I started working on battleMETAL 10 years ago on July 6th, 2016. It was released 6 years ago, and I provided updates as best I could over the past several years. When I started the entire project, I didn't really have a long term vision; just that as a hardcore Mechwarrior / Earthsiege fan, I wanted to take a crack at making my own version. In so many ways the game shouldn't exist, but somehow it does. Basing it on a (even by 2016) aging Quake sourceport was certainly a choice, one that has created extra effort to maintaining the game or adding new content. Yet, part of the quirky charm is def

Leg animations were affected by monitor framerate, and the issue has been addressed. I've also updated graphics options to make V-sync and custom refresh rates as either/or.

Finally locked down an annoying issue with the tactical map being oddly mirrored. Map image, object locations, and player facing should completely line up now. Also added the new lightning bolt beams to crystal hazards, makes it easier to see when players are getting hit.

MetalTech: Earthsiege , October 1994, by Dynamix. Short history: Dynamix made Mechwarrior 1 in 1989. As they started working on Mechwarrior 2, Activision pulled the rights. Activision's Mechwarrior 2 would of course go on to be a legendary game in its own right. Dynamix wanted to finish their mech game, and so Earthsiege was born, forging a separate lineage of mech games, distinct from Mechwarrior. Earthsiege 1 was and still is, a feature-rich mech experience. Semi-procedural mission creation, a salvage/logistics metagame, weather factors, deep mech-HUDs with tons of displays, and even squadma

Beams long suffered from the limitations of Darkplaces default particle system. For all its power, it lacks good higher-resolution details. 5.3.0 adds a new way of rendering beams, allowing for bright and crisp graphics. Additionally I've increased the impact-particle-size of many weapons, this should improve gameplay readability.

oh and apparently 5.2.2 didn't actually go live, great work, me.

Small patch that should fix the inconsistent Light Laser rail effects. Set default gl_texturemode to GL_NEAREST, which takes advantage of the lower res, crunchy texture.

Big thanks to users posting bugs on the discord; they flagged 2 issues that I've fixed. Map O3M3: hard-lock with enemy spawning underground that couldn't be destroyed. cl_hud_alpha: misspelled this var in the config file, meaning some users ended up with no visible HUD on a first-install.

BIG PATCH NOTES ---------------- Almost 2 years in development, not bad for a 1-person team. There's a lot more work under the hood to achieve most of these items, but this is easiest to read highlight. I focused as best as possible on improving the quality of life items for players, smoothing out some rough edges. Content took a bit of a backseat, I did add 3 brand new campaign missions to round out the main campaign to 15 maps finally, but that's about the extend of what I can provide. This is a big enough change to warrant starting your game over from the beginning. Where possible your old
