Surprise, commanders! We interrupt our regular [b]NORTHAG[/b] broadcasts for a double [b]Reinforcement Pack #2[/b] and [b]WARNO[/b] major patch update “whammy,” backed up with a significant upgrade to the [b]Map Editor[/b]. All are available to download [b]for free[/b] today! And yes, this includes a fix to a rather persistent little… [i]sound bug[/i]. [i]Huzzah![/i] [b][h2]Major Patch Update[/h2][/b] It’s been a long time coming, but we have released today a major patch for [b]WARNO[/b], bringing not only a host of improvements and balance changes but also a long-awaited fix to the infamous sound bug (everyone go [i]boooo![/i]). The main takeaway is that now, every unit has a sound radius, being larger or smaller depending on the unit type. You can only hear this when you have a unit of your own within this radius.

We have previewed this map in a previous DevBlog, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1611600/view/4656249009455099433?l=english]which you can read about here[/url].

[list][*]From now on, it is possible to [b]integrate new 3D models ingame through mods[/b]. Unlike [i]Steel Divison 2[/i], mesh export isn't done via 3DS Max but via Blender, which is a free tool, thus much more accessible. The modding manual has been updated, among other things with instruction on how to import various asset types, including meshes.[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41657262/5c092596b651dad74cd4e2625eeacbc36053580e.png[/img] [list][*]We have also reached a major step with the map editor: it already allowed to create new variants or skirmish scenarios from existing maps ; now it allows to [b]create and export brand new maps using all of WARNO's LevelBuild assets[/b]. [*]Once a new map has been created, it is possible to create new scenarios in order to play tactical games on it, be it in skirmish, multiplayer or as a tactical battle launched through an Army General campaign.[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41657262/116a924989c7db54541931768f0c833df0ff7856.png[/img] [list][*]The "how_to_make_a_map" & "how_to_make_a_scenario" PDF manuals are available in the Tools/ folder of the game, containing more instructions. [*]Moreover, in order to ease mods' installation, two mod tags have been added to the Steam Workshop: [i]”Scenario”[/i] and [i]”Maps[/i]”. This will allow you to filter easily mods while adding scenarios or maps. If players have already uploaded a mod with scenarios, they will have to upload it again after this patch to get the proper tag.[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41657262/849768be5ba866b01f8b022d6afa436ea58af9bc.png[/img] [b][h2]Until Next Time[/h2][/b] Tune in tomorrow as we’ll get back to our regular [b]NORTHAG[/b] [b]Division[/b] previews with a preview of Pact's [b]Grupa Desantowa[/b].
