TvG Official Mod - TotalVeterancy

[Cuddles]

I was using the mod in a COOP mission - Mind Games, lots of patrolling units around for long periods of time. I don't know what the level of the units was, i just teleported somewhere and died 5 seconds later.

I will give it a go again, maybe it makes sense that the enemy bases and units gets stronger the longer you leave them.

I was looking through my game.log while diagnosing an unrelated issue, and I saw a few warnings that are probably related to TvG. It's up to you if you want to fix them, but I'd appreciate it if you did.

Code: Select all

warning: *WARNING: Tried to apply a buff with an unknown affect type of Range for buff VeterancyPerkRange


It looks like the range perk is supposed to apply a 5% range increase, but it has no effect because uses "Range" as the Affects type instead of "MaxRadius".

warning: Error running lua script: ...gramdata\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\sim\unit.lua(4704): attempt to call field `IsInCombat' (a nil value)
         stack traceback:

This one showed up a lot. In the IsInCombat function in Unit.lua, you call oldUnit.IsInCombat, but I don't think the previous definition had a function by that name. If you're calling the original class's function for compatibility with another mod, maybe check if the function exists before calling it? Otherwise you could probably just remove that line.

This happened a few times at the beginning of a campaign mission. I think your function that modifies the blueprints doesn't set Economy.xpTimeStep for certain campaign-related units (civilian buildings, maybe?). The XPOverTime function in Unit.lua exits if there's not a value there, but the OnCreate function always tries to multiply it by 0.002, which causes the errors. The simplest solution is probably to move that math into the XPOverTime function.

Hello,

There is something weird going on with the sera ACU restoration field upgrade, it stops all regen in the area and gives no bonus.

Fixed.

If I move that into XPOverTime Function, then the units can't level up while idle. I will explore further into this to see if there are a different solution to that and the campaign-related units is pretty much meaningless.

Hello,

It might be due to extremely low health regeneration. I have boosted the overall health regeneration by 50% which should help make a difference.

TvG Official v1.31 is out! Happy TvGing!

upgrading RAS also removes previous e bonus and you no longer get any e bonus from vet. it's better to not upgrade ras.
