[3.1] Ultimate Scavenger AI Mod

[NoQ]

the game crashes when using the scavenger factory and trying to upgrade it. Also, I can't seem to build the buses and stuff nor the helicopters?

It's an AI mod, it's not supposed to allow playing for scavengers (are you using cheat mode to access them?) (try wz mini instead).

Just wanted to check if the following is caused by http://developer.wz2100.net/ticket/3684 ...

Code: Select all

I'll disable scav chopper factories on limits screen as mentioned in an earlier post, but just wanted to post the above log in case it contains anything new or useful.

[NoQ]

Most likely, "object not found in the list" is one typical trouble caused by that.
P.S. need feedback on the last comment in this bug ...

[aubergine]

You mean this comment? "The "psGroup->add(NULL);" call is completely equivalent to incrementing refCount. I don't see a reason not to do the same in js."

I'm not sure what that means in context of JS API...?

[NoQ]

It is explained above in the ticket, i mean i wanted Per or vexed to have a look again ...

Hello NoQ,
I'm triyng to load this ultimate mod together with your paradise tiles mod.
Wz is crashing:

Code: Select all

info    |01:43:50: [resGetDataFromHash:561] resGetDataFromHash: Unknown ID: fa447a5 Type: IMD
info    |01:43:50: [resGetDataFromHash:561] Assert in Warzone: frameresource.cpp:561 (psRes != __null), last script event: '<none>'
info    |01:43:50: [resGetData:577] resGetData: Unable to find data for rocket.PIE type IMD
info    |01:43:50: [resGetData:577] Assert in Warzone: frameresource.cpp:577 (data != __null), last script event: '<none>'
fatal   |01:43:50: [loadWeaponStats:689] Cannot find the weapon PIE for record *BabaRocket*

I merged the two modules together and wz stopped to crash.
But I want to integrate the paradise mod inside a map I'm making, and I want the map compatible with scav. mod.

Is there a way ?
1000thx in advance

[NoQ]

These mods conflict on piestats.wrf (paradise tileset includes palm tree pies), so it's not easy to integrate them. But it should be possible. I'd try to eliminate this file from the paradise tileset when i have time.

Where do i download it???

I don't need that, I want to use palms !!!!
Ouch, so is not possible to add new models and use it with another mod (like ultimate scavs.).

What about if I bundle uscavs and my modified version of paradise, inside my new map ?
Am I breaking some license ?
Is there some other kind of problem ?

Anyway, thx NoQ for the great work you put in our beloved game

[NoQ]

You aren't breaking any license (all my work is cc-0, which is pretty hard to violate), but you'd have to maintain all such maps you made, because they will break as often as the mod you bundled in (so they will start crashing the game after a few versions, and if you're not sure you'll be around to fix the mod inside, better don't do that). I've re-made the Mirage map twice already, despite it doesn't even have palm trees on it.

P.S. posted a simplified paradise v1.03 in the tileset thread.

[Galacticruler]

Love the mod man.
you should fix the nexus tank body for the scavengers though, it has the turret set IN the body, so, for example, you put a mortar on it, the shells would fly from inside the chassis.

[Giani]

Is it possible to make them to rebuild a defense that was destroyed and that was already placed in the map?

[NoQ]

I don't like this idea; a lot of code without any useful outcome.

I'd need to deal with situations like "a structure has been pre-placed but is not researched for scavengers" or "i've already built something nearby and if i try restoring the original structure it will block the way now".

Also, not sure scav walls will align properly ... anybody tried that? (:

[aubergine]

@NoQ: There's no way to choose wall (or any structure) alignment via the JS API so you are correct, rebuilding scav walls and corner towers would be a complete nightmare and likely go horribly wrong.

I've finally gotten around to merging NoQ's Ultimate Scavengers Mod into my Contingency Mod. While I've already imported the .pie files, textures, and such, I've yet to rebalance their stats for Contingency. Moreover, I may have to start splitting the mod up into multiple parts so as to get around that upload size limit (Edit: of 3MB per file).

Edit #2: Oh, and NoQ, if you've got any new resources that you'd like for me to add to Contingency, let me know about it, ok?
