Charon

Okay, thx for replying and keeping it on your mind :).

Weapons which target missiles/torpedos, anti missile weapons or AM for short, produce a crash whenever 2 AM projectiles from the SAME Aircraft are in the game. This applys to 2 AM weapons equipted on the same aircraft as well as the shoot before the last AM projectile vanished or hit its targaet.

Any news ?

Any news ?

These are just developer items to test different things.

Ah, no, thats ok. Thats just my modloader and i have another version. In general this is just my modloader. You should have: XDivision 099 XDivision 099 Part2

N No version should crash anytime soon except: 1. You throw a stun grenade on a unconscious soldier, or a grenade in general on a unconscious soldier 2. You selected 2 Foxtrots which are from your starting base 3. You are in Phase 2, 300 - 700 ATP Please report bugs in a proper format: Do you have a clean install ? Is the modlaoder correctly adjusted ? What were the last things you did before the crash ? Was there an error report ? What does your logfile in C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Goldhawk Interactive\Xenonauts\internal say ? Did you read and apply everything I wrote in Things I want you to know ? Its in my signature. Here are the important things: "When switching between mods/installing new ones it is recommended to clear out/delete the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Goldhawk Interactive\Xenonauts\internal folder to make sure the appropriate scripts are loaded. At least until you know what you are doing. Dont have 2 XDivision mods at your mod directory, no matter the version differences, they bug the modloader in unknown ways." The Steam Group has all the information you need. The bug thread is called https://steamcommunity.com/groups/x_division/discussions/0/364042063117418555/. Although i would advice you to only apply the main game yet. Because there is not final bug fix downlaod available and you would have to go through the whole comment section to fetch every bug fix available. This is not something i intended and i will improve the system to a sinlge download, but its not done yet. As for now the main game should be playable.

I worked hard to raise the sound from 0.6 to 1.2 volume coefficience. This is mostly because some sounds are too weak to be able to hear for me and i really do love ambient sounds im comparasion to game music. I would really love if Grimpels continued with his mod, sound is one of the things which makes me fall in love with some games. The aforementioned crow sounds just epic to me, like sitting on a roof, laughing at your efforts and not shutting up even if you want it to. Really eerie. Interested in Part 2 and 3 ? It will take a while i guess until i can upload them anywhere though atm. Its just cleaning up and captureing aliens but the twist at the end is quite remarkable.

627mb confirmed and worked.

Although this is exactly why its hard to to further develope a game into the ultra best state. It simply costs too much zots, with too much risk at hand. You cant make the best game possible if you have to think on how you will feed your family. You have to make predictable steps to with a certain amount of ressources and a predictable goal which leads to predictable game with an predictable income. The outcome is is somewhat predictable, but mods dont give you any predictable money/none at all. A good example is Rome 2. Why did the developers make it ? They were game developers and needed to feed their family. Thats their job. So they decided to make a modern game which will net them a predictable income. On the other hand we have Roma surrectum 2 the best Roman Total war mod/game ever created. Roma surrectum 2 is infinitely better than Rome 2, as a game you want to play and inverse yourself in, comparing to a game which delivers you a mostly hollow experience with fancy graphics. They almost made every single feature worse than it was before. Why ? Because it needs some serious work to deliver the same experience on a new platform. Some ballons became just what they are now because better versions need too much air and it was not deemed cost efficient to pump more into that balloon which other ballons needed to ship the whole product. A few words on Roma Surrectum 2. Its an incredible game on a dying platoform with no support in the future. The engine can only use single core which limits all future plans to zilch. Just like the settlers 4, it calls on specific hardware components which might not be available in the furture and have to be emulated to keep the game properly running. Is it the better game ? Undoubtly. Is it the better financial choice ? No, it would be a horrible choice for a game developer who needs to think how to feed himself and the people under his care. It would be like putting money on a sinking ship. You know its going to sink, you just dont know when. But i wouldnt even buy Rome 2 if someone would give me the money for it, its not worth my time. This is the outcome of the system game developing is in today. Sometimes i think games are just there to feed a money cycle to further our technological advances. Software and Hardware have an incredible short half-life period. Take a look on emulateing older hardware components will tell you why. To accurately emulate a 300 mghz hardware you need more than 3 ghz, and even that is not enough. Emulators explained.odt This is the reason why i support inconditional basic income and paying money on things you are actually playing, not buying and never touch it again. Thats a long walk until we are there. So do i understand that Xenonauts 2 is the better financial choice as a game developer who needs money to live and eat ? Undoubtly, but because the system of game developing forces developers to it. Playing X-Com in a MSDOS box doesnt put money ijn a cycle where people can actually feed themselve. This is true to most free software programs out there. They are developed by people who think that software is something useful but are ditched by a developer team that have to think about an predictable income source. All software needs adjustements over time and even redevelopment to stay on top of changing soft and hardware components. If no money is put into it they will be forgotten quicker than myspace accounts. Do i think that mods will undoubtly produce better games ? Yes, because they can inflate balloons with air they provide themselve and polish them to a degree which a team which has to think about a budget can not. This is ultiamtely also the main problem. No money gain from mods = no future for the mod. No redevelopment. No nothing. Good games are rotting on the software graveyard because they are not believed to produce a positive money evaluation. And the software and harware windmill presses on and on, new and changed things everyday, and the guinea pig runs and runs a bit more in the treadmill. Game developing is like riding a wave. You have to enjoy it while it lasts, take care of bigger waves from behind, and there are also times without waves. But maybe we can change that attitude of thinking.

