Planning for the 7th Transcendence succession game

[PM]

An apparent newcomer uploaded a new ship to Xelerus, and it looks promising. If I like it enough, I will add the stats it needs to be PSD-compatible.

I am still working on DrakeTech and Items912, and should finish them in a day or two, then I will fix a few more mods like the Wizard auton and look at PSD stuff.

EDIT - Taking more time than anticipated; still not done with DrakeTech/Items912, let alone other mods that need an update to 1.3 like PSD.

[RPC]

Some more oddities from the GCWeapons mod:

Are these normally sold?

btw, thank you for finding the mispelling errors in WE6 ammunitions file, I fixed them on my main trunk too.

Updated Dynamic Systems and planning on updating utility items as well

[RPC]

Updated Utility Items today.
Also, I was looking through the TODO of the last succession and paper fleet dockscreens are borked, have you fixed that TVR?

[TVR]

-Slowly updating to 1.3
-Fixed GC Weapons dockscreens
-Fixed Raisu station debug message
-Added more mods

@digdug

Nice. Was wondering if anyone would notice those changes.

@RPC

Downloading and mixing in the update. Will test for fixes.

Yes, the sell screen in Alcurean Paper Fleet V2 was fixed. Check either version of the modpack.

TODO
-Fix DySys friendly corsairs
-Fix nwiSwitchShield
-Fix "Mining Pack" select ore to smelt bug
-Finish mixing "New Wingmen - Arco Vaughn", "Companion Framework" and "Upgraded Wingmen"
-Make "GC Weapons" even more interesting
-Update "AE Ships Beta"
-Update "Utility Items"
-More mixing with "StelliFer Labs" and "Weapon Graphics"
-Hold vote on dates, mods and various gameplay settings
-Start

[PM]

Finally made some progress on my mods. I should have updates ready to upload in about a week.

[TVR]

-Updated all mods to 1.3
-Added toggle option for "ODM Alarm System" (Disabled by default)
-Fixed (nwiSwitchWeapon) error
-Ported adjustable looting criteria from "Take All" to Dash Merc's Rotolooter in "Utility Items" by request
-Added hacking minigame to "Interstellar Communication"
-Added CFW events for Arco Vaughn
-Added more mods

We are ready to go after the next PSD update. Once that's ready, I will post both the complete mod pack and hold a 2-phase, one week vote to veto mods and select gameplay options.

Succession ETA: July 16

@PM

Is there any way to overwrite default ship maneuver settings? Ship definitions from 1.1 do not have a default acceleration value and are effectively incompatible with 120 facing NPCs.

TODO
-Update PSD: AE Playerships Beta
-Update PSD
-Fix WE randomizer error message: Overlay OnUpdate: Unable to find specified item in object. ### (shpInstallDevice ship itm) ### []: Unable to find specified item in object. ### (shpInstallDevice ship itm) ###
-Add appropriate effect to Hell Blaster

[digdug]

-Fix WE randomizer error message: Overlay OnUpdate: Unable to find specified item in object. ### (shpInstallDevice ship itm) ### []: Unable to find specified item in object. ### (shpInstallDevice ship itm) ###

Very worrisome. By the time the Overlay code actually installs the weapon, it already passed throught a couple of safety checks, including the reinstallation of the original weapon, and it that fails, the installation of a simple laser. (which was occurring in past versions, and never saw it since 1.1 or so)

I'll have a look. Could it be possible that another mod is tinkering with the cargo of the ships, while WE6 is doing uninstallation/reinstallation of weapons ?
If not, could it be a modded ship causing troubles to my poor coding ?

[PM]

Looks like I did not upload updates as promised. Had a couple days when I had minimal free time to work on mods. Still working on updates and experimenting with ideas. I will try to have something ready before the 16th.

[RPC]

Add this mod to the list as well
http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=1432

[FourFire]

Neat armor graphics, now if only we could edit the mods which add armor and weapons so that they dynamically use these graphics for their variants of vanilla items if this mod isp resent, otherwise they default.

[digdug]

Add this mod to the list as well
http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=1432

awesome graphics !
but

-More mixing with "StelliFer Labs" and "Weapon Graphics"

wouldn't it clash with Siafu's graphics ?

[TVR]

Wait, there's no support for multiple polls?

Will have reformat the poll.

EDIT: We have more mods than options allowed in the poll. May have to hold the poll as a text vote.
