[MOD] Improved Missiles v2.8 | 7 NEW Missiletypes added | [2.50 release]

[iforgotmysocks]

Fight Reloaded Version uploaded! Might get updated very soon. ^^

Don't worrie, updates which don't add aditional missiletypes work on existing savegames.
You also should be able to update the regular version to Fight Reloaded on an existing save.

Nice to see you got the slow missiles working, as well as DoT missiles. Looks like fun, can't wait for the FR version

Noope, you missunderstood. They are just slow.
The missiles which are going to be able to slow down other ships are still in work. ^^ Didn't find out how to do that yet.

Ahh, my mistake, good luck getting that worked out. I've been messing around looking at the game files and trying to get a general idea of what's going on, when I feel more motivated I might try taking a stab at modding myself.

Awesome, some point soon I'll probably start up a new game (after taking a break as I've already abandoned my old save), can't wait to give it a shot (literally lol)

Give it a try. It's not that difficult to get started. ^^
The community really needs more modders!

you didnt mentoin yet that i developed a method to add and remove things from existing Savegames at will for clean installing/uninstalling Mods your case is an even better testing scenario than the mod i updated with that method because there are less uncertainities

Because i didn't try it yet and i don't know if it works as i want it to work. ;p
I don't like to make promises, which i can't keep.

for this mod it will certainly work since you dont add Ship parts or at least can guarantee the Ship iyou change exists only one time so even if there are unique component-IDs invovled you can just think some up because they will stay unique

New in v2.4:
- Fixed Termites not applying damage in various situations
- Fixed Lightnings not erasing the whole shield amount when fired on an object with low shields
(Remember, 2.4 does NOT need a new gamestart, just remove the old folder and add the new one.)

[Thurmonator]

I have 2.4 and I can buy the missiles, but they do not show up in my missile window when I'm scrolling trough my missiles in the cockpit.

Im using the fight reloaded version.

It said it had initialized it onscreen when I installed it.

but like I said, no missiles show up after I buy them.

Am I missing something?

Did you start a new game with 2.3 or 2.4?

[Thurmonator]

Oh I get it now that you have to start a new game with 2.3. I did not. I thought it was fixed for existing save games.

[euclid]

That's a nice mod iforgotmysocks

Suggestion: Please implement an increased missile storage/launcher capacity for the Skunk.

grr I can't understand a damn thing of those laser textures. I've digged through all stupid GZ files and nothing even closely resembling a laser.

Sadly not yet. ^^

Hmm, it never really crossed my mind since the skunk has a large storage for missiles...
I'll think about it.

Thanks.

I don' think i can help there.
And you've got the wrong thread. ^.^

Hi There. Great mod by the way. I don't use any game standard missiles any more, I just use yours. One thing, I really like the termite missile but I want to be able to increase the duration time to increase the range. Can you tell me inside which file I can change this. Thank you.

[Blackb1rd0]

Bumping. I would really like to know how to do this. Thanks

[iforgotmysocks]

No need for that. Would have answered anyway.
Just came home. ^^

In the modfolder, open up:
md -> Improved_Missiles_Main.xml
Line 23 - 25:

Code: Select all

<set_value name="$termiteDamage" exact="7500"/>
<set_value name="$termiteDamageTicks" exact="5"/>
<set_value name="$termiteDamageTicksTime" exact="0.7s"/>

Contains what you're looking for. But i need to warn you, termites are quite op already, i was too lazy to rewrite the damage calculation.
It's too simple atm, thats why it inflicts too much damage to bigger ships.
Increasing the ticks and lowering the damage still makes them more op against bigger ships. Just increasing the ticktime is actually a good idea.

I'll rewrite it once i've some spare time.

[Blackb1rd0]

Hey thanks for this. In the update section I saw a line pointing to the duration time. Is this not used. I did change the value but could see no change in the game

[Blackb1rd0]

Sorry for the bit above. This is section I refer to
<show_notification comment="'Targetstuff'" details="'2.c targetAct ' + @$launchListTermite.{1}" timeout="12.5s" chance="$dC"/>
You can see I changed it to 12.5s but it did nothing.
Thanks

Congratulations, you changed the duration of a notification which was created for debugging purposes. ^^

I posted you the lines.
The one you are looking for is

Code: Select all

<set_value name="$termiteDamageTicksTime" exact="0.7s"/> 

which sets the duration of one damage tick.
Right now the enemy will lose hp every 0.7 seconds for 5 times.
