BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed only for FAF v25

Uveso

@Jip
this should be fixed inside FAF.

Adding "DamageRadius = 1," inside modded unit blueprints does not work (still outputs 0 as radius)
self.DamageData.DamageRadius or 1` is also not working because the DamageData defaults the radius to 0 when its not existend.

Kind of funny:

        local FriendlyFire = self.DamageData.DamageFriendly and radius ~=0
        DamageArea( self, pos, radius, 1, 'Force', FriendlyFire )

FriendlyFire is only true if radius is not 0, and the function crashes when radius is 0. Nice ^^

@DDDX
Are you talking about Black Ops ACU v18 or Black Ops Unleashed V19 ?

DDDX

well...I am looking at the mods listed in FAF when I type in "Blackops", Unleashed has last been updated 12/20/2020 and it says v18.

Is there a v19 in the Vault that is not showing there? I mean, I might be wrong here, but I do not see it.

When I host, I host v19 though.

Uveso

Hmm i see unleashed v19 in the vault !?!

Jip

@uveso What file and line is that?

nvm - related to the post before.

DDDX

@uveso nvm, if this (v18) were an issue it would have manifested long ago.

I can report the same projectile error with the Juggernaut battlestation unit BEL0307.

Anything that uses the "Railgun01" projectile is affected. I found like 5 units that use it (they're all UEF units).

Jip

Yes - we're on it .

3724 SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE.

Jip

That was the idea!

@Xathos

i just want to thank you for your feedback and support!

@Uveso Is this mod still up to date on the FAF client? I can't see a version number on there,

And Lambda seems to be broken

Uveso

@Levily2

yes the Black Ops FAF version is the latest one.

When you say Lambda is broken, what unit do you mean ?
Is the lambda in the Black Ops ACU mod working ?

Levily2

@Uveso After some quick testing, it does seem to work? Sort of, an experimental lambda PD couldn't block a tech 1 Tank Hunter Mobile PD from UEF.

And even the ACU or lambda bots don't do it consistently,

the Lambda blocking only 1 shot out of 10 or so, and the ACU every third shot?

But most importantly, it doesn't have any visuals, for none of them.

I quickly tried to check in code what could be wrong, and in for example BSB0001_Script.lu, on line 8 it imports seraphimunits.lua, but that file didn't exist in my install

Great work guys, love it!

@Levily2

well, i found the issue. Had to go back to october 2016.

The Lambda defence was changed by icedreamer in 2016.
First the Lambda was defending 100% of all projectiles.
After the patch it only deflect 5-30% of the projectiles depending on the unit.

This was the patch:
https://github.com/aeoncleanse/Mods/commit/a13d536ecddbd24a697ee9d7732f634b69e9892f#diff-0e3f7a0c9511aade8883d320fb0ca2d44a6b5bb93c40afd86ead5503d6ba8546

I checked the code for more errors, but the code itself is running as designed.
So there is no error, it was a balance decision to reduce the reflect rate of the Lambda field.

[edit]
The file seraphimunits.lua can be found in:
\Mods\BlackOpsFAF-ACUs\hook\lua\seraphimunits.lua
and in the original game files in :
SupCom\gamedata\lua\seraphimunits.lua
(its packed inside the lua.scd file, rename the .SCD to .ZIP and you can unpack the archive)

DDDX

I use the Lambda field in my mod for my survival, and I can confirm that it does stop projectiles - albeit irregularly. Which would be consistent with a 5-30% chance to trigger.
So that part works as it should i guess.

No visuals though.

Levily2

@Uveso Oh sweet, then sorry for the false report!

But yeah, i distinctly remember from back then that there were visuals for lambda?

Uveso

@Levily2

it wasn't a false report; compared to 2015, the Lambda has lost 95% effectiveness in some cases.
This was an absolute correct observation.

I'll take a look at the gfx later, although I'm not a graphics expert.

Levily2

Cool! You're the best

I know BlackOps hasn't really been touched in a while, but we've noticed that a recent patch broke the Aeon T3 tactical missile launcher (Purifier).

The recent Game Update 3738 makes reference to "(#3946) Fix damage of child projectiles, such as Cybran tactical missiles after they split"

I'm assuming it's a related problem since the Purifiers use child projectiles too.

To Recreate:

Build Aeon Purifier in any game.
Fire purifier at enemy structures.
Purifier will strike and appear to explode, but no damage to structures.

Thanks in advance
