Revenge Of The Cats: Ethernet is a fast-paced multiplayer FPS with strong emphasis on individual player skill.Maps in ROTC: Ethernet are divided into rectangular zones and two teams fight over control of these zones.Players can switch at will between two different forms: The flying, indestructible \"Etherform\" and a humanoid, weapon-wielding physical manifestation called a \"CAT\".Players start out in Etherform and need to find a zone owned by their team in order to manifest as a CAT. As CAT, players take zones for their team simply by being inside the zone while no enemy CAT is also present in the zone. The zone then turns red or blue, depending on which team captured it. If CATs of both teams are present, the zone remains white.The game is won if the opposing team has lost all their zones and has no more players manifested as CAT. * Things that are fairly unique about the game: Players can\'t \"die\". If a player loses all his health, he is simply forced back into Etherform. * Dealing damage to enemies increases/restores a player\'s health. * Players can fire and deflect target-seeking discs that bear an eerie resemblance to the discs in the movie TRON ;) * All weapons draw from the player\'s regenerating energy. The energy consumed when firing a shot is restored when the shot hits an enemy. * The same energy also serves as the player\'s armour, which means that firing your weapons without hitting an enemy makes you more vulnerable to damage. * Players can ride their \"Etherboard\" to trade agility for speed.What\'s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]· Replaced HTML manual with server-driven in-game online help and README, NEWS, AUTHORS and COPYING files.· Changes to Ethernet zone mechanics: CATs can only capture zones adjacent to their own zones, but can enter any enemy zone to prevent the enemy from manifesting there.· Unlimited etherboarding.· Higher maximum speed for CATs.· No more weapon sets: CATs carry both MG and Sniper ROFL.· Reduced MG splash damage radius from 3 to 2 and removed influence of player trajectory on MG projectile trajectory.· Reduced Sniper ROFL damage & armor cost.· The \"Controls\" dialog now allows rebinding almost every control and should finally work properly (keep your fingers crossed).· Early version of dynamic in-game music.· More player statistics.· More useful minimap.· Color of sniper projectile trail now shows if the shot hit.· Revert to simpler (uglier and faster) zone rendering for now.· Zones now flash when they change color.· The sky now changes color to show which team has more health in a disputed zone.· Reverted to always equipping the Trident when manifesting as CAT.· Changed sound effects for manifesting, grenade explosion, sniper firing and sniper & MG projectile explosion.· Reverted to default Torque Game Engine server query protocol.
