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)

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!

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.
