Natty Bumppo's G66 2.0, BETA For PB5.1

[Axeminister]

Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been asking for that for like 3 or 4 years. You totally rock dude!

[Red Devil]

Welllllll, I want to limit how often it shoots, but hopping in and out of a craft resets it, so I'm limiting its range.

Uploading Beta 24 now.

- Subversion rifle added to Scion Stronghold/Kiln/Forge and ISDF Armory/Factory.

[AHadley]

Yes!

I do not know what is wrong with my BZ2. I patched a fresh install of BZ2 with 1.3PB5.1 and then extracted the G66 V24 into the root and created the shortcut and edited just like my TA5 shortcut that works. And when I try to launch it I get a BZ2 error code. But I tried G66 V23 and it worked fine.

What could be wrong? Please help.

Never mind. I got it working. I had a program running that was conflicting with BZ2.

Subversion rifle

What does a Subversion rifle do? It has minimal damage and a long charge time... No uses I can think of.


EDIT: G66 mod probblem: Infantry keep entering empty vehicles (when you hop out to go into relay/factory) and when you want them to exit you press pick me up but when they hop out you can no longer control them...(Buh bye 10 scrap). Rather spoils the fun of infantry.

Try it and find out.

Try it and find out.

sounds like he did. I gotta say i modded my pilot so he took no damage and had a ton of ammo and shot and shot and never could get the gun spire to flip.

@scav-avenger it's supposed to turn an enemy into a friendly, but i guess there's a really low chance of it occuring.

[Axeminister]

It is supposed to convert enemy ships to your team and only work on units at this point. And yes it probably won't work every time. I remember the 1.2G66 version never worked every time. Only the enemy had it and it would either do damage or convert. I tried the rifle last night but never converted anything because I was missing moving enemy units or just wasn't in the right place at the right time. We only played one game, try it out some more. Red Devil asked me to shoot a Titan with it, I was never able to do that. Sounds like fun.

[Red Devil]

I realized last night that the reason the original fired 15 salvos was that that gave the DLL time to recognize that a unit had been hit.  Trouble is, I had removed the salvos and gave the rifle only one shot, so I changed it back.  

Also, when shooting at Gun Spires/Gun Towers, Rocket Towers, Rocket Spires  (classLabel = "turret"), it randomizes a flag and - if that flag is true at the outcome - it then checks for subversion.

Also, once you shoot a unit and it doesn't subvert, it won't let you subvert it with further attempts.

That's Natty for you.

Ulploaded/linked Beta 25:

- Fixed the Subversion Rifle(I think).  Please test in MP.

- Tweaked AI Siege Tank.

- Tweaked cfg's.

- Tweaked Bombers and APCs so they won't fly through hills (unless there's a short gap between them; then it just clips them a bit).

[Red Devil]

Sorry, missed a file.  If you downloaded it before now, re-downloaded it.

[TopGun]

New Version Zip does not have the .cfg in it.

Oops.  That's what happens when a fellow has company coming over in an hour and still has sketti to make.  

New testers, the cfg can be downloaded from the link below the main download link.

I'm adding the fast ships to a big DM map for the next zip.  Yes, the AI will use them, too.
