Sea Power News

A belated happy new year to you all! We're releasing the first patch of the year, fixing some issues.

About saving/loading: This is heavily worked on. Our main dev for this feature is back and we're making very good progress on it. Again sorry, that it takes that long.
Beside that we also work on Performance improvements. Have fun!

Bug Fixes:

• Numerous null refs
  
• Out of range exceptions for units which don't have 2x5 compartments
  
• RemoveEngageTask was called for the wrong object which potentially messed up the engage tasks in overall
  
• Crash in Noesis (patched to 3.2.6p1)
  
• Spelling error in S-3 description
  
• SH-2F had 3 undefined squadrons
  
• Minor fixes in English ammunition_names.ini
  
• Tu-16 restored missing kill effect spawn meshes, shootdowns should look correct now (apply to all Tu-16 models)
  
• F1 family Damage Models not displaying fix
  
• Fixed a material error on Americas no 2 elevator
  
• Torpedoes used AimPointGeoPosition to determine FOV but the seeker gudance still used Vector3 intercept position
  
• Fixed ESM for P-3
  
• IR AA missiles were prone to miss because FOV was checked against aimpoint instead actual target
  
• Some edge case with terrain at 180° E/W where the center tile was calculated wrongly and led to a relocation loop (still WIP)
  
• Campaigns now use FileManager in menu
  
• Change start engines to update loop rather than coroutine as coroutine seemed heavy
  
• Props should start animating again, note to self check shutdown for coroutine performacne too
  
• Aircraft shutdown migrated out of coroutine to avoid error on despawn
  
• RU description for P4 torpedo boat was missing
  
• Some audio issues on spawning aircraft
  
• Incorrect number of sensors on various vessels
  
• SK flag on Soviet RoRo
  
• Ordered speed was not transferred to new formation leader when switching leaders
  
• Less than adequate altitude correction failsafe
  

Improvements/Additions:

• Descriptions for Enterprise and Belknap 72
  
• Updated Sentry to 2.4.0
  
• Set UseAssetBundles to false per default for now to avoid broken games outside when that setting is accidentally set to true
  
• Aircraft carrier deck ops overhaul - many thanks to the great work by Mateusz Ossowski alias Ossesek without whose hard modding this work would would not be possible.
  All carriers now recover aircraft at a rate of 50-70 second intervals, and launches are also faster.
  Carriers are still limited to either recovering OR launching, that is, no simultaneous launch and recovery is possible as this is the way all carriers operate IRL. We will soon introduce Alert 5 status for the bow cats to allow a 'launch on warning' ability even during recovery, though.
  
• EN ui text for Disable Triggers
  
• Boilerplate for future work. Significant changes to Pause Menu to support configuration in code rather than through XAML.
  
• Russian and German translation
  
• Business jet weight, fuel weight and engine thrust
  
• Added modex mesh and many liveries
  
• Added more P-3 liveries
  
• Added JMSDF P-3 with liveries
  
• WIP: Initial Linear Mission set. Now able to run missions from it. Simplified some stuff in UI
  
• Workshop: Initial Tag limiting controls (WIP)
  
• Move to Top and Bottom commands in Mod Manager
  
• Load Order for disabled Mods is preserved
  
• Modders requested ability to influence outOfAltitudesPenalty and SpeedPenaltyMultiplier
  
• 1968 Coontz version
  

Dear all, here comes a first patch mainly for the Long Beach which had some issues. Happy holidays (if you have any) and Merry Christmas! Have fun!

Bug Fixes:

• Null ref
  
• Lower case Finland in Nations Override (due to missing reference in nations.ini)
  
• Collider errors on Long Beach
  
• Floating mesh on Enterprise
  
• Missing weapons on Long Beach 83

Improvements/Additions:

• Russian and Chinese translations
  
• Tweaked deck texture on OHP
  

Happy Christmas to all of you that have helped support Sea Power on its first Two months in the wild! What a ride it has been for us so far, with an amazing reception from an incredibly supportive fanbase. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being understanding about bugs and issues and helping us to fix them!

On the subject of bugs you will be pleased to know that we have been running fairly extensive testing over the last few weeks to really try and nail down the memory leaks that we have been seeing. We think we are getting there and this latest patch should bring you joy in not creating several hundred thousand copies of the material assigned to trees for example… Pity poor Noah who has been creating missions where he rapidly switches between units for an hour (for example).

We at Triassic will be taking a bit of a Christmas Break, recovering a little and spending time with our families from the 24th December to the 6th January so please do not expect any updates in that time period. But we will be back with a vengeance in the New Year!

However, we’re not going to go away at Christmas without leaving you some proper gifts!

For those of you that make vessel mods I have finally got around to adding some code to let you have profile images in the encyclopaedia to go with them! More to come on that front in the New Year.

Ivan, Danill, and Ben have all been working hard on bug fixes and the occasional new feature. Active Sonar TMA should be much improved with this patch for example! There is much muttering from Ben about some really clever stuff to do with updating the map to be more performant too.

Ian has been working hard on the shaders, adding more feel to underwater scenes in particular. Ben and I have been helping (I’m not sure that is true) by sending photos of going diving on holiday.

