BallisticNG News

1.0.3 has just released! We have some fixes and other improvements that we wanted to get out while we're working on 1.1. Stay tuned as we'll be unveiling what's to come in the games first content update soon!


If you have uploaded a CSF ship to the workshop you are going to need to update your Unity project with the latest Unity Tools package and re-upload them. Changes to how the game handles CSF ships in this update requires all file names to be unique which originally uploaded workshop CSF files do not have.

If you've downloaded CSF ships from the workshop and they haven't updated then the game won't load them and details will be printed to the game's console.

Apologies for the inconvenience.


If you want the quick rundown of what's new, here are the highlights:

• Survival now has leaderboard support
  
• Improved collision detection and made bottoming out more consistent
  
• Updated several of the games sounds
  
• Model B ships now have animated airbrakes
  
• Fixed several issues related to CSF format custom ships
  

User Interface

• You can no longer select Model B tracks when playing eliminator
  

Gamemodes

• Added support for Survival leaderboards
  
• Removed leaderboard support from race based gamemodes
  

User Interface

• Added a close button to the console
  
• Drastically improved the consoles rendering performance
  

Ships

• Added animated airbrakes to the Model B Ships
  
• Fixed each Model B ship now having a default livery name
  
• Fixed ghost ships using the vertex wobble offset in the energy wall shader
  
• Fixed some inconsistent behaviours with heavy wall impacts
  
• Fixed distorted UVs around Caliburns right airbrake
  
• Ghost ships now use the ships frontend mesh when available
  
• Scenery walls not aligned with a track sections right vector now allow heavy wall impacts
  
• The collision sparks now inherit the ships impact velocity
  
• Bottoming out is now handled upon collision with the track floor instead of being triggered by a hover threshold. This provides more consistent floor bounce behaviour across all ships
  
• Ships now use continuous collision detection, this prevents ships with sharp wings like the NX from clipping through walls
  

Tracks

• Fixed the holograms shader ignoring the clipping distance setting
  

Weapons

• Fixed the plasma bolt spawning in the wrong location for certain CSF format custom ships
  
• The spawn position for the plasma bolt projectile is now determined using the ships mesh length instead of a static offset
  

Ai

• Fixed the pitch input not being reset to zero when an AI takes control of a player ship
  
• Rewrote the ship-ship collision avoidance to make it more effective by letting AI react to the player ahead of time
  

Audio

• Fixed the afterburner sound playing multiple times on some inputs and also playing when pressing the input in the pitlane
  
• There is now a delay threshold between playing track impact sounds, sometimes collisions can happen very close together so this prevents sounds from overlapping each other
  
• Update several sounds:
  
  • Wall impacts (now also used for bottoming out)
    
  • Wall scraping
    
  • Start boost
    
  • Start boost fail
    
  • Airbrakes
    
  • Turbo pickup use
    
  • Energy wall bolt fire
    

Engine

• CSF ship bundles are now fully unloaded when navigating the ship turntable and a lock system is now in place which prevents assets currently being used from being unloaded.
  
• Bottoming out on the track now spawns the collision hit particle effect
  

Achievements

• The minesweeper achievement is now achievable if you destroy a mine while the mines destroyed stat is above the achievement target.
  
• Custom achievement unlock statuses are no longer forgotten if you disable the mod they belong too.
  

Multiplayer

• Fixed CSF ships not loading if a player selects a livery that has an index higher then your own local copy of the same ship. The game will now load the default livery if this occurs.
  

Modding

• Fixed the BallisticNG/CustomShipCull shader not being translated to the in-game version upon custom ship loading
  
• If duplicate files are found in the myships/mytracks folders when categorizing root files the game will now replace the already categorized files with the uncategorized version.
  

Layout Creator

• Fixed side snapping to a track route traversing in the opposite direction resulting in vertices connecting to the opposite side of the track
  

Unity Tools

• Updated all video assets to use VP8 encoding, this should fix crashes on Linux once custom tracks have been updated by their authors
  
• When uploading a CSF to the workshop the temp file it generates to upload is now given the workshop ID as a file name
  

Multi-platform specific

• Linux builds now stores all settings in the game's ini file instead of using Unity's PlayerPrefs system. The game now also manually retrieves the desktops resolution to assign on first launch.
  

Happy piloting!

BallisticNG 1.0.2 has just released and we're pleased to announce new tools for custom ship creators to play with!


The Unity tools package originally developed for importing custom tracks is now also a tool for importing custom ships. The old in-game ship importer is being depreciated in favour of these Unity based tools which provide you with more options then ever before and makes future expansion much easier!

The old ship importer is being removed in a future update, make sure you upgrade your ships to the new format to continue updating them in the future.

If you're interested in getting started there is full documentation available here: https://ballisticng.gamepedia.com/Import_Ship_Tutorial


The track uploader is going to be depreciated in a future update in favour of a tool inside of Unity itself. The new tool functions the same as the standalone program but is just inside of Unity, meaning only a single codebase is required for full multiplatform support.

