To all KH2 players!! Please read

[Edric O]

IMPORTANT!

A bug was found in the KH2 patch. In fact, it seems this bug has been there ever since the original KH2: the Tleilaxu Leech does far too much damage to infantry and buzzsaws (in other words, non-leechable units). No matter what I did to it, this bug refused to go away. So in order to keep the Leech from being over-powered, I greatly reduced its rate of fire (it now fires over 2 times slower than before - but with the increased damage and instant hit, this is the only way to keep it balanced) and I also slightly reduced its speed.

These are very small but essential changes, so I have made another patch: KH version 2.11

It's exactly the same as 2.1, but with the Leech properly fixed. The file size is the same, 42 KB, so it's still very small.

If you have KH2, please download the new 2.11 patch. It's small and useful. Also, it is best if everyone has the same version of KH. Remember that you can only play online with people that have the same version as you do.

- this topic will remain sticky for 24 hours -

(not because KH2 is my mod, but because I want people to know about the change... it seems hardly anyone knows about the patches... But if you need a similar temporary sticky topic for one of your mods, I'll gladly make it that way)

You would NEVER do anything like this for CR, no matter how many times I ask, considering you would lock the topic to keep me from releasing new Betas. ::) But I'll help anyways, because I'm generous... ;D

What did you do to that leach? I'll take a gander at it and see... ??? the only thing I can figure, is something you did to the other units...Not sure though... :-

This is my LEECH_B entry, and it works fine:

[Leech_B]

Leech = true

Infantry = false // Only leech vehicles

MaxRange = 7

Damage = 100 // Damage to non-leechable objects

Trajectory = true

Health = 200

ShieldHealth = 2//5 // Damage per tick to leeched units

ExplosionType = BloodSplat

Shot = TRUE //infantry death anim

Huh. Oh well.

[Edric O]

I SWEAR I would do the same for CR, even though I hate that mod.

You can quote me on that.

[DukeLeto]

I will. ;D

[Edric O]

Hey, when did I ever lock any of your topics? Except that time we had a sig war... but I unlocked it after a few minutes.

The problem is, sometimes the Rules.txt decides to go insane on a certain unit, and there's nothing I can do to prevent it. Even though it says the Leech does 100 damage, it actually does about 700. And I can't change it, no matter what I do! >:(

You'd better look for similar problems in CR, I heard of several mods who got this "crazy Rules" bug...

[DukeLeto]

Yeah, I've had it strike in TS. This can really hurt a mod.

[Edric O]

Good thing there are other ways to balance a unit...

The Leech is actually the third KH2 casualty of this bug. It also hit the PopUp turret and the Elite Sard, but I discovered those in time and fixed them without the need for a new patch. The Leech managed to slip by, though...

[Frodo]

Will this be required for the tourney Edric? Are we still playing today?

[Edric O]

Yes, it will be required. But I promise there will be no more patching changes for the tournament. :)

We're not playing, Frodo... because I already played with Ethan! I won, but only because he disconected (we were still pretty evenly matched at the time). So I sent him an IM and I'm waiting for a reply to see if he gave up or got disconnected by accident.

[Frodo]

oh, ok. i don't mind, i am working on the lotr rpg now, so...

[nemafakei]

DukeLeto, if Edric says no, you can always ask me or Gob.

[Edric O]

I will not say no! I'm a man of my word.

[exatreide]

i notcied that bug. it is a major problem. you can simply flood the enemy base with leeechs ect...

CR is just a cheap rip of KH IMO.............. :)

[Edric O]

Correction: was a major problem. :)

And... let's just say I won't comment on that second line... ;)

[exatreide]

great job on kh2 by the way. makes me want to get into mods....imagine a mod from me.....

[Edric O]

The Koreans vs. Ottomans mod? ;D

Sorry, I couldn't resist... :) But let's not get off-topic.

[exatreide]

of course...

toss in the byzantines for good mesure they can be the crappy ones ;)

sorry coudlnt resit.....back on topic......

[Edric O]

Yes, back on topic...

The 24 hours are up. The topic is no longer sticky.

[DukeLeto]

CR is just a cheap rip of KH IMO.............. :)

In your opinion. >:(

[Edric O]

And in my opinion too.

[DukeLeto]

Well, duh... ::)

By the way, MR. "I'm true to my word", can you sticky that index I made of all the mod topics. KH is right at the top. ;)

[Edric O]

It's not exactly an emergency... ::)

But I'll sticky it just so you see that I do keep my promises.

Still, I don't see why... people can just go to Dune Editing for a complete list of mods...

[DukeLeto]

This is for topics. You can't get to those through Dune Editing. :P

[Edric O]

Oh, right, I misunderstood what you said. Sorry.

Furthermore, you DO NOT have a sticky privilege. I will not make a topic sticky just because you say so. I will make a topic sticky only if it's really important.

Note that your index topic is now sticky. It is important... But it's unfair. Many good mods aren't listed there just because nobody talked about them recently!

[DukeLeto]

Well, tell me what they are, and I will be happy to add them. BTW, is Wrath of the bene Tleiaxu dead? If I get proof otherwise, I'll add it...

Oh, and BTW...KH2 is really good. Just tried it. Don't worry, I won't steal your icons. ::)
