Hello friends.

I'm not sure what happened, but all of a sudden, you can't build hydro generators with BlackOps Unleashed turned on.

To recreate, just play a game with BlackOps unleashed on, and spit that first engie out. Hydro cannot be built with hotkeys, and isn't visible on the build UI.

@uveso ey for some reason the link isnt working.

[Uveso]

@Doompants
yes you are right, looks like the unit hook is not working.

@MiniHans
Just checked the link in the frist post and its working.
Maybe you have set your browser to not accept http pages (only HTTPs ?)

Not sure if there is anything new in the following logs, but I've had:

• Blackops Experimentals not firing, sliding across the battle field
• Sim "crashes" where the game still lives and responds, but units stopped moving completely, nothing would build etc.

Logs:
Blackops+Total Mayhem +rando others
game_20507307.log

Hello there, I bring some new logs just in case and also a question: Ones the errors fixed shall it be seen as a new version of BlackOps in Mod page of a client or should I download it manualy from GitHub?

P.S. Thank you for the good work

[Doompants]

@battleshiponi

If Uveso updates the mod to fix some of these errors, there will be a new version in the mod vault. You may need to manually uninstall the old version and reinstall it from the vault (2 clicks :D) but there should be no need to go to github.

@doompants I see, thank you for the responds!

Hi there Uveso! I also want to report some problems with BlackOps FaF ExUnits, the UEF T3 Submarine (Seawolf) is not working properly, when it surfaces, you can hear the shooting sound, but there are no projectiles (also with the torpedoes as well), so now its unusable. Also some problems with the UEF T3 Torpedo launcher "Harpoon" in BrewLAN, when built on land it works properly, but when built in the seabed, it cannot attack, at least subs. Thanks and Cheers!

Issues with BlackOpsFAF-EXUnits should be reported in its own thread: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/354

Also some problems with the UEF T3 Torpedo launcher "Harpoon" in BrewLAN, when built on land it works properly, but when built in the seabed, it cannot attack, at least subs.

Uveso currently has no involvement in BrewLAN as that is still under development by Balthazar, so those issues should be reported here: https://github.com/The-Balthazar/BrewLAN/issues

@MrPhalanx

i checked unit EES0301 Seawolf (UEF Advanced Tactical Submarine)
and it looks to me normal.

Can you do me a favor and check the unit with only BlackOpsFAF-EXUnits enabled?
Maybe another mod is interfering here.

In case of the BrewLAN unit you need to ask Balthazar.

@MostLostNoob
lol, i wish i read your post first
Perfect answer, thanks !

[MrPhalanx]

@uveso Thank you Uveso for your quick answer, well the problem was in my side, because just ONE (actually totally useless) MOD messed up the whole stuff ,but thankfully I found it and removed, now everything works properly. Actually i like to tinker a bit inside the Lua files, but I'm even worse than a rookie, so i only doing it for myself X)

Anyway regards: Mr. P.

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.)
