thats good.
because, regular patrols rarely can spot pirate guild or khaak station

remote areas and strange locations is where they should be

When can we expect the next update?

And I know it would probably be better to ask him directly, but how long does it usually take apply the changes to Jack's version after you've released the main IR update?

IR:CE and IR are diverging rapidly as the release of x-timelines draws closer

Meaning, Updates to the standard IR are only applied to IR:CE on a critical game breaking basis - any other changes are written down for later, if they are required

Its no longer a simple copy and paste operation.

within days
I can release it even today if you really want, it works, yet its not checked

not many of you know, but IR has and always had an option to deploy user-owned hikari lasertower arrays. The requirement for it was
software signature scrambler' installed on ship. I just changed it to 'transporter device'. SInce hikari are meant to be used when played on Yaki side, i must yet to add this signature scrambler to hikari variant deployment, and allow other types of arrays to be deployed when not installed. Or maybe allow hikari to be deployed only from Yaki-made ships?

15.25 released

grimfear · Post by **grimfear** » Mon, 4. Jul 11, 12:57

this is the first mod I have installed. I got to where it says to use the community confiuration menu or Al option to enable the races wars.
What/were are these?

also I played around for a while to see if the mod was working, I thought that when you buy ships it takes a while for them to be built? but when I buy a ship it is ready stright away.

I am using an existing save to play the mod with.

Thanks

this means that you have not finished installation, script is not working yet

go to Gameplay->AL settings

find improved races and switch it to 'YES"

then come two useful shortcuts you must set
first is 'community configuration', it gives common interface to different scripts, and this one also uses it.

shortcuts can be set in game->configuration->interface (at bottom)

you need shotcuts for 'community configuration menu' (usually shift+F10 for me) and 'improved races comm' (F10 is convinient for me)

now, after setting shortcuts, you finally can enable plugin itself
press either of those 2 buttons and pick 'improved races configuration'

enable what you want and press 'restart'. Options have descriptions so you will know what you are enabling

do not enable 'yaki LT array' and 'yaki aodeon' as they are probably broken as for now

sounds complicated but only at beginning

have fun

thanks,

but I still dont know what this is "go to Gameplay->AL settings "

I have the x plugin manager but I take it I need something else?

In the game hit Esc - a little menu opens in the bottom left, select Gameplay and then click Artificial Life Settings (or possibly AL settings I can't remember). Set improved races to yes.

Then quit all the screens back to game then press Esc to bring up the menu again, select Controls. Down the bottom of the Interface tab set hotkeys for the two that djrygar said - 'community configuration menu' and 'improved races comm'.

There still seems to be a problem with the ATF. Generally there should be about 2 or 3 ATF fleets going into Xenon space, but I counted at least 5. The fleet shows up for a limited time on the T.A.N. (Tactical Alliance Network) before disappearing. The fleet remains though and it continues to it's destination, but IR thinks the fleet was destroyed so it creates another one to replace it and then the same thing happens again. This results in a huge buildup of ATF ships heading into Xenon space. Just in Xenon Sector 598 I've counted 9 Tyr's, 5 Woden's, 7 Odin's, 7 Skimir's, 2 Kvasir's, 2 Ageir's, and numerous M6's. This only happens with the ATF. No other race has this problem.

Just turn ATF counterstrikes off. Its not worth the trouble. This is a known issue.

I did. It just sucks though. The ATF used to work perfectly in v15.22 for me.

Is it possible to turn off Khaak "fragmentation"? aka when I kill M2 it break to smaller M6 etc.

djrygar · Post by **djrygar** » Tue, 5. Jul 11, 16:33

not possible. Err.,, possible, but I wont do that

i removed fragmentation from all ships, the ony one that left is carrier, Khaak station and. And Im not sure about guardian and queen

all the rest dies normally

i think i finally found way to limit ATF counterstrikes. PRoblem with those is that when you see massive ATF fleet, they most likely are 2 or 3 fleets togeter flying in same direction (but you may check their targets, they are different)

anyway, 15.27 will have ATF fixed

lich83 · Post by **lich83** » Tue, 5. Jul 11, 21:18

Hoho 15.27, thank you for continuing this script! I really cant imagine playing without it. Thank you.

That was exactly what I was seeing with the ATF. Have you had a chance to take a look at the sector takeover logic? So far, once a sector is taken over it doesn't seem to go back to it's original owner when that owner retakes the sector.

djrygar · Post by **djrygar** » Wed, 6. Jul 11, 07:35

ATF fix is working good

sa for takeovers... not really sure. I must see this myself, orherwise its impossible to track down

show me your empire manager window

you probably not enabled taxes on factories
and probably youre loosing lots of notoriety because of that

edit:
anyone knows.. any pirate/argon/yaki ships that can install terran missiles?
if yes... here we have reason for yaki/argon factories producing terran goods...
