Expansion mod

[CaesarAug]

Maybe I’m doing something wrong. Or maybe the Alt-4-5-6 hotkeys are broken. Alt-a for manual control does work however.

In any case, if a carrier is in automatic fighter/bomber mode, which is the default DWU mode, and attacks a target, the fighters/bombers are automatically launched and attack as well.

So it’s ok. But there is something odd about manual attack that I can’t get to work as expected by the Bacon and Expansion Mods.

Thank you. I seem to have managed to manually attack a target with Alt-6 (but curiously with those fighters/bombers already launched). But Alt-5 does not seem to work as expected.

Note: the start-up screen does not read 2.1.1.1, it still reads 2.1.0.9.

The new message box has an typo error: can’t remember exactly right now but I think it’s “orbase” (instead of “or base”), or something similar.

Updated build with typo fix and version fix.

Alt+5(6) launch only bombers, if I haven't missed something. Alt+5 set attack for already flying and Alt+6 to all bombers (including fighter, but won't launch them)

[CaesarAug]

Great! Will play-test as soon as I can and let you know!

Yes! It seems to work now! In my previous testing, I only had fighters on board the carrier, no bombers! So I tried with a mix of fighters and bombers: Alt-4-5-6 all seem to work as designed!

Love this game! And Bacon and you have made it better!

Bug fix for multi threading error during resort build or rare processing moment

[CaesarAug]

Thanks for yet another update, Alvek!

By the way, I thought to ask…

I notice that with the Expansion Mod, eventually three boxes in the ship design screen are not default black but rather a light blue colour.
The same blue colour appears in other screens.

It is not really an issue, but I was curious about it. Not sure if it’s only my installation. Is it a bug or is it a design feature?

Screenshot: see the three blue-coloured boxes in Components, Ship Design, Weapons.
EDIT: I think this may originate with the Bacon Mod.

Probably from Bacon or from upgrading to newer net version

[Bloodly]

I've installed this, most recent version, full. Can't play standard, or most mods. They crash when I enter the ship build order screen. Only the 40K mod still works.

The error message is thus:

************** JIT Debugging **************

[Alvek]

I've installed this, most recent version, full. Can't play standard, or most mods. They crash when I enter the ship build order screen. Only the 40K mod still works.

I will check when I have time. It second time someone have problem with other mods and EM.
No problems before that, you started new game or loaded old save?

[Bloodly]

Always new games.

[Alvek]

Always new games.

Checked DW Universe-ST Picard Era, MOO3, Homeworld mods. Only Homeworld fails on game load due to old file structure.
What mods have you tried?

[Bloodly]

Standard, Picard, Warhammer, Master of Orion. It's not 'on load'. It's accessing the Build Order screen. Though those with custom maps also fail when trying to use them.

What playstyle you use? Only Ancient Galaxy fails with picard mod and only because it unload Picard and load Ancient Galaxy as mod

[Bloodly]

Standard Empire. Usually prewarp.

[Alvek]

Standard Empire. Usually prewarp.

Am confused, so you use Custom Game Standard empire or standard in age of shadows?

Edit: Nevermind, found bug. You need to exit game after switching theme, original game code have errors in theme switch. Maybe BaconMod code introduced some bugs, not sure.
It's old thing, as far as I know.

Yes, that could be it. You always need to close the game down and restart it every time you switch themes.
