gazz the weapon switch isn't working on my ships any more, i have the al plugin set to all ships but it isnt playing ball, I have cmod and awrm installed, is this anything tp do with me using none vanilla weapons?

Can not reproduce.

Works as described. When set to "fighters switch weapons", the correct script is started for fighters.

If mods are to blame? Personally I think it's unlikely.

I switched back to the adv version and everything is working hunky dory...

gazz is there any way your scripts could get the turrets to target missiles that are targeting other player ships, ie if I have 3 cap ships in delta could the front point ship shoot down missile aimed at either of the other two as alot of the time the point ship is closer...

Multiplying each turret's target acquisition work by the formation size (which can be 60 for a carrier) would mean that instead of a workload of 60 units, a workload of 3600 units would need to be done.
It didn't sound like a good idea when I wrote the script and it doesn't now, either. =P

That would require a very different concept but feel free to try something like that. It certainly doesn't fit into this script.

gazz tbh lol I run with the policy you don't ask you don't get, dont get me wrong i wasn't dissing this script, I wouldn't play without it, I like to keep things simple so I don't use mars...

Hmm, the AL plugin never appears in my game ... all the files are there, everything else works, how can I check what's wrong?

garrry34 · Post by **garrry34** » Tue, 12. Jul 11, 21:34

I've been having that problem to, weird thing is if I install the previous adv version over it shows up then lol...

The only reason I can think of is that MD Mk2 is not compatible with Roger's EES / Changeling.

... that's not good ...

Can I make it compatible?

Does EES mess up the MDMK2 included in MARS as well?

You can delete the first 5 lines in setup.plugin.gz.missile.def.mk2.

According to Roger, that will break his script. Don't ask me why because I don't even know what his script does. Not my problem.

Ok, I read the relavant, and bewildering, posts.

I don't think this is related, That should not prevent the MdMK2 AL Plugin from appearing in the AL Plugin list. Short of lengthy script-by-script testing to see what's interfering, is there any way I can find out what's causing that?

I just looked at the script ...

Imma go away in shame now, keep making awesome scripts man

I JUST realized that this, installed as part of MARS, is what made BPs and M7M nearly worthless in my game. Great job!

I was like why's that all the capping guides make it seem so easy while my pods were always shot down? Were they playing a different game?! Turns out they were.

Gazz · Post by **Gazz** » Thu, 13. Oct 11, 07:33

You're welcome! =P

It would be a tiny bit unfair to use MARS and not even allow the AI ships to defend themselves. Mostly that just fixes several bugs and updates the Reunion-style MD script to the TC environment.

.

One probably silly question:

There is no actual difference in menus weather you use this script or not is it? All commands are the same? Only by that mentioned AI life menu you can detect that MD MK2 is actually in game, right?

Is there possible compatibility issue with Smart Turrets ( v2.0 ) mod?

Yes.
I saw no reason to offer the bugged scripts as an alternative option.

Possible? Of course.
I never used that script.

So basically you don't know.

Just to inform you: people that do use them together say that they coexist fine
