Upcoming patch for UAW!

Posted by Banshee on April 26, 2008

Delphi-PG has recently announced some of the changes that will make into the next patch, which is being called 360/PC Interop Patch. The patch should improve many multiplayer aspects of the game, add some new features, fix a myriad of bugs and ballance some units.

The main feature is that it implements interoperable cross-play between Xbox and PC players in Ranked, Quickmatch and Conquer the World modes. Some other new features include a patrol mode with hotkeys, research enabled on single player campaign and more. Units like Constructor (Novus), Founder (Novus), Mirabel (Novus), Amplifier (Novus), Field Inverter (Novus), Ohm (Novus), Corruptor (Novus), Kamal (Hierarchy), Nufai (Hierarchy), Saucer (Hierarchy), Charos (Masari), Zessus (Massari), Alatea (Massari) and Disciple (Massari) received a little boost, while Vertigo (Novus), Hacker (Novus), Defiler (Hierarchy) and few others were nerfed. The population cap of some Hierarchy units was increased.

Another neat feature of this patch is the multi-thread support which will provide a considerable speed improvements for those with multi-core processors.

The list is located at this topic. According to Delphi, the list is not final, but it should give an interesting idea of what is about to come.

Some Love From PC Gameplay

Posted by Phoenix Rising on March 31, 2008

For those of you living in Belgium or Holland, you might have already had the opportunity to read about Phoenix Rising in your local gaming periodical, but for those of us not so fortunate, here's a recap. PC Gameplay, a Dutch-language magazine circulated throughout the Low Countries, featured us rather prominently in their mods section for the March 2008 issue. From what I can garner, the review was quite positive, even going so far as to compare us to an official product. I'm, of course, both flattered and thrilled that so many people are enjoying the hard, often uncompromising effort that was put into Space.

But the truth of the matter is that this mention was no random coincidence. Getting an article published for us was wholly the enterprise of our very own Theempirewins. Many thanks to Peter for taking it upon himself to do this for us out of no prompting of my own and also PC Gameplay for sending it to the presses! May it be the first of many such mentions for PR.

Phoenix Rising on PC Gameplay magazine (dutch)

Posted by Banshee on March 15, 2008

The current edition of PC Gameplay magazine from Belgium and Netherlands features two pages about modifications and, in one of them, it features a short article about Phoenix Rising. Thanks to Blaat85 for spotting this one and providing a scan:






Here's a quick translation written by Mike.nl:




The current edition of PC Gameplay also includes a big article on red Alert 3 and many other interesting games. If it is available in your area, it is worth checking it out!

The latest tutorials at Petrolution!

Posted by Banshee on March 9, 2008

Hello everyone! It's been about two weeks since we relaunched Petrolution with the new articles system. One lovely thing from this articles system is how easy it is to publish new articles. You share your knowledge, help new and advanced modders to learn new tricks, get recognized by your knowledge and you can end being spotted in the frontpage once in a while, because I'll be picking and spotting the coolest tutorials shared here in the news.

So far we have 9 tutorials, which is a good number for a start, although we must be realistic to know that only 5 were submitted by the visitors of the site and only 4 of them are really new.


Today, we are going to spotlight one of the tutorias from Dr. Nick with his Basic Skin Tutorial. While this tutorial already presumes that you made a Confederacy Trifighter and doesn't provide you the model to practice, it shows some interesting tricks to skin this unit. In the end, your skin can look like this, which is quite detailed:





And there are other interesting tutorials to take a look at:


-> Creating an Icon, from Drieick. It shows how to create an icon, convert it to DDS and pack it with Mike.nl's MTD Editor.
-> Death Clone Tutorial, from Dr. Nick. It shows how to make a death clone with timed explosions. Mainly focusing on the animation part, on 3ds max.
-> Making use of sound effects, from Drieick. It shows and explains the tags related to sound effects, with a quick example in the end.



And finally, Drieick has updated his excellent tutorial that Explains how AI works on EAW/FoC, some days ago. It is so far our top rated tutorial and really worth to check it out, if you wanna play with the AI ingame.


