NOTA 1.82

[Thor]

How come NOTA isn't one of the mods you can choose to have automatically installed when you put Spring on your computer?

No idea. Does anyone know?

[Argh]

Talk to LordMatt.

I heard they were doing away with mods in the installer, so each mod needs it own installer. This is good in ways, bad in others.

Good:
*can include missions and varients
*can include maps good for the mod
*dont have to worry about users just speeding through the installer and not choosing anymods besides the default

Bad:
*not as newbie accesable
*has to be advertised seperate of the engine

I think the good things outway the badthings, anyways i am making an unofficial nota installer to learn how to make installers.

It's not very hard, have fun :)

Why isnt space bugs just incorporated into the main nota mod? It would make things 1000x simpler.

[overkill]

So they can update spacebugs without making people redownload the main mod.

I did it!
I finally succeed in an mission pack upload!

Mission Pack post

- I had been having upload trouble

Hey! Cool! How did you figure out how to get metal to be less than 100k on mission start up? It looks like it's something to do with CORNTOW_EVIL? Is this a dummy unit that just eats the first 99k of metal? If so, awesome idea! In any case, however you solved it, that rocks!

[hughperkins]

Oh yes, it's here, you tweaked the corntow_evil to reduce the metal storage for missions, great idea! :

Code: Select all

	//    Resources
	EnergyMake=20;
	EnergyStorage=-999000;//300
	EnergyUse=0;
	MetalMake=1;
	MetalStorage=-999000;//300

Edit: added this to the wiki page:

http://spring.clan-sy.com/wiki/Mission_development

[Evil4Zerggin]

You can also do it via Lua using

Code: Select all

Spring.SetTeamResource(teamID, "ms", 1000)
Spring.SetTeamResource(teamID, "es", 1000)

[hughperkins]

You can also do it via Lua using

Code: Select all

Spring.SetTeamResource(teamID, "ms", 1000)
Spring.SetTeamResource(teamID, "es", 1000)

Sounds good.

Gives me an error: "Attempt to index global Spring, a nil value", using 0.76b1.

[Clownmite]

How do you play these missions?

[hughperkins]

- download that link above, that is a zip file containing:
-- Spring 0.76b1
-- mission pack

- install Spring 0.76b1 somewhere, not in the same place as your normal Spring, because it's an old version, I'd recommend:

c:\program files\Spring076b1\Spring

I'd recommend adding that extra "Spring" at the end, it will make your life easier; just do it

- install the mission pack, give it the same path as where you just installed 0.76b1

Right, now go to c:\program files\Spring076b1\Spring, double-click on "Spring.exe"; a list of ... things... start scripts ... will appear
- scroll down to LUA Gulley, or whatever, using the up/down keys, then hit Enter to start the mission

Feel free to wiki-ize these instructions somewhere, maybe on NOTA page

[Thor]

Thanks 123v and hughperkins, it's nice to know those missions can still be played.

bug in nota spacebugs 1.54:

i made a square of 2x2 lvl2-airlabs (no space between them) and the labs with the other lab infront of them didnt start to produce, but the labs with no other lab infront of them acted normal

[Thor]

probably the hitsphere is too big. I'll try to fix it for next nota version. As long as you keep a small spacing between them it shouldn't be a problem though.

[==Troy==]

ARM's flashes are very hard to hit for basic LLTs, it looks like as if the beam just goes "through" them, making the LLT hit only in 10% of the cases.

ARM's air plant has a stupidly large hitsphere for some reason

Been over two years, get in gear!
