Bleeding cool.

So that's why the pipe wrench mod wouldn't work. Looking forward to this.
Mostly thought, I'm hoping this update will fix the crashing problems I'm having with Command B.

[66f9009ace0b2The black devil]

I can't wait! Any other changes!?

[66f9009ace1b6The black devil]

Hey. Could you make the melee weapons breakable and repairable? (Although the crystal shards wouldn't be fixable, maybe just become a few smaller shards as items).

And be able to wield guns as melee weapons for when you run out of ammo?

The new model names will be properly documented now, so if you want to see only one custom wrench at all times you'll just have to overwrite 2-3 files.

And that sounds like the COM8 texture bug, both SHTUP and this mod should fix it.
Search your SS2 folder for "KOM6.PCX" and see if it's there.

First one is technically doable, but it would be pretty ridiculous and I doubt even 20% of the fanbase would support me in that decision.

Second is also doable but unfeasible, so much work when most of the time your wrench would be better anyway.

SHTUP is definatly causing the problem. Command B will not load if it is activated, no matter what order. I also could not find KOM6.PCX.

[66f9009acea34Nameless Voice]

There shouldn't be any version of SHTUP that doesn't come with a Kom6.pcx.
If you keep experiencing the problem, install ZB's Command Deck Fix.

[66f9009aceb7eZylonBane]

Actually, in the last version of SHTUP I changed "KOM6" to "COMM6". The Command Deck Fix uses the same naming.

The "K" bugged me, darn it.

[66f9009acec62Mr Rayford]

I tryied ussing the ZB Command fix as well. Command B simply refuses to load with SHTUP on.

here's a small fix if you intend to use Mercurius' kickass new laser pistol together with Secmod, without this fix you would get the old laser pistol whenever you switched to overcharge instead of this

link removed use the more up to date one

Yay!

I'm enjoying this mod very much, but man, those Hybrids are murder!  Any tips on how to deal with the new, super-fast Hybrids? 

[66f9009acf024ThiefsieFool]

Either play on a lower difficulty, where the only fast hybrids are the ones wielding crystal shards, and you can handle just shooting them from afar before they become a problem;

or step your game up

[66f9009acf127ThiefsieFool]

protip: even the fastest enemies are still confused by you continually moving to stay behind them and whack away, it's just slightly harder

First off, absolutely stunning work, I must say.  However, it was troubling me a little that the cycling animation on the top of the tacticool laser pistol turned red when set to overload, but the interior section remained blue.  I recolored hrelaseb.gif so that it matches with the red theme, but I know practically nothing about modding so I couldn't recolor the inner beam itself or make it so that it switches to the new red texture when in overload mode.  If you want to include it in a future version, here it is:

It does look much better than the standard blue.

@Unicron
Secmod made a better me of me.  Now I'm a wrench mastah.
Tips: Whack enemies around corners and doorways.  Make copious use of wrench-readying and start your swing before you're toe to toe, so that it connects the exact moment you enter their range.

You're still going to occasionally get smacked silly until you get yourself enough ammo to deal with the problem long-range.  Make a dash for those QBRMs.

Good shit guys, that looks much better.

[66f9009acf607Mr Rayford]

Quick question:
Do rumblers now shoot fire and ice balls? I buckled sown and started playing Command B without SHTUP and there is now a rumber on the second floor. It was like "ok, I'm ready to throw down." So I walk over and start hacking the security console and I start to hear explosions and the whoosh of the ice balls. I figure some monkeys broke the glass shooting at me. Then I hear a roar. I turn around and the rumbler is in my face. I jump onto the desk to get some distance and it starts sooting fireballs out of it's mouth. Is this suppose to happen?

[66f9009acf797ThiefsieFool]

Yeah that's a unique mini-boss only in Command, rumblers always did have unused psi-attack animations so I figured 'so what the heck' and made that guy.

[66f9009acf8a0Mr Rayford]

I need help. I have tampered with the lift controls on the Rickenbaker Pod 2, but nothing seems to have happened. Is there something else I must do.

[66f9009acf988ThiefsieFool]

Press the lift button 1-2 times, the lift should come down if you've done the tampering.

[66f9009acfa75Mr Rayford]

I've done the tampering and and the lift still stops midway to the ceiling/floor

[66f9009acfb84ThiefsieFool]

Sounds like a typically unfortunate bug, thankfully there's a failsafe where you can mantle on top of the surgical bed when it's lowered midway.
