hmm no need to tone it down a lot... I like tha challenge! maybe I simply was too busy destroying the base... what I ask is: are the units you've placed the same of the space battles? because if you turn the corellian corvette down it's going to be hard for the rebels to strike

Well I seem to have hit a snag  :(

 

I can't seem to get the X-Wing Squadrons to work properly in space.  Depending on what I do they either appear in the gallofree transport or individual x-wings.

 

When they appear in individual x-wings, each one is treated as a seperate ship.  In other words, if two of your x-wings die, they will be gone next battle too.  If one dies on the ground it is also missing from your next space battle and visa versa.  This is in itself isn't so bad, in fact I kind of like it.  The problem is it really does treat it a seperate ship in space...meaning you'd have to individually control each one instead of being able to control the squad.

 

What do you guys think?  Should I leave it likek that?  Or does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?

Hey, couldn't you just use the tie fighter group as a example?

 

No, a TIE Fighter group is a regular squadron and I can't associate squadrons with ground companies.  What I need to be looking at is Darth Vaders TIEs, because he only has the the TIE_Prototype assigned to him, yet he spawns the whole squadorn.  I just can't seem to find what piece of code does this.

Maybe a unit variant?

Ok, here is Beta 0.3

 

Updates:

 

New ships to use in land battles:

-Nebulon-B Frigate

-Acclamator

-X-Wings

 

Ground Based Turbolasers are now powerful anti-air weapons.

 

Download here: Victory Mod Beta 0.3

 

 

I decided to not include Y-Wings or Bombers as controllable units but leave in the bombing runs.

 

Note on the X-Wings:  To sucessfully associate the ground company with a space squadron, I had to make some concessions.  You can only to a one to one association (through unique_space_unit) so in the ground squadron there is a "lead" x-wing (the green one) that spawns the others.  If he dies, you loose the unit.  Similarly, in space there is a green lead x-wing that spawns the rest of the squadron using Vader's wingmate code....which means his respawn squadron button will be there...I just put a ridiculously long timer on it.  Anyway, it seemed to work pretty well in play testing, but in case you were wondering what exactly was going on, that's it.

Nice mod. In my mod I made the Field_Commanders spawn the fighter.

though there is one thing which i have yet to reach, convincing the Fighters that they are fighters not just speeders, i know, if I use the fighter_locomotor instead of flying_locomotor they will fly faster, but they will also fly with their noses pointed down.

And they don't launch attack runs, they just fly straight and shoot an because of the bank_turn_angle they hit. Setting them to fire forward or reducing the bank_turn_angle didn't seem to have the effect I wanted. Either they just don't fire anymore or never hit anything.

Have you figured out a way to change this behaviour? Or have you at least an idea how to do it?

Personally I think we cant change that, at least until we can edit the pathfinding for flying_locomotor to be more like fighter_locomotor, but I'm not sure we'll be ever able to do that. But perhaps you have another idea?
