Full Override on an ABA fruit-flavored MEC gives strange results
*******THIS IS NOT A TRUE BUG REPORT ******************** But rather is a heads-up if/when others raise this issue. It appears that a specialist can be offered to run a Full Override on MECs which aren't supported. I bet there's something in the code which asks "is it a MEC?" and if yes, t...

Re: RemoveFortressDoom not working, plus "Cheat Removal" message
The "Cheat Removal" pop up means that it is working. And you mean by that, that when the RemoveFortressDoom command executes correctly, that the "Cheat Removal" message shows up? That verbiage strikes me as really strange. Furthermore I experimented with making it remove a varie...

Re: Was 1.3 a botched rollout, or a just sign of what's to come?
I'll note that all of our work on 1.2 and 1.3 has been on a voluntary and unpaid basis Ok well that sheds a good deal of light on things. I had that general impression but it means more to hear it from the source. I'm both more thankful for the work that has gone into the patches, and also more und...

Re: Was 1.3 a botched rollout, or a just sign of what's to come?
First of all Bilfdoffle THANK YOU so much for your reply which I consider both thoughtful and cordial. In contrast to what I've seen from others in the past it's a great breath of fresh air. Really? I'm sorry if you felt the migration from 1.2 to 1.3 was too difficult. No-warning updates are the nat...

Re: Was 1.3 a botched rollout, or a just sign of what's to come?
I doubt that the extra time it takes to upload both 1.2 and 1.3 to Nexus mods is much of a consideration when taken in context of the volume of work put into LW2. I suspect that supporting Steam is a constant thorn in PI's side, and that they'd frankly rather just have it only on Nexus mods, but tha...

Was 1.3 a botched rollout, or a just sign of what's to come?
I'm wondering if the team considers that asking players to run a series of console commands and editing config files, plus uninstalling the mod and reinstalling (plus other dependent mod juggling) or simply just suggesting players restart their whole campaign ( http://pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/v...

RemoveFortressDoom not working, plus "Cheat Removal" message
Just tried using the RemoveFortressDoom console command, with my doom meter one square from the end, and the game suddenly showed the meter maxed out, then moved it back to where it had been before, and showed the message "Cheat Removal" up on the screen.
Is this the intended behavior??

Re: Has anyone got instantaneous respec to work?
A different approach to achieve the same result (if I'm understanding you correctly) is via the console command: MakeSoldierAClass MakeSoldierAClass "Fname Lname" ClassName Where ClassName can be: LWS_Assault LWS_Shinobi LWS_Grenadier LWS_Sharpshooter LWS_Ranger LWS_Specialist LWS_Technica...

Re: Lothing for the new patch 1.3
I am pissed now at the LW2 staff for 100% dismissing the comment and making me feel insulted by them. What they should of said was NOTHING or asked why I felt that way. I don't care if the rest of you insult me. Hell that's all you guys have been doing because I dared to disagree with your thoughts...

Hermescostell, for the good of the thread please ignore the above post by Fred. This thread has gotten pretty fun, eh? LOL!

Sure. Would you like to hear only my criticisms, or would you also like my sense of what a solution might be for them?

Re: [Edit]LW2 v1.2 just isn't fun YET
It's worth noting that the latest group of people invited by JL to be playtesters came from these very forums Right: the inner circle has been asked to help with the game, making it ever more appealing to the inner circle.

Re: LW2 just isn't fun
Constructive criticism on the mod is welcome. However, starting off your post with I know how things go, and there's going to eventually be a little club of a few hundred players who all continue to exclaim that "it's fun - and if you don't think it's fun, then don't play it" is a very ba...

Re: LW2 just isn't fun
The only people we are looking to for examples of "how to do it right" are playtesters with a zillion hours of gameplay under their belts, who are held up as examples of "how doable it is" (xwynns, joINrbs). ...it's just plain not correct to say that it is designed only for peop...

Re: Is there an easy way to get a soldier's ObjectID?
For anyone arriving here who wants to change an existing Soldier Ability using this command - unless I'm mistaken - it's not actually possible.
