With one of the recent release builds of Rebellion, support for map version 3, which did not have the forced moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius inserts, was cut. I feel that this lack of support takes much away from making maps.
As version 4 does not allow for the various Random objects to have an moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius based off the entity of whatever spawns, taking away an additional form of chance or "randomness". For example, if one puts a WeightedRandom in a map, regardless of spawns, such as an Ice planet or a Dead Asteroid, they will have the same movement area. Plus, nor does it allow, for modders, the ability to put in suns of various sizes with different areas of movement.
Due to these, however futile it may be, I request that either map version 4 has some sort of option to let the moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius be left blank or allow for a wildcard symbol (aka. the game loads these values from the planet/star's entity file as in the past), or that map version 3 support be re-added.
Ah good, so maps haven't been broken further. That is a relief.

Lavo_2 is
He's got a good point, though.... its strange the devs (and by the devs I mean Yarlen, of course) have not responded to this yet.
That's a very poor Angry Marine as he's carrying mostly ranged weapons. No proper Angry Marine would carry only a single chainsword as his melee weapon. There's no powerfeet, power fists, or battle bats or power wrenches. HE'S A FUCKING PUSSY IF HE THINKS HE CAN SIT BACK BEHIND ALL THE REAL MEN AND JUST FUCKING SHOOT AT THE ENEMY.
Yarlen, I'm sorry for the profanity, assuming you ever get around to reading this thread.
We should probably show some restraint, too. In between the 40k-related profanity and memes and everything pony-related we're going to turn these forums into something that resembles 4chan, complete with Vasari Rule 34. Or we get banned. I'd honestly prefer door number 2 to crapping up these excellent forums with bizarre and unfathomable sexual depravity.
You say 4chan, but you don't mention the board. Some places are pretty laid back and relaxed, like /tg/. Then you have cancerous shitholes such as /v/, which is something to never emulate.
Honestly I've never been to 4chan except for a few archived threads on /tg/ (Tactical Genius, Bjorn the Fell-Handed), but stuff like Fap Tau and some of the more err... exotic 40k art are things I don't want on here. I've delved too greedily and too deep on the /tg/ wiki.
EDIT: If these forums can get awesome memes and threads going, that's great. I don't want us to start throwing up provocative Advent fan art though.
and yet another dodgem falls through the wall.
harpo
when are they going to repair the wall?
Never it seems.

you should have dinged
This is what happens when you let the dev exe log all these "incorrect" maps.
That is quite a few maps you have there.
More that Sins is tripping balls when it comes to this error, it repeats itself indefinitely.
I see.... well that's definitely an issue
Well technically I'm doing something I'm not supposed to do. But it makes maps more interesting, so why not.
I'm pretty sure that already exists somewhere in the depths of these forums.
Yeah, well, I don't want to know about it. Let me live in my bubble.
