ASE v0.03a
- Hello everyone.
It's been a while, once again. I hope everybody is doing well. I've been hard at work preparing for a band performance this Friday, doing work things and not working on ASE. But while deadlines are deadlines, some days you just have to do something else, so I have found a bit of time to cobble together this patch for the game. Let's get into what's new.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed loadout saving bug
- Fixed minimap sprite size bugs
- Fixed lock-on tied to camera bug
- Fixed various UI, animation, and other miscellaneous bugs that I can't remember
New Content & Other Changes
- Reverted missile code to the original OperationMaverick design for more accuracy.
- Replaced terrain textures with less disgusting versions.
- Added mission timers to all missions.
- Added score attack mission mechanic.
- Aim to reach the target score by the end of the mission to complete it successfully. Friendly units will contribute to your score.
- Added mission updates and area triggers, which are big spheres you can fly through to trigger mission updates. Later on, more triggers will be added.
- Refactored altitude limit code to act as a mission modifier that can be applied to any mission.
- Added basic AI formations. Formations follow a formation leader, and can either fly in formation, or disperse to engage targets.
- Added 2 very basic missions to demonstrate the mechanics, a canyon run with altitude limit, and a score attack air superiority mission
- Increased MTAM flight time
That's basically it.
What's next?
I've been experimenting with a few other things for next patch, but I'm not sure how close I am to readying them. Possibly:
- Weapon refactor (I'm aware that STDM is very wonky at close range)
- Controls remapping & better M+KBM controls
I'm also thinking I want to add a state machine to AI units to enhance their formation abilities. We'll see.
That about wrap things up for this update. Again, I apologise for the delay and general visual presentation of things. Thank you for reading this far!
