how is the new year progress going

oh yeah, there is a lot of mention of naked pathfinder so I imagine that's what it is.

GFxTrUI_ClassMenu is also worth looking at too I think.

GFxTrPage_Equip.uc may be a good place to start looking for how to remove weapons? I guess all that has to be done is remove the option for particular weapons when selecting the loadout. The file has some stuff about gold/xp so it may be possible to remove requirements for weapons. Unfortunately I have no experience in this type of coding, but I've been trying to look for clues in the files.

Another thing to consider at some point would be creating a basic default loadout similar to T2. Then generators actually matter and you can't instantly spawn into your class, it was one thing I hated about T:A that I think removed a lot of depth of gameplay.

I worked on a starting place for weapon damage. It is based on a table I found dated September 25th, 2012 and I worked through the patch notes to revert values to just prior to the megapatch.

About: The first table is the reverted data and the second is the original source data. The yellow cells indicate a change has been made. The red cells indicate weapons that were introduced post megapatch though I'm probably missing some of those. The one grey cell indicates that a value was changed but gave no information on how to revert it. It's also possible that data I had to start with was not 100% accurate or I made some mistake along the way. The original data didn't have anything on grenades or deployables like mines.

I figure this is one of the first things we need to iron down to bring the game back to its former glory.. so any help or corrections would be welcome.

I assume we will be removing post patch weapons to start if possible?

I guess it would be possible to take a later chart and use the percentages in the patch notes to reverse back to approximately the original values

When was the megapatch? This was on the tribes reddit.
