* "Lavastorm Mod" was originally created for Pumpkin's v.1.10 around 2000 by Stratadrake who also created PieSlicer, WZ Customizer Kit, and much of Mod v.1.12, incl mines.

Right that makes sense. Anyway forget that then, I did tell you I hadn't played it.

Do not understand me wrong, I think you are making great job on this mod,
but there some points, which are making this mod "unplayable" at the moment.
I'm talking about "skirmisch mode" !

1. After about 30-40 min. of playing, the game "stutters" like the hell, which makes playing impossible.
2. Units are refusing commands, which is the second biggest problem in the mod after the "stutter" problem.
3. Some buildings are simply build wrong, unlogic (factories, energy, etc.)
4. The resaerch tree is chaotic, I do not know, which unit does what.
5. There are too much units, which are attacking too fast and in masses, this kills the gameplay.

This is War.. One Reason, why i like the Mod. xD

Gameplay is: Setting up Base. Start researching. Create Units and rape your Enemies, because they think different ( :rolleyes: ).
I don't think "too" much Units are killing the Gameplay - it's just harder and more challenging. Small Groups are just too weak (to me though), specially when you set up huge Amounts of Bunkers - even at this Mod, they can barely get through it (but they can, I NOTICED).

Well, when you build the Modules, the Structures turn into the normal ones - too bad =[ Hope, you can create new Scavenger Structures to handle that or just put the normal Modules into/around them (at least the 4 Thingies around the normal Power Generator around the Scavenger Power Generator). And the Scavenger Buildings take the same Amount of Fields like the normal ones - bit unlogically, since they are smaller. Factory should only take 2x2 Fields (would be unlogically too, because Tanks, which are bigger than the Factory, can come out of it, but that's at the normal Warzone too )

3. Some buildings are simply build wrong, unlogic (factories, energy, etc.)

ok 1. this is maybe all right but not all is possible for us to do ; ).
2. scav buildings turn into normal ones... and? its not a scavenger mod or?^^
i think thats not a problem... you build your little scavenger base first and research it up to a normal base.
3. the 4-9 "thingies" are disabled coz its not possible to change them if a truck upgrade the building.
and scavenger buildings on the old "thingies" looks crap, i tested it.
4. same amount of fields coz you get maybe map load errors with dif. settings.
ok, i hope this is clear now : D.
better you say this is a good idea coz its my idea from ntw mod.
dont say crap, sh*t and so on (at this point) or you get backfire from evil delphi .
no, joke . as i said, its maybe all right but... yes.

I didn't write it as a Problem - you can post Wishes and Suggestions here too I would find it better (more logically), if they would stay Scavenger-Buildings, because the regular ones look much different and bigger, so it's not only an Upgrade, you build - it's a completely new Building and a too big Step for a simple "Upgrade", IMO. And if this Mod wouldn't contain a Scavenger-Mod, you were not able to build Scavenger-Things.

Huuuge black Energy Thingies xD - ye, i'm not english and don't know some Words

Ye, that may be (i didn't test ), but still unlogically as said in my first Quote.

I'm not that into those Programming-Things. If this isn't hardcoded or whatever, it should be able to be changed easily by changing the Settings-Files, i think.

Well. I write, what i think.

This is Life, isn't it? xD

sure it is. but if you change old buildings into others + change size then you might get map load errors.
coz a old map with old bases get problems with it (building overlap).

Okee, now i understood. Logically. EditWorld should load the Buildings and Units from the Files you specify (e.g. a Mod-File). Then you would only have to have the latest Game to have the latest Things for the Editor. Ah well, i'm sure, i'm not the only one, who knows, that EditWorld wasn't finished by far :rolleyes:

Very nice mode. works perfectly for me, no bugs, no crashes, it's great. i like it
