Okay, sent. You got lucky, there are a few typo fixes in there, so now everybody gets them. Prezo, I only have your hotmail, so I won't bother, it's on the skydrive. Also, I want your opinion on fighters' build speed and shield penetrating power. Is it imbalanced or are fighters worth the cost? EDIT: fixed the crashing if you mouse over the missile tech, that'll make it into next release. Hope you all like the mod. Another thing, DON'T blunder into a pirate base with a ship you like unt
All you guys, I did make one mistake. Structures are mostly invulnerable because of an unanticipated armor type. OOPS! I'll get out an updated version soon that fixes that and impements your first suggestions. If you really want to change it at home, go into the BFG mod directory, open up GameInfo, and in there find these two files: PLANETMODULE_TECHORBITALFRIGATEFACTORY.entity PLANETMODULE_TECHORBITALCAPITALSHIPFACTORY.entity In these files change this: armorType "Very
Guys, do me a favor and tell me if you got my email, because otherwise I'm not sure if my school mail account (the only one that works right) is working properly. EDIT: Just tested it, I think it works. Chang be aware that hotmail flagged my test mail as junk.
No, not all of them. You may find the research tree looks barer than that christmas tree you retroactively declare a shrine to nurgle in February and there's only one of the things left. Also, I had a problem with hotmail's virus scanner, so I sent it again with my school email. Tell me if you got it.
I think it's bug free, but don't don't don't mouse over the missile research. It crashes the game, but I need it so torps and bombers work right. Grr.... Anyway, have fun, but I won't write anything explaining what stuff does till tomorrow. Will post that once it's done. Chang, if I don't mail it to you, PM me with your mail adress. Thanks. Sweet, I just got in a fight, and I can now confirm all ordnance ignores shields. Also, it's rather likely to find itself on the receiving
I know, it's just one thing I hoped to god wasn't hard coded. That makes my life way harder and I don't even really have a witty workaround ready. Thanks for the help.
Crap. That sucks and will make the mod way harder. Now I'm gonna need a conversion chart and may have to compromise some of the design just to make it work.
Yah, I know, I just figured you might like to know the trade is prompt, cause I haven't seen you in a few posts (come to think of it that's like hours) :p. (testing) EDIT: Mah Strings asploded! One second while I figure out why English.str hates me. EDITAGAIN: Well, it's a minidump problem on startup, and the strings are good until you get the error prompt. Wonder what's really causing it?
HOORAY! I'll trade you testing version (serious alpha stuff, I'm using an akkan mesh for the caps, but it'll play mostly right once I'm done) for them. Deal?
I'm working on the BFG mod (shill :CONGRAT: ), and there is a very different number of armor and attack types from vanilla sins. More armor types by the time we get done and fewer attack types. Anyway, for internal code cleanliness reasons and so I know I'm not running into a hardcoded barrier, is it possible to make your own types, and if so, what files do you need to change? I changed the DamageData section of Gameplay.constants and I believe every mention of the old ones that will come up in
Yes, you did tell us you were an aussie. I believe I remembered you complaining about how bad the postage on your fleet was going to be shipping it there, and I agreed wholeheartedly. Don't worry, the second I'm done, I'll PM you a link or see if I can get a mail address for you so you get it right away. Right now, the damage types are kicking my rear.
