Over the past weeks and months the Rival-Species team has been meticulously forging the most recent incarnation of WH40K: Rival-Species into a greatly improved and much more playable recreation of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Rival-Species 1.123 hopes to address some of the issues highlighted by our earlier release, and has been subjected to far more extensive public testing than 1.0. Below are some of the most notable changes since 1.0:
·Added feature for leaders to give veteran abilities to a class.
·Removed ability for leaders to disallow classes.
·Restructured spawn system.
·More intuitive menus.
·Fixed Camera-Not-Resetting bug.
·Motorbikes!
·Redid spectator system.
·New Race: World-Eaters
·Vastly improved vehicle code allowing better steering and! aiming.
·Variety of new sounds and special effects.
·Addressed balancing issues.
·Improved jetpack.
·Added realistic recoil to ranged weapons!
·Dealing damage to enemies counts towards your score.
·Stamina system introduced.
·New game modes: arena, area capture.
·Pistol/Melee weapon combos!
·Improved melee (close combat) code.
·Dead bodies now remain until change of class.
·Wide range of bug fixes, tweaks, and improvements.
·Enhanced stability.
·Removed class-shrink ability
Most notable of these for our current players is the removal of class disallowing by the commander, and replacing this with an ability to designate which class gets a veteran ability. This should encourage people to take the class the commander wants, without leaving the system open to the annoying antics of unscrupulous individuals.
So what are you waiting for? Download Rival-Species 1.123 and wade into the carnage that is Warhammer 40k!
