This is an official thread for reporting bugs found in the latest version of Discovery - Discovery 4.82 - and for proposing new features for future mod versions. If you feel that something's wrong with the mod, even if it's something minor, leave a message here.

Do not post anything related to server crashes, characters etc., keep this thread only mod-related. Also please don't double post: if you have something minor to add to your previous post, better edit old post. This does not apply if you have something important to add or to discuss.

And, of course, you may comment on what others proposed or reported, post your general impressions and thoughts on the new version. Every opinion is valuable for making this mod better than it ever was.

[Nightfall]

Ok, thread closed. It's not good that it gets too large, might cause forum DB errors. I'll start a new one.

I don't accept submissions of DLL and EXE files. All texts are inserted into dll by me. You'll have to accept it or never submit any files.

OK, then if I get it right, the changes to the .dll go in a text file for submission, not a problem.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

[Nightfall]

Just a question, Igiss, the items that are gonna be sold/purchased on the bases in our systems (the systems that we create/edit), do we add them or are they gonna be put in by you?

Same for ships. I need to know about those too.

Theoretically, you should open goods.xls and add your commodity sections in the same format as there, later send me the code along with infocard text in simple text file.

This should be done to avoid submitting general files, e.g. goods.ini file that's responsible for all bases in Freelancer universe. I cannot check submissions like that.

[Yngen]

I will summarize what seems to be the going views:

1)RH bomber adjustment: one of 3 things to do to this: reduce the armor/nano/bot count or reduce speed/manueverability or reduce weapon classes
-korrd would prefer to have the armor/nano/bots reduced over the others and I agree
-also restrict access to the ship in some way: definately remove it from Yaren base to somewhere in
Reinland, possibly on the military guard base.

2)Luxury liner: adjust in some way so that it fits the role as a civilian cruise ship, not a civilian cruiser. I.E
reduce weapon class.

3)Slipstream: reduce number of weapon mounts

4)Add more bombers to give people more options to incorporate the ship into their RP-keep the lessons learned with the RH bomber in mind when balancing them. Have house bombers more powerful than civilian bombers in some manner (if raptor is added make it similar to the taidan bomber.)

I think we need to make Novas speed WAY down. Half of its current. Its supposed to be next to useless against fighters and good against capships. As of now, its one of the best anti-fighter weapons. Speed needs to be 250 or so.

[Qunitinius~Verginix]

I agree, I think its kinda crazy how fast it currently moves. IMHO, i would say 360, because if a target is trying to escape you with cruise, then you can get them.

Verginix out

[Dab]

yes, that's what I meant, including the .dll and DATA and EXE, but removing the files you didn't modify in DATA, you zip it then, rename the file to filename.zip.flmod and you got an add-on for the disco that is activating over disco, btw, I succeded making the Arch asteroid and the chunks obsidian, fairly easy:)

I found an easy way around the problem. Poofy

And this does have to do with this thread..

If anyone finds any bugs in Vespucci or Omicron-74 (assuming they uploaded without being corrupt altogether) please post in the thread, or PM me. I want all the known bugs out before sending to Igiss.

The infocard on the 'Raiders Freighter says it has a CD slot, but there isn't one. I have a screenie if ya want it. And the Raven's claw's thruster is offset. Im going to go look at your systems now Dab.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
