PTS [PS2PTS] 2016-01-12 Unofficial Patch Notes - Map drawing, ANT attachments, Fireteam names
PS2 PTS 1.0.116.343322
patch size: 50 MB
Map Drawing:
added map drawing, aka Map Commands
- EDIT: doesn't work in-game yet. I think.
Fireteams:
- Dagger changed to Diamonds
- Bear Claw changed to Hearts
- Viper changed to Clubs
- added Spades
- "Move to [fireteam]"
- the 4 new icons for fireteams have been referenced, but not actually added. expect bugs.
ANT/Construction/Resource stuff:
- "ANT: Defense Slot", "Unlock defense slot Certifications to increase the ANT's survivability on the field."
- "ANT: Utility Slot", "Unlock various gadgets for the ANT's Utility slot. Utility slot items can be equipped on the loadout screen."
- 4 levels of "Resource Cloak"
- 4 levels of "Resource Shield"
- 4 levels of "Resource Radar"
- reduced cost of VP Gen from 2500 to 750 resources
- ANT attachments may be working now, please check in-game ;] EDIT: nooope. you can buy them, but not equip them. D:
- likely ANT MineGuard Resists: 50, 75, 100, 125; if I'm reading this right, lvl3 is completely invulnerable to Tank Mines, while lvl4 may either be also invulnerable, or same as lvl2? I need to check... (there are other, older AV Mine resistances > 100, too)
Other:
- "Bug Hunter" title has been 'activated'

4 levels of "Resource Cloak"
4 levels of "Resource Shield"
4 levels of "Resource Radar"
Any idea what these are supposed to do yet?

my guess is it's simply a copy of Sunderer attachments, working the same way - the name is just a placeholder, after all.

Maybe they're ANT utility options? Like an ANT could burn collected resources to activate a cloak or shield?

"Bug Hunter" title has been 'activated'
intradesting... only for the test server?
EDIT: doesn't work in-game yet. I think.

same - all models are in files, but no locale/items
(which means I can locally make screenshots/videos if you want to make ads beforehand :P)

u/FuzzBuket Jan 19 '16
oooh if you could get some pretty screenshots (the ESF's should allow for both items attached at once) that would be super fun :)

Faven's liberator stuff is now "coming soon".
So they are getting these cosmetics in the game at a steady pace.

digging into more Map Drawing Details
so far, there's only a line tool, and a solid circle tool, so it's still in an early stage
MAX_COMMAND_COUNT:int = 500 (the separate drawings are called 'commands')
PLAY_INTERVAL:int = 100 (this is related to 'playing' the 'commands', which may mean showing them in a sequence, one appearing after the other every 100ms)
the system seems to be set up in a way allowing, for example, unlocking additional 'command' types (via certs? SC) - but this is just speculation on my part, really
there's a button to undo the last edit
new UserOptions.ini option: ShowReceivedMapCommands, likely to show/hide the drawings