And that's it for now. Wanna be spotted in the next news and help the modding community for Petroglyph games to grow? Share your tutorials with us and make a lot of modders happier around the world.

OS BIG Editor 0.58: An Unofficial Release

Posted by Banshee on March 5, 2008

Hey everyone! With this patch 2, Universe at War modders started to explore all the potential of the new Alamo engine. Some of them already have some beta mod tools from Petroglyph for the game, while others are bravely exploring of the XML files that came with the game. And of course, with modding being finally practiced, a doubt has started to surround many of the new modders out there:


-> How do I save .meg files?


Honestly, Final BIG saves them, although you may not need .meg files to run mods with custom XML, shader and lua files, but they may make mods look more organized. Anyway, here at Petrolution, we are offering an open source alternative, which I've been working on for some time already.



Likewise Final BIG, OS BIG Editor also started as a tool for Command & Conquer games, but two months ago, it also gained support for the .meg files used on Petroglyph's games. The program might still be a work in progress, but it's already shaping into a good alternative. It has a cooler interface, more intuitive ways to extract, add and manage files and a binary viewer for the files as well, as most of Final BIG's features, except for stuff like DDS preview.







And as I said, this is a work in progress. There are some things that need to be fixed on it, specially the options. Anyway, any constructive criticism and feedback about this program will be appreciated. And happy modding!

Universe At War Patch 2 has been released!

Posted by Banshee on March 3, 2008

After a long wait and many obstacles, Petroglyph has finally been able to release the second patch for Universe at War. The patch doesn't simply fix bugs or ballances the game. It goes beyond that. With the camera zoom increased and directx 10 support improved, the graphics are more attractive, but the best thing is that this finally enables modding. The modding tools weren't released yet, but now you can already edit the xml files that comes with the game and play with it. We'll get deeper into that soon. For now, one of our resident modding experts, Kelathin, has written a nice review with all his experience on this new patch. Check it out!

Petrolution Version II Official Launch!

Posted by Duke on February 26, 2008

Greetings all.

Today is a proud day in the history of Petrolution. The old tattered, coffee stained page that was Petrolution has been carefully torn out and laid to rest under an Oak tree overlooking the sea. In it's place, a new page is being written. Brand New, ready to be filled with activity and content that is exciting, informative and useful. A new day has dawned my friends, and the horizon is looking gorgeous!

Just over two years ago Petrolution was launched originally. Over it's time it's been a steady rock in the community providing resources to the people it served. Today, we're ready to transform Petrolution into a Petroglyph Modding Resource Hub!!.

Live From San Francisco

Posted by Phoenix Rising on February 19, 2008

Armed with Phoenix Rising-themed business cards and CDs of the latest release, I'm currently in San Francisco for the Game Developers Conference, a veritable who's who of industry professionals. While I search for someone willing to pay me to do what I love, check out these hot, fan-made topics in the forums:

Zarkis' work in exploring the AI has already led to a number of fixes and improvements that will make the v1.1 patch, and now he has released his own take on the AI. The Zarkis AI strives to address some of the deficiencies in the Galactic Conquest-mode AI from a production standpoint, so if you just can't wait for the patch, be sure to check this out.

If you're looking for more flash in your tactical experience, look no further than Dal MP's Aesthetics Pack. This pack focuses on making the turbolaser bolts look and feel better and also has an added side-effect of improving performance, so there's really no reason not to try it.

Last but not least, Dane Kiet is organizing a multiplayer Skirmish tournament, which is the perfect opportunity to check out multiplayer on PR if you haven't yet done so. This is especially true for those of you having issues with the AI - you'll be in for a few surprises against a live opponent. The tournament comes in 1 vs. 1 and 2 vs. 2 flavors and will commence as soon as there are enough players, so sign up today!

An amazing tutorial of EAW's AI, by Drieick.

Posted by Banshee on February 18, 2008

Drieick has recently posted an impressive tutorial explaining how to play with the AI XML files that triggers .lua scripts from Empire at War. The tutorials explains the variables, categories, expressions, functions, and much more... and it features some examples in the very end. Here's a snippet:





And this is just the beggining. You can read the whole tutorial HERE and discuss it. Thanks a lot, Drieick. If anyone is interested on providing tutorials, post it on our modding forums or wait the new site goes live (which we recommend, since it will include a nice articles/tutorials system).

