Valiant is the natural "Evolution" of Gauntlet as in a lot of stuff could be done
better in gauntlet coding and performance wise in the back-end and instead of
just rehashing and doing stuff to Gauntlet code i decided to just start fresh.
This resulted in a back-end that is in 90% of the cases hassle free to port to a
map as it doesn't rely on preplaced markers etc for missions spawns as it now uses
functions to find different areas etc.
Hopefully this "start from scratch" approach has worked out some
of the quirks Gauntlet had.
It also is alot more modular in terms of settings when you start the mission,
arsenal, spectator etc. are all definable in mission params in the role select lobby.
Okay... cool, so is there anything new ?
Yes! Theres is now side missions running alongside the main missions, there is emplacements
of various kinds(in this alpha it will only be running AAA emplacements).
And im also looking into some other stuff that is still TBA.
Sweet so what should I do ?
I'm stress testing the mission for 2X players this coming date: 13-11-2015 @ 1900GMT
and I need you to put you'r name in this FORM
The first 2X players that sign up is going to get to play and will be briefed about
different aspects before we step off
I hope to see a good turnout for this small stress test of Valiant.
I managed to make quite a bit of headway today, more than I thought I would be able to anyway!

A note for Ahoy+ subscribers with active subscriptions, when your subscription expires it will most likely remove the Donator forum group from you (TS unaffected) and you will need to let a core staff member know so we can reapply it. This is unfortunately out of our control due to the old Ahoy+ setup as this is all automated.
