bring you a MASSIVE update (on Steam right now, Humble shortly):

Major features:

• THE MOID (OBJECT COUNT) LIMIT IS GONE*!!! (*Not truly gone, but hardly reachable)
• Randomized maps: create a map once, play it forever
• Bunker prefabs: build your bunker of any size in no time
• AI skill sliders: bored? We have ‘Unfair’ AI skill for ya.
• Global scripts: add some pepper to any activity or control AI units in the campaign your way.
• Mod manager: no more .rte renaming!
• Constructor tool: AI brains seal themselves in tunnels to live long (and probably even prosper).
• Visible inventory: guess no longer about how many nukes you have left in your pockets.
• Scenes previews: you don’t have to remember all those scene names.

Content updates:

• 36 randomized maps for the campaign.
• Almost 200 bunker prefabs.
• New Dummy weapon – Lancer.
• Wounds, jetpacks, headshot damage multipliers, generic variables – all exposed to Lua.

Other improvements and fixes:

• Deployments can be used instead of units to make your map compatible with any player-selected techs.
• AI skill adjustments.
• Resolution selection fixes.
• HSplitScreen and VSplitScreen work just like before.
• Secret endless campaign mode.
• Tooltips on/off checkbox.
• Steam can be manually disabled if any start-up problems arise.
• Diggers create tunnels which way easier to walk through.
• Factions balance tweaks.
• Campaign strategic AI tweaks.
• Campaign tactical tweaks.
• You can safely set health more that 100, yet it’s still not recommended.
• Foreign items can be removed from the buy menu.
• Press CTRL+W to dump the entire world to .BMP file.
• Author can specify default gold, fog of war and other options for your activity and prevent player from changing them.
• Some activities may load scenes while discarding any pre-placed actors.
• Deployments now work correctly in scenario/skirmish modes. No more zombie spawns!
• AI actors in sentry mode no longer ignore enemies after reloading.
• The jet-pack mass indicator use jet-pack strength instead of hard-coded values.
• Small objects are less likely to mysteriously gib after a collision. (MOs now automatically gib when AngularVel > 2000/(MaxRadius+1) instead of 100).
• Meta Game: Crafts with MaxPassengers = 0 as are not used as drop crafts by the AI

New ini-properties:

• “AutoStabilize” (1 or 0) for ACDropShips. Enable/disable hard coded use of the upper thrusters, see the Dummy Drop Ship for a lua stabilization script.
• “ScuttleIfFlippedTime” for Dropships and Rockets. Craft gib if upside-down more than this value in ms. 4000ms by default, disable with -1.
• “LoudnessOnGib” <0..1> for MOSRotatings
• “LoudnessOnEmit” <0..1> for AEmitters
• … and many more here

Lua changes:

• Exposed MinThrowVel and MaxThrowVel for ThrownDevice
• … and many more here
