Atrocities AST Mod

Just an observation, it would be easier for people using the add-on if it extracted to the AST folder directly instead of it's own folder, then moving it manually.

Thanks. The Fed General.txt issue was fixed in the 1.4 patch. I must have missed it when I set up the full Version. I will upload a new copy later.

In the mean time, the best way to fix it is to simply open the Fed_General.txt scroll down to Race Opt 2 Num Characteristics := 5 and change the 5 to a 4. Save it and presto fixed.

I'll look at the mount issue now. It might be a bug with the mount mod.

The small laser has a range of 2 and the small mount has a range modifier of -2, looks like that is the problem.

Ok this is why the Small Mount does not work.

Quote:

Short Name := Small Mount
Description := Extremely miniaturized mount which allows a weapon to be used on fighters. It decreases damage from the weapon by 40%, and the size by 50%. Can only be used on Direct Fire weapons. Requires a fighter of at least 23kT.

It decrease the damage of a weapon by 40%. So a small laser beam 1 has a damage rating of 10, reduced by 40% and voilia, no damage.

I will change this to no decrease in damage.

When playing AST I keep getting two error Messages:
Could not find field �Race Opt 2 Characteristic 5 Type� in record �Federation�
Could not find field �Race Opt 2 Characteristic 5 Amount� in record �Federation�

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I have events turned off.

Is this the problem that you guys are talking about? Remember, some of us illiterates don't speak AI :-)
