P&N testers wanted

[Rich04]

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

Thanks SJ.

P&N won't run with the new patch. I get two errors with the settings.txt when I try to start. One with message display and another with ship movement delay.
Any idea when an update will be made?

I just noticed the thread that mentioned that.

Adding two lines to the settings.txt will fix it. see This thread for details.
Just copy-paste the two lines mentioned there, and see if it works.

My latest-patch links are updated to include an updated v2.4 with that addition.
I'll see about upgrading the P&N classic mod this weekend.

Have you updated the 2.4 on PBW. It is the old one that doesn't work with the new patch.
