This is a hotfix for a new desync bug and an issue with commander range modules. Other fixes that we were working on made it in too, as well as a form of AI integration for Tech-K.


Features


  • AIs now have their structures upgraded automatically in Tech-K, so any AI can use it. This cheats a little, since structures are upgraded instantly, but the upgrades are paid for by skimming the top off their metal income. The proportion that goes to tech depends on scouted enemy tech levels. This behaviour can be disabled in battle options.
  • Commanders can now be tech-upgraded in Tech-K via the Strider Hub upgrade command.
  • Resurrection in Tech-K now creates level 1 units, to match the size of individual wrecks.
  • Added more Tech-K prefixes. These ones might even last beyond the point that the game crashes.
  • Added High Trajectory default to the ingame Unit Behaviour menu, for the units that can toggle it.

Fixes


  • Worked around a new desync bug that was likely due to the recent engine update. Behind the scenes we switched the default pathfinder to QTPFS and (temporarily) stopped using Lua path requests. This mainly affected battles with zombies or legacy AI, but could show up in other modes.
  • Fixed status effect damage removing commander range upgrades, as well as a few related minor issues. For example, Duck would have a momentary leash range glitch upon taking slow damage, due to differing torpedo and missile ranges.
  • Fixed a few Tech-K range-related issues for units with context dependant range (eg Duck and Claymore).
  • Fixed Tech-K gauss damage failing to scale.
  • Drones are also invisible to radar when under construction.
  • Units are no longer pushed sideways by the next nanoframe when they leave a factory.
  • Blastwings now leave the factory by flying up, rather than down.
  • Fixed missing cloak information in the unit information menu (Space+Click).
  • Fixed a rare vertical line indicator error.
  • Fixed "(default)" being written next to the wrong music album.
