Brief Mt2 Update
« on: November 11, 2008, 08:14:15 AM »
Hey everyone.
I haven't had time to do any coding lately, and I wasted this weekend playing Doom 3 with Betaray (and occasionally Arklon).  Oh well, that's the way it goes.  :P

Anyways, stuff will be done... Eventually.
Actually, I do have 3 levels "ready" for testing but they need maps.  Right now they use old maps.  Additionally, a fourth mission is in development.
When I'm ready to release you'll all be the first to know.

Look forward to it!

We will, Sirbomber!

I've had the privilege to (beta)test the 4 missions, and they look promising :)
Although the missions themselves are quite simple, the new techtree certainly makes them worth to play.
Rule #1:  Eddy is always right
Rule #2: If you think he's wrong, see rule #1

Oh, crap.  I just remembered I still have to fix that bug that causes Robo-Miners to mysteriously require rare ore to build...

I can't remember if anybody ever found the tech(s) that can cause it, though...

It's a bug.  I don't know why it happens, and nothing I've done intentionally sets it.

Well, I told you where I found it happened.  I can test it again, but I suspect the same result.  

There is a workaround I thought of, if you are up to a suggestion.  Simply spam the tech tree with a setting to change the rare ore to 0 on miners with every technology.  Then the rare ore requirement will only be there until the next tech is researched.
