hmmz. true the genisis veg building does a lot to your cash flow, but it forces you to consider your tactics again. tank rushes are no longer that viable and as the Genisis in the first place its not always a great idea. oh.. and what is with the spinning genisis artillery? i forgot the name but every time they try to go up one space they swivel.. just like the kirovs did before they were patched. is this fixed?

i find the a simple infantry siege on the vinifera against the nemisis works well.

also, as for the nemisis tank being over powered, i can usualy destroy all tank rushes with around 25 shiners.

The Leviathan's erratic movement is intentional, this was explained in the manual.

Anything new with the mod to share?
I'm still around, intend to always be around. What can I say, I like AR2.

The Leviathan's erratic movement is intentional, this was explained in the manual.

The "drunken" movement of the Leviathan will be removed in the next version. The problem of the unit getting stuck in trees and cliffs occurs too often to justify keeping this "aesthetic" feature.

Instead, the Leviathan will simply move incredibly slowly.

[Nemoricus]

Hmm...I don't recall ever having a problem with this feature, but I can see how that would improve its performance.

I've also had Jackals and Enforcers stuck at sharp corners at the top / bottom of a ramp. IIRC I've also had it with Reapers. Might be a problem with AR2's use of the hover locomotor. Or it might be AR2's hard luck to have triggered a bug in the basic YR2 code - I've had similar problems with non-hover units (Nexus miner, which is like a scaled-up Terror Drone) in the Robot Storm mod.

I'm really excited to hear that the mod isnt dead.
hey this is also my first post! Not all that happy with the American ranks.
Has the error with the bunkers attacking themselves been fixed yet?

I know that gamemate gave me some code in an attempt to fix the repear. I'm not sure, but this may or may not be fixed.

...Has the error with the bunkers attacking themselves been fixed yet?

Can you give a more detailed explaination? Which bunkers, and how does it happen?

[Curator]

Wow, the nostalgia.

Kudos for keeping this alive guys, even if on life support.

No problem .

And more like its in a coma...recovering...for the eventual awakening...maybe

[Rattuskid]

How did you guys ever pull off that 'drunken' movement loop anyway? I don't think I've ever seen that in any other mod...

[Vinifera7]

I actually never figured that out myself. I speculate that it might have something to do with the hover controls.

Is it really still alive, even of this current time in 2008?

[tmapm]

Work isn't being done on it at the present time. We still do want to push out a release, but it won't be anytime soon. We are interested in the new RP2 that PD is going to release that allows you to write your own code into the engine, but we're still waiting for that.

[IconOfEvi]

Dammit tmapm, you leaked our secret!

Well I think he's being humble guys...everytime I ask him (which is quite often), him and V7 have managed to cook up something new.

[Vinifera7]

To be frank, what little work in the community I've been doing recently has been mostly toward ModEnc.

I mean what I say. If I say no work is being done, no work is being done.

CODE

Speed=8
AccelerationFactor=2
DeaccelerationFactor=1
SlowdownDistance=600
Accelerates=true

This code, as well as applying acceleration to a hover locomotor, is what makes the movement erratic.