G4 X-Play Universe at War Review

Posted by Brad on January 30, 2008

I dunno if anyone else has heard of this site before, because I certainly hadn't, but by the looks of it, it's some big cable gaming TV station in the States.

Not being in the States myself, after several minutes waiting for their video review to load, I was pretty impressed by it. See what you think for yourself...

Clicky

Having seen that, it also delights me to inform you that in fact there will be a patch to deal with the camera zoom! It'll be zooming out by an additional 22%, which you can read more about on the Petroglyph Community forums at this topic.

What's Next

Posted by Phoenix Rising on January 27, 2008

First off, I want to thank our fans for the response to the release. It's been fantastic!

To those disenchanted by the bugs, don't write us off yet. Realize that the reason for doing a public beta is actually to identify the bugs for the development team so that we can fix them. We don't have formal in-house testers, so it's up to you all to fill this role. So far, the people on the forums have been great in doing this. Their good work has resulted in a number of hotfixes that you can apply to your copy of the mod to address some of the issues before we release a comprehensive patch. Those fixes can be found scattered around the forums, but most of them have been compiled here. Just be cautious when making these changes, as they will prevent you from playing multiplayer.

Now that we've reached our major milestone with the version 1.0 release of Space, what's next for the mod? My goal right now is to get space combat working to perfection - or at least as close as can be attained through modding - which will eventually culminate in a version 1.1. The long-term goal is to have our vision of land combat done by version 2.0, but that is realistically still a long ways off.

In the short time span since the release, I've already made a great deal of changes to address various bugs and balance issues that have cropped up. I'll attempt to detail the most important of those changes:

A lot of people have commented that the galaxy map is too crowded. I was actually aware of this before the release, but because of our timeline, did not want to attempt such a massive undertaking on short notice. I had set the scale last summer, but without knowing which planets I would need for the campaigns, it was just a best guess. Since Thrawn's campaign had never been presented in a topographic format before, I wasn't readily aware that most of the flashpoints actually occurred in just a handful of sectors. Now we know and can better accommodate.

The rescaling is done, but that wasn't the major issue with it. The biggest problem is making sure that all planets are still connected to each other at the increased distance, which I'm still working on. I had decided that connectivity was more important than scale for the release, but now that I have more time, we can eventually have both.

I believe we've solved the crashes involving bombing runs. See the forums for details. This is only one source of the exceptions, so keep reporting bugs and we will find the others!

This is important. All turbolaser and turboion weapons have had their damage and range increased by half. The problem was that I had used the RPGs to judge relative damage, but RPGs operate on a six-second round or something similarly synchronized, so it seems their damage had been adjusted for time. Well, in real-time, lasers can fire about every two seconds and turbolasers every three, as it is in the mod. To account for this, I've increased the damage (and thus the range) so that turbolasers are three times as powerful as a comparable laser, but since they're slower to fire, they effectively output twice the damage. As it was, they were doing four-thirds the damage output, which felt weak to me. Prepare to lose some frigates if you're not careful!

Line of sight has been changed to being class-based opposed to armament-based. If the range of your guns exceeds your line of sight, you will require spotters to fire at the maximum distance.

All ships transport size or larger have been given a damage control ability. This allows them to make slow repairs to hull damage at approximately one-tenth of their shield refresh rate. It is not a replacement for dedicated repair craft, however.

The BTL K-wing has been given a fresh conversion thanks to the new version of Starships of the Galaxy, which is actually the first source to give it detailed stats. I've also taken the opportunity to redo its upgrade branch. I had actually gotten the K-wing close on pure speculation, but a few aspects have changed. Speed, acceleration, maneuverability, hyperdrive, and shielding remain the same on the base model, while hull increases modestly. The main differences are to payload. It now features a total of 18 proton torpedoes and 6 plasma torpedoes, spread out three to a launcher instead of being directly affixed to a hardpoint. On top of that, 4 concussion missiles are added on the first upgrade. To compensate, the double laser turret has been downgraded to light, which effectively makes it a turreted version of the Y-wing's laser cannons. So it trades some of its fighter defense for roughly double the warhead capacity of the released version. The cost has also been increased accordingly.

