Xeno Fighters R v0.330 is released


Xeno Fighters v0.330 is released!

This version overhauls the Raiden mk-II with a better algorithm for its Bend Plasma Laser weapon. It now behaves closely to the Raiden IV and Raiden V versions of the weapon. This version also fixes a number of bugs from v0.327.

What's been changed in v0.330:

FIGHTER UPDATES, BALANCE FIXES, AND CHANGES

* Raiden mk-II: After nearly 14 years, the Raiden mk-II Bend Plasma algorithm is updated to a much more accurate and cleaner rendition. It now locks on to enemies properly and ignores locking on to zakos. Algorithm based on the JavaScript example at https://dezyenerasulab.web.fc2.com/htmls/games/stg/

* Raiden mk-II: BOM stat increased from 4(B) to 5(A)

* Viper Phase 1 fighters: BOM stat decreased from 5(A) to 4(B)

* Raiden mk-II Laser weapon (Bend Plasma): Damage changed from 0.29/0.30/0.31/0.32 to 0.32/0.33/0.34/0.35 per laser segment per step. Laser now has a maximum number of lock-ons depending on Laser power level. Lock-on maximums are 2/2/3/4 enemy targets simultaneously

* Raiden mk-II bomber (Thermonuclear Bomb): Raised damage from 11.5 to 15 per frame of overlap

* Viper Phase 1 bomber (Dimension Mine): Lowered damage from 12.5 to 9 per frame of overlapping

* P-38 bomber (1-ton Bomb): Lowered damage from 15 to 12 per frame of overlapping

* X-36 bomber (Mega Smasher): Lowered damage from 18 to 10 per frame of overlapping

BUGFIXES

* BUGFIX: Fixed Path Mode scoreboard entries not showing "ALL" for Path Mode run clears, and instead showing the last stage of the chosen path

* BUGFIX: Path Mode: Choosing "Restart Path" in the Path Mode end menu now properly restarts the current path on its first stage (Stage EX-1 in Echo Path, Stage 1 in all other paths)

* BUGFIX: Stage F-C 2nd midboss Mauve Mokoi: Fixed core charging flash not being destroyed if boss is destroyed before the flash effect disappears

* BUGFIX: Fixed rare bug of Balor's phase 5-1 health completely disappearing and rendering the boss invulnerable

OTHER CHANGES

* Boss Rush Mode: Alpha Set has its own new theme: Learning Curve (Jazz Jackrabbit 3)

* Lowered volume of Amada Vipros' Laser Overdrive shooting sound by 33%
