Aralez Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 As soon as i have completed the final tests i will upload BlackAlmaz' new version of the combomod! I will add the Ethereal and the Human raiders from Fulby, the flare (and the two flare-grenades for the MiniLauncher and the M79) will do a short stun damage now, several new weapon-models will be included and some bugs were removed. If the test are succesful, you will maybe see a Full-auto setting for some weapons, but i have to take a look there first, BA only told me about it, i didn't test it yet. I will also include a readme A new one, more readable than my last ones... Oh remember the enemy has the flareweapons, too I will also try to make the heavy weapons (BFG, Lurkergun etc.) in the alien loadout appear less often. The ethereal will be immune to PSI-attacks and mostly carry psi-weapons. I think i will be finished around 10-11 pm CET today, keep your fingers crossed!

Aralez Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Gimme the Magnum, yeah baby! I kept the Human Raiders as Fulby made them, i don't know how hard they'll be. I playtested ~20 missions, had no bugs. (Except at the start a typo from me and one from you). In that 20 missions i encountered no Human raiders, but some Ethereals and Spec-ops. Everything should work now. I will send you the changed files asap. Btw, i used the first listofweapons.txt, was that ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aralez Posted October 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I used the one you did send with the original name, not the "Copy of..." one. So no need to be worried.And yes, there was a bug with the G41, but i found it during playtesting, don't worry, i tested every new model I also made a funny typo and thought it was a bug i wanted to change the aim-time for the flare to 1.5 and changed it to 15 ! I really wondered why the weapon wouldn't work anymore.... Again: Don't worry, it's corrected I also made the BFG, Lurkerguns etc in alien hands VERY rare, but still i somehow managed to encounter an Ethereal with a BFG9000 in my last mission Bad luck...

Lurker Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 With ComboMod 2 and ComboMod 3, if I am offered more than two new missions while my chopper is on the way to a mission, I get a Stalkwalk 6 Error at 30 percent while loading the tactical mission. If I can seem to be lucky enough not to have all those new missions offered while on my way to a tactical mission, then I don't get the Stalkwalk 6 error. It's basically a crash to desktop. That's part of the reason why I gave up so quickly on the ComboMod2. I get the same error with ComboMod 3, but I did manage to finally get a tactical mission to load without giving me the Stalkwalk 6 Error, and the SpecOps dudes eliminated my team in short order. Definitely need to go in ready to throw grenades right from the start, and maybe have a dedicated person running a medipack all the time. I do need new tactics. When you toss a flare, they are stunned and then disappear for a few seconds, and then they reappear and start shooting. It's kind of weird to have the enemy go invisible. What else from my first mission with the ComboMod 3? Oh, the only mod I'm running with is ComboMod3 mod. The gamedata.vfs and launcherdata.vfs are the only other vfs files in the UFO Aftermath folder. I have been running the English Version 1.4 of UFO Aftermath and Windows XP Service Pack 2 since before trying ComboMod2, and I'm sure that as usual, I'm the only one on the planet getting Stalkwalk errors with the ComboMods. I have about got a new team put together, Wesson, Secto, and Cyborg Female. Now if I can just get a Muton with some armor, I might be ready to try a new tactic against the SpecOps. Oh yes, I just remembered my question. There are still Reticulans in the ComboMod game later on, aren't there? I guess I was hoping that the Reticulans haven't been completely replaced by the SpecOps, as I like the Reticulan's skinny little butts, as O'Neill in Stargate would say. -- Edit: Second Tactical mission, I went in with the Muton and Wesson, Secto, and Female Cyborg and a grenade and flare loadout. They had Barrett sniper rifle, other sniper rifle, and neostead in the SpecOps among other goodies. I fought to a draw, one of my guys left and one of theirs, and it offered to end, so I ended. I might replay that one and try to use cover better. It was a city mission, which gives you cover, and with cover, I might be able to win without losing anyone. I started ComboMod with Hard and Europe. It's definitely a different experience. A bit more challenging than the original plain vanilla Aftermath at the Hard setting. I think those spec ops dudes have the power to make me "nervous", as Aralez is fond of saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Well, as long as it doesn't give me more than two missions while my chopper is flying to location, so far I don't seem to get the Stalkwalk error during the loading of the tactical mission. I like the ComboMod3. I went back in and used grenades and used cover better, and this time I took the SpecOps completely out and only ended up with one guy in the hospital, with three still alive and ready to go. The ComboMod3 definitely does propel you into using new ideas and tactics. There's more to try as well. During the first five missions or so, I don't see how you can win the wilderness missions against the SpecOps, but you can win against them if you are in a city and can use cover and lob grenades from behind cover. So far, IT IS AS IT SHOULD BE, the right balance. And, now I have a whole bunch of new weapons to try including a couple of the Barrett 82 Sniper Rifles that have been taking my guys out from long distance. With a couple of those on my soldiers, the SpecOps won't be as quick to rush me. They might retreat a bit more often, which of course will change the dynamic of the game. Something new each time you play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
