  • RE: New "Random Events" AND Roguelike-Mode Mod!

    Roguelike v19 is now released! This is all fixed, changes and additions from the experimental version:

    Cards are trades now

    Every card above Common raises one or more stats and nerfs a different stat in the same category. Which stat pays is rolled fresh every time the card is offered, and it is never a stat the card is raising.

    Rate of fire, range, speed and splash are worth roughly three times health, damage, projectile speed and build power, so a nerf on a valuable stat costs proportionally less. No card can charge more than 15 percent, whatever the roll. (Splash is never the rolled nerf)

    Note on this: Its not something like +10% health -10% damage. The buffs will always be higher than the nerfs.

    Classes (default off)

    62 classes, picked once, that change how every future card behaves or gives you buffs in other ways.

    Three modes: Earned offers them at 9:30 weighted by what you have taken, Chosen offers them at 0:20, Random just gives you one at the start of the game.

    Note: They are default off, as I am not 100% sure on the balance of them. I am fairly confident, but this was blocking me from pushing all the other changes and fixes so I thought I would simply have it default off. They work perfectly fine and are fine to use.

    Reset Picks

    A button at the bottom of the stats panel. Wipes every stat you have gained and hands back 75 percent of your picks, one offer at a time. Your class is kept. Usable as often as you like, but each use costs a quarter of what you hold. (Example: If you had 8 cards picked and reset, you will get 6 new picks offered)

    Other changes

    • Build power is now covering everything you own that builds, including mass extractors and radar, not just factories and engineers
    • Tactical missile launchers are now buffed like any other structure. Nuke silos, T3 artillery, the Scathis and the Novax satellite moved under Heavy Artillery (lobby option)
    • Category Affinity (default on): cards from a category you already have become more likely, up to double. Never guaranteed
    • Equal Rarities now has three settings: off, same rarities, or the exact same cards for everyone. Rerolls are also taken into account (So for example if player 1 rerolls, he will see new picks, and if player 2 also rerolls he will see the exact same with "same cards" and only the same rarity with "same rarities" enabled) @cychwa_klaymberg
    • Ground fire shows your real splash radius, including splash you were given (Fixed as reported by @machette )
    • New lobby options: Pick Cost Escalation and Pick Cost Ceiling let you tune how fast buying and mass-killed picks get more expensive
    • Card Downsides can be switched off entirely for pure upside (in case you want to go crazy with stats. I assume this will be useful in modded games)
    • Fixed: economy cards no longer reset RAS income on commanders
    • Fixed: Unbuilt units / Experimentals / buildings would get the HP buff applied while under construction and thus increasing the progress. Now buffs are only applied to completed units.
    • Removed: Large Buffs Increase Costs (lobby option)
    • Probably also other changes / fixes I forgot!

    Anyway, dont forget to only host on the newest version to prevent desyncs!

  • RE: Chat messages not showing in replays after chat window update

    The fix is already in fafdevelop to try out and see if you find any more issues

  • RE: Chat messages not showing in replays after chat window update

    Bug. 'can confirm.

    Thanks for pointing it out. It was raised as an issue on the PR, and will be fixed.

    Anyway it will be fixed as soon as a i merge the experimental version with the default version.

    Still, could you apply the changes to this mod as well? I like the current version as it is—except, of course, for the fact that cards of the same rarity don't work with the reroll.

    The changes from the experimental will be merged to the normal version. The biggest change for you will be how the negatives work. But you can disable negative effects via a lobby option

  • RE: New "Random Events" AND Roguelike-Mode Mod!

    If rerolls were enabled it could have happened. As i said, i forgot to account for rerolls because at the time of implementing this feature rerolls didnt exist yet. So if someone rerolled it ignored the "same rarity" setting and everyone had their own pool in that reroll.

    Anyway it will be fixed as soon as a i merge the experimental version with the default version. I expect this to be thursday. If you want to use the setting before then i recommend you disable rerolls

    Hi there!
    I’m writing about the Roguelike mod. Yesterday, we played a few games with the "Same Rarity" option enabled; afterwards, the guys shared what drops they’d received, and it turned out that the yellow cards had dropped differently for everyone...

    It only equalizes rarity, not the exact cards. So the legendaries (yellow) can ne different for everyone.
    Currently there is no setting to offer the EXACT same options. Personally i also dont see the point in that, but it can be added..

    Edit: The equal rarities didnt take rerolls into account. This will be fixed in the next version. Also a setting that gives everyone the exact same cards will be in the next version.

    I will probably merge the experimental changes into the "normal" version this week. Classes will be default disabled, even though i think they are fairly balanced now.
