CMANO v1.09 Release Candidate 1 (Build 735)
Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B205vpZC1pGmU2JHVTQzUkt3VHM/view?usp=sharing
Unzip to your existing CMANO installation folder. (Backup your current Command.exe just in case)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of changes in the way that the program checks for a valid license, if you have not actually installed Command on your current OS (e.g. re-installed the OS after installing Command or copied the entire installation folder from another PC etc.) you may get an "insufficient license" warning when attempting to load a scenario. If this is the case then re-install Command. If the problem persists after a proper installation please contact us immediately through PM/email. Thanks!
Release Notes (changes since v1.08 - B678.18)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Major new features:
--------------------------
* New Lua action: Change the side of a unit
* New Lua action: Explode a warhead.
* New event condition: "Scenario Has Started". Useful for scripting actions that you want to happen only at the very beginning of a scenario (e.g randomizing start positions).
* Includes an updated version of the scenario "The Four Horsemen" with the scen-on-load issue fixed.
* Includes 3 new tutorial scenarios by Mark Gellis (from the "Uncle Mark's Tutorials" series).
* Massive performance increases (as in up to over 10x faster) under certain "heavy" setups such as very complex radar/ECM interactions and thousands of AI-busy units.
* Significant speed improvement in scenarios with numerous underwater biological entities (whales, fish etc.)
* New map feature: Placenames (countries, major cities and major geographical elements). It can be enabled/disabled through the "Game Options" window and is persisted like other map visibility options.
* New map feature: You can select to display either all detected contact emissions or only the ones associated with weapon fire control (helps reduce clutter when displaying emissions from all contacts)
* New major weapon feature: Nuclear detonations now produce a broadband EMP wave.
a) Effects radius & intensity: The radius is independent of yield and hinges mostly on LOS and whether the detonation is within the atmosphere, in the stratosphere or in near/outer space.
* In the atmosphere: The radiation is absorbed quite heavily by the atmosphere and intensity falls linearly with distance. Maximum range is a bit longer than maximum blast range.
* In the stratosphere: Part of the energy escapes to space while another part is trapped on the troposphere upper layer, forming an "EMP blanket". Absorption is much less severe so the max range is much larger.
* Near/outer space: All the energy headed towards earth is refracted through the atmosphere and forms a very intense EMP blanket of near-uniform intensity. Max effects range can be as far as 1500nm from ground zero with high intensity. (This is why most EMP-attack scenarios in the Cold War assumed this profile. See also "GoldenEye").
b) System effects: As currently implemented only platform sensors are vulnerable to damage.
Factors affecting damage probability:
* Pulse intensity - see above.
* Operating status: Sensors that are turned off can be affected but much less likely
* Tech generation: Early 60s and earlier (vacuum tubes) are the most resistant, late 60s (first transistors and solid states) are more vulnerable, late 70s (VLSI) more so, and from late 80s (COTS) onwards it's a party.
