Hotfix build 76557 is live - Unit Cannon Update!

But... but... there was no epic battle..! It's like winning an 8FFA by being left all alone on the metal planet and just blowing up the other planets in the end with the annihilaser.
Now I don't know whether I should be happy or sad?

If it helps, that was from @tvinita 's patch notes he sent me.. I woulda changed it back to bolo if i had noticed.. as a mater of fact.. time to edit OP

Oh no you don't. THE ANT REIGNS.

The servers may be live but the available download still says 75740
Thus I'm unable to play any multiplayer games.

Darnit, now I don't know if I should be sad or happy.

@wpmarshall : Make them stop!

Are you on Linux? I think @jables forgot to update the Linux build. You can use any of the available patchers though:
Available patchers:

• Pyrus' Python PA Patcher
• UberWillam's GO Patcher
• DeathByDenim's (hey hey!) Qt4 Patcher

adding the unit cannon trailer to OP. (edit: @Ekanaut beat me to it)

• unit cannon still needs landing disbursement area commands.
• pod slides into the chamber in the wrong direction. also slides through a "wall"
• orbital launcher animation still not fixed
• unit cannon firing into orbital animation is wrong
• nuke and unit cannon orbital animation is wrong
• Holkins firing animation is wrong
• anchor firing animation is wrong (model should be updated)
• pa.exe stopped working on unit cannon firing. client crash server still running
• after nuke blast, unit cannon has no wreckage

Hah, whoops. We had to temporarily revert the build when deploying last night, and we forgot to bump the "latest version" field when we pushed it out again, causing it to link to the old file on the build page. Fixed now. Thank you for reporting it, @nuxas.

@jorgenpt, the issue with CSGs on Linux still persists: PA#4277.

When you have the time, please mark the above it as confirmed. Thanks bud.

There's a sadistic pleasure in watching people who've waited years for the UC suddenly whine about it

@wpmarshall just edit his edit!

Hey sorian, how likely is it that we'll see some spread for the unit cannon pods? Is it possible to mod it in right now?

Would it work with area commands?

Can't wait for the spread. That will be a huge step towards making it more balanced

I don't think it is area attack command that people are wanting. They just want the unit cannon to automatically spread the landing point of all pods. What should happen is that all the pods land at different points but more of certain units can be contained within one pod.

For example
One slammer per pod. This would means the slammers would be spread out on landing.
3 fabbers per pod. This would mean the 3 fabbers would land pin point.

What would be even better is that the fabbers land in the centre and combat units are spread in a circle around the fabbers.

I also think the unit cannon should be a lot more expensive so that you can't spam lots of them. But you should also be able to build more pods per unit cannon.
