Holy busted up mechs, Batman!

Okay . . . no Recognition Guide teases . . . but the beach?

PuppyLikesLaserPointers · « **Reply #393 on:** 29 June 2020, 15:12:24 »

Perhaps it is a new beach? Well, many of us will miss the real beach, but perhaps we can get it on MM at least.

Daryk · « **Reply #394 on:** 29 June 2020, 15:43:27 »

I was going to say "sex on the beach" because at least two of those tanks are ******! :D

dgorsman · « **Reply #395 on:** 29 June 2020, 16:19:03 »

Are those damage overlays to the unit graphics?

Daryk · « **Reply #396 on:** 29 June 2020, 16:21:10 »

More important are the "IMMOBILE" markers... ^-^

In that case I look forward to the canonization of the Clan tourist---err, Sojourner.

+1 for the infantry armor! :thumbsup:

Love it.

As someone whose MechHQ campaign of more than 70 hours has been repeatedly f****d by bugs (despited that incredibly industrious Canadian guy on gitHub) to a breaking point (while I still consider myself to be of the patient kind), I really have to say that I seriously like what I'm seeing here in this threat over the last couple of postings and am still willing to take yet another swing at the next version (call me masochist, whatever). MM is certainly heading in the right direction and is finally also improving its graphics. Thank you for your effort Dev-people, this is still an incredible effort and the closest you can get to a computer adaptation of BT.

NickAragua · « **Reply #405 on:** 02 July 2020, 20:58:11 »

As part of a bug fix, I decided to give the bot the ability to direct-fire artillery (in general) and at aerospace units in particular.

The Megamek team is happy to show off the latest option for Record Sheets. This will be in the next development release.

GreekFire · « **Reply #407 on:** 05 July 2020, 13:15:41 »

Sweet baby jesus, I've been wanted record sheets to look like this for years.
This will make teaching new players *so* much easier. Way to go, guys. Any chance official sheets will start to move in this direction?

I can't speak for CGL but they aware of the option exists.

No.

Lorcan Nagle · « **Reply #410 on:** 05 July 2020, 14:48:15 »

I tend to do sheets without reference tables for demo games and I just feed new players the number they need to hit or hand them a reference card if they want to learn, just to keep the record sheet as uncluttered as possible. I do put tables on sheets I print for games within our group though.

Yeah, I use reference cards as well, but having everything on one sheet will still be super handy.

Only change I'd suggest would be to position the tables in the order people usually need them; so to-hit modifiers first, followed by the cluster hits table, then the hit locations, physicals, and facing after fall in the bottom. That way players can zoom down the column for every weapon they want to fire.

Daryk · « **Reply #412 on:** 05 July 2020, 15:15:16 »

What I've noticed in my most recent games is a tendency to paw through the records sheets looking for one with the tables, finally resorting to the book when I can't find what I'm looking for...

Deadborder · « **Reply #413 on:** 05 July 2020, 17:53:24 »

Out of curiosity, is the bot able to use Artillery Cannons yet in the dev side of things? In the games I've tried, it's been able to use units equipped with them without hanging, but never fired the cannons

NickAragua · « **Reply #414 on:** 05 July 2020, 18:09:20 »

Theoretically, yes, although I've only extensively tested standard, indirect-fire artillery. Look for direct-fire artillery in the next release.

So they will look like the ones that Solaris Skunks Werks has had for years. What will be nice is that I will no longer need to make the mech twice.

Well... Artillery Cannon is NOT an artillery at all, but what's happened?

Daryk · « **Reply #419 on:** 06 July 2020, 05:13:12 »

Direct Fire and AOE shouldn't be too hard to combine, I'd think...
