RockPatch 1.08 - Preview

[TheMan]

Also I find hard coded 100 units limit Smile
Because it using 3 array with 100 elements
Now I think how to delete this limitation Smile

if you break that dam limit i would donate money for you and then i think everyone willl use RP

aslo the TechLevel thing is great, hope to se it in 1.08

[~Guest~]

Will the techlevel slider be default or will it have to be activated/deactivated by a mod?

[Marshall]

I hope it will have to be activated by a mod. Because, the Tech Level setup in YR may not be appropriate for use with a slider - and I also think that not every mod author will want players to be able to choose the tech level in their mod.

[Kiith-Sa]

Yeah, and with TechLevel on, you'll probably need to do a LOT of AI reworking. Anyway, it's an excellent addition and breaking the limit would be simply great (though it would also open a door for lots of n00bish mods with thousands of different units).

[VK]

Already done
Limit was extended up to 200 units
Oh, 35Ch, 4DCh , add 190h = 400
Now AI not build 105=TEST21 constantly

TechLevel slider show now always
It work with original rules good
It use valued from [MultiplayerDialogSettings] tag TechLevel  as maximum
(I set it to 12 and I can build [LUNR]

[TheMan]

Wohooooo raise to 200 , you are a great hacker, you and pd is a great RP team

[Blade]

You would need to alter several tech levels for the various possible settings to be balanced, expecially with Yuri's units where their tech levels don't maps to equivalent soviet or allied unit tech levels by default.

[DCoder]

Btw, upping the max techlevel is not a good idea, since that effectively breaks all "don't build shipyard in waterless maps" mapmods. And how does that change the special values of TL 11 and 12?

[VK]

Use TechLevel=-1 for shipyard
You can set TechLevel value in [MultiplayerDialogSettings] to 10
Now I work on Saving/Loading and AirStrip factory type

[Marshall]

I think it's quite important that the TL slider be optional. To the point that, IMO, if it can't be optional then it shouldn't be included.
Even if all the other problems were overcome, I may not want users of my mod being able to choose the Tech Level.

[VK]

It is simple to add tag in [MultiplayerDialogSettings] section ShowTechLevelSlider=[yes/no]

[~Guest~]

err sorry but what "AirStrip factory type" mean?

[DCoder]

Use TechLevel=-1 for shipyard

I am talking about mapmods, things that are already released and shouldn't lose compatibility. But since we could change that max techlevel without rp and get the game ot use it, this is a moot point.

Aside from that tangent, great job with the extension of the 100 unit limit

[VK]

BTW, Rock Patch not full compatible with original rules
I want in the future to use INIFormat=5 for maps
which will allow:
- have 16 players on map
- add mod name tag
- and another things
What think about it?

Also infantry and aircraft list have limit to 100

AirStrip factory means:
Add new tag to BuildingType
IsAirStrip=[yes/no]
If it set and Factory= set too
Building woks as Weapon Factory... but units appear from plane which drop them

[Mad Ivan]

Hmm, will this introduce a possibility to include "real" planes? I mean NOT hellcopter-styled (VTOL) as they are now.

Slightly OT: Did you get my PM?
