Small MiBI update today - ability to disable Anarchy unlocks...

winterwalker · 04-21-2010, 08:04 AM

Hi folks,

First of all, we'd like to thank everyone who've bought our game - our free weekend was a huge success, and we welcome all of you new Babonauts!

As a heads up, we've got a quick client update for our game.... this update is specifically to address those folks who may have purchased the S.W.A.T. pack, not realizing that this would reduce the impact of progression in the game... namely, the gradual unlocking of characters, weapons and abilities during our campaign (which many players, myself included, find fun).

For those folks, we've added two new commands:
- disableAnarchy - disables the anarchy unlocks, giving you access to *only* the weapons, characters and abilities that you've earned so far
- enableAnarchy - re-enables the anarchy unlocks - which is super-useful so that you can disable anarchy during campaign play, but re-enable it for versus play, for example. Of course, only those who have purchased the anarchy unlock pack (either independently, or as part of the S.W.A.T. pack) can enable it

To bring up the console where you can type these commands, use the tilde (~) key. Just type the command and hit [Enter]. Press (~) again to remove the console window. *** NOTE - These commands can only be run from the main menu ***

Anyway, hope that helps - and hope to see all you all online!

Paul.
[PS - This update should go live in the next hour or two... just giving y'all the heads up

Yes it does - and displays your rank appropriately... i.e. with Anarchy on, you would be a Babo Legend with the Anarchy symbol. When you disable Anarchy, you might revert down to a Cube (without the Anarchy symbol).

Actually no - you can leave your servers as is. Sorry, should have pointed that out...

I request that you sticky the info on disabling/re-enabling the Anarchy pack. A TON of my friends who bought the SWAT pack have been asking me about it since I disabled it earlier...

Wow. You guys are awesome. Way to respect your community! This seems to be one of the best supported games I've purchased, and I look forward to giving Playbrains more of my business in future! No shoddy console-to-PC port here! It seems you've gone the extra mile to make Madballs play how it should on PC and Mac!

I think I have used my exclamation point quota for the day.

Yes - just had to say thanks for giving us this option. Way to go.