The Modular Taskforce Cruiser has also gotten a new conversion (and upgrade branch), this time from WEG sourcebooks. Intended as a non-combat vessel, it loses much of its shielding and hull from where it was, but I've also given it a built-in system spy ability to simulate some of the other modules, such as the Observation Module. Build cost for the MTC has been decreased to compensate for its loss of durability.

Due to some sort of confusion on Wookieepedia, it turns out that the ATR Assault Transport doesn't actually have laser cannons at all, so I've removed them. The ion cannons remain, but I've switched them to light turboion cannons, thus stripping it of all starfighter-scale weaponry. Make sure you escort these in the future.

The IPV has switched roles. All of its turbolasers have been replaced with laser cannons and the capacity of its launcher has been increased to 24 missiles, but otherwise the upgrades remain the same. Sources lean towards its guns being "boosted laser cannons" instead of actual capital-scale turbolasers, which is more in-line with its mission profile as a counter-smuggler ship.

I've added the YV-666 Light Freighter as a neutral transport. I went with the 62 m Fact File length of Hound's Tooth to allow it to fill a role as a heavy freighter-transport for CEC, despite the remaining canonical designation. You can read about it (and the rest of the changed ships) in the Units section.

Speaking of freighters, I found out that I had overpowered their income generation ability such that they were capable of producing more revenue fully upgraded per planet than mines in terms of population and structure slots respectively. This had never been my intent, so I've halved the extent of their income upgrades. Fully upgraded freighters now produce 250 credits/week instead of 400. In Skirmish, however, they produce slightly more than the previous levels. Meanwhile, mineral extractors generate less.

Golan platforms in Skirmish are now "reinforced" with double shielding and hull since all other ships are at full upgrade status. I may also improve their armament; I haven't decided yet.

The AI now builds more balanced fleets in Skirmish, in addition to better selecting targets to attack. For one, less battlecruisers are being built and the star dreadnoughts have been removed from the AI's building options completely, such as to avoid the massive build delays. AI players will also upgrade their Golan base quicker than before.

Finally, the AI has been disallowed from scouting with its starfighters. Fighters, bombers, and transports will now actively dogfight and engage your ships, so be prepared. Also, the AI should be smarter about hiding freighters/non-combat ships, escorting capital ships, and exploiting lowered shields in tactical combat.

Changes are occurring all the time, so keep reporting those bugs for us!

Challenge the devs, this thursday!

Do you own Universe at War? If you do and you have some free time tomorrow, from 6:00pm PST on? Then, on that time, open UAW, get online and try to get a custom match with one of the dangerous creatures below:


driph (driph!)
Virtualted (Ted Morris!)
scc silver (Steve Copeland!)
and Euryidium (Chris Rubyor!)


You know these mutated humans from "I am Legend" movie? Likewise them, the creatures above attack in the night (from 6:00 PM PST). However, the mutants there are more like 'little ants' compared to the evil and dangerous monsters mentioned above. If you kick their asses, Petroglyph may (or not) compensate you with unknown prizes. Maybe you'll be better paid than what the USA govern would pay if you found Osama Bin Laden.

We've also received a picture from one of them. It is veeeeery scary! Look:





Good luck and I hope these creatures do not consume you in the next night. Ahhh, I almost forgot: have fun!

Petrolution, the future thereof

Posted by Duke on January 14, 2008

Hey everyone!

I'm Juggernaut2008 and i've taken over here as Petrolution division leader. Petrolution has been somewhat lacking in aliveness for the past age. I propose to change that. Get ready for a whole lot of changes to the Petrolution website and forum as we bring about a whole new direction and expand on the purpose Petrolution was created in the first place. Stay tuned

In Universe at War news we finally have a release date for the United Kingdom! SEGA has confirmed their 2008 Q1 release schedule and UAW is listed as 25th January. That seems to be the same date for a large proportion of Europe also.

So if you're in the UK and havent pre-ordered. Do so now!!
