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

[pilot00]

Raiders do not have anything higher ATM. No idea what's the story with the Traders, hopefully it'll be gone by the time Extended is rolled out

Prepare a trap-base then, w/o any shroud and near a city in the middle of a continent. Launch many interceptions from there. Come on, some creativity there (and hope it won't bug out...)

I was considering blowing up the shrouds but I have a gut feeling that there is something in the traders as a faction that causes this. Hm...I ll try it.

EDIT: And yes my guts were right.

Hi Dioxine and I must say this conversion looks brilliant as I've been following Ivan's LP on youtube and had a troop that did well b4 her untimely demise in the hideout defense of episode 3. Currently in the late stages of a redux game and would like to give piratez a go next but was wondering on 2 points. Firstly the latest version of piratez (0.9j) is just b4 the file changes to installing OPXC and mods, will 0.9j work with nightlies from 05-07-2015 onwards and if so is there any difference in the way u install piratez compared to b4? And secondly I noticed that the commendations mod has been updated (05-25-2015) to the new system. Can u use the commendations with piratez? Thanks in advance.

Short answer: check the first post you lazy boy.

Long answer: Requires 30 Apr 2015 Nightly. You will find the link in the first post. This also means it is not updated to the new system; indeed it cannot be updated since the new system enforces 1000 objects/mod limit.

Woops missed that and ta for the quick response, understand fully, will use either nightly 04-30-2015 0720 or 05-04-2015 1846 when I start a new game if I use v0.9j. Tho piratez extended sounds intriguing and it'll be a while til I hopefully finish redux so maybe piratez extended will be up and going by then.

[Dioxine]

I think the release will be in about 2-3 weeks. Experimental version might become available sooner.

[SIMON BAILIE]

Well I still haven't done an alien base mission in redux atm and I think I'll have to get @ least 2 base commanders, one being an Ethereal b4 attempting Cydonia so prob still won't have finished redux by then anyway. Looking forward to it tho.

AFAIK if your mod is "master" it don't have any limit.

I'd rather not comment on that since I've managed to get it to work on Piratez:Extended and I don't want the solution to be "fixed" away Anyhow 1000 item limit is still enforced for masters that have masters themselves.

So.... how do snapshots work beyond the LOS limit?

ie.  Scoped Rifle:  "Increased Snapshot Accurate Range (22)

erm... I guess I was thinking reaction fire.  So of course I won't be able to reaction fire with it at that range.  I can only reaction fire to range 20, my sight distance.    But I can use this to snap beyond my LOS on my turn so thats cool.   

Ok. Nevermind the derpy question.

[Dioxine]

These numbers tell you at what range the accuracy dropoff starts (when the litlle% numbers turn yellow and you're losing accuracy with every subsequent tile).

[Arthanor]

Yeah, all it means is that you won't get range accuracy penalties until 22 tiles (instead of the default 15 tiles for snap shots). Some weapons also have increased auto-range, which makes them not take penalties at the default 7 tiles, but further.

[Dioxine]

The default for Auto in Piratez is 11 not 7. As for the Snap, it stayed at the default Accuracy Extender value - 14.

[Arthanor]

Oh man.. I've got my numbers all wrong! Thanks for the info
