Two other fixes I forgot to mention are the missing snow radar-maps and and more interest to the whole community a fix to tileset 45 Queen's Tropical (original game had the wrong p-roof1 & p-roof2 in the (T) folder so going to view of whole map was rendered all wrong... ok so it makes no real difference but it does get you wondering what other mistakes there are) Smile

Great work on fixing that radarmap tileset.

There are obviously several map related doodlebops. I think Kriplo may have fixed the weirdo cliff rendering problem but my lack of trust in the newer versions of the 1.13 keep my testing here at a minimum.

If only we had a pre 2085 version with his map editor fixes...

I think I have also solved the riddle of why the crepitus only ever seem to activate at Drassen. The fix is very simple but I'm going to hold fire on what it is until I've tested it. Just think having to fight through caves you've never been in, in a whole decade of playing the damn game!

yup I have vague memories of it working in other places pre the 1.07 patch but back then I was a really bad player and avoided sci-fi coz I found it too tough even on novice!

Up, up, up the stairs we goes; & after the stairs.... the Tunnel.

Shitbag the fix will take even more cunning than I first thought but I'm on it now like badger trying to dig up some tasty bunnies. I can smell the little morsels but I can't quite reach.

I like their tenacity. Besides pound for pound they are one of the toughest creatures on earth (even bears avoid digging badgers up).

Whilst mucking around with fixes I have also written my best palette I reckon. It restores the JA world to more colours than original mfm but they are more to my liking and used differently. Elite still Black, Regular & Admin Grey. Militia cycle through three subtle types of Greenish. An autumn Yellow and an autumn Red now in. Blue much better. Dark Green much better.

Sci-fi quest half fixed (or is that one third fixed?) Cambria & Alma yet to activate... I keep going until all four work then make patch for MFM & patch for Vanilla.

Even if I never manage to activate Cambria & Alma I will release what I've done so far coz the variation of the two mines is better than just Drassen time after time after time.

Definitely worth doing someday, Hicks, Vasquez, the drop ship pilot intead of Skyrider, Newt instead of Pacos etc but only if Kaerar did some nice Aliens weaponry & associated sound files! For now I just want to get Cambria & Alma working as possible activate locations, that'll do for me.

I like the auto-sentries too even though they do run out of ammo in seconds flat. The smart thing Vasquez & Drake have would be really hard to implement: part Flamer, part LMG, part RPGL!

Sounds would have to be ripped from the film and put through the 8bit mangle (that's actually the easy bit).

Distracted & confused & generally annoyed by the crepitus. Meanwhile I've added Mary, Joey & Oswald to Scorpions PCM (with the help of the good arachnid himself). Check out Off Topic's User Made Mods Thread & scroll down to the PCM "page".

I have sent Off Topic a refined version of PCM Plus 3 which doesn't cause any crashes. I am an idiot sometimes but glad I got to the bottom of what was going wrong. If you can't be bothered to download again this is what you must do. Go into SPEECH and delete any WAV file that looks like a battlesnd (things that end with mostly letters rather than numbers e.g. ATTN or LMOK1) but leave the associated GAP files as they really are meant to be there. Millions of apologies to anybody who has had a crashtastic time because of this. Forgive me Father for I am a worm, lash lash etc.

Hold your fire, I will not harm you... OT still has to replace some files; later today and all will be well.

Playing MFM + Fixed PCM3 on three games (Novice/Normal/Expert). In 1st game have hired all PCM recruits except Darrel (man he just won't join) and have had NO crashes whatsoever since discovering my self inflicted glitch and fixing it.

yes but it is npc & quest safe provided you can "open" the shed during the battle with queen's troops. I've looked in quest edit and marrying Flo to his dad is an important criteria but still doesn't seem to do the trick... for me anyway. Dammit I want to hear Khorr's hick lines in game! All the others join up no problems inc my newer three. Joey is super speedy (ah the unfettered joys of youth) and turns into an ok merc pretty quick too.

And here I was thinking you'd get a kick out of my butchered cockney lines. They had a couple friends shooting beer out of their noses. I suppose they might not translate very well over the pond.

Accents are very hard to master. If you could distinguish between Glasgow & Edinburgh, and then take them off convincingly you'd be an actor of oscar potential. The differences between Dublin & Belfast. The subtle distinction between Cornwall & Devon etc. All you ever see on TV is super duper posh (non regional) and some kind of generic esturine cockney (which is also butchered so I think people would laugh here too... we're quite hard to offend really).

Yeah, my excuse was that he spent most of his youth in Canada but... I'm really excited to see what the modders are doing these days. I have a feeling a really great one is in the making.

Well, I am an optimist after all. I still believe in SFI Clause if you can believe that.

2 that I know of (but then again you're aware of both of those too). Such a shame good Sir Tech died fighting the evil dragon of Bangk Rupcii. SFI Clause is another matter; dormant not dead.

PCM plus 3. Final Cut or 3rd time lucky. I was still having the odd crash because the memory in turn based occasionally went over the limit. Dammit Musky why? Ah I see. Where possible all sound files now converted to EXACT JA2 FORMAT (half the size) plus Mary given buddy lines for John. Scorpion & I discussed this area and there is a lot more to do e.g. Matt & Dynamo or all the miners hate Calvin... however I won't be the one to do it. I busy with other stuff now. Will send Off Topic the final cut of PCM plus 3 later today
