[TOTAL CONVERSION] The Piratez Mod - 0.9.j - 9 May - Holiday Edition

[Ran]

I like the backgrounds, but I think the one for the Battlescape options makes it a bit hard to read the text.

i see what you mean... the only words i can make out are 30 mins, 1 hour, 1 day and SET THE COURSE!

[Ran]

Yes, that's the problem with distracting backgrounds...

Anyway, a more serious issue, once you are inside the Raiders ship, there appears to be no way out.
Check the savegame.
It always says you don't have enough TUs when you try to get out even if you are next to the door with plenty left.

[Dioxine]

Crap, i've noticed that issue with the Raider ship before, but totally forgot to fix it. I have no idea what's wrong, must be these non-standard stairs... I'll try to find a workaround.

About the background - I'll try to make it more uniform, removing rogue pixels... if it fails, I'll find another one - which would be a shame since I like the scene pretty much... kneeling behind cover and looking nervous

[SupSuper]

The Battlescape background works differently from other screens.



You should be using the first 1-15 pixels of the palette for the background instead. They're darker and provide better contrast with the UI.

Took me too long to get that one XD

I think the Bonaventura has a leak somewhere, see attached savegame.

[Dioxine]

Probably some roof tile obscured by the back wall is missing... I'll look into it.

[Ran]

By the way - what do you think about a roof opening in the Bonaventura, maybe even with stairs?
Would give the upper deck some function as the roof would be a good sniper position.

Featured in Leviathan, can't give the player everything at once

Thx, I'm not that far yet.
Playing this Mod on Superhuman is hard...

Currently I have to deal with this mutant pogrom of the Church,  see for yourself you can survive it.

You, sir, are insane! XD

So you thought laser weapons are so awesome they make firearms obsolete? The Church is there to prove you wrong
With just 8 girls and limited amounts of explosives/melee weapons, and lasgun-based outfit, your chances are pretty crappy there At least you took a few Smoke Grenades... I'd advise to keep killing Chryssalids until the Church's morale breaks

[Solarius Scorch]

Church's morale breaks

Very funny... XD

[Mr. Quiet]

So the game has a religion too, and it involved Chryssalids. I just lost my appetite for years...
