SS2 TF's Secmod 2.8 [obsolete]

[66f8585c73cc0Zach]

Ive only found 3 problems so far,  as soon as you get off the elevator in the beginning of the game right above you theirs an out of place static sign, and near there theirs a happy noodles sing that now clips into a building, the last problem is that it overwrites many of the sign and decal textures added by schup with the original low res vanilla versions.

I've noticed that the laser pistol and laser turret laser beams don't completely fade away, so after firing the laser pistol in quick succession or running by a laser turret leaves these really ugly floating contrails behind. Is this something that only happens to me, or is it a know bug?

maybe this will help: https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=25.msg8168;topicseen#msg8168

Yeah it worked, the beams now disappear completely. Thanks.

Turns out my problem wasnt shtup but a conflict with adaob's shemp textures. If you could add the shemp textures to the .mis files in secmod for the 2.9 release that would be amazing.

Hi Thiefsiefool,

I don't know if you still hang around these boards but i have a big favor to ask you....

Could you possibly make a quick mod that just has the;

'Stackable handgrenades and other throwables'

part of your mod?

I am not ready to take the plunge yet for your full mod (which looks excellent by the way) but i really hate the space that all these grenades etc use up in your inventory.

Just wondered if it was easy to do or not.

I have tried using the editor myself but i am getting nowhere!

Anyway, if you or anyone can help me out that would be great.

[66f8585c7468eThiefsieFool]

Sounds like you want multiple grenade types to stack, this mod doesn't really do that though and I'm not sure how you would do it either. That's all I got.

[66f8585c747bdsnigglesx]

Okay.

Thanks for the reply.

If i stumble across a way to do it i will post on the board.

I will try out your full mod on my second play through the game.

WOW - forgot how blooody good this game is - may even delay me from playing Diablo 3 in 4 days time!

Sorry for repeating the question but has anyone managed to fix the engineering bug in multiplayer? Does it always occur? After testing out the mod in singleplayer a friend and I would really like to play together thanks to all the neat features and upped difficulty. Thanks to the creator of the mod in any case, really nice work.

[66f8585c749fbGiggyTheEvil]

Good stuff.
Refreshed the SS2 experiences something fierce.

[66f8585c74af4Selageth]

Is there a way to change/reduce the difficulty setting for multiplayer games? The current setting is a little bit too extreme for my tastes.

[66f8585c74bceTolppi]

So you are playing the mod in multiplayer? Did you get past engineering?

[66f8585c74ca5Selageth]

We are still in Med/Sci as of now. Why, is there a critical bug concerning deck 1?

[66f8585c74db9Selageth2]

(Writing as selageth2 since my email verification doesn't seem to work)

So I take it that there is some sort of serious bug in engineering. Maybe we'll try multiplayer without secmod then. However I'd still like to change the difficulty setting for a vanilla SS2-multiplayer session. Is that possible?

[66f8585c7510evoodoo47]

my email verification doesn't seem to work

it should now, try again.

I haven't tried Secmod in multiplayer yet but I did read through this thread and people have mentioned the game stops working when trying to enter Engineering in multi. No one has posted a solution to it so I'm assuming it still happens. You could try though I guess, I mean it isn't that far into the game.

[66f8585c754a7Selageth2]

Nope, still no dice with the user account, voodoo. I didn't get a new activation email (not even in the SPAM folder).

@Tolppi
Well I guess we'll just try it out then. But there's still the point on how to change the difficulty setting (with or without secmod). Any ideas?

[66f8585c755b8Tolppi]

I'm not 100% sure but I think the only option for changing difficulty is to edit the files yourself, since the MP difficulty mod posted in other threads can't be run at the same time with Secmod. So it's a choice between the two I'm afraid. Please let know if Engineering works or not though.   

[66f8585c756a5Selageth2]

Hmmm, now I just have to find out where in the mod files that setting is located.
Thanks. I'll keep you updated on whether we make it through the engineering deck or not.

Are you able to try an alternative email address?  I've checked and your activation emails were accepted by your mail server so it may be some filtering in place on your email host.

Hmmm, now I just have to find out where in the mod files that setting is located.

There's no one single setting for difficulty, but rather hundreds of different options and changes scattered throughout the entire gamesys.
SecMod uses a somewhat complicated difficulty adjustment script that adjusts property values (hit points, move speed, damage, etc.) of various enemies based on the difficulty.

[66f8585c75e72Stefano]

hello guys I have a problem at the very beginning of the game, using this mod: it seems that there's no battery to charge at the first room where's the first charge station, in order to open the door to exit from there.

Thank you for helping me !

Stefano

look around the room, there should be something you can force open with your wrench.
