My layout is designed so that you have instant and constant access to 5 slots able to fit adv base facilities in (the 2*1 buildings), as well as giving the option of using 2 of those slots for a fourth hangar.

It was brought to my attention a few days ago in a thread in the gameplay forum (jetau I believe was the first to notice it). Thanks though. New alien collection in MIAB will be this: era 1 - chasers, vipons era 2 - vipons, destroyers era 3 - chasers, preachers era 4 - phantoms (unchanged). Basically made it so vipons & chasers only appear twice rather than three times as a main race.

Minor tank re-balancing Bug fixes Full list below. Note: Requires Patch #1. This is a BETA version. Probably best not to include it in the FM just yet. Due to the number of changes I've made to things that could easily corrupt a game, I've decided to to make this a beta version. So you should maybe expect a couple more bugs than usual. Whilst it should be safe to load your saves with this mod, I advise that you don't save over any games you want to keep with it. It works fine for me, but just in case. Warning - this mod will make savegames slightly incompatible with vanilla. This is a result of the "place first base" and "multiple bases in a state" mods. It won't crash if you try and load with vanilla, but you may see some odd base behaviour. Sorry, nothing I can do about this. But now I've scared you all off with my disclaimers, it should be relatively safe. Download it here: http://www.savefile.com/files/831580 Changelog from 0.9 to v1 beta for those interested: Quote: The "20mins" time now runs slower - makes for easier watching/participating of geoscape combat. re-ordered UFOpedia buildings - there is now some sort of logic behind it. re-ordered ufopedia race listing re-ordered centaurus parts. Added the UFOpedia mod UFOPedia now shows armour info for researched aliens. Courtesy of Iskandar - will update scanner range to cover possibility of selling radar. Increased max speed difference for bullet speed and scroll speed. Mini-map re-implemented. End key or numpad Divide key will trigger it on and off. All CAFTanks now have a rank of 1. (hammer was 9, cyclops was 6). No longer possible to rename tank drivers (result of tank experience mod). Removed destroyer as era 3 main race. New era main race setup: era 1 - chasers, vipons era 2 - vipons, destroyers era 3 - chasers, preachers era 4 - phantoms (unchanged). Changed layout of main base. Changed for base placement in the bases array. Was done by stateid. now just incremental. Now possible to place multiple bases in any state. remove "repeating" function of promotion buttons - it was slightly buggy anyway. All tank weapons now have 50% more ammo. Minor changes to some tank balance - Cyclops has more movement (still the slowest) but slightly increased perception and shooting, making it one of the best sharp-shooter tanks. - Proper tanks given higher perception and slightly higher vitality. Accuracy also increase a little. Now asks you to confirm whether you want to quit without spending all promotion points first. Feel free to try it and report any bugs. Edit - couple of known bugs on the promotion screen, purely visual. Rather than spend hours tryng to fix them (i've already spent hours come to think of it), I figured I'd release and get back to them later.

First and foremost, I am dying to have stasis grenades back into the game. Moriarty, would you mind posting the code changes for the race setup here? I believe I'm not the only want wishing to get back the stasis grenades from the chasers. EDIT: Found it! File: data\scripts\tests\config.xsv Line: 19391 Code: 2  {       className AlienRace       mainRace       {           className CVector           0 "Chaser"  <-- was "Destroyer", change back to "Chaser" here           1 "Krtek"       }       supportRace       {           className CVector           0 "Trilobit"           1 "Telemat"           2 "C10mz"       } }

Of course, if no-one reports how it's working it'll stay a beta for a very long time.
