I just tried this for the first time, but my game froze. I expect it's not compatible with the Shipwreck Mod for FA. I know you are busy with other things, but it would be cool if the 2 could be made to work together. Ships can be pretty expensive, and I like being able to recover something when they sink.

Stuart

It doesnt need to be compatible. WoF has its own implementation of shipwreckage so you dont need to enable the shipwreck mod.

Thanks, I missed that.
Unfortunately, it still freezes for me. Has anyone tried this with 3603?

I'm running these mods, and I've never had any freezing before I installed WoF.

4DC .7, 4DC Build Patterns, 4DC WoF .6, Alternate Cloak Fix, BlackOps Global Icon Support 5, BlackOps Naval Rebalance 1.2, BlackOps Special Weapons 1.3, BlackOps Unleashed 5.1, Balance Changes 5.1, BugFix Patch V4 beta 1B, Necro Bot, Shadow Queue.

Ya, the mod is freezing for me as well. I am using 3603 with most of the mods you have mentioned (DMS instead of BOGIS, and now i have to find out what is necrobot). Not quite sure what is causing this though.

Yes, WOF is incompatible with the ship wreck mod. Both do the same thing. It could be that 3603 is the problem. Now that I think of it, I don't think it was ever tested on 3603.

Well i can say that it does have some issues with Air units "moving to an invalid coordinate". I'm thinking that this happens when a unit dies in some way thats beyond the scope of the sim.

Maybe at some point either me or Brute will get around to making a v0.7 addressing some of these issues.

Resin

First there needs to be a complete list with all issues cause right now it's very shady what the problems are. First we had the problem where the mod would not work nicely with the transport mod of.. Seiya if I remember correctly. He worked on it but I never found out whether he fixed the issue in his mod that cuased the problems. Now there is the freezing of the game and it's not clear (to me) what the conditions are to make this happen. So far I'm guessing it has to do with 3603 but that's just a guess.

i use the 3603 patch and have the freezing problem too. and it seems random when it freezes ive had it happen 10 mins in to a game at T1 stage in 1v1s and 8 player games and late game around 1 hour 30 mins in when everyone is at T4.

but it doesn't crash using just 4DC, Alternate Cloak Fix, Shadow queue and WOF, but it does when i used ether all the BO mods and/or FAP (version 23, so a bit out of date)

ive only tested it once with just the 4DC mods so it might of been a off chance it didn't freeze. So ill try a few more games tomorrow and see what happens.

At the moment im using the old aircraft wreckage mod instead which runs fine

The only way to provide proper feedback is to run only WOF in a full 6-8 player game and log the lua errors that pop up.

Resin

I've never run a log file before, so I'm not sure if this is what you want. The last lines of the file before it freezes are:

I have seen alot of those errors generated by the bugfix mod.

yeah... this would definetly freeze the game

It seems related to the transport droping units when crashing functionality implemented by BO but I thought they had get rid of it in 5.1 ?

They missed some files. It is apparently fixed in V5.2

Resin, in my tests that error message deosn't freeze the game. It's an error message I put in WOF, it's not generated by the engine. The game seems to have progressed beyond that error. Judging from just that log I'd say this is not directly related to WOF.

Well the one thing that I've see that consistent is that this always seams to happen with air units.

Resin

Hmm, is it just me or is it everyone..? Air units don't leave reclaimable wreckage when they die, i mean their corpses are still there, but its in full color instead of the black wreckage I usually see. , and they cannot be reclaimed.

Looks like something goes wrong when the unit goes from "unit" to "wreckage". This doens't happen on my PC. Try it with all other mods disabled.

ive only seen that happen with transports on a survival map.

This sounds like a conflict with the residual blackops transport code, but without a log of a game where it happened, it would be impossible to say for certain. So, record and pastebin a log.

Hmm, it appears (to me) that air units specifically were leaving unreclaimable corpses, naval units leave regular wreckage and I have not used ground units (its a campign game, most of my units are structures) any idea whats wrong? log file here (could not paste on pastebin, it was too large): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23843338/FALog.txt

EDIT: Transports on the ground leave regular wreckage, but all aircraft that was shot out of the air leave unreclaimable wreckage.

Very cool mod! Thanks
But the distance is a bit funny looking... how would i go about tuning it down to say... 1/4th of the current flight distance?
edit: nvm i found it in hook/lua/sim/weapon.lua
And the mod seems to be incompatible with 4thdim explosions and total veterancy

Lock this thread as it will no longer be suported via GPGnet.

Resin

Can you upload stuff to moddb instead then?

i believe that is where resin and domino plan to relocate.
