Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Is this for Proportions or the standard v1.78?

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Are the other W40000 races to be found somewhere yet ?

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

solops - they are updates for the ones in the TDM-Modpack, I was still testing some of the changes when the Last Version came out so I didn't update them then.

Unknown-Enemy - There was a Slaneesh one made a while back, otherwise John Beech had done a couple of Eldar ships, and I'm about 80-90% done with a set based on BFG Chaos ships - just don't ever seem to have the time to finish them, and The AI for them hasn't been good enough to get me to get going on finishing them.

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Just started a game with them. Got error Messages for the Orks: Unknown value "Long Weapons Range" for Default Strategy in record [shipname]. As far as I checked these message are given for every design using the long Weapons range strategy.

A complete different topic:
You use Attack Bases. Does the game consider them as ships (join a fleet) or bases (don't join)?

Krill & Ork Update
 

Posted an updated Version of the Krill and Orks. I'm still not entirely satisfied with them, but I'll never get them posted if I wait until then. Please let me know of any comments or issues with them.

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

An "Attack Base" is supposed to be a Baseship. A Space Station can only defend; it cannot go on the offensive and seek out a target, which is what "attacking" is.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Did you use either the 3000 or the 5000 point empire file? I haven't seen that with the 2000 point one, but I might have forgotten to make the change in the other two. Until I get the .emp files updated, you can correct this by opening the DesignCreation file, and have Long Weapons Range replaced by Maximum Weapons Range - the only diference is targeting priority.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It has to do with how the AI uses ship types. The AI will not place a Attack Base in a fleet, and will design and build Attack Bases of any size, so I use the Attack Base as a scout (in all of my races). For actual Attack Bases, I will give them a different name, and call out that specific name in the ConstructVehicle file so that they will be included in fleets when they are built.

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Found the problem with strategies - updated wrong .emp files when I added the Long weapons range.

Posted the updated files, along with a small change to both the krill and Ork Construct Vehicle files.

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Hi Atraikius,
thanks for updating them. Looking forward to meeting them again in battle...

Once again Attack Bases:
When I get it right no Attack Base will join a fleet except the 1200 kt Base Ships??? Do you know the reason for this? Does it depend on the size or the max. number of engines?

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Rexxx - I haven't seen an Attack Base that was actually a baseship join a fleet yet. In the few games I've played that went long enough for the AI to build them had them, the Base ships I saw were all by themselves.

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

It would be nice to see some more W40k sets. Beech's eldar looks great. Or how about Tau or Necron.

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Actually, I have seen the Dominion put Baseships in fleets of 10-12. Very, very tough to go against.

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Updated them again for the changes to the Construct_Vehicle, and Planet_Types files

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Thanks for the update Atraikus. I couldn't find the UCE battlefleet on the USy site though...

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

This update is for GOLD 1.78 or for normal 1.49 ?

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Dogscoff - I know, John had told me he was holding off putting the races back up until he gets updated AI's for them. I sent him the updates on tuesday, so hopefully he will have them up shortly. I'm helping him out with getting the AI's for all of the old races that he used to have on his site updated to the current Version, but I have been trying to contact the original authors first, and so far only one of them has replyed back to me. I was only going to help with the AI's for races that were not done by some of the regular AI writers around here (thats also meant to be a hint for the two of you I know are still around here). I'd like to here some comments on the two UCE races, I have them doing some things a little differently that have worked fairly well (not one of the toughest races, but have seemed very consistant)in my test games (like heavy use of drone carriers armed with roughly equal numbers of drons and CSM5's), but would like to here how they do for other people.

Crazy_Dog - The updates are for the latest Gold Version, I have a hard enough time keeping them updated for the latest Version, I would have to make some major revisions to some of the files for them to work right with 1.49.

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

Great !!!

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Huh? That isn't me, is it?

Re: Krill & Ork Update
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Mephisto - No, I'm sure he would like to recieve updates for all of the TDM races (possibly updates for the TDM-Modpack too), but I was refering to some the races that he had with AI's done by regulars here that haven't been updated for a while, like the SEOR, etc...
