SoaSe feature. Not a bug.

[Cmdr Daefaron]

Weird, I remember it working normally with showing the planets zoomed out fully (even if it was simple player-color circles), but only not showing up with the latest halo mod version .

[insaene]

Disabled the mod and checked? Maybe what you mean is disabled in the options?

[Aunt Gruntie]

From what i remember from playing multi star maps that game only shows you the player colored circles if you mouse over the star. Thats one of the reasons multi star maps are annoying to play on.

This is my first version of SotP

 

I'm quite enjoying it so far(for many many reasons), my only complaints gameplay wise as of this writing would be that the research trees feel a bit empty, the lack of the culture mechanic, and there being no static covenant orbital defenses.

 

Canon wise, I find it strange that High Charity is the covvies starbase, when Unyielding Hierophant would make more sense. But I'm sure I'll get over this.

 

I forgot something, this weird thing happens where it briefly freezes every 2/3 seconds about 45 minutes into a game(it happens on the highest and the lowest settings). I've made it LAA and have a decent computer. This does only happen on large maps though, so that is a good thing. I'm mainly curious if anyone else experiences a similar problem.

awsome mod so far keep up the good work!

It is my understanding the mod developers are currently revamping the research trees. They are also planning on making High Charity a Covenant home planet and (I think) make Unyielding Hierophant the starbase. I haven't encountered any lag after making my game LAA, but I only play large maps with one or two other AI players. Perhaps you have too many AI players in your game?

That is because even with LAA you are hitting the RAM usage limit of the Sins game engine. Nothing we can do on that one, sorry.

Fair enough, it only happens when there are supppper giant fleets flying all over the place.

Could some of the vanilla maps go back in to the mod? The new maps are good, but there's a large part of me that wants to play something other than Last Stand or the (not very) random maps.

We have every intention of adding the more popular maps back into the mod, but they require a bit of work and we're not exactly sure what are most wanted back in. Got any preferences? Maybe if people agree they can like your comment and that'll give us at least somewhere to start.

Gateway is the first that comes to mind. Along with Agamemnon's Bounty, they fit well with the whole choke-point thing. Balance of Power was also good, Hyperion's Gates, and Twin Empires. Those are the only ones I can think of off by heart. 

 

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

And in case Cole is just going to rebuild these: THIS MEANS THE ORIGINAL MAPS IN THEIR ENTIRETY. NO SPECIAL CHANGES OR THINGS YOU THINK WOULD BE COOL. THE ACTUAL MAPS.

He doesn't have to rebuild them. We can set it up via messing with the files.

oh, okay. I remember the explanation that I got is that they were broken somehow (in addition to planet types like the shattered moon and radiation storm and whatnot that come with the stellar phenomena DLC)

[Aunt Gruntie]

Hmmm the shattered moon looks so cool.

great work on the mod however for some odd reason the super carrier still disappears when it jumps in between planets

Its been fixed in the internal build.

I figure this was minor enough to not start a whole new thread about it. But:
Looking at the video from 1:36 to the other assault on camber there are at least 9 different energy projectors on the CAS.
1. Center under the bow 2. Left of center of the bow 3. Right of center on the bow 4. On the right wing of the carrier closest to the hangar. 5. On the right wing of the carrier farthest from the hangar 6. On the left wing of the carrier closest to the hangar. 7. On the left wing of the carrier farthest from the hangar 8. On the dorsal fin that destroyed the marathon in Halo 2 9. Near the gravity lift.

I guess my question/ suggestion is will the CAS have more than one projector in the next build?
