Post Re: [WIP] Unmapped Lands B26 R6 (Difficulty levels, Missions)
Right now you can't disable drop pods. I messed up with ratios though, it should be 1 droppod wave to 5-6 dropships but it's currently way haigher. R6.1 is coming though with fix to that. Just can't wait to R7 to introduce "Rapid Buy" feature :)

UPD:

Updated, and with new fancy feature which I believe will greatly increase gameplay dynamics.

You can quickly buy troops using predefined presets. Presets are defined in faction .lua files. To order a preset select any friendly AHuman actor, press down until preset selection UI appears. Use left and right to select preset, press down to order, up or switch actor to cancel. Cargo delivered to current actor position, drop zones ignored. Currently only vanilla factions have presets (I'll update other factions later, you can help with it!), but you can define your own. You can use only ACDropships, AHumans and HDFirearms in presets. You can order one actor per dropship with any weapons. Use icons to distinguish presets. If you don't like them, you can add your own images with your troops, or icons or whatever you need to make it look great.

Hope it works :) Feedback will be really appreciated!

Looks like you packed an existing CURRENT.dat into the archive. Not a big deal, but I thought I should point it out so as to hopefully not confuse anyone else too badly about why they are not getting the normal faction selection at the start.

The new scenes look better.
Gotcha!'s map pack stuff should completely become part of the game.

Anyway, now the mission in which I've got to disable the cloning vats is easier enough to prevent rage quits.

Updated to R7. Custom music, built-in mission pack, more predefined buy presets. Rapid-buy controls changed. Activate - triple down, left-right - select preset, up - confirm, down - cancel.

its in two parts so extract and merge the 2 resulting files

You can use quotes in names, just put \ in front of it. For example Slugga Boy "Djuiz" in Lua code will be "Slugga Boy \"Djuiz\""

Just unzip the archive to your CC folder, the music will get to UnmappedLands.rte/Music.

The drop AI could do with smartening up on the map where you have to scale the diagonal-ish fortress on the east side of the map, with your team on the west. Guards do eventually get into the main corridor but I'm seeing the hangars getting blocked up by a lot of junk from dropships crashing each other.

Less frequent deliveries and enforcing alternating drops might be in order.

Arcalane, agree. Dropships loose their minds there.

Weegee, did i miss anything or is it not possible to make AI and Quick Buy presets spawn in an ARocket (I'm thinking a DropPod) instead of an AShip?
I prefer my and enemy troops to be delivered in Drop Pods, that way there's less mess on the map and more actual Actor/Actor combat.

EDIT: Attack 1 map is very difficult for vanilla factions, especially dummies. First pillar is way too far to the left to be able to reliably fly to it.

Yeah only ACDropships allowed in quick buy for now. Enemies can be delivered in dropships and rockets it depends on mission. Attack missions use only dropship delivery, while defence use both with I guess about 1:6 doppod:dropship ratio, but it changes for some defence missions.

And dummies. They're just too weak and their limited weapon range makes them even weaker. You can try to takedown AA with scouting rifle and then land a dropship with a swarm of dummies between two first towers. Or try to use teleporter.

I see. By the way, there's a possible design error that I discovered.
Teleporter is supposed to move units from the place where you can spawn units to a place where your brain is (basically) right now, since you have to be at the place to set destination.
Quick Buy sort of makes Teleporter a bit useless since there's almost no reason to teleport units instead of just ordering an army with quick buy, the results are near identical and teleporting is more dangerous.

P.S. Would it be possible to put "Buy X", "Attack", "Defend", etc. buttons into the pie menu? It would make the whole thing sooo much easier to use.

P.P.S. Current preset icons are quite awful, would you like to have some proper icons in this style? I'd be glad to contribute.
