Just got through playing Nuke gen and both SU-47s are MISSING OBJ:.

[asdf]

During 2.05 2.06 2.07 AI was lame.Just a bunch of paladins and some helis.
2.08 has brought up(or should i say fixed) again the previous Insane(yes insane) AI.
But now we get again serious error messages against 1 robot gen.

remember i play with an ally so i don't die

Yes i know but you said that your ally dies too quick witch in turns get you killed, or your ally pawns the enemy before u get to max tech right?
So don't use an ally and playt a hard then you should be able to win ... or choose a map with a narrow CP so u can defend it easy.

We are using 2.05 ai as pend did not fix the updated 1 yet, and i have not had a seriose error yet only once while playing with capt drake.
We had 2 cyber teams on and us 2 was laser, we started to win after about an hour give or take and started to push back into there base but then the game went down...
But idk if drake used his plasma SW so that might have crashed the game as i read there is a problem with it in pvp.

Theres a BIG difference between a Hard and an Insain. The hard will only act like a speed bump if you put it between you and an insain. If you just want to see the top of the tech tree, jut play against a hard. I'm sure you will find it quite rewarding. Or, still easier than 1 insain, you can play agaisnt 2 hards if 1 is not enough.

Hey guys are u sure the plasma battary sw crashs your game during net play?

I just came from a game with my friend and i used it and we did not crash out or mismatch, however he had died about 1 min before i used it and so he was a spectator i don't know if that would make a differance.

But just thought i say because maybe there is another factor involed to make it die.

Ok i know this might sound funny but me and my friends been talking and stuff and well, we was joking about but actuly i loved this unit.
Do you remember tha M.A.D tank from the first red alert and retaliation?
Where the little tech guy runs out screaming as the verical blow up causing massive shockwave damage.
Welll i would think it would be sweet if a general maybe the demo general had a unit that u parked it would deploy and after about 10 seconds it would blow up with a massive shockwave, if possable make the shockwave only damage vehicals/buildings so infantry would be unharmed.. but idk if u can with a shockwave choose its attacking type?

But anyways it would be slow moving but armored enough to be able to take fire while getting into position, maybe give it a light machine gun.

O wait i got a better idea, there is so meny nukes in this already so how about REMOVING the nuke truck and putting in a mad tank it would be stealthed just like the nuke truck(while moving aswell) and would be the super unit for the demo general, it could be manuly blown and if it replaced the nuke truck it would have no deploy system but instead of nuke damage the effect would change and it would be a shockwave/earthquake kinda weapon. idk i leave the details to you all

In response to various replies:
--------------------------------

"Give me specifics and I'll fix them. I'll readily admit I can't spell. Hooked on Fonix worked for me."

- Okay, I'll make a list of what needs fixing.

"Does it always happen, or only sometimes?"

- Always. The satelite probe falls on the ground every time, blocking building.

"Never seen this. What army and when does it happen?"

- I have failed to reproduce this. I was playing with China Nuke when it happened.

"Can you make a screenshot? I have no idea what your talking about."

- Of course. But for that, and the spelling errors you must give me a little time. Weekdays got crowded since school started.

"Best I can do is give a blob shadow instead of a volume shadow... ... would that be better?"

- Perhaps it would be, yes. That tail shadow seems awkward.

"Do you mean stratiegic bombing?"

- That's the one, sorry. The other is great.

"I had only tried it once... yes, we mismatched. I'll rework the model and see if it makes a difference."

- I am sure the problem with the Plasma Battery lies in the rotating animation of the cannon firing. There's a bit of lag right when it begins and just before it crashes. Might be that.

"It does in the code."

- Maybe it's just me? Dunno. Won't argue over that. I always liked silent types anyway.. ;P

"It might be spawning the shell below the muzzle point... thats a common bug in the engine. I'll take another look."

- Please do, it's too funny to have it like that..

"Hey guys are u sure the plasma battary sw crashs your game during net play?"

- 100%, tried it even now just to be sure before replying.


SIDENOTES :

- Speaking of the A.I.. Insane now is a lot better as it uses variety. Good job.

- Where have the GLA Stinger infantry gone? No GLA armies will have AA Infantry in Remix?

