Thank you very much.

Okay. I put 1.4 up. I'd still strongly encourage you to get the admin of the server to update the mod server-side. I'll leave the old versions up for a while, but I will not be offering support / updates for them and I am going to be taking them down eventually.

Ugh.

Yeah I can do that. You'll probably want to update the server to 1.5 though, seeing as the version has bugfixes.

Is there a way you could now provide a standalone 1.4 download of the mod as the rustys server is autodownloading 1.5 but requires 1.4.

Even with the change I made so that you can only do loot and scoot every 20 minutes?

Missions were fun! But if we want to add this to the multiplayer server the "free loot" has to be turned down alot especially on loot and scoot.

I am probably going to do one more big breaking update to this on Saturday morning. Really hoping that it's the last one that I identify a need for for a while yet. In the meantime, I will not be taking the 1.3 version down just yet so you can keep using that if needed.

I dunno if it will work due to mod IDs but here you go:

You might need to mess with the modconfig and change it to 2733586433

yeah I'll see if I can figure something out.

@KnifeHeart is there any way you could provide a download of the 1.3 version of the mod for those of us affected by this issue? I know its a lot to ask but id be super appreciative.

thanks @Sobek :D
(I would contact them if i knew who it was, not any discord link or contact info in server description

@Gnu I just spoke with the server admin and he wont be back on until tomorrow. ill send him a message about getting the server updated when he can

The mods on a server don't automatically update. It's stupid. Talk to the server admin. They will have to manually update it.

i think killsquad might be playing on a MP server (in my case it's Epoch Echo) and despite it restarting every 6h it doesn't seem to update the mods list - yet somehow there are people playing on the server while i am unable to join having the 1.4 version

I don't think so, unfortunately. I was afraid of this happening to some people when I updated the version #. However, I really couldn't justify changes like this as a patch version. Are you playing on a server or single player?

is there a way to revert the changes to the mod ? i updated and cant get back into the game
they need to update first

There's a big update for this coming soon that I unfortunately couldn't justify as a patch version. It will be going from 1.3 to 1.4 so make sure to update your servers when it drops.

Oh yep. That sure is a bug. Okay, let me fix that.

No. He's not. He's supposed to have a half hour cooldown. Have you been encountering him more frequently than once per half hour?

Great mod! I love the missions.

But I have a little question:
Is Swenks supposed to spawn every 3-5 jumps in empty space in the outer reaches? Or is something wrong with my setup?

Awesome, thanks!

It's a track called "On Blade's Edge" from Final Fantasy XIV.

Great missions sequence! Love the encounter at the end too, and the missions didn't feel like freebies either. Playing on expert I failed the station defense because I wasn't quick enough on the draw, station died. Nicely made! I did want to ask - what music did you use for the boss? It was a great track!

yes please .-p

I should probably just make a collection of all of 'em.

Holy crap, I think I found all your missions and I find more haha :) Way to go!

I didn't think that "Defend Secret Outpost" was engaging enough for a repeat, but let me know if you want to see it and I'll look into making an extended version.

The first mission is basically a nerfed version of "Ambush Pirate Raiders" which is a separate mod I've done.

Unfortunately no. I was trying to think of a mechanism to do that but I couldn't think of one, so I just left it as is.

After you've completed the 5th mission, you can get Loot and Scoot and Junkyard Dogs from mission boards when you're far out enough from the center of the galaxy.

Great add on. Is there a way to do it over from the beginning after completing?

Yep, not worth using boss cooldown timer, all good lmao

Yeah, this doesn't work with the boss cooldown timer mod.

This popped up on the server console
[2022-08-06 17:33:12]: 'Lord of the Wastes' [2733586433] or one of its requirements is incompatible with 'Boss Cooldown Timer + Changes' [2603954055].

Thanks for the quick fix!!

Should be fixed now. Sorry for the trouble!

No problem, thank's for replying :)

Ah shoot. Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it.

Currently some issues with it not spawning enemies with the new update.

Ah, This was fun, thank you SO much for this, definitely helps with the grinding. I finished all 5 missions, nice story and no bugs for me., failed the outpost defence but got it on the next go. The loot is definitely worth it. Unfortunately I only read the strategy guide after a few hours of gameplay and did not know how to start the missions, so my ship was a bit overpowered but i truly enjoyed this. thanks, I have subscribed to all your mission mods, hope you make more.

Had a new game last night and fought Swenks. Didn’t have a problem with lag. Playing single player on five plus year old hardware. Just some FPS spikes when my turrets ripped ships apart too quickly and they warped in/out etc. No performance issues I don’t get with normal boss fights.

Aw, thank you <3

Also, I'm taking another look at the Swenks script. Hopefully I can fix the lag problem today.

Hey KnifeHeart, just wanted to say how much I appreciate all your mods. You're a gift to many players including myself.

It's a problem with the base game, then, not the mod.

Hey, its doing it again. Im sory for this, gona have to unsub until then.

Actually, someone else reported the same thing as you and I think I found the problem. It should be taken care of now.

It's probably because he brings in some friends. It's not a problem with the mod - it's a problem with how well the base game handles 15+ ships in a sector.

At the end of one of these missions, when fighting the pirate boss, Im lossing alot of FPS, causing my game to lagg ALOT. Can u check what this problem is with ur mod?

These missions are really well written. Also, they offer so much to early on to help advance in the early parts of the game. And, some good humor when dealing with the boss of these missions was good and refreshing.

I hope you do more of these for the vanilla game (doesn't need DLC to do). If you do, I would love to play them.

Razar.

Nice. I may have to play this game again sometime.