@Max_Caine well spoken and explained.

The pictures are still reappearing again.

Thx, i appreciate it.

Hey Solver, drages wants to marry you, just say yes please, so we can get this over with and out of my thread.

50 MEMBERs IN THE STEAM GROUP ! Terror 3 Part 1.flv - removed, its now avaiable on youtube - Charon I think ill upload all parts to yotube, if the need arises. @Solver This video has 627mb. Is that alright ? I will take it down if you want to. I was trying out if this is working and how it functions, unfortunately there is not a "view in browser" thing.

K, good to know, thx solver.

Wait, so this means that the <Ticker> sets the weapons UNTIL that ATP ? I thought it to be the other way around, they start to have those weapons at this point with an degrading chance to value="inf". Good to know. So chances dont degrade in any way and are always absolute ?

X-Division: aircraftweapons.xml items.xml New Airgame: aircraftweapons.xml items.xml The only item i added was AV.SCATTERTEST in both files in New Airgame

I´ve also confiremd right now that the items.xml, which is a spreadsheet as well, functions as expected. The new item is available, just not for the aircraft.

But not aircraftweaopns.xml spreadsheet merging. We know that spreadsheet merging should function: I´ve just confirmed teh bug again: 1. Copy and paste aircaftweapons.xml and items.xml into a new mod 2. C&P a weapon and change it to: AV.TEST in both files. Set the new item to unlimited 3. change the picture for the existing autocannon Result: the picture gets taken but the new weapon not. No modmerge error anywhere. Could you try this and report back i would really love to know that the bug is on our side, thank you :):

look below Yes, you are right it works as long the as the xml sheets "update"s existing weapons :). The problem is this: You could make 2 mini exemplary mods with only modinfo and aircraftweapons and try to add new weapons in the higher priority mod and see if it works for yourself, and share it if it works. I hope the mistake is on our side.

Jup, thats what i´m saying. Looks like the modmerge system never worked for xml spreadsheets in the first place !!! Disclamaimer !!! the following evil song is only meant for ENTERTAINMENT and its not meant personal, just an expression on how people and I might feel in some way !!! Disclaimer End !!! No one knows what its like to be a moooooodder to work with XCE Behind blue eyes No one knows what its like To post threads to be fated to telling only thrice But my dreeeams they arent as empty as the answers seems to be I have hours, only lonely spend with files that never work No one knows what its like to feel these feelings Like i do, and i thank you No one asks back as hard on their dreeeeam None of my broes can show through But my dreeeeeams they arent as empty As the answers seems to be I have hours, only lonely spend with files that never work Discover X.C.E. System (4x) No one knows what its like to be misunderstood and enlighted Behind blue eyes No one knows what to say about the merging system but i dont worry Im not telling lies But my dreeeams they arent as empty as the answers seem to be I have hours, only lonely spend with files that never merge No one knows what its like to be a mooooodder to work with XCE Behind blue eyes

@Max_Caine I doesnt matter if you use excel or not im clearly useing a text editor here: but its ok, seems like nobody knows something about this :). We are on VIRGIN lands !!! ... Somehow. Edit: @llunak help ?
