Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Are you going to restrict orbital bombardment in this mod?
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
That was a consideration when I started restricting what could shoot at fighters but I decided to not restrict orbital bombardment on the following ideas:
1. We have lasers right now that can hit things from hundreds of miles away imagine what they could have in the future. So the arguement that the atmosphere would prevent energy weapons from being used against the planet from a place in orbit because of atmosphereic distortion is flawed 2. This is geeky but think back to ST:TNG in a few episoids the Enterprise used its phasers to attack something on the planet. If there is something I missed and did not cover or I missed the whole meaning of your question please say so. [ January 19, 2004, 23:21: Message edited by: Combat Wombat ] |

Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
I'd play in the PBW game (even though I'm already in 6 games http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ) What's it called on PBW? By the way, I am working on testing your mod, but with school and other stuff, it's slow going.

Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40

Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
I see you've added the infamous IR Laser. Does it change the channels on the viewscreen of your enemies?
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Not quite, but you should dl the mod and play it constantly just to make sure

Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
i thought it was funny. not hilarious, but still funny.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Sure you can use it as a weapon, but why not pick some EMR that's a bit stronger like X-Rays? Unless of course you are going for the classic Martian "Heat Ray".
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Well the mod where CW borrowed those from has X-Ray Lasers... and CW has UV Lasers in Invasion... it is not as if the IR Laser is the only one used. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif At least in Adamant, it is longer ranged and weaker than the X-Ray Laser.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Everyone that makes a solid contribution to the mod whether that be an idea or informing me of bugs will get a new weapon in the mod named after them.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Ok, I promised to test your mod, and here are some preliminary results:
- A dedicated Savegame folder would be nice, just to keep the savegames of mods separate. - If possible, have AI’s colonize a little more in the early game. In my first game, many AI's seemed to have trouble. - Error in Ultra Violet Laser description. You have utra instead of ultra. Its not very much, but I haven't had much time to spend recently. Hopefully more to come. |
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Thank you, I just fixed the first and Last things on your list and I'm gonna get to work on the AI soon.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Beta 0.26 of Invasion! has been released
You need the newest Versions of FQM Deluxe and Image Mod to play properly http://www.spaceempires.net/files/cw/Invasion.rar Change List: Added a dedicated Savegame folder Fixed error in Ultra Violet Laser description. All Versions after this one will be in a folder that is named the same(Invasionbeta24 ect.. will not be used anymore) They will now all be released as "Invasion" as the folder name. So before installing this delete all other Versions of Invasion! unless for some odd reason you want to keep them. Added Brand spanking new splash screen (looks really nice) Added smooth population bonus every 1% (Thank you Fyron) No AI changes yet. I recommend that you join the PBW game Invasion! the AI is still playable but don't expect much of a challange [ January 27, 2004, 00:02: Message edited by: Combat Wombat ] |
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Combat Wombat, I have an error accessing the site?
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Its fixed, some how a \ got in at the end of the address
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
It may be very simple but here is the offical Invasion! mod website. I hope to make it look a little better in the near future
http://www.spaceempires.net/files/cw/index.html |
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Yes a graphical improvement on the website - that would help as would ongoing work on youre great mod pack.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Beta 0.27 of Invasion! has been released
Do NOT download this update if you have already downloaded Beta 0.26 as there are no bug fixes unless you just really want the better quality splash screen right now You need the newest Versions of FQM Deluxe and Image Mod to play properly http://www.spaceempires.net/files/cw/Invasion.rar Change List: Made mod file size smaller for easier downloading Inproved splash screen quality |

Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Hey CW, I just tried to open your beta 27 file, and I was getting error Messages. You might want to recompress it.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Were you trying to open it in WinZip or in XP's built-in zip utility? If so, you will be unable to do it, as it is compressed in RAR format. You need WinRar, at http://www.rarlabs.com . If you were using WinRar, then the archive is likely corrupted.

I think it might have been something to do with his shrinking the size of the file. I don't know what else could have caused the error. |
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
I tried d/l the .26 Version, and I was getting the same error Messages also. Am I the only one getting the errors, or is something going on with his compression?
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Try reinstalling WinRar. I was able to get at least one of those Versions Last night and it loaded fine for me.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
That might be my problem. I was using v3.20. I'm d/l the current Version now, and will install that on my computer at work and at home. Thanks.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
It's not a problem with the file so it must be your Version. I am gonna start using self-extracting rar files soon so that should put an end to problems like this.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
Here is the self-extracting Version of Invasion! Beta 0.27 for those of you having problems with win-rar or are to lazy to download it.
http://www.spaceempires.net/files/cw/Invasion.exe |
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
I just tried using the 3.30 Version of WinRar, and I was still getting those error Messages when I tried to uncompress the file. I'll wait until the next beta comes out to see if I get the error again.
|
Re: Invasion! Mod Discussion Beta 0.40
I just d/l the self-extracting file. It worked fine. Thanks.
