Trif’s here, and I’d like to say that I like jeb’s beard. And frequent updates. So I stole both. Okay, maybe just one of them.

v124i Alpha of Cobalt is out in the wild, and I want you to download it! “But Trif, where did v124c go?!” I learned that Oxeye had several prototypes waiting to be snatched, so I took the shiniest one! We’ll take a look after staring at this glorious animated picture!

I like trains!

The freshly baked update adds Hadoukens— erm, moving platforms to the game! More specifically, map wizards now have a new spell that allows them to properly add moving stuff. While it can be used to put flying carpets in maps, it serves an even more glorious purpose:

Notice the train in the bottom of the picture? It moves. The newest dark next–gen technology adds more dynamic atmosphere features to the level editor. Make good use of this new weapon, wizards. I’ll be stalking you waiting at the vault.

Gotta go slow

The evil scientists continue their possibly dark experiments with the essence of time itself. Bullet time has been refined once more, no longer trapping you like a Chrono Bomb when a throwable is getting out of your danger zone—unless it is a Chrono Bomb, of course.

Should you be dissatisfied with the default bullet time mechanic, the custom settings have been glorified to suit the entire audience. Other than changing the amount of slowdown, the options now tweak the range of reaction enhancers a little bit, and activation speed a bit more. You’re going to pick the “None” option, of course. Real gladiators experience the world in bullet time naturally anyways.

Freeze! ‘Nade time!

If you’re reading this from the Northern Hemisphere, you have successfully survived the winter—but the danger of freezing to death is not gone, especially not if you hug a Nitrogen Grenade! The newly introduced tool of icy destruction now delivers an even more cold death, exploding on impact with greater power than before. Obviously, it’s for peaceful scientific purposes. …Right, guys?

The developers have given the other explosive devices some love too. Opening doors is lame, kicking them in is cool, but making the door fly open with the sheer impact force of a grenade is even cooler! That’s right, you can now blast open a door with a grenade followed by another one, a rocket, or whatever surprise you have in your arsenal!

Finally, the beautiful little boxes that indicate you’re about to be shot in the face have been made more… discoish. It’s a wonder of colors, and it’s so marvelous you should see it in its full glory. Go in–game and check it out!

• Team selection input repeat error fixed.

We have updated Cobalt to v124! This time we have focused on bugs, tweaks and some content. The biggest and most interesting change has to do with bullet time. Here is why:

The Problem

As you may know, bullet time is a big part of Cobalt. Lately I’ve been feeling that the combat in Cobalt has started to get a slightly too focused on timing defensive moves, while offensive moves are executed haphazardly or without much effect on the end result. Because of this, I’ve been looking for a long time to a way to put timing back into attacks.

Inspiration

The idea to adjust bullet time came from being inspired by the difference between the first rounds of Team-Strike where there were no reaction enhancer, and the later round when there were. I really liked that you in the beginning had to keep an eye on your enemies to see what they were doing, not just stare at your own character and react to threats. These first rounds would be quicker, and more about doing precise timed attacks when the enemy didn’t expect them. The later rounds would be more about reacting to situations and executing well timed defensive moves. However, i did not like the inconsistency. It was hard to explain and it also felt like a contrived way to cater to both playing styles.

The Solution

I decided to change how the reaction enhancer is activated.  Instead of snapping directly to the incoming threats, the reaction enhancer, when detecting a threat, smoothly activates over time, faster for more dangerous items. The maximum slowdown for a threat was also increased. This changed a number of things:

• Bullet time is more predictable and smoother and easier to time correctly  and adapt to.
• It also means that being cool and timing accurate shots against your opponents is more effective than before.
• It also means that keeping enemies at a distance is more important, because you want there to be space between you and your threat to give your reaction enhancer space to activate.
• It also means that when attacking, you might not want to attack right away, but hold off on the first shot until you get a little closer, as to not activate the enemy’s reaction enhancer too early.
• It also means that you don’t get trapped in bullet time as easy by single or few bullets.
• It also means that when bullet time actually starts to really kick in, it can go even slower and allow even more control than before allowing for a far greater range of gameplay.

Let me know what you think!

In other news!

The community map making is really starting to gain some momentum again! In a future update we want to include more maps made from the community but we have not figured out how to do that from a “legal” standpoint yet. In the meantime, head over to http://cobaltvault.no/ and start downloading all the goodies!

Personally I can especially recommend trying out Janeators Challenge Week (Map Pack) v1.0! Good stuff!! (follow for updates)

We have updated Cobalt to v123! Here is the change log!

Also, check out Radio cobalt episode 1! It gives an overview to some of the new things!

Change Log

Alterations:

• Changed brain movement
• Altered horizon rendering to be more epic and less in  your face.
• Added a slight bonus to the jump that you do at the end of a roll to more nicely be able to climb 128 high ramps
• New actor: Boom!
• New actor. Wasp!
• New actor: Fly!
• New actor: Skullfish!
• Walking reduces speed less when above max and rolling up slopes should be less slippery and stopping while fast should be less sudden and more nice!
• Improved reflect so that it more nicely reflects bullets back
• Tweaked the punch origin position which made it feel better both in regards to roll punching and for hitting incoming grenades as well as bullets. It can now rather nicely punch plasma balls as well as slugger bullets if you time it correctly.
• Tweaked the predator AI to attack in bursts with pauses in between to make the combat with them more interesting and predictable.
• Added a skill variable to ai settings on spawners. It controls the general performance of the ai in regards to response times, shooting, rolldodging and much more.
• You can now carry max 3 different types of throwables, similar to ranged weapons.
• Small gameplay improvements to sandy challenge maps
• rolling amount is now directly connected to how much you spin which should make it more clear.
• Improved air roll landing behaviour to be more smooth
• Jump can now be aborted/interrupted mid jump by releasing jump. Jump is also slightly higher. You can also always jump-kick/double jump, running first makes it stronger.
• New Game Mode: TEAM-STRIKE: Round-based team versus. Always 4 on 4, take over bots when you die, economy system and actor selection between each round with different classes and levels!
• Survival very much reworked! Gambling, dynamic shop. waves and an actual end!
• Bots now have a setting for their skill level, also an option to automatically adjust bot skills.
• Spiked mines only detonate on enemies and also blink more aggressively when you approach it.
• removed reloading/switching weapon penalties.
• Completely reworked the combo/scoring system.

