[h3]Cepheus Protocol Dev Update 14[/h3]
https://youtu.be/LOdVk1yiuak


To opt into experimental install "Cepheus Protocol Experimental" in your steam library.
It is no longer a beta opt in but an entirely new game granted when you purchase the base game.

As we work to wrap up 1.2 in the coming weeks our goals will be working out bug and balance issues introduced with this patch. The next goal for 1.2 will be to add more "Ambient" civilians in the form of cars/people that litter/populate the cities regardless of their faction and then we will conclude with modernizing the "look" of the ROE tab. Then its the Police Faction and Anarchist time in 1.3 We we will spend 1-2 months (developing 1.3 on experimental) on completely redoing the Factions and deprecating the "Zone" capture circles they use in the experimental "Factions" opt in. The current capture truck method wil be standardized and their AI will know how to properly interact and seek them out

• New Civilian camp wall assets
  
• New Civilian camp assets in general
  
• Fixed Police+Anarchist central spawners always being visible in Diplo tab
  
• Fixed 'destroyed' section being listed before regular faction display in Diplo tab
  
• Fixed timer for structure fire damage continuously running even if damage is not being applied (should finally bury the crash, I hope)
  
• Updated the 'destroyed factions' display to no longer have the 'relationship' meter or 'declare war' button
  
• Updated the 'destroyed factions' category in the Diplomacy widget to be toggleable via button, and to default to be hidden
  
• Updated the 'Declare War' button hovertip to no longer say it cannot be reversed
  
• Updated Civvie gates to automatically open if their main tent gets destroyed (to prevent player from self-trapping units that don't have explosives to destroy said gates)
  
• Updated dynamic civvie factions to be able to go back to friendly with the player if reputation in their zone raises enough (even if you manually declared war on a faction then fled, they'll go back to normal if your rep in that zone raises high enough - if, of course, that faction is capable of peace)
  
• Fixed up some RIOT behavior for agitated civilians
  
• raised the rep limit for Rioting to be possible for regular civvie factions (300 to 400), to make it more likely that riots occur if your rep's dropping
  
• slightly raised the threshold for hostility to be possible to 250 (from 200)
  
• Reduced health for civilian faction gate
  
• fixed up some weirdness with civilian walls, so hopefully infected and other units will behave better around them
  
• TUGS Preview added so you can view the range of other TUGS and where you have built them
  
• Repeater Preview added so you can view the range of other TUGS and where you have built them
  
• Fixed a building at Frontier Pier being incorrectly assigned to Saber Harbor.
  
• Fixed navigation allowing units to walk too deep into water in some cases.
  
• Improved the logic for Auto resolving battles outside of the players influence for Civilian groups that fight each other or the Infected. WIll see more improvements over the next 24 hours
  
• Set up a value 'bHatesCivilians' in Faction Container DAs, to mark certian factions as anti-civvie regardless of current relations
  
• Infected base health lowered from 310 to 200
  
• a16a4 damage increased
  
• Fixed the Operator not having frag grenades anymore
  
• Fixed not being able to use grenades even if your selection consists of only one class of unit (ex: only assaults)
  
• Spas 12 damage increased
  
• Aa12 damage increased
  
• m60 rpm increased from 550 to 600
  
• Neverwinter was buffed all around
  
• Fixed several collision issues w/ Flamethrower damage checks (lined up collision box + FX better,
• Improved collision check to MUCH more closely match the collision box, etc.)
