Feedback: Today I had game crashes every time i tryed to initiate ground missions at any corvette crash site. Trying to isolate the problem, I finally found that running timeunitsfirst-revert.bat (unapplying the mod) the game crash no longer happens.

I will try to get one.

All weapons have a place nowadays. Can't breach with snipers, can't fight at medium-long range with shotguns. Assault rifles can do both well, but not like the others at it's own specific roles. There are some (important) details we only see with some game familiarity.

Note: I like to see how much people are willing to help here. Really. We don't see much of it around. Nice community.

This. To be sure, just give the shield 1000 hp and you will see that it still there after the shot but the soldier takes de shot like if it was fired from a uncovered angle, even if it was fired direct in front of the target. I think that the issue is something about angles.

Pressure, yes! How do you guys get that level modding? Damn, I suffer to just tweak some numbers! Years, right? I am a crawling baby...

Fixed version?

Also, try the experimental build (beta). Instructions here.

The shots pass through with NO SHIELD HIT (there is a specific yelow 'puff' over the shield when a shot hits it).

It seems interesting, but it digs so deep in the basis of the game that it takes some time for me to track the changes and decide what I like and what I don't. I have already downloaded the mod and I am looking at the files. I like to understand what I am dealing with and tweak things to my taste. I have no inclination to be a blind follower. In anything. I admire the tireless workers we see here, devs and modders, and respect them enough to be selective and use what deserves merit. I am looking Into Darkness. I want to be your partner in it. I must say that I watch the videos and I saw good things, but my first impression was that the ranges are too long and the units fire too much shots in a single turn. New weapons are cool but are going a little too much in the direction of 'too fancy to my taste'. I am a classic 35 guy. I will take a chat with TD when I know his work enough to give him a good feedback. We can chat via Steam too, Victor, in our home language, and trade ideas. Anyway, thanks for remember me. Um abraço!

Perfect.

Its not intended, shields should block as described, but I experience the same (shots through it) here with v22.9.

I notice something different indeed, but I am testing some personal tweaks now and so I am no playing that long to notice the overall improvement. Looks good, anyway.

That's ok, just to know. It is not easily moddable too, I guess.

+1 here, exactly the same: rocket + reactor + alien = crash.

Is it possible to link reaction fire just to relative initiatives between units, no other trigger? In other words: to make reaction fire occurs ALWAYS when the initiative from the unit taking action drops below the initiative of any enemy that has the acting unit within LOS? So, units can react to ANYTHING thats it see that have less initiative then itself.

It works now. Thanks.

I will try it now and let you know.

Translating, it says: 'assets' is not a internal or external command, an .exe or a .bat.

It just don't work for me: I run timeunitsfirst.bat and nothing happens. A DOS window shows for half a second and that's all. No game changes, no files created. The path is ...\assets\patches\timeunitsfirst.bat, right? I don't need to put it direct at the game root or assets folder, need I?

In the other hand, unconscious aliens don't count at soldiers stats ('x missions ... y kills'; nothing about capture). I think that the guy that manage to capture an alien alive, acomplishing main objectives, should receive a distinction; it's harder then just kill them.

I will test v22.9 a little more to see if it fixes the issue first. This priority increase indeed works for some games. Thanks!

Just saying: +1 brazilian with poor english here. Prazer em conhece-lo, Victor. kabill: I have unistalled the mod, even if I love it, because of the lag. I have a good gear here (I run Battlefield 4 with all graphics maxed, no lag), so it is not a hardware problem. Maybe it is a vanilla issue that comes to picture when you put some fire and smoke on the screen, but it is a fixable issue for sure, as the game itself is very light compared to it's generation standards.

I think shields should have an armor value, powerful shots (damage above the shield armor value) should transpasses the shield, degrade it, and the remaining damage should be aplied to the owner. I think that it could be implemented, as armor already behave like this. After totally degraded, it could be destroyed. Until then, I made combat shield's hp = 150 and assault shield's hp = 250, and made the cones 60º (100%) and 120º (60%).
