[COMPILATION] Final Mod Pack (FMP)

[Solarius Scorch]

I have no idea what is wrong with Ky3bMu4's save, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

[NuclearStudent]

I mean that's the ship
He appeared only once. For the past five years, it is not, it is a norm?

You were actually extremely lucky to see that ship even once. I've gone through, iunno, over a decade of gameplay without seeing that thing.

Hey guys, a thanks, a bug report, and a mod offer:

First, the most important part.  I've been playing with this mod for a few months now and I'm really enjoying the work you've put in.  This has completely revitalized my interest in XCOM, which I previously hadn't played for almost a decade.  New weapons, new enemies, new maps, and a much longer play cycle really bring this experience together.  So, thanks for bringing this world back to life.

Second, a bug report you may or may not be aware of.  When I started encountering Sectoid guardians I stuck enough darts in it to knock it out, only to have the game crash each time I ended the mission.  Going back to the save I confirmed that by destroying the captive or killing the guardian the game was able to continue.  This has persisted between 1.54 and 1.61, and has occurred each time I've found these foes.  I might suggest that there's something off about the base item, but I don't really know.  I can provide a save, if it's useful.

Thirdly, over the course of play I've put together a small handful of modifications that I think add to the game.  It's a weird combination of a few new units (like a manufactured attack dog wearing synth-suit armor) and a few little balance changes (like adding strength to the damage of the elerium mace, which I personally believe underpowered considering its accuracy deficit against the stun rod).  They rely on the other mods, though, and wouldn't work as a standalone.  I don't know if you're interested or not, but if so I could post them up for perusal.

Thank you. This is exactly why modders mod. (also to add boobs to their games, but that's another matter)

Hmm. I can't say I'm very surprised, since they're a late addition and I could never find them in my campaign to test them properly. I guess you are right, something must be missing in relation to the geoscape item "live Sectoid Guardian". Should be easy to fix, I'll have a look later today.

Sure I'm interested. Can't say much without seeing it, but I have nothing against upgraded dogs, and the mace can be looked at again (the entire stunning equipment is a bit of a mess, since I don't like the basic Stun Rod hitting automatically, but on the other hand making captures harder would probably scare away the players). Just drop it somewhere here or whatever suits you, and I'll have a look.

Ey Solarius,

would you be interest in some other Power Suits / Flying Suits Sprites?

I am just putting together some standalones. I post some Screenshots later.

You know I am.

[hellrazor]

You know I am.

I just noticed that i actually did the same sprites you already had in the FMP for Moriaties Power/Flying Suit
So nevermind this.

No problem. I'm thinking of some upgraded versions anyway, with less movement restrictions. I know the penalty to TUs is controversial, but I still believe it profitable to the balance. Still, for those who want to get to the very end of the tech tree it could be attractive to get a faster armour of similar values.

EDIT:

Version 1.6.3 released.

• Integrated Luke's Extended Terror, modified by Hellrazor (under Urban Alternative).
• Gauss and railgun tanks ammo is cheaper to sell now.
• Added a Small Scout to the Alien Terror wave.
• Fixed a problem with Harvester maps (by re-applying maps by Grzegorz).
• Fixed a bug with catching Sectoid Guardians crashing the game.
• Added some missing listOrder flags for sorting research items.

The rare geoscape crash problem still persists, sorry. I just can't find it yet.

Hi Solarius,

Check the positions of your cities!

example:
Yours:

Code: [Select]

        - [308.54, 308.54, -64, -64, -1, STR_NUUK]

Mine:

Code: [Select]

        - [308.8, 308.8, -64.07, -64.07, -2, STR_NUUK]

Don't bother of the different texture asignment, your not useing the Port Attack mission from the Terrainpack.

This just a example, which might lead to crashes, since craft trying to land on those location, will lead to crashes.

It is also possible that your missionszones are somewhat off.

[hellrazor]

I presume you are using the older Version of the TerrainPack stuff,
i assume Version 3.6.
Here is a diff of the City Locations between Version 3.6 and Version 3.7

First line is Version 3.6 and second line is Version 3.7 respective.
Those changes were made because of random geoscape crashes, which originated from Cities which were not properly sitting on land locations.
You can follow this up if you are interested in it, in the Terrain Pack Thread, see here.

I hope correcting these city locations, will fix those random crashes for all FMP users.

Best regards hellrazor

EDIT: but you also wanna check your Australian mission zone see here

[Solarius Scorch]

Many thanks for the cities fixes, I've been meaning to do it for some time.

but you also wanna check your Australian mission zone see here

It looks to me the same as mine, with the exception of not having Fiji.

Sorry for the spam,

No problem, but you can just merge these posts by editing, no?

Was watching the last Meridian's video and the Holodrone seems to be missing "constantAnimation: true" for its armor type, since it stands completely still instead of spinning around:
