[New Mod-Tower Defense] Star Genesis 00

[FourFire]

I have now made an Ultra HardCore spawn frequency for 20 waves: http://paste.neurohack.com/view/YrDwB/

I don't know how to test it besides nagging RPC to impliment it, but I look forward to doing so all the same

[RPC]

You can replace the existing (lists) with your list in the <attack event. The mod should read those formally and the waves commence as usual. Ping me on IRC if it doesn't work or anything.

[FourFire]

I actually have no idea how to do what you are suggesting:
Is it somewhere inside the.tdb, and if so, how do I open it?
Is it something to do with the .xml version of the mod, in this case I don't have it...
Is there some other file or folder I need to edit, or create like say a list.xml ?

Anyway I want to test this so help is appreciated (I can try banging my head against the problem but honestly I probably won't manage unless it's rather simple)

How about a Orbital Defense station?
orbits around the planet, acts like a station with powerful long range attacks which you can dock on and upgrade it
sometimes im getting trouble at waves 9 and above, suddenly i see lots of projectiles coming to the station, so it could help a bit.

Okay, downloaded Star Genesis 00 yesterday, along with the Osaka, now I have a few questions about how these extensions work.

First off, I also have Corporate Command.

When I pick Stars of the Pilgrim to play, it lists Corporate Command and the Osaka as modules I can add.

When I pick Star Genesis 00, Corporate Command disappears, but The Osaka is still listed.

When I checkmark The Osaka, and start a new game of Star Genesis 00, the Osaka is not listed in the available player ships.

So, this brings up several questions for both George and RPC:

Why does the Osaka show up as a selectable mod for Star Genesis 00, if it's not an option when picking your player ship?

Why doesn't Corporate Command show up as an option?

With both of these questions, my interest is in how Transcendence works in this instance, how the modder writing an Adventure extension can control which mods/extensions are shown as available when picking the Adventure from the main menu, and why the above is happening (in regards to the programming of the extension(s)).

I'm interested in understanding how the control of what is presented to the player (both in selectable mods/modules/extensions in the Adventure selection screen for a new game, as well as the limiting of the available starting ships, even though the player included another player ship mod/extension) is accomplished.

(Sorry for rambling/repeating, but, I'm not sure how to word all this succinctly.)

while I can't answer all of your questions, I can answer one:

An extension can specify an adventure it requires. In the case of Corporate Command the TranscendenceExtension-element specifies the attribute 'extends' as "0x00200000" (which is the unid for the Stars of the Pilgrim adventure).
As far as I am aware, each extension can at most specify one adventure to extend and there is no method for an adventure to specify which extensions should be included.

As for why the Osaka does not show up? I have no idea.

Cheers,

Star Genesis is supposed to be a separate game mode unrelated to the core game Transcendence.

This means that using the osaka and other mods would probably end up with the player losing (which is why I disabled them).
They (Osaka and Corporate Command) show up on the Extensions simply because I don't know how to disable them from that screen (there might be a way but I haven't looked at it until now).

Is there supposed to be some kind of fancy ending after the eleventh wave? By the time I finished it I had so many stations that the game spent more time frozen than moving and I just gave up on it.

[RPC]

No fancy ending yet. After the final wave (currently the 20th) you get a "you win" message and the game ends. I still have a lot of content to add and more mechanics to polish but as it stands right now the game is still very skeletal.

[FourFire]

RPC I made an ultra hardcore mode of waves, I'll give you the .xml and you could add it in as an option in the mod if you like.

It has 20 (harder) waves with the last 5 involving many hard Ares ships, and Iocrym.

[RPC]

Sorry for the necro but I'm going to update this soon. Before I officially do though I want people's opinions on balance and stuff if they want to provide any.
