Stock mechs are mostly done. Maybe 1 or 2 more "tribute" mechs, or maybe not. Maybe do the Elemental?DONE. Leaving as is.
Need to clean up reader: maps & any files affected by tranquil nuclear winter must be made original. IA new location maps need to be reverted back to original. DONE.
Sounds...AC's impacts still need tweaking for explosion noise.DONE. Expert campaign dialogues...can be done later? YES. Still need to do more heavy ppc thunder sounds.DONE.
Bushwacker needs to be fixed so training missions work? is this the problem or something else? I think so..bushie is hard coded into training missions just like in op1m1. THIS WILL NOT GET FIXED FOR THIS MODULE. IN ORDER TO EXPEDIATE THIS RELEASE I'VE DECIDED THIS WILL HAVE TO BE ACCEPTABLE FOR NOW. IN A FUTURE RE-RELEASE IT WILL BE ADDRESSED.
Daishi file must be fixed. Either do over or fix through vb6.
Double-check all weapons/effects damages/velocities/impact force and tweak as needed; bring damage down across the board 20%; Some velocities may have to come down for fairness, like the ATM's....or rather the recycle timesDONE...Thought of adding: More "electric" impact effects to PPC's; AC's explosion visual added to default impacts, not just mechs, DONE. Add something to LBX impacts? Add impact force to some weapons? DONE.
Check all firing visuals on all weapons; Look for old AC's that might seem to go too long;DONE. using different visuals.
Mess with ams, see if it can be tweaked to not be so powerful; IF MEMORY SERVES THIS MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE. DONE.
Check vehicle loadouts and turret loadouts.DONE..do the mix on choppers, DONE..add in extra firepoints and load them anyway in hopes of discovering how to add them in the gamez's later...same thing with other vehicles WILL BE DONE ON A LATER VERSION.
Stock mechs must be checked for heat management, so need testing on normal maps: DONE.
There is an issue somewhere in the main reader file that is affecting the training missions. I have a theory as to what is the cause, but can only solve it by doing a somewhat controlled START FROM SCRATCH. So, in order to release something since it's been such a long wait I will release the weapons module WITH THIS GLITCH: It will corrupt the training missions so that when you try to launch the training missions the game will crash. I will do a re-release later to fix this, but it may be a while.
Finish texturing PPC's and Gauss: WORKING
Create installer.
Upload.
SO...the above is a basic punch list of what's left on the next module, should be done soon and put up on the downloads page. Couple weeks maybe? Excited!!
Bring the Paine!
