FTL Captain's Edition 1.308/Inf 1.301b/EL 1.308

[Estel]

Events are generally just called when arriving at a beacon. But loading a saved game with the new safe features seems to sometimes call these events again (obviously not intended). It also seemed like the game then automatically selects the first event option. Because when I moved the "continue" option to the first position in the pre-combat events, that glitches disappeared for all of these. I think loading after an event will work correctly in any events that has the "continue" as its first option, but unfortunately that is not possible in all events.

Looks like alongside tons of goodies, AE brought-in some serious bugs. Could one of you, knowledgeable folks, report it all, properly, to developers, indicating how serious it is? Of course I mean not only that glitch, but the ones reported earlier, too I would do it myself, but I feel like lacking enough understanding of how it works (aka not being knowledgeable enough).

Also, do we have idea why radiation dummies aren't working? And, I asked earlier, but haven't got response - why there are only fighters now, when fleet catches with you? No more corvettes, destroyers, laser barges, and finally, Cruisers. Even on exit beacon.

Once, I meet (old type, missed them) artillery spotter on fleet controlled sector, but on exit beacons, it's always fighter and ABS, mandatory. It gets quite boring, after a while.

I hate for my first post on a forum to be "Your stuff's busted..", but in my case at least.... "Your stuff's busted"...
I loaded up Captain's Edition with Infinite and Endless Loot, leaving out the better planets mod, music and crews. The game loads up fine and upon starting a new game, I can see the stock Kestrel has received a new loadout. Trying to change from the Kestrel to any other ship or a different variant of the Kestrel causes a crash to desktop with no error messages. Tried several times to change ships, gave up and just went with the stock Kestrel, completed the first sector, got to the second sector and the starting beacon for the second sector had an event that spawned a rock ship to fight. Seems this rock ship also had stuff attributed to mods as it crashed the game to desktop upon me clicking "continue" and making it spawn to start the fight.

I've since uninstalled the mods and put it down to the crappy system that I play on, it's an old laptop with a failing hard drive that regularly causes BSoDs, can't even play FTL at a good framerate and makes the game run slower than it should, is 32bit and has integrated graphics. Likely the 32bit system of the lack of video memory in the integrated graphics has written off the ability to play these mods, but if not, I don't know where to find an error log either... If someone could point out where to find it, I'll add the mods back in and crash the game to produce a log.

Well, all I know is that my stuff works fine for me. Which version are you playing? The rock crash should be fixed with 1.201... The crew mod is also no longer supported. Maybe post your load order to see shed further light on what might be wrong.

Also, do we have idea why radiation dummies aren't working? And, I asked earlier, but haven't got response - why there are only fighters now, when fleet catches with you? No more corvettes, destroyers, laser barges, and finally, Cruisers. Even on exit beacon.

It might be caused by having rooms off-screen or having crew off-scrren or having this crew being unable to go to other parts of the ship. It might also be related to the fact that the dummies can not defend themselves but the player can not fire as well. There are some new anti-stalemate events that seem to constantly check these things and they might get quite confused by this setup. I have no clear idea what the exact cause of the problem there is though.

Hello,
I'm having abit of a issue. When i try to use SMM to install CE, it gets to installing EL 0.9 and the progress bar stops. I'm new to modding my FTL and any help would be appreciated. I have tried re-installing both SMM and my FTL. The order i put them in is as follows:
CE 1.2
Inf 1.2
EL 0.9
CE non-el loadouts 1.0

EL might cause this error for some people that run 32b system, there are just too many blueprints in EL for the SMM and Java to process. You might be able to make it work if you extend the memory your Java has available. If you google "extend Java headspace" then that should give you an idea how to do that. Otherwise you can run skip EL for now and that should work fine. I was told that there might be an update for SMM that will get arround this whole problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey there,

So the first run of ACE has been recorded.
No problems getting the mod to work, everything is working as it should as far as I can tell at least.

Just ran into one small problem

Probably just a missing texture or something.
That and a grammatical error.
Just want to congratulate you on the fine work you did getting this out as soon as you did.
And f*ck those doors to the missile launcher

[Sleeper Service]

Ah OK, I'll look into that. Do your remember if that was a pirate event?

Bad news: I broke my right hand and won't be able to play comfortably for a few weeks.

Promisingly good news: AE introduced a quest for unlocking the Fed Cruiser and, whaddayaknow, it involves fighting a stage 3 Rebel Flagship copy (Star Wars Ep VI?). What's so interesting about this? It uses the big enemy window, previously hardcodedly exclusive to the flagship boss fights. If you're able to get the big window to be used on other enemies, then you might be able to add some new enemy ship models that you had ruled out due to their size.

Hope you get well soon.

Unfortunately there is nothing in the event or the ship blueprints that give away how this fight forces the bigger enemy window. Seems to be hard coded.

Do you think there is any chance you could get infnite loot to support vanilla ship verson of CE and non-infinite verson? Cause I really can't seem to get some ships working at all with CE infinte and advanced edition, forexample Stealth Crusier C is allready hard to use, but with CE it loses it's only defense mechanism early, and requiers a system update in the drone sytem, this is allready hard in normal CE, but in CE infinite it's absurdly impossible. Maybe you should just give it 4 system levels from the start?
tl;dr
I request a :
Endless loot that does not need CE infinite verson and also support CE-Vanilla Ships (Edit: Figured that was only to install the vanilla ships after endless loot, but the upgrade costs are still the ones for CE infinite). (Only basic CE)
4th system level from the start on stealth crusier C
Possibly have an alternative CE-Infinite without increased system costs or maybe less-increased system costs (Yes I do realize this is quite unbalanced)
Also, I think Firewall protection has a type it says "Supra heated" at the start, I can't quite make sense from that.

Even then, this event has less restrictions than the real flagship fight - namely, you can call it outside the eighth sector, and it isn't tied to any flagship icon dwabbling around in the map, nor will it result in a federation victory after it's completed. So you might be able to play around with it. Maybe it accepts more randomisation than the real flagship battle.

[Sleeper Service]

Ooops, you are right. That loadout is not intended like that. Furtunately, you can have vanilla player ship loadouts immediately if you change your load order like this:

Code: Select all

|   Any non-ship not-CE-related mods you are using
|   Better Planets and Backgrounds
|   FTL Captain's Edition
|   CE BPaB Compatibility Patch
|   CE Additional Music Addon
|   CE Infinite Addon
|   CE Endless Loot Addon
|   CE Non-EL Enemy Loadouts Addon
|   CE Vanilla Player Ship Loadouts Addon
V   Any ship mods you are using

My mistske, I updated the loadorder in the OP as well... And I'll release an update soon that will fix that ship and some other stuff that was mentioned.

Regarding EL for regular CE:
I don't think that this is really feasible right now, cause yeah... it's just not very balanced. I'm not even entirely sure if the Enemy Vanilla Loadouts Addon actually works in that regard. It would also be a pain having to maintain even more little different submods, cause I have to implement any small changes I make in all of them separately. Thats no fun. Unless I figure out a subaddon that makes EL Infinite compatible with regular CE, which might be easiyer... I'll think about that...

True, something might be possible with that...
