Run updater to get new graphics file (updated reloaded001.zip file).

The most important change is about followers. This change was going to happen with wipe, but seeing constant PvE in PvP madness I decided to make it now. After wipe, mercenaries will be allowed to attack players. Not now because I'm aware of the fact that some players have enough funds (from bank interest and other things and exploits that were fixed in the past) to spam mercenaries PvP.
For PvE followers work exactly in the same way as before.


Fixes 22/04/2014
- H&K CAWS burst changed to 5, max capacity to 15,

- Sneak penalty should be calculated properly for NCR, Enclave, Desert Combat Armors and Bridgekeeper's Robe,
- TB-only warning removed when approaching "new" encounter.

Followers, mercenaries and slaves will not attack the enemy, even if they were left to defend your base?

[Corax]

- Added Gecko's Breath shotgun shells, available at traders,

Wait, What???

- Followers (companions, slaves and mercenaries) will not attack players, even if attacked by them,

I have mixed feelings about that. But still it is better than what was before.


Thanks for the Nice Update

[FireBoy]

[Gunrunner]

Yaaaaaa! Super work Kilgore, now let's see how russian will do!

That was a bit rude. And I can't remember too many russians to be using follower's help. So keep your mouth shut.

I've yet to see a base robbery prevented by usage of followers, as I doubt it ever happened.
Later followers will be allowed to attack players in private locations like bases/tents, for now it's just a quick fix that didn't demand much testing.

While I mostly support companions not attacking players in PvP situations, I do not agree the companions to not be able to attack base invaders. Makes the order "protect my home" useless.

+1

- Followers (companions, slaves and mercenaries) will not attack players, even if attacked by them,

Now companions are useless, what about Good Natured ?  Kilgore you change trait for characters with GN ?

[MacReady]

I got a plan to put a line of 20 campanions with gatlings in one line and behind them a 2 lines of laser fifles of campanion u resp and ur not from my fraction u die  before your screen goes from black to normal but i gees i will do it after resetm shiut man let us know faster next time about big change like this please like a post with (probably things we gonna change next week or so ) thx for info

[Kilgore]

All was mentioned before so I doubt that anyone is surprised. Those who used followers in PvP were warned many times that there will be a nerf to followers in PvP, yet they continued to use them on mass scale.
 Only today I've witnessed few players from a known team registering like 50 new characters with merc commander builds, inside a base with about 100 companions ready to use in PvP.

Now companions are useless in PvP,

Here, I fixed your post for you.

[Mona]

Yay, update even better it's on my bday

Calm down people, i don't like it either that my followers are useless now, but realize it's a quick fix to ban them from tc. They will be able to protect our homes again later.

Later followers will be allowed to attack players in private locations like bases/tents, for now it's just a quick fix that didn't demand much testing.
