Topic: Updated ED mission pack and installer

[NuclearWessels]

OK, I finally got the mission pack and mct files cleaned up and seem to have the installer/uninstaller working (thanks again FS!)

This installs the latest version of all the ED missions (plus one .mct per race for SP play) plus a handful of scripts that haven't been posted previously (notes below).

[Note: if you're playing on the GW test server you might want to wait for word from DH or J'inn before switching to this pack]

Until sfcx comes back online you can find the installer here, running around 4meg:
http://www3.telus.net/NuclearWessels/sfc/downloads/NW_OPMissions.exe

The handful of new scripts are PvP-friendly variants on some of the standard patrols and assault missions.  In a PvP situation no AI gets generated (other than bases/planets/shipyards),  and in coop vs the AI you get either one or two enemy ships per human player (one larger or two smaller ones per "human").  The new scripts are:

Patrols (player, allied, and enemy space)
Met_NW5PatrolPlayer.scr
Met_NW5PatrolAllied.scr
Met_NW5PatrolEnemy.scr

Base and planet assaults
Met_NW7BaseStationAssPvP.scr
Met_NW7BattleStationAssPvP.scr
Met_NW7StarbaseAssPvP.scr
Met_NW9PlanetAssPvP.scr

Shipyard assault and defense
Met_NW8ShipYPvP.scr
Met_NW16ShipDefPvP.scr

As always, let me know about any bugs/annoyances!

Thanks Dave! I love NSIS. 

Aren't you all glad I brought it to the D2? <toots own horn, pats self on back..>
Shiplist/Script/Mod Install System
(I thought it was earlier than that though... there was no lzma compression available in it then however, just the convenience of a FREE installer with standard compression, FireSoul has certainly made the most of it since...)

Indeed! <looks for pat-on-back smiley>

What are you talking about? 
I had it first, independantly.

Edit:
Here's my earliest mention of it, in a OP+ 2.2 corrections thread..  .. it's been a while.

OP+ 2.2 corrections
So You are right. Your post is first.

[Bonk]

I'm pretty sure I recall asking you to look at its use...

(check the OP2538 OP Plus 20030413 link, linked from the thread linked above... oh what a tangled web...)

Like I said though, you certainly made the most of it and have been kind enough to pass on what you have learned about it. You be the SuperPiMP master FS!

In reward, I shall have to show you how to have component menus.

Cool!  You read my mind, I was hoping you'd enlighten us there! (even though it must be in that awkward helpfile somewhere)

[Klingon Fanatic]

Thanks guys!

It is not explained with a "How-To" train of thought. problem is, I'm at work right now, trying to write tests to the perl code to get this to work:

      my $software = SomeThing::SomeThingElse::DBI::Software->search( module_name => $module_name )->next;

(some names cleared out to protect the innocent).

Hey, take yer time - paying work first!

If I got what you're talking about right:
Automating software testing is the way to fly man, A friend of mine up in Ottawa made a load of dough quick by automating the testing of their Y2K updates to the Canada Post mail readdressing system... the contract payed out for 6 months of testing - his app completed tests of his Y2K updates to the system quick, whole project done in 2-3 weeks with pay for 6-9 months!

Actually it looks like you're searching a database there? I haven't gotten into perl (yet?) so I can't be much help there.

You should ask for a raise! And get back to work!  I say from the comfort of my time off...

[FireSoul]

Bonk, go here: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163344831.0.html
It's a more appropriate place for that discussion.

Thanks!

Evil Dave does it again!

[NuclearWessels]

Does it again all right  - I goofed a couple of the missions (encouraging your DD to draft exciting things like BB's )

The installer has been updated to include the latest ones, or you can grab a mini installer with just the fixes:

sorry!

Got a host left, new host message just now with Stinky. We didn't spot any double weapon or double damage that we could tell from the F-DDG we engaged, but did spot something weird...
The DD trac'd one of my drones, then let go and trac'd again. Like hitting the C key 3 times fast. Not sure what to make of that one...