Mek brings you goodies from the East (of Europe), the Kondor II class Minehunter and the P-4 and Wisla-classes of Patrol Boats.



And Nils? Well Santa Nils brings you a gift that many of you have asked for. First there was the mighty USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States Navy. The Big E is still the longest Naval Vessel ever built!



But now there’s something new, another ship that comes with a big square boxy top … that’s right! MERRY CUBEMAS! The USS Long Beach sails again! This Nuclear-powered Missile Cruiser was specifically designed to carry the same radar system as Big E.

Hello everyone and a happy belated start into December! 4 weeks have passed since the release of Sea Power and we're working hard to improve the game and to work in your feedback. Saving/Loading is still heavily worked on so we hopefully will have it in soon!

[h3]Air Defense State Changes[/h3]

What it did

With this update will come a big change to Air Defense states. Previously, the 'Weapons Free' mode would be one of the options available. Past implementation of this made it so the ship would engage all track types (land, air, sea, and submarines) at will. During this process of engagement, it would often lock users out of control of their unit which was not intended design and a placeholder for testing.

What it does now

Now, this command to go 'Weapons Free' is still available, but has been tuned to only allow your ship to engage Air Tracks (missiles, helicopters, and aircraft that are classified hostile). However, Inside of the options menu, we have added a new option to 'Allow firing on surface targets with weapons free' (Off by default). Now, Anti Surface Weapons and Anti Submarine weapons will need to be manually used against those target types.

This change will allow those who like to watch the AI battle each other still be able to create epic scenes, while letting those who want a bit more control of their vessels. We are still discussing how we want to change alignment controls to give you even greater control of your vessels in combat as well. This means your units will still ignore move waypoints while engaging a track at this time, but should be less often now.

[h3]Contact messages[/h3]

We added an option in the menu so you can toggle if you want to hear the contact faded messages or contact messages at all.

Aircraft/Helicopters

Bug Fixes:

• Helicopter blades clipping through hangar on Belknap
  
• Blocked waypoint deletion for landing Aircraft
  
• Aircraft not selected weapon by click if outside range brackets

• Narrow FOV value for TASM seeker to avoid horde attacks on one target
  
• Reduced Terminal dist for TASM to avoid premature retargeting when launching to specific target
  
• AS-4 speed/range tweak
  
• AS-4 missile now uses Deceleration parameter to slow down to TerminalVelocity to simulate slowing after the start of dive due the air density
  
• Interception bonus nerfed for high-speed missiles
  
• Hardcoded deceleration factor value replaced by Deceleration parameter in AmmunitionParameters, it defaults to the former hardcoded value of 3.0

• Sonars reviewed with emphasis on active sonars effectiveness increase
  

Mission Editor

Bug Fixes:

• Any mission now saved only when all data is proccessed correctly on WriteFile, so faulty saves should not corrupt mission files anymore
  
• When user returned from Play -> Exit journey, all changes were lost because original mission file was loaded instead of the temp mission file
  
• SelectedUnitInGroup was not nullified when adding new group, so data of last selected unit in previous group was modified when adding new group

Small Patch Update 0.1.0.7: This change just adds some logging for the mission editor to allow better bug hunting.

So after over SIX THOUSAND and more responses, the first thing I want to say on behalf of Triassic Games is thank you for the many responses you all have made! I'm going to take a moment here to talk on a few of the points that were brought up from the survey results.

[h3]Avg. user experience rating[/h3]

An avg of 7.6/10 is quite that rating, and we are very grateful to receive so much praise in the many responses everyone left behind.

[h3]Areas of Gameplay to be improved[/h3]

So this area has a few points I would like to give some insight on..

AI improvements (26.4%)
• The Triassic Games team will be focusing on this point going into Dec., so that we can provide a more enjoyable combat experience and mission making potential. We've already started on this by working on aircraft to get those carriers operating, with more to follow improvements to follow in due time!
  
Improved Controls (23.6%)
• Yes, we hear you! We will be looking into improving some controls going forward to help make the game more playable and accessible. We still have some ideas to discuss internally, but as of right now we are looking into the following:
  
• Improved awareness of unit actions (vessels will be getting their status bar updated to show relevant unit action, which we've also tackled the first iterations off, pending localizations for some.)
  
• Discuss topics internally about aircraft controls for users to help reduce micromanagement, weapon toggles for open/free fire defense states, and more.
  
More units of all types (14.2%)
• As of right now, we have plans to add more units of all types, and we are looking at adding units of all types (Land, Air, Sea) on a regular basis. We will be starting in 2025 with this plan, as we are currently focused on addressing bugs.
  
And finally, Saving Loading systems
• We will be moving into a testing phase soon, which the beta team will be helping us test out in the coming weeks. We still want to work on it further to make sure it's stable enough for public use before rolling it out, as we don't want those hour long missions to get messed up because of such an important feature!
  

[h3]Other News..[/h3]

Dec->2025

Once Christmas arrives, the team at Triassic is in desperate need of a big break. After over 4 years of continuous work, the team will be taking the two weeks from Christmas to New Years off (Dec. 23-Jan.3) (Doesn't mean we won't be around, but we will not update the game during this time frame unless it's a hotfix for a urgent issue).

Also we love everyone's memes we've been seeing around and we wish you luck in your operations!