- I am no longer interested in Contra 4 or 5, and yes I am aware it sounds rude or ungrateful in a way(since it was Contra that eventually led me to Remix), so sorry. I just personally consider Remix a lot better. But if GLA comments and remarks are getting annoying I'll stop posting any.

I just rolled it back to an older version... I'm not sure what went wrong in the 2.07, but I will do my best to make sure the next new AI version doesn't have that problem again.

- Where have the GLA Stinger infantry gone? No GLA armies will have AA Infantry in Remix?

This ones just you... I've not done anything to the stinger troops. I don't think all GLAs had them though.. this might be all it was.

- I am no longer interested in Contra 4 or 5, and yes I am aware it sounds rude or ungrateful in a way(since it was Contra that eventually led me to Remix), so sorry. I just personally consider Remix a lot better.

well, I've never liked the word "better". I prefer "different". Because truth be told, while I charish design and balance aspects of a mod, I've over streatched myself and never could compete with the quality of work Creator puts into a single unit. I've got alot more content, but everything he has is more complete and more polished. It just comes down to personal taste in the end.

But if GLA comments and remarks are getting annoying I'll stop posting any.

Its not that they arn't valuable in thier own way... but it does kinda get old... balance and design comments regarding an army I had nothing to do with don't help me clean out bugs from what I've made. They have a time and place, but I think they would be better suited being dropped in the Contra.04 bug thread.

Once I start the GLA that will be a different story. I'll need constant review of the general(s) I'm working on. As I tend to work on only a single general at a time thats where the bug testing needs to be.

[Phoenix911]

I don't think the sw plasma battary is 100% the complete cause of the crash, It works fine sigle player and during a net game i was playing i managed to fire BOTH mine that i built with no problems.
This is why i said maybe ther eis some other factor being put into place.

But as i said my friend had died and was in spectator mode so i really don't know if that would make a differance, imo it does not sound like spectating would make a differance to the crash as a second player is still in game.

[Violence]

Unfortunately it is the Plasma Battery being used in a multiplayer game and that can easily be reproduced.

I have a saved replay with 2 LASER Generals.
- One built absolutely nothing so I had 1 dozer and 1 HQ.

- The other had 1 dozer, 1 HQ, 2 Power, 1 Supply, 1 War Factory, Strategy Center, Plasma Spec. Upgrade, 1 Plasma Battery, 1 Supply Gatherer and absolutely nothing more, meaning I had built exactly what was needed to use the Plasma Battery.

- On 0:00 I used the Battery causing a mismatch.

I am not going through this test a 5th time, if you don't believe me no problem but that's what causes it on all my 4 computers.

PS.: Phoenix, if there are no other players in the game it will not crash. But that's what causes it.

[Phoenix911]

I not saying your wrong, as i said my friend was in game still connected to the game, sure he had been defeated but he was still spectating i do not think this makes a differance as he is still receving data.. but i fired 2 off 1 after the other and i did not mismatch, I am only telling u what i had happen. so this si why i was suggesting maybe there is another factor in making it mismatch maybe not.
But i have to give input so it might help trake down problem.

O and my game was me lazer friend airforce and 1 insain cyber.
But as i said friend had died and was spectating so maybe thats why it did not mismatch but i don't see how that would effect it.

pend.. i just been trying out assult gla gen... and he is pretty fookin nice
i like the jihad cannon and the toxin missle....
just wondering... the triple barreled marador upgrade...... i dont thing its working... they still only have 1 barrel..

[Pendaelose]

has it been coded yet? cause i know its in early development

actualy, GLA is still holding on. I've got to fix the bugs with the last release, then get the other AI factions running. THEN I will be in early aslt GLA production.

[Guy980]

lol PLZ give teh Hatf 3 anthrax beta, its what it needs to PWN!!!

[Phoenix911]

I still vote for a mad tank replacement for the nuke truck super unit for the demo gen >.> lmao
I do think teh nuke truck needs a new model tho... personly i always thought the nuke truck model looked like crap.

[Ubermedic]

@olli
The triple murader is a salvage upgrade.
You must buy the Triple barreled then get two salvage crates.
(But note as I say this I also point out that the third barrel is cosmetic
and doesn't fire. also its not modded yet so I'm not gonna freak over this.)

[Guy980]

uhhm where do screenshots go when i take them?

[Phoenix911]

In the photo gallery linked on another site miles away where no one will eer find them in the flood of the internet porn >.>