To access the new track uploader import the Unity tools update and then navigate to BallisticNG -> Track Workshop Manager from the toolbar.



Engine

• Implemented support for the new custom ship CSF format
  
• The cockpit camera is no longer available if the ship doesn't have a cockpit
  
• The external chase camera fov is now clamped to a maximum of 115 degrees and reacts to velocity changes more slowly
  
• The width and height of track sections are now calculated and referenced to by individual sides. This fixes many potential issues in tracks which don't have symmetrical sections and in other scenarios like route entrances/exits
  

Ships

• Fixed flares on custom ships with more then 1 engine rendering through walls
  
• Greatly reduced the velocity transfer on rear ship bumps
  
• Duplicate ships in races now use alternative liveries
  

User Interface

• The ship importer option on the menu now has a legacy notice
  
• Ship descriptions are no longer forced down to lowercase
  

Modding

• Added a custom ship module system, more information will be coming about this in documentation updates soon.
  

Layout Creator

• Fixed the virtual floor visualizer persisting if virtual mode was used before entering the layout creator
  

Unity Tools
Reimport the BallisticUnityTools.unitypackage file for this update.

• Added BallisticNG -> Debugging -> Run Initial Open Wizard
  
• Added BallisticNG -> Track Workshop Manager
  
• Added support for setting up and exporting custom ships
  
• Added the Marina Rush tile textures
  
• Implemented Steamworks for the new workshop functionality
  

Have fun modding!

We've just released 1.0.1! This small update includes some bug fixes, gameplay tweaks and quality of life changes. Check out the changelog below for the full list of changes.

Enjoy the update and have a great new year!

AI

• Greatly reduced weapon aggression for the higher AI difficulties
  
• Fixed the AI not pitching
  
• The random top speed stat multiplier no longer allows the stat to exceed the ships original top speed
  
• Reduced the rubber banding present in the Elite and Hardcore difficulties
  

Layout Creator 2.0

• Fixed the editor soft locking when you delete every node in a route at once
  
• Fixed the editor soft locking when entering playmode with a separated route
  
• Fixed UVs being flipped on junction walls
  
• Fixed extra sections being generated at 0, 0, 0 when more than 1 route with no connected exit is present
  
• Track shape interpolation now uses a quadratic easing curve
  

Tracks

• Fixed the tile on Omega Harbour that wasn't using the reflective floor variant
  
• Fixed the incorrect wall tiles on Nova Split Reverse
  

Linux/Mac

Unity Tools
Reimport the BallisticUnityTools.unitypackage file for this update.

• If a prefab for an imported TRM already exists then reimporting the TRM will no longer recreate the prefab and just update the meshes without breaking scenes. If a valid BNG scene is open then the track atlas and lighting will automatically be re-applied to the track once the re-import has finished.
  
• Fixed some major track data generation issues where wall tiles are generated using floor tile references and the atlas painter was also referencing wall tiles when painting and updating wall uvs.
  
  The wall fix will only apply to newly generated tracks, if you want to update your tracks to the new UVing system a button has been added to the Track Data object which will let you do a one-way upgrade.
  

Hey everyone, just letting you know that we've just pushed the hotfix for the Linux issue mentioned in the release announcement. This also includes a small patch for the Mac version to address an issue with Surge.

If you're running the Windows version of the game you don't need to worry about the changelog listed below.

• [Linux] Your chosen screen resolution is no longer handled by Unity and is instead managed by the game, this fixes the games resolution needing to be reset on every startup after the first one.
  
• [Linux] Fixed the retro/modern visuals prompt always being presented on every startup
  
• [Mac, Linux] Fixed the track meshes on Surge using the wrong shader
  

Thank you for your patience, enjoy the game!

BallisticNG has left Early Access and 1.0 is now released! It's been a crazy few years and we're finally at the point where BallisticNG can be considered finished. With that said though, this doesn't mean the end of development and there's still plenty to come in the future so be sure to stay tuned for new content to come.

Leaderboards have been reset for the release, this is the last leaderboard reset that we will be doing.

We hope you enjoy the new release, there's a lot of new content for you to dive into and with the updated multiplayer you can now have a lot more fun with friends!

We're now going to take a short break and will be back after the holidays to setup modding tools documentation and a demo.


A bug in Unity is currently forcing the game to run at a resolution of 0x0 when fullscreened, we have a potential full workaround but unfortunately there wasn’t enough time to get it implemented for release. For the time being Steam has been setup to run a bash script which forces the game to run in a window with your primary monitor’s resolution, we’re looking to get a hotfix out for the issue ASAP.

If you’d prefer to stay on 0.9.4 in the meantime a legacy branch has been setup. You can jump onto it by right clicking the game in your Steam library, navigating to Properties -> Betas and selecting the legacy branch from the dropdown. This will be taken down when the issues are resolved.


Here is the massive 1.0 changelog. Not every single change and fix has been marked below because it would be even larger than it already is!
