NW, what version of the OP missions is this? I seem to have this file, but I can't tell them apart.

This is the newest release, it just came out about 2 hours ago. Look for a mission called MetNW13Big Game (it's a brand new mission) in the pack you have and you will know if you have the newest. If not you should DL the new one.

FireSoul · « **Reply #181 on:** March 31, 2003, 08:49:51 pm »

Well, I updated my .MCT files to compensate for the new mission.
So, for those who like to polay the EAW missions that were recompiled for OP, the package is here .

The EAW campaigns for OP themselves were updated lately: http://klingon.stasis.ca/sources_and_utils/EvilDave/OPMissions.zip

Hey.. Dave..

.. I think you still sometimes create enemies too close to the SB in "Base Defense"..

I just played the salvage mission on the D2 OP and I captured an enemy ship. The game would not end.

Does anyone know if this is just a one time bug or a problem with the mission?

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #184 on:** April 12, 2003, 01:55:11 pm »

OK, for the OP scripts I've tackled the fixes for most of the mission issues I've heard raised on Badlands so far, (missions appearing as mandatory in own hexes, not appearing as mandatories in enemy space, mission diversity problems in some areas or terrain, balance, pp awards, ship placement, etc etc)

The updated pack is at
http://www.sfcx.org/downloads/mirrors/NuclearWessels/OPMissions.zip

There is a new enemy-space patrol mission in there (Met_NW7Patrol I think), so the mission list will need to be updated.

PS - Firesoul - this includes the updated convoy routines we were talking about

PPS - Just in the process of recompiling the EAW pack with the same fixes applied, hopefully will have that ready tonight or tomorrow

Will badlands be updated right away, or later?

jdmckinney · « **Reply #186 on:** April 12, 2003, 05:17:54 pm »

I'll update the Badlands missions today, since Castrin is away. I'll get to it in a few minutes.

FS, should I expect a shiplist release, or are you going to take a couple more weeks for more improvements?

FireSoul · « **Reply #187 on:** April 12, 2003, 05:35:13 pm »

Why, do you need it in a hurry?
It's 'stable' right now.. ... but I do have to right up the HTML for the webpage... and tonight I go out.

.. I was thinking sometime during next week.
(You shouldn't bother making shiplist tweaks on Badlands until you get to try this one out.)

Just wanted to see if we should time our Reclamation campaign to run after this is released. It looks like we will wait, unless you are going to take more than a week on it. Keep up the good work (same goes for Dave)!

FireSoul · « **Reply #189 on:** April 12, 2003, 07:33:44 pm »

Ahhhh...
.. ok.. Wait till the next release of the shiplist, and then set it up on Badlands to get a feel of it. It should make a lot of people happy.

New test result for NW11 Convoy Raid mission: solo vs. AI mission, me as Klingon D5C with AI Lyran AxPFT as ally vs. Fed CLD and a handful of freighters (none of them Qs). At one point, when there were 2 freighters left, I got a message saying I killed a freighter when in fact none of the remaining ones at that point had exploded. After killing the one I was working on, I got a officer briefing saying we'd completed our mission, but not a mission complete notice. I then moved to the final freighter, which was already severely damaged by the Lyran INTs and AxPFT. When it died (I did not capture any ships), I got a mission incomplete and mission end. I suspect that last freighter was counted as killed before it actually died.

At mission debriefing, I got an astounding victory. I also won the hex.

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #191 on:** April 12, 2003, 07:54:13 pm »

Weird. (And ugh.) The 11Convoy sources haven't been changed since a couple of weeks before the patch came out - hopefully this is just a random hiccup and not a lurking bug -- will look into it though.

dave

jdmckinney · « **Reply #192 on:** April 12, 2003, 08:59:41 pm »

I played it again solo (no AI assistance) and had no obvious bugs. However, one of the freighters got away, and I had to run from the NAC chasing me. So, I haven't recreated the circumstances. Still, the hex and prestige results were fine -- just the in-mission text messages were screwy.

jdmckinney · « **Reply #193 on:** April 13, 2003, 12:15:11 pm »

While testing the Reclamation campaign setup, I was getting handed the Battlestation Assault in friendly space (Gorn base while playing Hydran). I did not try it to see what happened. The cartel layer was neutral, which I suspect may be part of the problem, because the missions are handed out as if neutral were an empire, and it had "border dispute" status to me.

Is there a way to get the mission scripts to work around the neutral cartel hex ownership?

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #194 on:** April 13, 2003, 04:37:47 pm »

The API routines for detecting cartel ownership seem pretty flaky - haven't found a way to use them effectively so far, so it's pretty much come down to toying with the missionmatching.gf settings.

The missionmatching.gf settings I've been running the missions with are shown below - they're reasonably successful at eliminating the spurious base assaults (at least in SP).

Cool, I'll try these settings.

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #196 on:** April 13, 2003, 08:01:48 pm »

OK, for the EAW side the updated pack is now posted as well.

This includes the fixes for all the issues brought up in DOE and Badlands, a couple of new missions, and a variety of tweaks.

Hey Dave is the Pirate-Lyran .mct an actual campaign or just something left over from your testing?

Klingon Fanatic · « **Reply #199 on:** April 14, 2003, 05:02:13 pm »

Thank you Nuclear Wessels, unfortunately...

RED ALERT!

I installed the new missions over the previous release in my script file and now I crash to desktop after I get to the loading screen. I have ALL the latest shiplists and mission packs FireSould and NW have put out. Should I uninstall the game and try again?

Please advise.
