It's the developer of the game, if i understood correctly

[Sean Mirrsen]

So, will we be making that mod or not?

I've had to install THREE different image editors before I finally got one that could handle indexed color. It seriously surprises me that serious drawing and editing programs like Corel's Painter and Paint Shop Pro can't handle this simple mode. PSP can posterize into index-like colors, but even the help file says "after you've saved your image in 32bits, open it with a program that can handle indexed color and save it in a format of your choice". Wtf, Corel?

Anyway. While I'm at it, slight retexture of the Rocklet Launcher, and a Skelegun:


The file.

It seems the modding forum has a lot of new actors and vehicles and guns and stuff, but I kinda want some good bunker modules. Anybody recommend any?

If you look through mod releases you'll see a couple bunker packs. I suggest Pete'n Lizard's Premade Bunkers and LastFormOfWit's pack of modules.

Yeah, I saw those. but I remember having more before I wiped my old CC folder. And there are kinda... eh. I remember there was a huge mappack that had a bunch of modules I could use, but it evades me now.

That is a gun that fires skeletons.

That is awesome.

Map Pack 3? They had some awesome modules in there.

I just wish they had done something about the ridiculously long content-loading at the beginning, and how it appears to get longer with higher program resolution, for some retarded reason.  That's really the only thing stopping me from downloading every mod in the world, I don't want the game to take half an hour to start up.

At least it doesn't hard-close if you have the audacity to hit Escape while at the menu screen anymore.

It's Morrowind again! At least in Morrowind only large packs really increase the load time.

Does anybody have a list of must-have mods for B24?
I really don't feel like scrounging around on the forums and trying to figure out which mods do/don't work with B24 if somebody else has already done so...

[Aqizzar]

So, in Skirmish mode, it says Destroy Enemy Brains, but I don't see any brains around.  Am I missing something?

Retarded rocket-AI invasions continue to be a comedy goldmine.

Most of the B23 mods work except for the maps since the way they're organized was changed.

TY.


Now that I've learned that, I've come to the conclusion that the best way to kill hostiles is to capture then sell them.

It's supposed to be played with two players. Although there is a little hack one could do that I haven't tested. There is a console command that switches teams of every entity on the map, so doors and units and brains will switch teams. Run that while setting the game up may provide something.

 To assist I shall dump the big list of console commands I kept.
 

Spoiler: Console Commands (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

Cortex Command Lua Strings :

-Send all actors of a set team in a set direction:
for victim in MovableMan.Actors do  if victim.Team==0 then  if victim.ClassName == "AHuman" or victim.ClassName == "ACrab" or victim.ClassName == "ACDropShip" or victim.ClassName == "ACRocket" then  victim.Vel=Vector(0,0)  end  end  end

(You can change the team from 0 to 1 if you want Green Actors to be affected by this rather than red actors. You may also remove one or more of the above victims to isolate the effect to a specific type of actor. Change the variables in parenthesis after ‘Vector’ to make the affected actors fly in a set direction.)

-Send all actors in a set direction:
for victim in MovableMan.Actors do  if victim.ClassName == "AHuman" or victim.ClassName == "ACrab" or victim.ClassName == "ACDropShip" or victim.ClassName == "ACRocket" then  victim.Vel=Vector(0,0)  end  end

(Again, you can remove one or more of the above victims to isolate the effect to a specific type of actor.)

or

-Send all actors in a set direction:
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do actor.Vel = Vector(0, 0) end

-Send all actors in a set direction:
for crabs in MovableMan.Actors do if crabs.ClassName == "ACrab" then crabs.Vel = Vector(0,-500); end end

(Change the type of actor and the actor preset name to another value to move different victims. You may also change the values in parenthesis after ‘Vector’ to change the direction the victims will be sent in)

-Spawn actors all over the map:
for i=1,50 do local crab = CreateACrab("Crab"); crab.Pos = Vector(SceneMan.Scene.Width * PosRand(),SceneMan.Scene.Height * PosRand()); MovableMan:AddActor(crab); end

