Seiya Mods

Okay, new version up.

Shields are fixed. I had left something from testing in on accident so the ratio of the shield shouldnt change when it levels up.

Did some more optimizations. It will not change much with normal games, but in coop and singleplayer, it should help... a little. There is a one minute delay before anything starts leveling up.

SCUs are where they should have been on their scaling. They still level quicker than a normal unit, but slower than the ACU.

And that crash on the coop of Black day should not happen. Still not taking fault for it, but the fix was easy enough.

Where can I get hold of the Bouncer Shield ?

Where can I get hold of the Bouncer Shield ?

I havent released that one yet, there are two more bugs that I need to get worked out first.

One is easy (how to detect and fix it if a projectile has vectors of 0), and the other is taking a bit more decision making. What to do about beam weapons.

The first is because you will sometimes have a projectile that drops all of its directional information before I can snag it. That causes it to either just float in mid air doing nothing or fall through the shield very slowly. There are ways to fix both of them, I just have other things eating into my free time right now (like having a job again).

The second is not a programming problem per se, just one where I need to decide if I want to do it as beams damage the shield or beams pass through the shield. Neither is all that hard, just they do change how you use them.

What about a transport ship similar to the one in Total Annihilation? I think that would add alot of strategy to the game. Its not game breaking and might even be implementable to the core game. I'm not sure why Gas PoweredGames never put one in the game. Its not something new and would be very helpful in making land assaults by sea when you have totally lost the air game, but control the sea.

I will just re-quote myself from a few months ago :

I am just going to link my response from a similar thread from earlier this year.

It works by the way, but it has issues.

Looking for auto engineers. (would love for it to apply to engi stations someday) where do I download it?

I opened the FAF client, clicked vaults, clicked mods, typed "auto" and I don't see it. I only see three things.

This is kind of a hard reason to be posting here again, but my website will be going down in about a month. This means the location I have been hosting my mods will be going down as well. Not too happy about this at all.

If anyone has a place to they want/can host the mods, I will send you the files.

And just to be clear, the reason for this not something sad like, "I just dont want it anymore". No, it is because a medical problem is running me out of extra money right now. I am still very proud of the work I did on making a lot of early experimental mods for Supcom.

you can upload them to a file-hosting site so we can dl them and then they can make their way onto the faf wiki.

you could also specify or prepare a text to go with the mods and we can get a nice page running for you.

tbh i dont know much about these mods, are they faf compatible?

I am, in theory, working on mods again.

My first attempt was the bouncer shield. I can get it to bounce projectiles no problem, but I have been trying for, literally, years to get get a flat shield. I also worked on making the bounce work better than its current implementation. Yeah, that was a work in frustration. I know more now, but neither of those want to work.

So I moved on to trying to fix something in one of my oldest mods, the Advanced PD Turrets. One of them broke for some reason that I cannot figure out. The Aeon version will not fire a custom projectile.

I compared it to the UEF turret and nothing is different. They both should work.

I then pulled out all custom code and told it to use the standard T2 PD code in everything but its name. Still does not work.

INFO: seiya_at3_abyss:Abyss:CreateProjectile: no projectile blueprint, doing instahit instead.

This is one of the most annoying errors to get in the game. No feedback whatsoever, and even following the code projectiles use to get made, I cannot find where the BP is being lost.

Any help would be appreciated
