@mrphalanx said in BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed only for FAF v24:
And also just one question. Who manage the Extreme/Xtreme Wars MOD? Because for me that's also a staple MOD, but now it seems a little broken, as I noticed, a few units not working well, I think mostly Cybran ones (I always play with UEF, but the CPU Cybrans still using a few units what not working properly...). Even a few other users wrote down the same problem in the MODS review tab...
These are the Mods that Uveso is so graciously maintaining to keep working with the updates to FAF:

Hello friends!
We've been back playing Blackops after some time, and while it appears the last few patches have been kind to it, we have found one thing that has broken at some point -- Torpedoes do not seem to be hitting several UEF oceanic BlackOps-only units.
The two we've found are:
BES 0402 - UEF Dreadnought
EEB 0402 - UEF Philadelphia Stellar Generator (when built on water, obv.)As you can see in the attach, torpedos from all manner of naval ships do not seem to hit either of these units, and just circle around. VERY rarely, a torpedo will land, but we're talking 8 minutes of heavy concentrated fire to finally take down the dreadnought.
I'm not sure which patch may have broken it, but it will be one of the more recent ones. This was not a problem the last time we were actively playing BlackOps.
Also food for thought -- The other UEF BlackOps boats are not affected (EES0302 - Knox Escort boat) and neither is the other BlackOps wter-buildable structure (BEB5205 T3 advanced Air Staging).
Thanks in advance, as always.
@Uveso, @Jip

I should have also added, the Cybran and Seraphim BlackOps Dreadnought experimentals (and the BlackOps rework of the Aeon Tempest) all take torpedo fire normally (which is to say they have some torpedo defense but get easily overwhelmed with heavy fire, whereas the UEF Dreadnought has no torp defense.)
-
Just a bump a month later to see if anyone knows if this is something that can be fixed.. If Uveso is not active, even if you can give me an idea if there is something that can be added to the BlackOps blueprints.. We already play with a balance patch for BlackOps Teleports that I cobbled together by changing values, I'm sure I could add the fix to that patch if I knew what to add.
Sorry. I'm an ADHD monkey with absolute zero brain for programming.

@doompants only people with the rights can update mods unless the mod has the a license that allows it to be modified which black ops dose not have
-
@rowey Oh yeah I wouldn't touch the BlackOps mods themselves but couldn't you have an additional 'patch/balance' mod that also runs just to fix the problem if it's something in the blueprint? Or is that also no bueno?
I'm asking as someone who has just enough knowledge of how these files work to be dangerous. lol.

@Uveso Seems every time I @ you I owe you more and more thanks for your work!
We've had to have a gentleman's agreement not to build any of the Dreadnoughts for so long, and it was glorious last night being able to bring back the Seraphim dreadnought in a naval map. Welcome back, and thanks again.
-
@Doompants
I'm happy to have done it!
It's great to hear that you could finally bring back the Seraphim dreadnought on a naval map.
Have you tried out the new CZAR yet? The superweapon animation is just amazing.
Thank you for always finding the issues and sharing them with us—it really helps! -
I don't generally play Aeon, but I tried it last Friday and the spoilsports i played with shut me down before I could build one.
It's a whole new Friday though. Lets do this.

@Uveso Hi, I would like you to fix a bug in the Citadel MKII. Sometimes, when attacking, it gets too close to enemy units and stays underneath them. However, the Citadel's cannons no longer aim or fire. Additionally, when attacking, I suggest that instead of rotating on just one side, it should rotate from one side to the other, similar to what the Soul Ripper does. This is because when rotating on only one side, one of the side cannons stops firing because the Citadel is too far to the side.

thanks for reporting this.

@Uveso Could you change the sound of the Citadel MKII when clicked? When selected, it currently sounds like a tank, but it should have the sound of an aircraft.
-
Wait, really? I never realized that. Thanks for the heads-up, I’ll take a look!
