Code: [Select]

Error processing 'STR_ALIEN_POCKET_LASER_SNIPER' in research: Unknown research 'STR_AA_LASER_GOGGLES'
just to be clear do you have the ChemLasers mod installed?

When enabling the modification, an error occurs:

Code: [Select]

Error processing 'STR_ALIEN_POCKET_LASER_SNIPER' in research: Unknown research 'STR_AA_LASER_GOGGLES'

I will try to solve this error tomorrow

also "life is a box of pipebombs (oh and a rebalance of everything ever)" will be moved up till later due to the sheer size of the mod (mainly due to being a rebalance of everything)

Thanks for this modification.

You're welcome and thank you for bringing this error to my attention

as such the next mod will be "Know thy enemy" a teaser is attached below

Suggestions / (board suggestion) Finished Y-Scripts

« on: November 22, 2024, 11:38:12 pm »

basically we already have a board for mods and Y-Script support

so why not a board for finished Y-Scripts so if any modder needs a finished script they can just take it

that's my suggestion

thanks for reading

(part 2)
ChemLasers

* fixed an error that made it so that laser goggles self destructed even if you owned them
+ added single usage laser goggles
(warning any laser goggles or their alloy version you owned before this update will become single usage goggles)
* made it so that normal (non breaking) goggles need premotion 3

* 4 new guns

* multiple new ammo types

* new loadouts for every mission in the game

the main new stuff is only useful to modders

Response to coorta88's quite well written post (an unholy amount of spoilers below)

Spoiler:

4/Cyberweb - probably want to take control over earth as well, but not sure about that with their mad scientists vibe.

I always saw them as simple unhinged scientists whom value technological advancement over all else
and when said technological advancement led them to dimension X they chose to align themselves with the dimension X aliens (man we need a way to say that that does not take 84 years) in exchange for the technology needed to build the battleship they use.

Jarhead terror missions should probably be replaced by something similar to reptoid assasination missions as it does not make much sense to deploy jarheads as shock troopers (which they are not)

unless this is either a test of their combat ability, a strategic error, or they made a shock troop variant.

but that's all I have to say

ChemLasers 2.0 IS HERE

now with 2 new weapons,
a huge buff to all of the shield shredders,
a new usage for sanity (W.I.P Will be expanded in the next mods),
and a ton of error fixes such as:

1.vehicles (barring armored cars) no longer being blindable
 
2. the jumpsuit no longer breaking the game via immunity to plasma
 
3. the 'Flash in the pan' actually shreds shields as it says in the Ufopaedia

4. all vehicle laser weapons now do blind damage (as they should)

overall in my opinion this is a much needed patch that improves ChemLaser weapons (and this mod) from mid to slightly better than mid
well have fun

the FN Minimi Ufopaedia article uses the term "bullets" where the term "round" should be as is shown below

current text: "It fires the 5.56mm NATO bullets."

all of the following are fixes:

1. "It fires the 5.56mm NATO round."

2. "It fires 5.56mm NATO bullets."

3. "It fires 5.56mm NATO rounds."

4. "It fires the 5.56X45mm NATO round."

5. "It fires the 5.56X45mm NATO bullet"

6. "It fires 5.56X45mm NATO bullets"

although it could be improved with:  "It fires 5.56X45mm NATO rounds from a 100 ammo box."

or:  "It fires 5.56X45mm NATO bullets from a 100 ammo box."

welp that's all I have to say.