(In the above example, crabs will be spawned. Change the type of actor (after ‘Create’) and the preset name of the actor in (“”) to get any actor you want. Be sure to also change the actor in parenthesis after ‘AddActor’)

-Gib all of a team’s actors:

for victim in MovableMan.Actors do  if victim.Team==0 then  if victim.ClassName == "AHuman" or victim.ClassName == "ACrab" or victim.ClassName == "ACDropShip" or victim.ClassName == "ACRocket" then  victim:GibThis()  end  end  end

(You can change the team from 0 to 1 if you want Green Actors to be affected by this rather than red actors. You may also remove one or more of the above victims to isolate the effect to a specific type of actor.)

-Gib all actors:
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do actor:GibThis() end

-Gib all actors of a set type and name:
for crabs in MovableMan.Actors do if crabs.ClassName == "ACrab" then crabs:GibThis(); end end

(Change the type of actor and the actor preset name to another value to gib different victims)

-Change all actors’ team:
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do actor.Team = 0 end

(You may also change the 0 to a 1 if you want every actor to become part of the Green team, and -1 to make them independent.)

-Rejuvenate all units of a set type and preset name:
for crabs in MovableMan.Actors do if crabs.ClassName == "ACrab" then print("Crab health: " .. crabs.Health); crabs.Health = crabs.Health + (100 - crabs.Health); end end

(Change the actor type and preset name to affect different actors. You may also change the health from 100 to another value if you wish to.)

-Create a dropship with a set actor in it:
local ship = CreateACDropShip("Drop Ship MK1"); local load = CreateACrab("Crab"); ship:AddInventoryItem(load); ship.Pos = Vector(SceneMan.Scene.Width * PosRand(),0); ship.Vel = Vector(0, 400); MovableMan:AddActor(ship);

(You may add more actors and change the actor type and preset name.)

-Go back to editing mode:
ActivityMan:GetActivity().ActivityState = Activity.EDITING

(Also resets the timer.)

-All actors get crushed by a set actor:
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do misl = CreateACRocket("Rocket MK1"); misl.Pos = Vector(actor.Pos.X, actor.Pos.Y - 500); misl.Vel = Vector(0,500); print(misl.Pos); MovableMan:AddActor(misl); end

(You may change the actor type and preset name to get a different actor to spawn.)

-Blow up 30 frag shells at controlled actor:
P = nil for i=0,30 do P = ActivityMan:GetActivity():GetControlledActor(0) i = CreateTDExplosive("Frag Shell") i.Pos =  P.Pos i.Vel = Vector(0,0) i.PinStrength = 2000 MovableMan:AddMO(i) i:GibThis() end;


-Blow up three grenades at every actor:
for P in MovableMan.Actors do for i=0,3 do i = CreateTDExplosive("Frag Grenade") i.Pos =  P.Pos i.Vel = Vector(0,0) i.PinStrength = 2000 MovableMan:AddMO(i) i:GibThis() end; end;

-Make junk appear everywhere on the map:
for i=1,200 do junk = CreateMOSRotating("Drop Ship Hull Gib E"); junk.Pos = Vector(SceneMan.Scene.Width * PosRand(), SceneMan.Scene.Height * PosRand()); MovableMan:AddParticle(junk); end

(You can also change the ‘E’ to A, B, C, D, F or G)

-Save all current lua strings:
ConsoleMan:SaveInputLog("myconsoleinput.txt")

-Save all current lua strings to a file:
ConsoleMan:SaveAllText("myconsoletext.txt")

-Change size of console:
ConsoleMan.ScreenSize = 0.5

-Hyperspeed for controlled actor:
SceneMan:AddSceneObject(ToSceneObject(ActivityMan:GetActivity():GetControlledActor(0)))

-Money
ActivityMan:GetActivity():SetTeamFunds(100000,0)

-Time
ActivityMan:GetActivity().ActivityState = Activity.EDITING
