Will it explode when an (enemy?) landunit crosses its "bounce-path"?

[lurker]

Ooh, can you set up suppression fire on dry land?

No, it's stranger than that. It passes right through. At least your own units, didn't test on enemies.

Though when it does only one bounce, it can still hit ground after that if you make it fire very near the coastline - then it explodes when hitting the ground, harming any units that are on the spot where it hits the ground.

Would it be possible for them to cruise higher only when loaded?

Are you using the new "Split up" version of Defense Range Widget? If so, you want to add the huge list BeefofAges usually uses?

unitList["cortron"] = { 1, "Core TacNuke Launcher"}
unitList["coreyes"] = { 1, "Core Eye"}
unitList["coravp"] = { 1, "Core T2 Veh Lab"}
unitList["corasy"] = { 1, "Core T2 Ship Lab"}
unitList["coralab"] = { 1, "Core T2 KBot Lab"}
unitList["coraap"] = { 1, "Core T2 Air Lab"}
unitList["armeyes"] = { 1, "Arm Eye"}
unitList["armalab"] = { 1, "Arm T2 KBot Lab"}
unitList["armaap"] = { 1, "Arm T2 Air Lab"}
unitList["armasy"] = { 1, "Arm T2 Ship Lab"}
unitList["armavp"] = { 1, "Arm T2 Veh Lab"}
unitList["armamb"] = { 1, "Arm T2 Plasma"}
unitList["corspy"] = { 1, "Core Spy"}
unitList["armspy"] = { 1, "Arm Spy"}
unitList["armbanth"] = { 1, "Bantha"}
unitList["armamd"] = { 3, "Arm AntiNuke"}
unitList["armcom"] = { 1, "Arm Comm"}
unitList["armdecom"] = { 1, "Arm Decoy Comm"}
unitList["armsilo"] = { 1, "Arm Nuke"}
unitList["armbrtha"] = { 1, "Arm LRPC"}
unitList["armemp"] = { 1, "Arm EMP Launcher"}
unitList["armsilo"] = { 1, "Arm Nuke"}
unitList["armguard"] = { 1, "Arm T1 Plasma"}
unitList["armshltx"] = { 1, "Arm Gantry"}
unitList["armscab"] = { 3, "Arm Mobile AntiNuke"}
unitList["armvulc"] = { 1, "Arm Vulcan"}
unitList["aafus"] = { 1, "Arm Adv Fusion"}
unitList["corsilo"] = { 1, "Core Nuke"}
unitList["corint"] = { 1, "Core LRPC"}
unitList["coremp"] = { 1, "Core EMP Launcher"}
unitList["corsilo"] = { 1, "Core Nuke"}
unitList["corpun"] = { 1, "Core T1 Plasma"}
unitList["corgant"] = { 1, "Core Gantry"}
unitList["cormabm"] = { 3, "Core Mobile AntiNuke"}
unitList["corbuzz"] = { 1, "Core Buzzsaw"}
unitList["cafus"] = { 1, "Core Adv Fusion"}
unitList["cortoast"] = { 1, "Core T2 Plasma"}
unitList["corfmd"] = { 3, "Core AntiNuke"}
unitList["gorg"] = { 1, "Juggernaut"}
unitList["corkrog"] = { 1, "Krogoth"}
unitList["corcom"] = { 1, "Core Comm"}
unitList["cordecom"] = { 1, "Core Decoy Comm"}

Basically every single factory, plus some of the bigger T2 defensive / offensive emplacements like tac nukes.

edit: nevermind

man you really really should have OldBAlayout widget set to default - i dont know why anyone would ever want that ancient menu

[TradeMark]

HEREBY I SHOW EVERYONE HOW TO MAKE THIS NEW BA VERSION USABLE:

1) Press F11
2) Disable "LolUI"
3) Enable "Old BA Layout"

YYAY

I got kinda panic when i saw some shitty UI which chat text was under minimap, or couldnt resize/move minimap and stuff like that. also some useless button in middle of my screen which was menu or something, it overlapped the F11 list so i got even more panic because i couldnt be sure was under that button some widget which disables that shit.

But its alright now, i feel better, i took some pills to calm me down, and drinking booze now to get over with it. Tomorrow i will feel better.

Thanks Regret and your LolUI!

Edit: windowed mode is that what fucks everything up if you resize the window later.

Will the newbs please calm down and use Ice UI...

[TheFatController]

He does have a point in one respect:

[14:52:02] <TradeMark> you didnt think windowed mode
[14:53:26] <TradeMark> first i open window as 1024x768
[14:53:30] <TradeMark> then i maximize it
[14:53:19] <TradeMark> 1680x1050

I tested this by running 800x600 spring in windowed mode and maximising it to 1280x1024 and the UI components don't follow the screen edges (you can reset UI and its fine but you'd have to do that every game and lose your customisations).

Hopefully this will only affect a tiny percentage of players tho!
