I have downloaded and installed version 1.4. A great deal of work has gone into this mod, and I am really grateful.

I did notice, however, that the Dark Avatar GC2Types.xml file contains the "old" defense values. With the new DA beta, there are various changes to the

Stefan,

I have sent the edited GC2types file. Again, only the cost, mod, and absorption values are edited to match the DA beta file.

The mis-direction shots have been in the game, even without your mod. I have mentioned it, and seen it mentioned in other threads. Do not know when or if this will be fixed. I can't really pin-point the bug.

Thanks for your hard work!

My presumption is that as was noted in #48, this will not trip the Metaverse cheat codes. [But I have stopped submitting to the Metaversae anyway.]


Now... that *is* odd, as I've been submitting DA beta games with that version, and that really should trip the flag... unless the game is ignoring those values in meta for some reason? Hrmm...

don't worry, be happy that it causes no cheating flag: simple reason: my modded GC2types didn't changed the values, just added animation handling. so this is no cheat.

I think the game compares the values with a standard file and therefore no cheatflag, so be happy....

Hah, very clever. Do you have any thoughts to work around the disappearing when it's not showing the animation? And it looks like those turrets are billboarded right now, do you plan to use actual models if so?
Reply #69 Top
Hi kryo, thank you,

first: some main problems:

-disappearing is unavoidable, cause when the animation disappears(stops)
the turret does it too, cause its part of the animation

-billboarded turrets, its visible from all sides, so it causes an effect of 3 dimensionality. This is the best looking way cause models causes see-through effects what traces back to the shading of weapon animations, and thats unavoidable yet too...

but all in all, I try to do the best with the animation and beat myself next week, with a full Mod of these weapons =O)

Thank you

PS: scratch the beta, it's rubbish, I'm gonna upload a new beta in 11 hours, this one will fix all sound bugs recognized in the game (thanks to Director for mentioning them) and fix the major bug of 2.0 Beta 0.1 (wrong effect files)

and replaces the beam weapons (except Doomray) with new high detailed Weapons of version 2.0.
