NIGHTCELL 7 v0.2.0
NIGHTCELL 7 v0.2.0
New
- M9 Hammerfall rocket launcher. It's the first weapon that isn't hitscan. One rocket in the tube and five in reserve, with a 3.4 s reload. A direct hit does 65, on top of a blast that does 130 at the centre and reaches 7.5 m. The server works out the rocket's flight, like every other shot. It costs 800 credits in the armory on the deploy gate. You start with 1,000 and earn 100 per kill. (#63)
- Original 3D art for the launcher (3,044 tris) and its rocket (1,612 tris). (#63)
Fixed
- Teams are always two different colours. Before this, every fighter on both teams rendered the same blue. The colour you pick on the deploy gate now shows in the yard, and the enemy always wears whichever colour is furthest from yours. (#62)
- The desktop app has a taskbar icon. The window now sets its own icon, and the Linux
.desktopentry matches the window's real class,@nightcell7/desktop. Checked by running the packaged.debunder Xvfb and reading the window's_NET_WM_ICON. (#64, #65, #67) - The favicon, logo and app icon are now all generated from
icon.svg. (#65)
Downloads
macOS (.dmg, .zip: Apple silicon and Intel), Windows (.exe), and Linux (.AppImage, .deb, .rpm: x64 and arm64). Check downloads against SHA256SUMS.txt. You can also install with curl -fsSL https://nightcell7.com/install.sh | sh.
Known issue
The .deb doesn't declare ALSA as a dependency. On a machine without libasound2, run sudo apt install libasound2t64 (or libasound2) first. Desktop installs almost always have it already.
