Re: Elite mod on mac

A mac user asked me for help on steam a while back. Here's the zip I made him

Worked fine for him but finding players was a more depressing story apparently it's not compatible with windows or linux users. Good luck

It makes defensive SUT play worse and offensive SUT better.

Re: Pausing replays?

You can launch Elite in dev mode (add to -dev to launch options. replays work as normal in dev mode) where you can pause without the menu showing iirc. I don't have the commands at hand though, ask Indrid he can fill you in.

Re: Courage damage protection from Cover

It just makes suppression so much stronger defensively since you can't counter it with abilities like aiming wotz dat or counter-suppression. It changes only suppression_pvp weapons. Aiming wotz dat and other abilities shouldn't be affected. Wasn't the idea behind this change that if you are in hea...

Re: 2.5.1 Bugs/Issues

The logarithmic function was just one option to decrease the probability of knockback the longer you are into the ability. Why? Well because you don't want chain-knockback, which is addressed by the probability decreasing over time. I wouldn't use log for this, eg 1 - t/5 (where t = time elapsed) w...

Re: buffs and abilities

Most spells aren't affected by buffs, and many do fixed damage regardless things like retreat or damage reduction. Projectile abilities like grenades (including stikks) are generally weapon based and therefore affected by these buffs though. There are odd ones like PC sword that is a weapon but with...

The functionality exists and not just for tanks. The problem is making it intuitive and avoid situations where it's not clear whether the unit is or isn't in cease fire.

I converted all your files found in Attrib to a common fieldnames.flb and at least it seems to load without crash

Include our gameattrib_orig.sga if you want the NO updates and follow Windu's post to avoid any crashes.

Re: Army painter crashes

Your attrib files are a mess with conflicting fieldname indexes. Just take a look at ebps\pvp\race_marine\vehicles\sm_sicaran.rbf. You'll need to get them in order first before doing any updates. Also not sure why you have 2 attrib directories?
