Awesome!

BTW I haven't run any number on my ruleset,  I mostly hijacked the ones from armor repair and gravarmors and set "plausible" repair costs and times.

So I should have noted that the set has ALL to be eventually balanced out.

Nevertheless I hoped to ease you from the nitty-gritty of the buildup.

Hope to see the new tanks soon.

On an unrelated note, you think you will eventually publish a 'DLC' for 2.0 onwards that deals with PSI?


EDIT: still playtesting, the ET_Armor_repair.rul file required 0 Alien Alloys to repair the heavy personal Armor. Fixed in the attached.

OK I'm a bit stuck.   I have latest mod version and after raiding 10+ bases being very careful not to blasterbomb anything or let anything blow up, I have yet to unlock hwd.  I am worried of is because I am using the full expanded base mod?  When I disable that mod tho, game crashes when I try to attack any alien base.
Seems odd. I checked the ruleset for et mod and can't tell if I need an item from alien base for hwd or just capture different race engineer?

Loving the mod btw.  Plasma lmg are a blast.  And I had an aha moment when I noticed the increase sale value of certain items after converting.  Makes perfect sense.

Eeep, the HWE might be bugged. You need an engineer and a device called an 'Hyper Wave Encoder'. Just post your save file and I can add it to your inventory.

The biggest problem with testing for the hwe is I have to get to the point where there is the alien base.

I hear you've been working with HWP a lot. I've encountered a bug where the game closes up whenever my explosive shot Tank/Cannon fires and the bullet hits the ground. The explosion doesn't come up and the game just closes, not crashes. I don't know what is going on. Any advice for a noob modder?

Yeah, got it all solved now. The nightlies moved the hitAnimation: 26 from SMOKE.PCK to hitAnimation: 0 from X1.pck. Weird. Well, thanks!

The one for hw encoder.  But then when I completed research on it I still can't research or build hwd ?

Yup

Okay, going to give myself a navigator and the hwe and see if I can get to it. Is a bug most likely in requirements.

Got it sorted, it's a requirements issue.  You can either just give yourself "  - STR_HYPERWAVE_DECODER" under 'discovered' in your save file, or change the requirement as shown in the PlasmaWeapons ruleset:

  - name: STR_HYPER_WAVE_DECODER
    cost: 370 # 670
    points: 10
    dependencies:
      - STR_HYPER_WAVE_ENCODER
      - STR_ALIEN_COMMUNICATION

it was previously a 'requires'.

Now I just need to get a save file to the point where there's an alien base I can raid to make sure the item is appearing. It's as a corpse item right now, but I might change it to an electroflare type of item.  I just need it to appear in the map!