• Improved explosion feedback, clearer range of effect.
• Explosives now also stun for a short while at a larger range than their damage. Force/stun from explosions range increased.
• Explosives now has an exponential damage curve instead of binary damage.

To everyone with random engine crashes, make sure you have removed any old openal32.dll in your cobalt folder, and reinstall: Openal

Long time, no see! We have mentioned over the last couple of posts that we are working on the Adventure component of the game. This update will not contain the adventure we built so far since we want to make a good first impression, but it will contain all the improvements, features, tiles, actors and what have you that we have been adding and tweaking for it. So while we have put several months of development into this update, this update does not yet contain the main part of those efforts. The main purpose of this update is:

• Stability and fixing crashes and optimizations.
• First real test of mac support!
• Improvements to editors and lots of new content for mappers including the tile lighting systems!
• Marking the return of more regular updates.

Since this alpha will be the first with Mac / OS X support, please report any problems you encounter specifically on that platform to us!

Change Log

Alterations:

• Adjusted melee attack forces. If damage is done, less counter force is excerted on yourself.
• The first item in each slot are rendered on actors when not in hand.
• Added ninja animations
• Adjusted a bunch of maps.
• Talking to actors! (related to adventure)
• Peaceful actions (related to adventure)
• Relations (related to adventure)
• Compare item stats
• Compare upgrade stats
• If you time the roll to start just when the bullet hits, you will do a reflect instead of a deflect. Reflects are better in the way that they return the bullet to where it came from, and you dont get moved or affected or slowed by the hit.
• Slightly less aimspeed bonus in rolling
• Reworked and tweaked plasma
• Enhanced railgun sounds and effects
• Tweaked railgun bullet speeds closer to the higher ones.
• Improved and streamlined ai with regards to destination logic
• Tile color brush in editor. (press . and ,)
• Certain tiles (among them the light bulbs in editor) now give off tile-corner affecting light.
• Ctrl click a tile to flood fill.
• More placement options to respect already placed tiles, and also to respect the physical layer (press 1 in editor)
• Possible to set grid and angle snap to raycast mode which find the closest wall and sticks to that.
• Glass jar tiles
• New actor: Brain, spawned from metalfaces if the game mode allows it, can fly around with a small jetpack, carry small items
• Items now have a size parameter. Brains can only use items such as matter prototype and slugger cobra, while shrooms and birds and such small actors can use items up to grenade launchers and such but not the largest ones such as rail vanquishers and plasma cannon.
• Beam gun adapted to work with bullet time and slightly modified
• Heat/Cold mechanic changed. It used to work by making your heat restoration become delays on each hit. Now you have a “peak heat” and an “average heat”. Peak heat is what kills you and is what is affected by attacks and fires. Peak heat and average heat move towards each other, and average heat in turn moves towards the environment temperature (map weather). This means that being heated if not fatal will still raise your average temperature for a while, making the peak heat restore slower.
• Shield is now split into 3 different shield belts with lots of upgrades each.
• New Save&Compile, will pre-generate the map previews and save them inside the file. This is also done automatically if save© to menu is used.
• Maps have their previews pre-generated and saved into the file.
• Metalfaces can use the emergency action: Eject their brain upon death! Controllable from the game mode settings (default off for all except adventure) and actor spawn modifiers.
• Checkpoints now work slightly differently. If you have a respawn cell (now called emergency cell), your brain actor will be teleported back to the checkpoint and the metalface will be rebuilt. If you do not have that, you can still walk back and rebuilt yourself for a cost. If you have an ally you can have the ally “rescue” you by purchasing the rescue service at the checkpoint which will teleport and rebuilt your friend. If your brain actor dies, you are dead, except if you have an ally that can carry your brain to a checkpoint and revive it for a cost.
• Improved swimming
• Space theme can now specify a different gravity
• Tweaked slugger weapon fire rate and damage to be between the old and the new.
• If outside of weapon range in the air, and using aim (duck/sneak), you will tweak your aim slightly up and down depending on your movement.

• Improved dance logic and added automatic starting of dance if game detects a bpm to your actions while listening to music from a radio.
• New Item: Sabre Egg.
• Game now has a rather slight falling damage. You can still fall 10 screens without dying, but you will get hurt. Falling 2 screens is fairly harmless.
• Stunning small enemies now only occurs while rolling onto them
• Predator can now bite.
• Buy/Sell Shops (adventure related)
• Buy/Sell information (adventure related)
• Bots pick colors too.
• Ninja has a strong melee attack.
• Space jellyfish now drop healing sparks when they die.
• Power station tiles and power system improved. Now there are two special power stations which each require a special plug. (CTP remains unchanged). Lights, shops, locks, batteries and wire-system sockets can be powered using either a battery, power station or simply by not picking anything. Things are powered by default! Power can also be changed with triggers.
• Doors have an on used action which is called when they are opened.
• All things lockable have an on unlocked action which is called when they are unlocked.
