The People's Mod 0.2.1 released

[Gandalf_greypilgrim]

The team of The People's Mod is proud to present our latest and greatest work. Once again, this is mostly a bugfix release, but due to the nature of the bugs, it is a highly recommended upgrade. This version also features some backports from the upcoming 0.3.0-pre2. Changes include:

-Fixed range check error
-Changed torpedo speeds, most are faster now
-Fixed monarch torpedo damage type
-New ship textures, new quadrant map, a few new systems

And more....we can't always remember what we did

This version features a new setup. Thanks to Mephisto on shrapnel forums for recommending the Inno Setup system. This makes things easier for users to install the mod, and makes the mod easier to distribute, as well as making the installer slightly smaller.

Note: For support, please post on the nemesys.ca forums. We will respond to questions posted here, but I personally don't check these forums as frequently as on nemesys.

Hmmm...Installed 0.2.1 run first mission, then go to starbase and there is no contact there!!!!??

Edit:

My bad, it seems in the updated maps, the name of the starbase was changed to Manhattan, but the event needed the name Manhattan Starbase. To fix, in Maps_Epsilon_Map.txt, locate the object "I-2 Manhattan", and change the Displayed Name to "Manhattan Starbase".

I do beleive the Starbase was right....just no one home when I knocked on the door....will look again



(Edit) OK I changed it, will see if OK now, Thanks


Edit; Edit) No go..still the same unless I have to restart the campaine (please no!)

Sorry, you will have to restart your campiagn. But wait, it gets worse, eventually you have to search for the Dragon Defense Outpost, to deliver a message. And bammo! Guess what?! You can't deliver it because no one is taking it. Essentially this stops the mod in it's tracks.

Don't get me wrong, I REALLY like this mod, but I just hate having hang-ups like this.

Well this project is still far from finished. But thanks for the bug reports.

Also when you fly through the systems if you see funny named objects for example there is Iolo star in Nevada system please tell them too.

Changed this, still no go. I will re-start again just to be sure

[Gandalf_greypilgrim]

Okay. I will be doing massive bug hunting tomorrow, and when I finish I will release a patch.

OK, Fixed problem 1...had to add "Starbase" to another line lower in file in "Ships" lines 1 and 2, do not change "Enemy Class Name" it will freeze on load up
