Title: Working Cold War!
Post by: Marohen on November 28, 2007, 12:46:16 AM

Tada! I went to hell and back to get the compiler working, but I've made some adjustments to Plymouth Cold War, now on hard you will receive twenty people and you can build laser turrets by default.

The down side? Compiler issues prevented me from being able to compile the mission briefing, future work (And hopefully feedback) will help fix this and other things.

Thank you, and enjoy!

PS: Simply make a backup of your old file in the core OP2 directory and then toss this one in to replace it. Voila!

Cold War worked before. A difficulty level of impossible isn't "not working"...

Here's my take on it. I've changed the mission briefing to give it more of a backstory, given the player more colonists, and, well...
Currently, the mission briefing text doesn't fit in the whole text area, you'll need to click inside of it and press down to see the rest. Then again, it's just "good luck", so there's not much of a need to. I'll need to ask BlackBox about how to increase the size of the text area.

Edit: Slightly updated this version. The mission briefing dialog is bigger now, I tinkered with the difficulty multipliers (amount of colonists, metals, and food should be about the same as the previous version), and each of Plymouth's defenses only have a 35-65% (depending on the difficulty) chance of being dual turret.

That part where he trails off is him trying not to tell you he made it more impossible by giving Plymouth dual-turret Lynx(es? I was never quite sure if plural of Lynx was Lynx or Lynxes...).

Impossible?   HA!   I almost beat it, if it wasn't for the fact that its still crashy.   20 lynx.   Assorted Laser/EMP/Railgun, fully upgraded.    Virtually drove right through Plym's defenses and hit the Adv. Lab.   It was about to die, when the game crashed.   If anything, its easy now, at least to me.

I would like to suggest Lynxi as a possible plural of Lynx. :P

(Not that you'll see me using that myself.)

What difficulty? And was the bottom mine a 3 bar?

Arklon, if you really want to make it evil, add 8193 speed Blight that spawns on the player's ore mine(s).

Where's the fun in that?
I could make it so that Plymouth rushes you with all its dual turret lynx at the very beginning :P

That'd be in direct contradiction with the briefing that your base has yet to be discovered.

I changed the mission briefing in my version.

Actually, it was Medium, and I did it off of just the single.   I never went for the other mines.
