Build 5 is another major, major release. Some of the major features/changes between this and Build 4:
[list] [*] Trainable Wa-wolf; a loyal pet that can be trained from a captured baby Wa-wolf [/*:m][*] Plexi-steel cages that can be set up to capture Wa-wolfs on Kinmegag 71 [/*:m][*] Laser rifle - high rate of fire long range version of the laser pistol [/*:m][*] Poisonous darts - short range projectile weapon produced by combining Poisonous Fruit found on certain trees with Wood; slowly drains a creatures health until they die, also makes creature lose all control of its movements. [/*:m][*] Call in Airstrike - calls in a devastating Confederate missile airstrike to the region on which your mouse cursor is positioned when you fire [/*:m][*] Painkillers - makes you impervious to any damage for a 20 second period [/*:m][*] Flamethrower - fires a burning cloud of fuel over an enemy, burning them to death in seconds [/*:m][*] Cloaking Device; works similarly to the Stealth Shield, however for ships [/*:m][*] Batteries. Available from store, and can be used like health packs to recharge batteries [/*:m][*] Slime: can be harvested from Glouibi slugs from the moon of Naquarin [/*:m][*] Three top secret and immensely powerful Alien items/weapons [/*:m][*] Bear/wolf meat that can be cooked [/*:m][*] Bear/wolf skins that can be sold at a shop
[/*:m][*] New ship weapons/upgrades: Twin Laser Cannon (more powerful version of the Small Laser Cannon) and Particle Cannon (an extremely high rate of fire projectile weapon that uses ammunition instead of energy; Wazzal fans will remember it) [/*:m][*] Confederacy Battleships can now be taken fully under your control. The also now have a fearsome secondary weapon, accessed by right clicking [/*:m][*] Confederacy Transports now periodically drop supplies to aid you in battle
[/*:m][*] New areas: Kinmegag 71, ice planet. Moon of Kinmegag. Moon of Naquarin. The Planet formally known as Errxelz (major area; hidden) [/*:m][*] New missions: Major mission: launch a suprise raid and destroy all enemy landed fighters on runways in the former Errxelz system. Send out emergency warning to the Confederacy from the Interplanetary Signal Array on Kinmegag 71 [/*:m][*] New creatures: Adult and baby Wa-wolfs, Ka-bears. Both can be killed and skinned using a combat knife. Glouibi slugs [/*:m][*] Added new defenses: flame thrower armed pillbox
[/*:m][*] Five 'brand-new' music tracks! Especially made by Ville! [/*:m][*] Low gravity areas! [/*:m][*] Several standard items are now distributed at random across the surface of planets (health packs, batteries etc) [/*:m][*] Alien fighters that fly over terrestrial systems now fire from the air unless you take cover [/*:m][*] Tanks now have a secondary Machine Gun weapon, accessed by right-clicking [/*:m][*] There are now three Alien Motherships patrolling the Amoza System; allows for re-spawning of Alien Fighters [/*:m][*] The classic spacepod trick of going up and down between the wrapped borders of Kravaak System to avoid the aliens no longer works [/*:m][*] Cloaking Device and Stealth Shield now use less energy, however are deactivated once the player fires a weapon [/*:m][*] Terrain effects no longer affect you when wearing the jetpack [/*:m][*] Googles no longer disappear from inventory after use, and can be deactivated [/*:m][*] Reworked tank, pillbox and turret control systems. Now tanks can be used by pressing T, and turrents and pillboxes both by pressing C. A lot harder than it sounds; hopefully it's a lot less buggy now. [/*:m][*] Weapons/items that require a certain rank to purchase now do not appear in store until you reach that rank [/*:m][*] Shooting down an alien fighter on a planet now gives you PP [/*:m][*] Added new Fuel bar for Flame Throwers and Jetpacks [/*:m][*] Added Fuel Pumps; work similarly to Health and Energy Pools [/*:m][*] New large crystal formations in the mines [/*:m][*] Completely reworked all Weapons Classes so that different species now have immunity/resistance/susceptibility to different weapon types (laser/projectile/flame etc) [/*:m][*] All planet, system and Confederate officer's names have been changed to have special significance. Think Var Equinallin... [/*:m][*] And how could I forget? Yar can be a dirty Pirate, me hearties! Arrr!
Fixed in Patch 5.03 of Wazzal II: The Final Dawn - Build 5:[/*:m] [*] Fixed the long lag encountered when entering the Errxelz (former) system.[/*:m] [*] Trialling another method to solve the unsolvable bug: preventing enemy battleships from spawning new Alien fighters when you are out of their specific area, which caused you to be defeated instantly when you returned.[/*:m] [*] Alien egg-layers on the Errxelz (former) system now properly drop three different Alien weapons/items when killed.[/*:m] [*] Right-clicking on the Captain's chair on the bridge of the Wolf IV no longer teleports you to the Moon of Naquarin. [/*:m] [*] Wa-wolves should now behave a little less like they have epilepsy.[/*:m] [*] Added new Confederacy Repair Docks.[/*:m][/list:u]
Before you play, several pointers/directions:
[list][*] Save regularly. This build is as bug-free as I can make it, but because I am stretching the Notrium engine just about as far as it can go with a lot of what I'm doing, it pays to back up.[/*:m] [*] If you drop or use items to reduce weight when overburdened but your move speed is still reduced, simply save the game and reload it, and it should work perfectly again. [/*:m] [*] Make sure you play the mod for at least 1/2 an hour! At the 30 minute mark, big things will start to happen...[/*:m][/list:u]
