Balance Mod Available for SE:V

[Captain Kwok]

Did you alter the mod in anyway?

[se5a]

try reinstalling BM?

[Caduceus]

No, I don't think I have. I can try reinstalling today.

[Caduceus]

I don't know. I reinstalled, but it is still doing it.

Hrm...

[Caduceus]

Okay, I completely deleted it and it seems to be working again. Problem solved.

[Captain Kwok]

I apologize for the delay. I'm just fiddling around with a few changes in the scripts that I need to finish and test before I can post v1.05. Originally the patch was to be released on Monday so I undertook a few changes to research and construction that were going to take Fri/Sat to work out. The research part is done, but the construction script needs to be debugged.

[Captain Kwok]

Greetings!

I've finally posted v1.05 of the Balance Mod for download. There were a few items I needed to resolve with the AI scripts before I could post, which was the main source of the delay.

Note that this version is not save game compatible with previous versions. It will extract to a new folder labeled 'Balance Mod v105+', which will be the default location for future save game compatible versions.

Is there something in here that will prevent the AI from doing stuff during a missed PBW turn?

[Captain Kwok]

Under ministers, there is an option that is on by default for the AI to play in the player's absence.

Thank you very much, Captain Kwok.
