						I was delving into the new base.rte files and came across scripts for rain and snow. I haven't encountered them in game yet, but even if they're just there to utilize, that's awesome

						They all have one weapon and a digger. It's likely that they're either losing their weapons or deciding to use the diggers for some reason.

						Just ran into another little thing that now probably has a differant name: Grasslands. That will be all for now. Coa revolvercannon also missing.

						I think I am hallucinating, but when I crashed my rocket directly next to my brain bot, sending it into the air spinning, the legs actually rotated with the body. [I later tested this in massacre, and the FBM Computer]
  I am pretty much at ease with the world now that the legs work more properly. [Oh and if you play on the 'One Man Army' scenario, grab onto a wall, jetpack a little higher, repeat, it works]

						What's changed in B24?Way too little. When was B23 released? Around 2 years ago? I bet Data's been having fun drinking Mai Tais and Piña coladas in Hawaii for the past years.

						Does this mean we don't get the Campaign until b25? So around next summer i'm guessing? I predict mods will start featuring light actors and items for the jetpacks to become useful again.

I think he actually meant BurstSize in Pyro.ini Also to get Maginot Mission back (the only one i still find fun to play) in Mission Activities.ini add Code: AddActivity = GAScripted    PresetName = Maginot Defence    SceneName = Maginot Mission    ScriptFile = Missions.rte/Scenes/Scripts/Maginot.lua    InCampaignStage = 1    LuaClassName = MaginotMission    CPUTeam = 1    Team1Name = Players    Team2Name = Zombies
  Feels more like a B23.1...

						All in all, I've liked most of the changes. I miss the Manigot Mission and the proper Dummy Assualt, but I'm lovin' the new maps! The jetpacks don't seem to be that different, apart from the lack of tapping for super-boost, and I think it makes things a little nicer. No longer can one go into battle as a Brown-Coat Heavy wielding a nailer cannon, a rocket launcher, a sniper rifle, a heavy digger and three impulse grenades! Materials being harder makes things a good deal better, as at least now you can get a little purchase on sand, and even heavy diggers have some trouble with the hardest substances now. The Activities are a good idea, and should make for me fun multi-playering. However, I've spotted a slight discrepancy with the difficulty settings: the Nuts! setting(not Nuts, Nuts!) in scenarios like one-man-army and survival doesn't set the time to ten minutes as stated, but a mere 100 seconds! Also, yeah the AI needs building up a little, as it gets a bit boring shooting their heads off while they stand around treading on one anothers toes...

						I notice one difference with the physics. When an Ahuman gets knocked back far by say... a non lethal craft hit that doesn't lose any limbs, the legs will stay in the same position as it did when rotating, and the legs rotate with it too, rather than just the torso rotating.

						1.) Select Scenario Battle 2.) Select Skirmish Defence 3.) Begin! 4.) ???? 5.) Profit!
  (methinks this game type is borked, Data)
 
  ALSO:
  1.) Select Kepeie-Uppie 2.) Begin mission 3.) Before ordering rocket, attempt to open pie menu. 4.) ???? 5.) Profit!
 
  All in all, I do like the update though.

Can someone verify that there have been engine changes?

						Coops made a gif in the Epic Moments thread which shows it pretty clearly. I'm not sure if it'll affect much apart from diving off cliffs, though.
