I think you need to use WinRAR to unzip them all at once.

Uuummmmm.... anyone else having corrupted files?
This is the first time someone mentioned this and the core files have been up for a quite a while.

I do or I am not really sure. Every time I start up the mod it says that 48 corrupted files have been found and scp will compensate for it etc etc
Do I have to put together the data files in COS 1 and 2 folder? or I could just leave it like that? cause thats the way i installed it but at least it was in order based on your readme. Tell me what I did wrong.

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
I believe Siddyus is using 3.6.10 RC3, which now spouts a warning about all the errors it detects in the modfiles. It probably means there are a lot of null MOI errors and stuff.

Trashman, you should run your mod under debug and try to clear up all the errors it spouts.

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
Yep thats true. So I guess I installed it right. Looking forward for the future fixes. This mod looks too damn awesome to miss.

EDIT: there are also missing ship models in the tech room. FS2 goes into a debug state and crashes whenever I try to view them.

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
Did you use the missions I fixed up as a base and these new files retain the fixes I implemented?

I'm quite sure I did.

EDIT: If you're having trouble, just use a slightly older build. RC2 works fine.

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
Query:  Why does the Falcon fighter take hull damage when hit even when the shields are up?  And not just by beams?  That plus the total lack of weapons suitable for disarming a cruiser makes the second mission bloody impossible.

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
Hmm....don't ALL ships now sometimes take a bit of damage from powerful weapons even with shields up?
I think that's the result of upping the weapons damage...Or it might be some weird side-effect of something.

As far as disarming the cruiser - you'll find Rockeyes can take out the anti-fighter beams with ease...and from great range to boot. With the latest fix file, you can call in a reinforcement wing too.


Regarding the secondary bank capacity - that was deliberate given the different balancing. The HOL don't use as massive numbers as shivans usually do, but their pilots have higher AI settings. Having the player rely more on primaries and actually dogfighting a bit more drives the point home better methinks.

If you think you're having a hard time now...wait for DOTA...shivan fighters/bombers and weapons got a considerable beefing up. :drevil:

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
They might, but the Falcon is sufficiently fragile that it takes significant damage even with the shields still up; it's almost like playing the early stages of TIE Fighter again.   :lol:

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
I increased it's Hitpoints to 300 in the latest fix. That's more than the Myrmodon or half he other fighters...I'll have to do some tests.

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
Androgeos, that's a new feature in 3.6.10 RC3. It's caused by subtle problems in the modpack such as null MOI errors and stuff like that.

You should be able to ignore it and continue, but it means Trashman should run a debug build and correct all the problems that pop up.

Re: RELEASE: Flames of War - Coming of the Storm
Well, guess what? I just started it up and got an error after it jammed and crashed on the third mission (the depot raid). See the attached image. I'll try crashing it with RC3 Debug now.

Double-post. :D

I ran debug RC3 and it crashed even before I got to the pilot list. FS2_Open.log attached.

I'm running what's probably an old version if you've been making fixes any time within the past couple of months.  I'll get the new files.