Okay, I'm starting the damage type work now, should release sometime this afternoon. I just realized that I'll have to give the pirates chaos ships, so that pleasant surprise is in for all you guys. The part of the game I'm most interested in input on is spams that are almost unstoppable (evil spam, I'll try to fix it if it's a spamfest), pacing (very important, I want to know if you're overwhelmed or need a book), general fairness, and of course glitches (I'm testing everything as it goes in, s
I don't know, it's not my job. Hope it's done so I can quickly replace this optical assault with something more aesthetically pleasing. Right now, I've got all the ships done. There are a few annoyances I'll try to sort out, but they're minor issues. First, mitigation displays wrong (I think). It says it's at 15% when all ships have a max of 0%. Maybe there's a base shield mitigation that I have to tweak, or maybe it just doesn't want to display a 0. Secondly, you'll have to build your
aeons, my friend, aeons. The testing version is going well, but keep in mind that it's going to be a gameplay test, not a shiny happy mod quite yet, so I'm still proxying battleships with akkans (best emitter setup) and escorts with whatever fits (I'm using the equivalent firepower in weapons batteries till I get an escort with mulitple emitters). All multi-arc turrets are locked in the most sensible arc. For ranged ships (everything other than the slaughter, I forget where I pointed it
Thank you very much, I keep forgetting about that, if anybody wants to play and tell me what they think once I get the test version up, try to meet me on vent, I'll figure that out once I'm asked. Spartan, we don't really need a room because some of our guys are on phone lines and can't use it anyway, and we'll be able to find space just fine if we need it, and that probably won't be often enough to justify making a room. Nice to see you're still interested in our mod, by the way :CONGRAT:, and
That's what I'm doing, and I think I know where everything goes, but it's nice to be sure. On the modding front, I'm going to try to get all the cruisers done tonight, everything else and release tomorrow (with the approval of prezo, iNert, manuel and the other guys who weigh in). Be warned, they'll all have the same mesh =p and don't even bother researching, because it's neither balanced nor necessarily working. Other than that, there aren't many huge changes to sins, but the ships fit
Thank you spartan, your compliment is appreciated greatly, and hopefully warranted. We will see, but I'm starting to get closer to being ready to give out testing versions that will be very rough, but hopefully still be fun. Plus, you'll have the benefit of getting to play a game with me (just ask nicely, and I'll try to see if I can come up with a time we can test it out. It'll have to be a few weeks from now when I get high speed, but other than that, I'll try to work it out. Hopefully I can g
I'm with chang here, bolters are much more like fully automatic snub-nosed 20mm autocannons... nasty business. Also, even before a space marine puts his armor on, he's got his ribcage which is more of a rib wall of reinforced steel after all the enhancments, heals in a matter of seconds so even a gruesome wound may not be fatal, and for the sheer lulz of it can spit acid in many cases. If anybody knows about it, White Dwarf made a "movie space marine" list that reflects the books and stuff where
I'd go with pure IN. Your fleet is already split up enough as it is, and having another group of ships that want to maneuver so differently will add even more to the confusion. I know how tricky dealing with my dauntlesses can get (keep them out of heavy fire, but close to the main lines where they can keep the rest of my fleet from getting outgunned), and I'm playing a 2000 point fleet, so I've got a lot more room in my fleet for a third section (2040 really, but my opponent's playing my chaos
The carrier bit was only about the Dictator, it's nice to have, but gets toasted pretty quickly, but I have the spare AC to play hard and fast with it. Don't pull your support ships, especially marses and emperors, into the brawl, it just doesn't work. If you really want the solar admiral, grab sharks for your Emperor, they're always fun to have handy, and can open up some holes in the enemy line, and are faster than bombers. What's TAFE? On the mod front, I'm almost done with
Mod's going well, I'm still fussing with the test version to get everything right, and it's going okay. My sprained ankle is finally mostly okay, so my dad's dragging me around to get in a summer's worth of "recreation" jammed in to the remaining time before I get to college (HOLY GOD I ONLY HAVE 3 WEEKS LEFT!), so I'm not able to get in as much work as I'd like. I think Prezo's got some models emitterated, but I'm not sure on that because convertXSI had a cow after we forgot texturing. Prezo, I
I know what lovely ships strike cruisers are, I was planning to reserve one in to my fleet. If I can bring three bc and a pair of THawks to bear against an enemy ship, then a crit is almost guaranteed and a fire arc down is very likely, and then it's the turn of the three dauntlesses it likes to chum with to take it out with their prow lances and lay into something else's unprotected prow/aft with their 12 wbs. Considering that my main opponent likes to carry a large carrier section spraying fir
WRT? What's that? The thing about the overlord is that comparing it to chaos is valid. It has the same role as their ships, and even "fleet flavor" pales when you're trying to explain why the carnage has effectively the same firepower in that role for 55 points less. The torp nose isn't worth that much on a straight gunship, let alone a support ship that isn't going to use it. Also, what are you trying to say the torp nose is for if not for picking up incidental damage while closing and spitball
There is one fundamental problem with Sly's argument (and those of his supporters), which while keeping the vitriol level, and consequently the amusement value high, has been troubling me no end. Let the police worry about the law. Let the companies worry about maximizing income. Nowhere in the stock price is the company's moral index reflected (which would suck for most of them). Nowhere in the profit motive does the morality of theft figure in (which is reflected in
