Build 2 is excellent. Apart from the crash with the bodyguards, I enjoyed it. A fun dogfight dodging technique is to press A and D alternating every second or so. You're still moving up/down, but you're also strafing.

Five times? I checked the scripting, and I only saw the scripts for three or four. Oh well, maybe I miscounted.

I'm sure you didn't. The last time I gained a level I received nothing and the message said what it normally says but without stating any award. But perhaps I only got 4 promotions and miscounted.

20: Ensign Missile racks and 10 missiles
50: 2nd Lueitenant High powered laser rifle and two bodyguards

1000: Commodore medibay (auto heals marines & the captain) effeciency doubled, more weapons available in armoury.
2000: Rear Admiral can recruit ships into fleet (for lots of cash), all weapons now available in armoury.
5000: Vice Admiral best ship weapons, best reactor, best sheilding, player gains Build Base ability (can now construct colonies on planets), can now transport colonists (gotten from inhabitable planets, used to make colonies work).
10000: Admiral missiles slowly respawn in your loading bay, medibay effeciency doubled, can now commence Planetary Bombardment (destroys ground facilities that could launch fighters/missiles against you).
100000: Fleet Admiral Highest rank possible, all uber-upgrades gained here.

Are all the planets you attack going to be jungle war? It would be nice if you could also have desert, snow, etc. type planets. (Desert and snow would be nice vast open fighting spaces.) I would also suggest urban but I have tried making enterable buildings and it is a pain.

I see that ville has prereleased v1.34 and effect 24 'shoot at nearest enemy' is now fixed. You could give the player a turret type weapon that uses this to fire, but don't allow the player to control it directly.

- At promotion 2 the game crashes, although only in areas where the player is the captain. This is right after the bodyguards appear, which makes me believe the laser rifle has nothing to do with it.
- Nowhere to recharge captain's energy (at least, none that I found)
- The turret control quick key was set to C, not M like the description said.
- The game forces the player to use relative controls at the start, making them have to go into the options menu if they want to move normally as the Captain.
- When you leave the bridge, the Captain is visible for a second. This could be corrected by switching the places of the "change player to captain" command and the "teleport to ship" command. This is because switches races takes less time than teleporting, so the player would be less likely to see the ship inside the ship than the captain in space. Does that make sense?
- The armory could be done better with plot objects. Right now, with v1.33, there is no way to determine if the player has less than a certain number of an item. But once that condition is added, a plot object could dispense weapons instead of leaving items on the floor. Also, the player can run out of ammo waaay too easily. Adding a plot object that dispenses bullets would make this easier. If you like, the plot object can have a timer of sorts that prevents the player from getting a whole load of bullets at once, but making it so that the player must switch to sniper rifle once they run out of ammo is annoying.
- The sniper rifle doesn't use ammo.

ZeXLR8er, were you going to include the other ranks like I listed? Or are you going to add any?

Well zex, Looks like this mod will be a great hit, I'm just glad I'm apart of it!. Just 2 things. 1. Could you change to the credits to say ForceUser and not Forceuser.. I'm rather particular

And now the important thing: Alot of the graphics/music files won't be changed. Will it be possible for you to start making patches rather than releasing the whole 6-7mb file each time? It would be a great help since i know alot of guys don't have broadband.

"ZeXLR8er!!" said:
And the bug showing the captain in space is easily fixable; I'll simply swap the effects so the teleport efect is before the change race effect. Is that what you meant?

What if someone new to notrium wanted to download the full game?

"ZeXLR8er!!" said:
Great, that must be it. Thanks Magebane.

I have to say that the grapics in this mod look great, specially the ones for inside the ship. Mind of I borrow some of them for my VC base? Ill trade you some of the sounds from my mod in exange

"Toko" said:
no reply on my zoo idea?

edit: THE HIVE SECTOR!!! evry time you push the Notrium planet...ou broke me roof

"ville" said:
Oh and Zex, can't you force Relative controls with the effect?

"Idiota" said:
It seems that when I am either 1st ensign or above and I enter captain view, the game just crashes

"ZeXLR8er!!" said:
I'll check it out. Thanks!!

"ZeXLR8er!!" said:
Wow, neat idea, but when it hits the creature it makes the sparks and hit noises, wich looks quite weird.I'm trying to thinkabout how we could fix this.

"MageKing17" said:
Check out these new screenshots from a sub-project within Wazzal II I'm working on:

Screenshot 1 - A group of federation fighters are performing strafing runs on an alien mothership
Screenshot 2 - The same group engages and alien fighter
Screenshot 3 - The alien mothership chases the player into the asteroid belt
Screenshot 4 - The federation fighters destroy the alien mothership and the player gets promoted!

The targetting beam can be seen in all these shots, and the fighters are really fun.

But why does the enemy ship turn blue?

"UberWaffe" said:
Wow, MageKing, that looks cool! But why does the enemy ship turn blue?
I really like the fighters! You made them yourself?

"ZeXLR8er!!" said:
It looks great, but I can't use the targeting beam intil we solve the problem of the sounds and sparks.

"ForceUser" said:
I'm not shure, but those federation fighters looks like some of the earlyer models I made for zex.

ok, anywyas, I've had a chance to dl the mod fixes by mageking, thanx! ok, I like the lazer gun, it shoots fast yet does little damage, nice. Zex, do you have a plan of replenishing the energy yet?

The Mishine gun is also really cool, I love the reload sound. Did you notice though, that the reload time is shorter than the reload sound time?

The dispenser does look cool although we might want to do something so you just can't go and get thousands of free ammo clips and medik kits. Perhaps need replicator energy (An item) that you buy at starports with credits. With the replicator energy you can replicate anything but some things cost more energy?

The targeting lazer for the Wolf is EXTREMELY powerfull. I sugest you use it, once you fix the sound problem ofcourse, by giving it to a player with a promotion. Perhaps 5th ot 6th?

Also, I think it would be a good Idea to get the promotion items once you dock with THE confederate starbase or perhaps one of thier outposts. Makes the whole promotions thingy more realistic

Thats my 2c

1) I used the creature2.png in the textures/wazzal folder.

2) The armoury restores energy.

3) I was going to fix that too, but I wasn't sure I should change it unless ZeX confirms it's bad.

4) I was going to make it work like the old food generator, so you had to wait. That or add a cap limit. I was also going to replace medkits with a MEDIBAY, that slowly heals you while inside.

5) I was going to make it available at fourth promotion, because that's pretty far and currently does nothing. We're working on the sound problem. While it was originally just a technology demo, I've grown rather fond of it .

6) I'll see if I can add a starbase. I've currently got a carrier-type thing implemented. It's what's launching the federation fighters, and to balance it out I've added alien motherships that spew out their fighters. Also, I recently made the federation fighters not have creature collision detection, so they'll do awesome strafing-type things on the motherships. Really funny, must see once I make patch 2.
