News

Hello everyone!

Welcome to DAY ONE, MINUTE ONE UPDATE!
Ahah! What did you expect? A basic “Happy new year” humans?

Well, let’s get started!

— MOVEMENTS —

• Introducing “Falling Jump”

During 2018, you were able to Jump, Super Jump, Bounce, Dodge, Wall-Dodge & Boost. We start this new year by adding “Falling Jump” movement!
This jump is usable only when you are falling (yes, it’s obvious), it uses 20% of your stamina and can be combined as follow:
>> Jump + Falling Jump
>> Super jump + Falling jump
>> Dodges + Falling jump
>> Wall-Dodges + Falling Jump
>> Bounce + Falling jump
>> or just falling and use it 🙂

To use it, press the SUPER JUMP button. Check below for an example of its usage:

• • Bounce faster! Now bounce speed is clamp to 1700 instead of 1500.

— WEAPONS UPDATE —

• Rocket Launcher Alt-Fire

The Rocket Launcher now has an alt-fire named “Rocket bump”. When you press the alt-fire button, the rocket launcher will fire a special rocket where maximum damage is clamp to 10HP but has the ability to bump all players located near the explosion!
An example of this usage in this video:

• Plasma Alt-Fire

The plasma alt-fire is the opposite of its primary fire. This one isn’t fast and the plasma projectile undergoes gravity! When the plasma projectile touch something (except a player), it remains frozen for a few seconds before exploding.

To see a demo of the Plasma alt-fire, check below:

— SOUNDS —

• Elevator sounds

• Pickup variant sounds (boost, heal, weapons)

• Other fixes
  • Teleporters sound.
  • Spawn radius sound.
  • Pickups radius sound.

— MAPS UPDATE —

• DM-Ross_128b : structural update. Every room was updated with more open space for navigation and fights.

• DM-BlutArena: Weapons & boost pickups adjustments.

And that’s all for today!
Update your game, servers are already ready!!
Happy new year humans 🙂

Hello everyone!

We end this month with a new update, which will be available later today (or might even already be available). Let’s see what’s new!

First, we added a map vote system!

This option is activatable with a server command line with ?EnableMapVote=1.
For example:

start .\Binaries\Win64\MasterArena.exe Server DM-Mars?EnableMapVote=1

When it’s active, the map vote interface will be displayed after the statistics. You will also be able to vote during a match. If the majority of the gamers voted, the server will force the end of the match and automatically load the desired map.

Second, is a little update of the scoreboards. Your Steam avatar will now be displayed. If you are playing with bots, “Master Arena” logo will be used by way of an avatar.

Next, new elements are available in the editor.

• Flags for CTF mode

• Teleporters

Some explanations about the use of the teleporters: When you select the teleporter in the interface, the mesh replaces the previous one. Put it down wherever you want it. The teleporter is then replaced by a green ball, which represents the destination of the teleportation.
See the screenshot below for the various combinations :

• The mesh of “DM-Basket” have been added in different colors.

Next, let’s talk about the changes in the gameplay:

• Weapons
  • Plasma :
    • Projectile travel time: down to 15 000 (previously: 20 000).
    • Momentum Transfer: 5000 (previously:1000).
  • SMG:
    • Burst: up to 7 (previously: 5)
    • Fire rate down to 0.125s (previously: 135s).
  • ShotGun :
    • Projectile travel time: down to 13 750 (previously: 18 750).
  • Grenade Launcher:
    • Momentum Transfer: 150 000 (previously: 5000).
  • Rocket Launcher
    • Reference damage up to 70 HP (previously: 60).
    • Damage radius down to 450uu (previously: 850).
    • Core Damage radius up to 80uu (previously: 36).
    • Momentum Transfer : 200 000 (previously: 100 000).

>> The Momentum Transfer is the ability to bump your enemies.

For more information about the adjustment of the weapons, check this Google sheet.

• Movements :
  • The use of the Boost gauge was revised :
    • Wall dodge : 10% (previously 15%)
    • Dodge: 20% (previously 25%)

>> To put it simply, you will be able to do more wall-dodges before you run out of stamina! We look forward to your feedback about this change. At this time, the boost items are left unchanged (+20%).

Finally,  some minor fixes :

• Menu sliders: a direct click on the slider value now works.
• In Game to Editor: “Open existing map” now works.
• Random camera TPS when players collide with other players: now fixed.
• Some statistics fixes.
