@Uveso That's the best news I've heard in a while！ I will test it soon, thanks for your great work, best wishes!

@uveso oh my god, Mr.Uveso! Thanks for your reply！ When I finish revising my paper, I will test your new work.

@exselsior Oh, looks like I misunderstood him. Since I'm not from an English-speaking country, I had to use translation software to communicate with you all, which may have led to some misunderstandings, for which I apologize.

@nuggets Who cares? I just do what I can, not for anyone in particular.

It looks like my translation software translated your words less than kindly(fxxk Baidu), so please accept my apologies if I misunderstood you.

@doompants oh, luckily I know when it happend. As the changelog in version 3811 said:
#6360 the hitboxes have been changed to solve that some times torpedoes randomly miss the unit by traveling underneath it.
But it looks like this has some unknown effects on the units in the mod. I'll check this later, but please understand that I may not be able to fix them, FAF code changes are difficult for me right now!

@zhanghm18
I tested this unit over and over again yesterday in a custom game and didn't encounter the problem you described. When you issue a stop or move command during summoning, the unit will stop summoning (play an animation that retracts the turret) and then execute the command; when you issue an attack command again, it will start summoning the meteorite again (play an animation that unfolds the turret), and I didn't encounter any problems with it getting stuck.
Did you download the latest blackops mod from Uveso's github page (https://github.com/Uveso) instead of the FAF repository?I've noticed that a lot of the mods in the FAF repository don't get updated in a timely manner.

@nomads Now please try it again.

@nomads Oddly enough, I'm also using one of the 7zip distributions (Nana zip) to package the files. May be questions of network caused the uploaded files to be corrupted. I will repackage and upload them.

@zhanghm18 Please hold off on the other mods for now, I'm not currently deep enough into playing them to know exactly how they were supposed to work.

@zhanghm18 Oh, and this issue came up yesterday when I was playing with a friend, but at the time we agreed that it was a setting of this unit XD.
I'll be checking this out again.

@blackrobe If you have found any bugs in blackops, please tell me and I will try to fix them XD.

Now, enjoy the cool transformations of CZAR!

At line 140 of the file, the code
“AnimationActivate = ‘/hook/units/UAA0310/UAA0310_AOpen.sca’,”
incorrectly references a location that does not exist, resulting in the morphing animation of the CZAR not being played correctly. We should change it to
“AnimationActivate = ‘/mods/BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed/hook/units/UAA0310/UAA0310_AOpen.sca’,”

In the mod, CZAR loses the shield but has a second weapon, the comment in the lua code reads “Button pressed, czar cannot build or store any units, enable new weapons take extra damage, use the DoTakeDamage function and a self.damageMod = 1.0 self.damageMod = 1.2, unit.lua line 781”, and then the CZAR morphs to resemble a blooming flower, thus unleashing a much more powerful more powerful attacks. However, in the file “BlackOpsFAF-Unleashed\hook\units\UAA0310\UAA0310_unit.bp”, there is an error that prevents this morphing animation from being played correctly.

First of all, Mr. Uveso must be thanked for his work, without him we would never be able to play this classic mod again on the FAF platform, but now I have to point out one of his little mistakes in UAA0310 (T4 Experimental Aircraft Carrier CZAR).

@zhanghm18
Thanks for your support! Because I'm not the real author of this mod, I won' t change any features of this mod （which may cause copyright infringement ） I only adapted it to the latest version game of FAF，without any effect, textures, or function changed(which would probably be blasphemy to a decade-old classic mod), that 's all.
One day if I have some idea and enough technical skills, I will make my own explosion mod，just as RK did.

The latest version has been uploaded. Any testing and feedback is welcome！

And, you need to add the following definition to the beginning of the moded defaultexplosions.lua file:
"local SDEffectTemplate = import('/mods/rks_explosions/lua/SDEffectTemplates.lua')
local NEffectTemplate = import('/mods/rks_explosions/lua/NEffectTemplates.lua')"
Then you'll see that the mod will almost work (but there are still some units with incorrect fire effects, such as the Experimental Bomber, which will require some more detailed modifications, which I'm still working on)

Then, let's go to the FAF github repository to find a key file:
https://github.com/FAForever/fa/blob/develop/lua/defaultexplosions.lua
Download it and compare it to rks_explosions\hook\lua\defaultexplosions.lua;
We can see that the contents of the function “CreateScalableUnitExplosion” have changed considerably. That is why the mod doesn't work properly.
A simple solution is to overwrite the defaultexplosions.lua file in the mod with the same file in FAF, and then using your text editor, modify"function CreateScalableUnitExplosion "to the following form:
function CreateScalableUnitExplosion(unit, debrisMultiplier, circularDebris)

debrisMultiplier = debrisMultiplier or 1
circularDebris = circularDebris or false
