SS2 TF's Secmod 2.8 [obsolete]

[674101f632882Lieste]

Changed to Secmod 2.8 from 2.7 and restarted.

Now I also cannot repair turrets (can hack them ok) successful repair leaves a 'broken' turret without function.
The localised feedback is working as expected without trouble (two steps).
The Elevator-puzzle didn't work either on the second go (after reloading the section) - the direction wasn't reversed as on the first attempt. Not a problem as it isn't necessary to fix it to get up, but still not correct.
Issues with Cyber-mesh and not being invisible to security, it worked for a bit, then was hit&miss. I gave up on it and leaded up a suit of heavy armour.

Liked the changes to where-am-I? Glitching cyber-assassins, the 'crates' and the Showdown. Made a mess of my inventory and what I brought from Rickenbacker > Many > WAI, but had enough to deal with the problem (PSI use made up for the lack of ammunition/no heavy weapons).

The wormheart(?) anti-toxin implant brought the performance down to zero framerate inside the BotM, so I ditched it and had acceptable speed. A continual stream of debug messages were visible.

Is this version of the laser pistol as stand-alone weapon mod available?

Or did I miss something?

Wow in August 2009 - long time ago^^ Maybe there is now a way to get the laser as a stand-alone mod? Of course I tried the Tacticool laser bit its blue and it hase only the small beam^^

[674101f632e52Kolya]

Pretty sure that's the regular Tacticool laser gun on overload setting.

EDIT: If that isn't it yet, try adding the Secmod fix for the laser pistol to the regular laser pistol. It contains only a red texture and a weapon model.

EDIT2: However it may be that TF changes the gun models on the fly for overload via the gamesys, in which case no exact standalone model is possible. You could still overwrite the blue texture and model though to always have a red gun.

***Found a fix for the aforementioned bulkhead crash***

Step 1: Drop EVERYTHING in inventory, including armor and implants, but NOT INSIDE the bulkhead area.  An ideal location would be the lobby area after you leave the tram.

Step 2: Go through the Command bulkhead. The game will not crash IF you have *absolutely nothing* in your inventory AND there were no items in the bulkhead.

Step 3: Go back through the bulkhead to the previous area. Pick up and re-equip all the stuff you dropped; now is a good time to re-organize things.

*You may now go through the Command bulkhead without any further problems.*

What exactly the problem is, I have no ****ing idea, I'm only a very amateur DromEditor. Hopefully this can put someone more knowledgeable on the right track to fixing it.

Also: Lieste's error with not being able to fix the feedback loop can be worked around by saving and then reloading, or going back through a bulkhead and returning. Some kind of trigger isn't firing properly.

This.  The model changing depending on weapon mode is a SecMod feature, requiring gamesys changes and custom scripts.

Sorry to bug everyone that knows what they are doing, (eq, everyone but me), but, any news on SHEMP and SECMOD affiliating?

Feel free to bash me over the head with a psi-amp for bringing up an ancient request.

[674101f63360fDelta41]

Also, weird bug (will post screenies later). Not sure what happened, but suddenly I can't access the 'right clicks' in my SS2. Normal weapons, nothing, new weapons, nothing. Items, nothing.. For reference to those that are more intelligent, here's my mod list as of now:

{ } ADoB
{ } Ejecting Brass
{X} Secmod fix for tacticool laser pistol
{X} SHTUP Beta 6
{X} PSI Amp v2
{} Rebirth Midwife Skin
{X} Kolya's Loading Screen
{X} Rebirth 02 (Is that how it's supposed to show up?) (First Mod Loaded)
{X} ss2_schatten_shmup1.1
{X} SecMod Rebirth (loaded after Secmod Main. 3rd to be loaded)
{X} ss2_tf_secmod_2.8 (Second mod loaded)
{X} tacticool assault rifle
{X} " Grenade Launcher
{X} " Laser Pistol
{X} " Shotgun
{X} " wrench fix (loaded after secmod and tacticool wrench)
{X} " wrench
{X} Vurt's flora overhaul

Side note, I summoned the new weapons with the console. It was after that, it seems, that this whole ordeal went tango uniform. Several restarts have not fixed this.

Advice?

Broken Use/Shoot Mode Problem

[674101f6337f1Delta41]

Thanks, and I was wondering what keybind fix was in the tools menu. 


Forgive me, I'm only a moron 65% of the time.

[674101f6338cbKolya]

Don't worry about it, it's a very common bug.

[674101f633a04Lieste]

Actually it seemed the 'problem' was that 'fixing' the feedback loop is a two stage problem - fixing the loop is only part of it - forcing the loop to be used is also required.

Is Engineering the only deck with the multiplayer issue where you end up "waiting for other players", or does other decks have the same problem?

I understand it is possible to get past engineering in multiplayer by using a non secmod version, even if it may cause other problems. I am worried that other decks may have the same issue too tho', and I may just end up causing a mess.

Also, seeing how this does not occur before engineering, perhaps someone knows what the problem is? Perhaps it could be fixed without changing too much?

What mods is the Snecmod 2.8 compatibile with?

[674101f633cfeKolya]

See my answer to your thread here.

[674101f633df5Liam]

Strange when ever I use this mod I keep being shown debug messages and also when using the wormheart implant I can a spam off messages saying "NVSpy: "Timer" on Player (56) from (0)"

[674101f633ee5Kolya]

That's one of Nameless Voice's scripts which TF used there. The bug was mentioned earlier on this page by Lieste too.
The fix for now is not to use the wormheart.

[674101f634183ThiefsieFool]

Weird thing is I checked out the version from the main post and there's no NVSpy script on implants or on the player.

[674101f634273Nameless Voice]

Maybe an old version of the mod?

[674101f634402ThiefsieFool]

Just in case you can try this script file, it might

[674101f6345a9Liam]

I found out it doesn't spam any messages as long as the wormheart isn't powered, so when in your inventory it has no percentage number on top of the icon. The way I worked around it was by taking it out of my inventory when recharge at a charging station, this was tedious especially when I forgot to take it out but stopped the unholy spam off the "beep" sound effect and the messages which pop up rapidly. Also when I moved about or hit something it would also give a message about colliding on player or something like that. Also I tried the script but it doesn't work but thank you for supplying it.

[674101f6346aeNameless Voice]

It "doesn't work"?

[674101f6348faLiam]

It "doesn't work"?

Yes, it doesn't work in the sense that it doesn't prevent the spam off messages when the wormheart implant is powerd.

[674101f634a1aThiefsieFool]

The wormheart implant isn't supposed to be powered, I made all the worm implants work without requiring power since you have to research them, but looks like the recharger will power them anyway and that's bugging out something in the player scripts.
