Internal Errors.

Recommended Posts

Sorry to report. This mod has some internal errors that I've come across.

 

1. SOL. Internal error on submergance and inebriation. Occurs whenever I fire it at the schizogen construction yard. I was playing against genesis.

 

2. Randomly. Internal error on inebriation. Genesis vs. Genesis. No reason I can identify.

 

Sorry. :(

 

This is a fun mod, I'm looking forward to the next release.

Nice to know that things are being fixed. I think that this mod can be the Mental Omega of total conversions. :D Too bad I don't have any clue what you're currently doing with the mod.

 

Um, that fix doesn't change the SOL error.

It internal errored when I did have it on. Might have been a problem on inebriation only. I had to transfer to another computer and forgot the bug fix.

 

About beta testing, that's something I'd love to do. One problem.

I don't have much time to play during school days. Can't play during the week.

I'm also playing Generals at the moment. That could take a while to wrap up. I only just decided to tolerate it on this computer. 'Tis slow.

Ahh.. well it still should be fixed in the version I currently hold. I'll have to find out what map inebriation is. (If it isn't a part of AR2, I can't help you.) We are starting the map list from scratch and will slowly rebuild it as I finish revamping and creating new maps.

 

Giving you the beta is to give you a sneak peek. I'm not requiring you to beta test like mad. I just want you to play it for fun and to let us know what you think about it. Granted it still may be a little while, but I don't mind giving you a look. Thanks again for the report :)

I was just letting you know about my ability to beta test. It should still be fun.

By the way, I have put the bug fix in on this computer and everything is working fine now. Haven't yet checked inebriation. Yes it is an AR2 map.

Yes, but this mod will also soon have very tough competition with Mig's mod, D-Day.

The only IE that could still be lurking would be on inebriation. I still haven't checked. Too much fun with generals. :D

 

Spikey, I've little or no interest in a WWII TC for yuri's revenge. I'm more into the futuristic mods.

Hey, when D-Day comes out I'll want to play it. We're not competing with anyone.. V7 and I took over AR2 because we enjoy it. We wouldn't care if we were the only 2 on the planet who play ar2. We'd still continue making it even if it was the most unpopular mod on the planet. :P

Now THAT is what I like to hear. :D If I get info on what's currently being worked on, I might be able to provide ideas for it.

 

For some reason, I think an ultra advanced battlegear (genesis infantry) would be an appropriate hero. Just a thought.

Of course, Nemesis would need one too. :P Or not, as the case may be.

AR2=unique sides, not balanced perfectly.

yo i was never a fan of WWII mods, its too boring, i mean even Blitzkrieg i dont like. i definatly prefer the science fiction style mods.

 

i got a suggestion: change the building damage voxels so the buildings LOOK more damaged and not so "minorly inconvienenced"(im talking mostly genesis).

@Nemoricus: Vinifera7 and myself have everything under control. Vinifera7 really has THE vision of what we are doing with AR2 and I trust him completley. Also, we aren't going to have any real hero units. That isn't AR2. However, you can still feel free to suggest ideas. Things that have never been done that would be really neat.. whatever. Just don't expect us to add it in unless we really like it, think it would be a useful and think it doesn't conflict with the story or character of the sides.

 

@Samurai Snack: I enjoyed playing Blitzkrieg online. It's fun to play against the creaters and whatnot. I don't expect you to know this, but the buildings are shp and the units are voxels :) The building images aren't important at the moment. In the future we could definitely give the building graphics attention, but for right now, the rebalancing of every unit and the improvement and introduction of various features is much more important. We've put a lot of work into the next version and we'll continue to do for each and every release. So much is changing so fast, but we have a long way to go.

About heroes, you're right. Nemesis units trying to be heroes would be killed for their stupidity. :P Genesis would field test prototypes at main bases and then field them at small bases in quantity.

 

About ideas, I'm going to keep my mouth shut until I've seen the next version. I don't want to accidentally suggest anything already planned or fill an already filled role.

Neither side has "Hero" units, though the Genesis has the Seraph Elite Battlegear, which is MUCH more powerful than the standard Shiner and can even deploy an Auraprop to elevate itself above the battlefield giving it greater firing range and the ability to fire over walls.

 

Nemesis is closer to having a real hero unit with the Sclerite, which is a bioengineered/cybortic soldier that is very powerful and RIDICULOUSLY expensive... as in like 15-20 TIMES the cost of the regular Conscript.

I doubt any suggestions you make will thwart our plan for world dominance. But most won't probably be considered unless you plead excessively. j/k

Quite honestly, I don't have any at the moment. The manual requires fixing, but that's a job best left till after the next version. New stuff is planned I presume.

 

IMO, the seraph class needs to be a bit faster. It does have a jet pack. Oh, I think that immunity to radiation is good for it while hovering. It's not on the ground.

 

It seems that there's a fairly large class gap between the cutilator and shiners and the seraph. I'm not sure how this affects Genesis, but it's there.

You don't need to be on the ground to die of radiation poisoning...tell that to the Russian helicopter pilots at the Chernyobl reactor.

This is viniferal poisoning, I'm guessing it needs close proximity to cause an infection.

BTW, superweapons are overdone, IMO. Either of the highest level superweapons can decimate a construction yard. I don't like game ending weapons like that.

Yeah, it's Vinifera poisoning, so it's more like corrosive material and vapors. If it was actually possibe to make the Seraph immune to radiation whilst hovering, I WOULD actually do that. Good suggestion, but it's not possible afik.

 

Ah yes, the superweapons! Their power won't be reduced, though I may tweak the charge time some. Also, you can use the Superweapons check box to disallow them from being used. Unchecking the Superweapons box will still allow players to use the Insertion, Bombing Raid, Particle Shield, Terrain Scan, and a new special for Nemesis that won't be revealed until 6.0 ;)

It's still not like it's very high anyway when it hovers to be immune to poisoning. What, it's like a foot off the ground in the graphic?

Cool, new stuff.

How does the deployer logic work for infantry?

EDIT: Regardless of how it does work, I found an interesting tag during ini snooping last night. It's called UndeployDelay=frames. This is attached to the Yuri clone and yuri prime. I think it's the delay before they can use their ability again.

It might work to force seraphs back to ground after a certain time has elapsed.

Afterall, those jetpacks aren't too powerful.

Just a thought.

I do need to know how the deployer logic works for infantry. It might be useful.

BTW, Genesis makes use of stealth generators on its units at various levels of experience. Why not a full size generator?

 

EDIT: This is weird. You can set a rally point for the Genesis factories and reapers will go right to work automatically. Any ideas as to why?

This might have existed in tiberian sun, I'll have to check.

 

EDIT2: *Knocks self on head multiple times.* Tiberian Sun didn't have rally points.
