Zero-K v1.4.9.0 to Zero-K v1.4.9.2

Starlight finally has a new model, something more fitting of the most expensive thing you can build. Starlight might see more use as Bantha has received a nerf as a result of free-for-all and endgame feedback. Smaller units have also received attention with many unit AI improvements and a fix for non-functional slow weaponry.

Balance

Bantha:

• Larger Hitvolume: It is now a 60 radius cylinder instead of a 55 wide and 35 deep box. This should make it weaker to spread weapons and Ultimatium.
• Reduced Speed 1.72 -> 1.55. This puts it between Dante and Detriment instead of approximately the same as Dante. It can still skirmish Detriment with no problem.
• Reduced Health 36k -> 32k.

Detriment:

• LargerHitvolume: radius 80 cylinder -> radius 92. It was looking a bit thin in comparison to Bantha.

Starlight:

• Size 8x8 -> 10x10

Fixed slow damage.

Unit AI

• Most precise unguided rockets and plasma cannons now have overkill prevention against structures. This is an improvement for many assaults, precise artillery, Rocko and Rogue.
• Added overkill prevention for Placeholder. They try to avoid overlapping their shots (unless against a particularly heavy foe).
• Mid-range units avoid explosive structures (Fusions, Pylons etc...).
• Fixed some Scorcher dive and heatray target priority bugs.
• Wolverines now skirmish everything.
• Added tactical AI for Impaler, Pillager, Bantha and Grizzly
• Anti-heavies now prioritize heavy units more strongly.
• Reduced the target priority of unidentified radar dots.
• Reduced the target priority of wobbling radar dots for unguided precise weapons.

Fixes and Interface

• Added ingame ignore.
• The camera now zooms to your startbox upon commander selection.
• Fixed cloaked flying Blastwings.
• Fixed Shredder wreck.

Added map boxes:

• Harbinger
• Sands of War
• Added fallback boxes.

Oh my... I got that new update.

Now I can´t start then game anymore.
The log ist below.

ANy ideas of how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Failed to load FontFile: fonts/FreeSansBold.otf, installation of spring broken? did you run make install?

Zero-K v1.4.9.2

The problem started right after the update.

i have been playing then game one hor before on 1.4.9.0 without any trouble.

quote: Failed to load FontFile: fonts/FreeSansBold.otf, installation of spring broken? did you run make install?

Take FreeSansBold.otf from any installation of spring, and move it to engine/103.0.1-129-g98e3979/fonts. Simple fix.

PS: in the future [url=www.pastebin.com]pastebin[/url] your infolog.

The Detriment change is mostly because its hitbolume looked wrong for its size.

It should have a huge main explosion followed by a satellite crash causing another massive explosion.

Go big or go home.
