[Outdated] Marvin's Hot and Cold Pack IV

[RemingtonRyder]

I've managed to get minified turrets working again. The comp init DLL works fine, it was the XML which was problematic.

So that's a relief!

Kudos to 1000101 of the CCL team for posting and clarifying how XML inheritance works in A13. I'd still be scratching my head if not for that.

Awesome ! I look for it right now ! Thanks !

[Kaballah]

I get an error with Hot and Cold Biomes with yesterday's CCL release that complains about the terrain fertility injector and on starting a map, the custom soil types don't get applied.  I'll get the actual text of the error shortly.

Dunno if you updated the mod minified turrets but it does not work. First xml structure using <comps> seems wrong.

You use this structure (A12 inherited) :

Code Select Expand

    <comps>
      <li>
        <compClass>CompExplosive</compClass>
        <explosiveRadius>1.45</explosiveRadius>
        <explosiveDamageType>Zap</explosiveDamageType>
      </li>
      <li>
        <compClass>CompForbiddable</compClass>
      </li>
      <li>
        <compClass>CompPowerTrader</compClass>
        <basePowerConsumption>175</basePowerConsumption>
      </li>
      <li>
        <compClass>HotCold_Minification.CompTurretInit</compClass>
      </li>
    </comps>

But A13 needs that :

Code Select Expand

<comps>
<li Class="CompProperties_Explosive">
<explosiveRadius>3.0</explosiveRadius>
<explosiveDamageType>Bomb</explosiveDamageType>
</li>
<li Class="CompProperties_Forbiddable"/>
<li Class="CompProperties_Power">
<compClass>CompPowerTrader</compClass>
<basePowerConsumption>350</basePowerConsumption>
</li>
<li>
<compClass>HotCold_Minification.CompTurretInit</compClass>
</li>
</comps>

Even with modified version and 0 error left, if I try to use it on my own turret while calling your DLL, if I try to spawn a turret, I receive this error :

Code Select Expand

The only mod he's released for A13 so far is Hot and Cold Biomes.

I get an error with Hot and Cold Biomes with yesterday's CCL release that complains about the terrain fertility injector and on starting a map, the custom soil types don't get applied.  I'll get the actual text of the error shortly.

Somehow I had the incorrect version of CCL, please disregard this.

[RemingtonRyder]

Been a busy week, haven't had time to work on the mod beyond 'okay this works now, phew!'

When I do a release I almost always post the link to it in the latest post as well as the top post.

The predatory boomrats change is brutal, I think that more than anything makes Desert really, really hard for melee-only colonies.  I'm not saying you should revert that, just FYI.

[RemingtonRyder]

Thanks for letting me know. I was waiting for someone to notice that little change and I'm hoping that some interesting stories will result. I mean, to a boomrat, raider tastes just as yummy as colonist. :-)

[Kaballah]

Yeah but they all make a beeline for your home area whenever they get hungry.  It's actually a lot harder to get going in Desert than it is in Extreme Desert (maybe you should make megascarabs predatory instead/also).

[RemingtonRyder]

Textured and added the XML for a crossbow turret today.



Nothing else to report, sorry.

Re-added the lantern from A9. It needs to be refuelled every now and then.

[Kaballah]

Neato, is it manned like a mortar or automated?

[RemingtonRyder]

Manned. But it is a step up from the pila thrower that you get to start with.

[Kaballah]

That's cool, the game needs more mixed tech stuff like this.

[RemingtonRyder]

Work done today:

• The pila thrower turret and crossbow turret are now minifiable, so you can re-install them elsewhere.
• Moved the recipes for making basic, improved, crusher and macerator turrets to the machining table. This may not be permanent - I may instead give them their own worktable, because the machining table has a lot of recipes (gunsmithing!) on it already.
• Bugfixed what I just did there.
