    another one of my tests, i'm encouraging every one who reads this to come as there is some major game changing stuff in this one!

    Date - 31/07/2016

    Time - 7pm GMT / 2pm EST -

    Server Password: test


    - Scripts download
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/0r5gr79b6vdvdro/31-07 test.zip?dl=0


    most notable features:

    Jeep engines and armour!
    APC only armour!
    old weapons made anew!
    entirely redone infantry weapons to create further asymmetry and encourage more squad play!


    Armour rework -
    Changed Armour so there are two "categories", Light and heavy, most Armour's have been changed to "Heavy" and can only be used on tanks and Light is for Jeeps and APC's
    - APC's will get a few lighter variants of the Armour's

    New Light tank /AFV weapons: ( NEED TESTING)

    Depleted Uranium Light Machine gun - a weaker DU weapon with armor damaging capabilities
    Standard HE Cannon - Standard cannon with more explosive capabilities like the HE cannon
    Standard Bio ML - Standard Missile with a small bio capability added to it.

    Machine Guns rework:
    standard MG now called Light Machine gun with some changes
    .50 Cal MMG changed to .30 Cal MMG with some changes
    .50 Cal HMG changed a bit
    DU Mg's changed slightly
    HE MG is no longer ridiculously OP

    hope to be in the test (still being worked on)
    redone engines!




    installation:
    - navigate to: \SteamApps\common\Empires\empires
    - make a new folder on your desktop or empires folder called "script swap"
    - inside that folder put two more folders named "ScriptPires" and "original scripts"
    - put the RAR file in the Flash Pires folder and extract it, so you have a folder in the directory called scripts
    - cut the original script folder, found in \SteamApps\common\Empires\empires and paste it in the "original scripts" folder
    - cut the scripts folder in "flash Pires" and put it into the directory above
    - to swap scripts back for normal play, just cut and paste the script folders in and out of the main folder

    Not sure which one is loaded? check the folders to see which is empty

    Recommended:
    make an extra backup of the scripts folder elsewhere just in case

    So in the NF QC sub gun description it says "beroni" ;)


    You might want to up the damage on the NF marksman rifle. It's really hard to hit something with it as it is and taking two shots is kinda weird with it. esp. as it has a pretty long reload time. Maybe make it have only max 5 bullets with 1 in the mag and double reload time, but increase damage to about 80% of normal health and have it zoom in a third more and make the zoom-out animation about 500ms longer? Makes it feel a bit more potent as a long range rifle, but makes it absolutely crappy at closer ranges.
