Pyromania 1.5 - feedback for a possible update

[Do_Checkor]

Yo!

It could be possible that our good old \"Aenn Seidhe Priest\" aka. \"S-Priest\" will develop and release some kind of rerelease with an updated version of the great MOD in the near future.

Pyromania is the mod which brings a lot of fancy ships and weapons to D3 - such as ones from D1 and D2 among other great stuff.

So we'd like to collect some feedback about Pyromania where you can explain what you dislike about the MOD. In chat I recently heard words like \"bug\" when people talked about ships or weapons. Neither I nor S-Priest knows any details yet and this is what we'd like to change.

So - if an update like a service pack would be released for Pyromania 1.5 - what should this include in your opinion (no new ships and weapons - only changes to existing stuff please)?

If you agree to posts by other users, please state this here so we know what should be prioritized.

you can get pyromania here: www.descentforum.net/pyromania

A server running \"Fury\" is hosted on Descentforum.net 4 for a long while already...

OK - have fun and don't miss this chance!

PS: Don't cross post to this thread on other forums please...

Aenn Seidhe Priest has now released a new version of Pyromania that incorporates all suggested changes from http://www.azbel.net/index.php?option=c ... &Itemid=65 and other sources.

In order to avoid compatibility issues with Vortex and other things we've decided to leave the version number as 1.5, although it's in fact version 1.5.1.

The new version is _not_ compatible with previous versions of Pyromania. Older versions should not be used anymore.

You can get Pyromania 1.5.1 (the \"new\" Pyromania 1.5) from here:

Pyromania 1.5.1 installation program (setup): http://www.descentforum.net/pyromania

Pyromania 1.5.1 installation program (setup) and as a zip file. A modified version of Fury and Operation Moon is also there at Aenn Seidhe Priest's site: http://www.azbel.net/index.php?option=c ... &Itemid=65

The installation source code is at Dateiliste:
http://www.dateiliste.com/en/descent-3/ ... a-mod.html

If someone needs help installing Pyromania with its setup, a short guide can be found here:

I hope I didn't forget anything.

Thanks, Aenn Seidhe Priest, for this new version! I think it is nicer and better than the previous one.

Yeah. The updates are amazing!

What I'd want to see is a Pyromania server running some outdoor map like Bedlam Lv 2. That'd be some very nice Starhawk action.

What I'd like to know is how do I host Dedi servers with it.

And is Pyromania built off of the regular D3 table file? I think that if it was built off of the Mercs file it'd be able to run things from Mercenary, right?


I extremely appreciate the effort that has been put into Pyromania. Best mod on the planet! Spectacular! Gets my favorite ship, the Starhawk, just right! Outstanding!

Pyromania is based on Descent 1.5.

To host a PM server it's enough to select 'Pyro15' in the server tool (server configurations) instead of Descent 3. In-game servers work like other in-game servers.

Not all levels/missions are compatible with Pyromania. Some of them crash the game instantly, some a bit later.

The only thing is that if someone wants to join with Vortex this has to be configured to default to Pyromania as being Descent 3 version 1.5. In Vortex's settings.ini file you should have these lines:

DESCENT_3_RETAIL=\"C:\\Games\\Descent3\\MAIN.EXE\"
DESCENT_3_RETAIL15=\"C:\\Games\\Descent3\\pyro15.exe\"
DESCENT_3_DEMO1=\"\"
DESCENT_3_DEMO2=\"\"
DESCENT_3_MOD1=\"C:\\Games\\Descent3\\pyro15.exe\"

That's not required if you install Pyromania with its installation program and tell it to configure Vortex.

When players join via batch file, Pyro15.exe needs to be called and not main.exe or Descent3.exe.

You can also use a mixture of several tools, for example Vortex or the tracker to copy the server's d3://... link into the clipboard and invoke the game with http://www.dateiliste.com/en/descent-3/ ... ncher.html by selecting Pyromania and not Descent 3, or write down the IP:port pair and enter them manually inside Pyromania.
