Beta Balance testing! Woohoo!

I've got the Beta Balance Mod finished. Wanna play with the old balance? Then come on to the lobby and join my awesome game!

It's also on PAMM for those wondering. If you didn't play in the beta, here's the starting build:

mex,mex,pgen,mex,botfac,some dox, endless engineers, commander builds power and maybe an air fac.

I still play like it's beta, so I suck in current balance...

Maybe I can finally be up to par once more?

It both makes you appreciate the fixes Uber made, AND rue the balance direction changes.

I like the release balance system, including the fixes, but so many gameplay issues make it feel cheap and bland compared to beta. That is why I mod balance.

Annnnnnd I broke it. Don't worry folks - that really weird 1 shot per second catapult will be fixed soon....I think...

Fixed, updated on PAMM. AWESOME.

I don't have the time to play tonight but I certainly will get this mod and play tomorrow also i look forward to seeing you around and destroying you :3 thanks again for the mod I also look forward to seeing what part of beta has been made into the mod... if the gunship snipe is back as a strat then I'll have to complain to you to get the stinger back in the game somehow xP

I might just make a mod that gets alpha balance too, haha. I still have a version of early alpha, though I'll have to format it's .json correctly. xP

What about gamma balance? Y'know, before they fixed pelican drops or hornet nukes or vanguard flamethrower and everything was so damn lethal lol.

There was no such thing as alpha balance.

+1 to Gamma balance mod.

*cough* lets make a mod for every release build then have a huge tourney for each and thus people become kings of certain builds xP

The workload would be insane. It took me two days to flush this one out, and there are still a few little things that need done to it.

true but there are others out there who are modding gods they could probably code a bot that took the data values and made the mod for them somehow...

Pffff.. You don't remember 8 speespend tanks and 10 speed bots? Ooh and remember when bots were OP? Like- a different kind of OP from today.

Ah well, it'll just be for funsies.

auto converter that changes all the old .jsons to read in the new engine (some bullshit dying->died change) should make it a day of work. Not that big a deal.

Well, after looking through the jsons to get the numbers sorted out last night, i noticed there were QUITE a few lines added from the old builds. Afaik a simple coverter won't do the trick, but we need more info.

You need to learn to let computers do work for you.

I thought I had. I've been trying to find an auto balance script for a while.

Actually, I could build one...probably.

Maybe it will be my next project. I'll write it in Python

The framework already exists and Colin already made it for health values. Take it and build a similar one for other values and for inserting new lines for new effects.

which beta balance are we talkin'?
