[UFO] Extra Battleships
« on: January 25, 2016, 10:24:44 pm »
I've created a couple new battleship map variants.

The mod also slightly improves the vanilla battleship map and routes (no more empty boring rooms, or rooms that the aliens never uses!).

Running smoothly and looking fantastic. Compliments Luke's Extra UFOs rather nicely!

hi,

some of your route nodes for bs2 and bs3, do not contain proper size settings. I advise to recheck.

You mean these three, right? I'm not really the expert on route nodes.

Can't remember which, there were so many.
Its not only the size, also the patrol information, which indicates which nodes aliens of a specific size can run too.
I had to recheck every damn node.

Okay I see. But why is that nessesary, really? I mean, large units will never be on those nodes anyways.

Because they won't be able to move effectively, for example getting out of a room - or indeed leaving the node - may be impossible. (Unless they spot you, that is - node info is only used for patrol.)

Err... why link 3 - 59 "should be small"? Can't it walk on this 3-tile large space?

Sorry for the lack of clarity. The link leads to a node located in another room, only small units can go trough the door.

Okay, thanks. Gonna study the changes Hellrazor made and figure this out.

Will publish a updated version with improoved routes and probably also a new map variant as soon as I have time.
