Nope, that triggers in any fight you are having with zero fuel.

Hmm... Well it still might not trigger fast enough to make the event not work right. It should significantly reduce the player's LS still. Only problem is the STALEMATE text might not be consistent with the event.

See... What is "max_group"???

That will display only one of the choices that require that have the same requirement. Does not have so much to do with forcing blue options.

Ahhhh... Gotcha. Well that is some kind of improvement at least... Forcing blue options would have been useful though.

Only one system modify tag can take effect, so it would require custom event trees for each possible aug combination. These are already there for two augments, but a third one would swell the involved event trees a lot. Also each of these choices need to check your max reactor power to prevent crashes, meaning there has to be a second layer of choices between each of theses which does make the whole aug use way less streamlined. You wont be able to choose your combat aug immediately when the fight starts, instead you'll have to go through the double checks that verify your reactor each time.

Yeah, I don't really like the idea of combat augments using reactor power any more anyway. In fact after thinking about it I am against it for all the reasons I said in my last post. Since most of the augments are defensive, I realized, it wouldn't be nice for them to use up your power. :roll:

I will think of other ways to use refactor loss/limit/clear. ;) I like your ideas for it so far

Getting this error that's preventing me from patching:

Code: Select all

[AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR net.vhati.modmanager.core.ModUtilities - Error while validating mod: FTL Captains Edition 1.216b.ftl java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size (expected 53030 but got 53506 bytes)


tried redownloading the .ftl file, got:

Code: Select all

[AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR net.vhati.modmanager.core.ModUtilities - Error while validating mod: FTL Captains Edition 1.216b.ftl java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size (expected 75279 but got 75296 bytes)


Same error, but different expected and found values. Redownloading multiple times yields the same result, every time the expected and found sizes are different from each other and the last time.

Also tried redownloading SMM and verifying integrity of game cache, with no apparent effect on the problem.

First time modding FTL, clean Steam install, Windows 7 x64 etc.

I think the bounty hunter event needs to be nerfed. In its current state, it's almost impossible to defeat unless you have lanius/AI crew, boarders, a clone-bay, and some sort of protection against the fire-missile drones. The offensive combination rapidly suffocates any crew that don't happen to be killed by the boarder. It's very, very hard to survive that event and it feels too overpowered.

But that's the point!!! :lol: I've defeated it without any of those things. ;)

Just something I should have mentioned long ago, Slug Ship C's artillery doesn't work. When you purchase it, it doesn't show a description and will not charge if powered.

Yeah, I tested it and it works fine for me as well. Are all you mod components up to date?

Would it be too much of a bother to set up a SVN? It's somewhat time intensive to have to check and re-download the whole mod every few days, and I suppose that on your side too, uploading a new version of the mod on mediafire is somewhat of a chore...

Example of a mod using SVN :

So, I don't know why this is happening, if I'm doing something wrong (I probably am) or what, but whenever I use Slipstream to add the mods, it gets stuck on the Endless Loot Addon and just...stops there. I've let in run for over an hour before and I get nothing.
Here is my layout in Slipstream, everything should be the latest edition:
Better Planets and Backgrounds v1.3.1
FTL Captain's Edition 1.21
CE BPaB Compatability Patch 1.0
CE Infinite addon 1.21
EL Texture pack 1.0
CE Endless Loot addon for Infinite 1.0e
CE non-EL enemy loadouts addon 1.1
Beginning scrap advantage 1.1
Engi scrap advantage 1.1

All are checked when I choose "Patch"
