Dave,

Another thing, i would like to add the 4 Edwarppatrol missions to a stroryline campaign. Lets say i want to add them to a Custom Fed vs the ISC, do i just copy the 4 missions from the WarptestFed.mct to Custom Fed vs the ISC mct file? Do you think this will work? If not how do i go about it? I would love to play a storyline campaign with these missions in it.

Just open the .mct file for the campaign you want to include them in,
and add the mission names to the bottom of the list of missions, e.g.

Code: [Select]

... suppose the .mct file already had missions 0..21
22="Met_EDDisengagePlayer.scr"
23="Met_EDDisengageEnemy.scr"
24="Met_EDPlayerPatrol.scr"
25="Met_EDEnemyPatrol.scr"

Just exactly as i thought, these missions will make the storyline campaigns much more fun.

Thanks for your help.

I was just playing some of your missions locally and like the monsters using ECM, I've never seen them do that before.

Not sure if this bug has been reported but I saw opposing ships open fire on the asteroids that apparently one can tractor and move. Pretty silly to see a Gorn ship attacking an asteroid.

LOL - thanks Lepton. I'd intended to set things up so they'd try and destroy the asteroid if you tried to push it into their planet, but forgot to make them neutral in other circumstances. Doh!

OK, I've updated the current status of the change requests and bug reports at the top of this thread.

If the multiplayer test goes ahead on Wednesday then I'll dig through the reports/results that come out of that, and hopefully we can get a subsequent version of the pack out next week.

Whoa - maybe I wasn't clear, the posted pack hasn't changed yet (trying to minimize the number of different installs folks have to do during testing). After Wednesday we hope to know (mostly) what else needs changing, and once that's done I'll revise the posted pack. The status update is just so folks know where we are in terms of bughunts.

Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for the clarification NW.

I finally got to play the repair roundevous style mission.

What a blast!

I still haven't played the Andromedan Displacement device mission yet though, maybe I'll draw it up tonight...

Qapla!

Don't know if this is a bug or not, but, came across a mission where I had to rescue a friend in a mine field. I blew up one of the mines and the mission ended incomplete.

Also, When we try to knock down a shield to beam over the repair team, they shoot back... even though they are "my friend".

AH, thanks - both are bugs, will see what I can do about them today.

Also if you can check when we have to beam medical supplies over as well. I remember plinking that Freighter with a phaser-3 just to knock its shield down and it returned fire (as I was beaming) with a photon and three phaser-1s.

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #193 on:** December 05, 2006, 04:26:20 pm »

Righto (actually the code for those two scenarios is pretty tightly bundled together, so the fix for one should get both)

thanks,
dave

The 30-Second warmup seems like a good idea. If we were to switch over to Tac Warp being used at anytime, any chance you could make it so pressing the Emergency Stop button would cause a HET breakdown while at warp, and give the Tac Warp a standard 15-seconds to drop out of warp, with say...a minute or two cool down time before Tac Warp can be used again?

I think that may fix the problem with balancing it for seeking weapons.

Lieutenant_Q · « **Reply #195 on:** December 06, 2006, 02:12:40 pm »

Also, it seems that when you went to disable the Target Closest Enemy button, you disabled targeting all around. Until your sensors find what you are looking for in the mission. You cannot target anything. Why were you concerned about disabling that button anyways?

Got some bleed over in the missions... I got the Riverboat Casino...where I get to go aboard and clean J'inn out...and its giving me the slingshot scripts in the corner...over and over and over again...

How are we supposed to "Board" J'inn's ship...do I need some kind of search warrant?

I had the same problem with the Riverboat. Also, Q and I flew together for awhile. In a few missions, scanning does not give further instructions on how to proceed. An example would be the planned placing of a terraforming team on an asteroid. The other I can remember right now dealt with a burnt-out naval ship not answering hails. It was repairing itself while we scanned it, but there was no result from the scan.

NuclearWessels · « **Reply #197 on:** December 06, 2006, 05:09:03 pm »

OK, thanks Q and A!

The crossover from the casino mission sounds like a missing break stmt, I'll check that out when I get home tonight.

I'll have to dig into the unresponsive scans, not sure what that is yet.

MP Glitch: Whenever someone goes to warp in a mission, ALL players lose their current targets.

and MP battles, 2v3, an ai ship shows up for the 2 side.
