Spring Installer version is also updated to V6.1

Thus you can also just rerun the installer selecting BA.

May I suggest that in the next release artillery units come with hold position on as default? its quite anyoing to have to do that manually ever time :)

[Pendrokar]

Added the reclaim info widget

There is one problem with it! You can't use it on the minimap(it acts as if there is nothing there)! jk can you help?!?

[imbaczek]

Added Collide=0; to all planes

Spaem moar fighters!

[[Krogoth86]]

Added Collide=0; to all planes

Did you also do something to their weapons then? I have this in my mod for quite a while now and I had to give the bombers a collidefriendly=0 because they tended to bomb one another as they now can fly ... well they fly "inside" each other and can make the other bombers' bombs explode effectively doing a kamikaze on themselves and everything in range...

No, i didn't, but i tested with like 100 bombers, and they didn't kill themselves.

Radar/Jammer units will no longer "attack"

Please tell me you just forgot to mention mobile antinukes in the changelog, and not in the actual release.

I didn't know they had the issue too so they aren't fixed.

[ZellSF]

Yeah, knew I should've tried to tell you directly and not have relied on telling Sleksa and posting in this topic.

[NOiZE]

Well i usually read the stuff in this thread, but i guess i missed it

[LordMatt]

Probably cause so much crap gets posted in here. I think sleksa should be a made a mod for this thread only and keep it clean.

[manored]

They are not crap! They are incredible flamely discussions about the mod that end in nothing! :)

Okay, some points.

In my infolog, I get these Lua errors:

Code: Select all

Loading LuaRules
Failed to load: unit_direct_control.lua  ([string "LuaRules/Gadgets/unit_direct_control.lua"]:42: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 40) near 'UnitDefNames')
LUARULES-MAIN  (GADGETS)
Failed to load: unit_direct_control.lua  ([string "LuaRules/Gadgets/unit_direct_control.lua"]:42: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 40) near 'UnitDefNames')

I never mentioned it before, so it's really my fault, but the shield shader still fails to compile on my Radeon 9500 with this error (do I need a better card?):

Code: Select all

LUPS->Shield: criticle shader error: ERROR: 0:7: 'dot' : no matching overloaded function found 
ERROR: 1 compilation errors.  No code generated.

The new button layout is, sorry, terrible. At least at 1024x768, it partly overlaps the minimap, thereby hiding its lower part. And 4 icons per row just takes up an awful lot of screen real estate. What was wrong with 3 icons per row? With all the non-building units, I now get a couple of rows of icons and then a huge black space which does nothing but hide the battlefield behind it. Would you consider changing that back?

Finally, I'm a bit worried about the plane exhaust flames using LUPS... will that degrade performance much?

Apart from these issues, it seems nice.

[Gota]

Change that to ur liking.
I personnaly prefer 5 rows.And i just decrease icon sizes.
Its totaly personnal.

4 seems to be a good compromise.

Okay, so how do I customize it?

[ZellSF]

Disable the LuaUI widget and edit Spring/LuaUI/ctrlpanel.txt Also you can just disable the LUPS LuaUI widget.

Thanks for reporting the direct control gadget error.
