P&N testers wanted

Suicide Junkie · #1 October 22nd, 2001, 12:52 AM

Here is the latest P&N, v2.4.
I'll need some people to help test it under the latest SE4 Version when the patch comes out, so I'll be ready for the CD.

Any bug reports will be appreciated.

I've been considering posting my personal mod for some time now. It's nowhere near 'complete' like the TDM modpack, for example, but it probably never will be. I'm too much of a tinkerer to finish something like that. The constant changing and testing is the whole point... What do you think is the best way for me to offer my 'suggestions' to the mod community for these 'finished' mods? Maybe I could just email a copy to the known modders? Or would it be worthwhile to post it with a bunch of experimental components, a couple of unfinished racial tech areas & whatnot?

i would suggest starting a thread like Kodos has for his ideas and questions. I get tons of mod / scenario ideas from that.

Any chance of getting it up on PBW.
The 1st P&N game is ready to start be we are debating to wait for 2.4.
So far 2.4 seems to be less buggy that 2.3c in solo games.

I will upload P&N v2.4 to PBW in about 5 hours. Someone just has to contact the PBW admins to get the mod actually installed there.

One addition to the changes list of P&N v2.4:
- Cost of the armor tech area has been increased. Hitpoints per KT per Research point spent is much more balanced now.

Therefore, in order to get a big hitpoint advantage over shields in the early game, you've gotta use the Premium mounts for that 40% strength bonus.

Shields vs Armor is now an early game concern, rather than only coming into play at max tech

OK, I've uploaded the mod to PBW, and posted a message about getting your game upgraded.

See Rich04's PBW thread
and
My PBW thread

Looks like we both posted at the same time, exactly 5 hours after it was discussed here
