« on: July 14, 2012, 11:23:22 pm »

Hi. I´m trying to use this armour in my regular game. Well, i want to do this armour a research from alien ligth armour and the nanocomposite armour a research from alien medium armour. I try frist to make a new armour from nanocomposites (coding) and i was succesfully, but not with advanced combat armour. I tryed to use this armour as a known technology from the begining of the game, but it dosen´t works.

There´s any problem with this armour? Thanks

Ok, sorry but i don´t understand very well. I am making a mod and i want to add a new armour. I have the armour (is based on nanocomposite armour image), but i don´t know how to do the research text files, i mean, description, pre research text and post-research text.

Thanks

Sorry for use this thread, but i don´t belive that is necessary open a new one for this question.

There is any importance to shot a enemy or a soldier from back or by side? I mean, the character is more weak from the sides or back? What about the head?

When will be released this armors and where i can download it, if isn´t finished yet? They are awesome!

And, how can i load them on the game? I´m playing 2.4 and in multiplayer, the CCCP don´t work.

Another question; why in multiplayer is the advanced combat armor available, but not in campaing?

Thanks

I classified my bases in: Headquartes (HQ), Airbase (AB), Manufacture base (MB) and Radar base (RB)

First one; Europe. I build it on Slovakia (HQ). I have my laboratories here.

Second one; Korea. This is an AB, for cover North America, Oceania, Asia, Russia and support Europe air wing (well, "wing" )

Third one. Poland. My MB. I build it very near the HQ, so, i can build a sam defensive pattern, using three SAM and the HQ SAM. I can defend my HQ, MB and the Ufo Yard with only three SAMs sites and my HQ defenses.

Fourth, Venezuela. Another AB. Cover entire american continent, Pacific and Atlantic. It can support the far west Europe.

Fifth. Australia. A radar base.

Six. Canada (west coast). Radar base.

Seven. Angola. Radar base.

Eight. India AB. I build it at the southest point of India. This is a support base to engage ufos flying Oceania, Africa and cover the Firebird flight from HQ to any point of Asia and Oceania. I have an empty large hangar here for the Firebird if i need run for cover.

In Antartica, i have an array of SAMs and one Radar. I catch  up many ufos here!

Discussion / Difficulty; alien shooting

I can see that the aliens don´t uses all the shooting types of their weapons. Is this a matter of difficulty? The AI makes snap shots everytime?

There are two major problems with RF:
#1: TUs for a shot comprise raising, aiming, triggering (==0) and reloading.
Of course this can be *very* different for different weapons. Think assault gun vs. RL. Those differences are NOT defined in the weapon scripts.
#2: oc aiming at a door where we expect an alien to come out would require almost 0 TUs to RF.
But what if the alien steps out of *another* door that is still in the viewing range of the shooter ??

That's why RF is like it is now...strictly according to TUs. Bare with me.

Well...

In my proposal, the differences between weapons comes with the TUs required. It´s supposed that a reaction with a machine gun will do because the shooter is in ready position. By the way, it´s irrelevant because the game do not make diferences between a suprising alien walking in front of a suprised soldier, or a waiting soldier.

If you are aiming at a door, and the alien comes from another, the TUs needed to face to the door must be added to the sum. If it is less than the TUs used by the alien, the soldier react.
