BlackOps 10.0 BETA!

[IceDreamer]

BETA TESTING ARRIVAL

Not much of a difference in the form, just an increase in how well the mod runs. I'm on the lookout for smaller bugs, typos in descriptions, oddities. You know, fit and finish, polish. Gotta make it nice and shiny.

The download procedure is the same as ever: https://github.com/aeoncleanse/Mods/tre ... p/BlackOps

Good (Bug)hunting!

I've got a question
Is the installing process the same as with the alpa Mod? =)

[SalvationKing0]

Which Branch of the GitHub thing am I supposed to download from: Master or develop/Blackops?

I have played a game now in Sandbox, during which the ACU was invisible and unable to move/reclaim.

[bsee]

Played a game with 5 player vs 2 AI. Used mods: Resource Rich, Anti Nuke Price v2, Experimental Shields for FA Seraphim v2 v1, plus the blackops mods. I can confirm all mods except blackops work fine together with no issues. However the game with blackops had bad desync issues. Blackops units worked about as I remember them, so that's good. Not sure if the replay will load because of the desync, but the UID is 5087796

There were no icons for blackops units. In a prior game when I tried to use BlackOps Global Icon Support Mod v5 we couldn't even get the regular in game UI to load. Hope this helps, and I'm looking forward to playing this again.

ACU doesn't spawn when using with COOP.

the icons works fine - for me

@SalvationKing0
thanks for the detailed reply.
Some issues as "- At beginning of game, ACU has all tech levels available." only appears if you use the wrong game version or you are using Black Ops Global Icon support.

Please use gameversion 3652+ (no vanilla or steam.)
And disable Black Ops Global Icon support.

I'm getting the "ACUs have everything available and don't actually spawn" issue. Using it through FAF.

I think I don't have the icon support on, but to be sure: where can I find it? I disabled all other mods, both game and UI. Also disabled the Blackops ACU mod, so just the main mod. I included the replay.log (that's the useful one in this case, right?)

[everywhere116]

Quick question, the "What's new" tab described the beta as if it was a single mod that we can just unpack and put in our mods folder, but it appears it's actually two mods plus a couple of .git files that I don't know what they do. Is it really two separate mods that are supposed to be activated simultaneously or do we put the entire folder labeled "Mod-develop-Blackops" into our mods folder and it will work as a single mod?
