Arpia Plug-in Conversion for Windows

Pace

Notice that won't be necessary anymore since the newer update (which will soon be available for download I hope, that doesn't depend on me ) has a fixed image. Thanks anyway for the help

Sometimes it's a bug, and other times it's just more obvious in Windows Nova. Make a debuglog and look for any issues in there.

And that cloaking device is all f*cked up. Aside from the fact that you used all four ModType/Val fields, you repeated 8 and 1. I fixed those two problems (the cloaking device wasn't pretty to fix), and maybe I'll upload them later.

well, which is it? is it the same or not? thats not very reasonable, to have it both ways.

i use the window version of the plug. things i have noticed:

*there are a few spelling errors, unrelated to the brit usage.

*i havent had a problem buying any of the ships at all

*unstuffing it was no problem, although if the user is using stuffit for win, they will have to right click, and select extract, for the fiels to be unzipped successfully, otherwise stuffit wants to view the file, which it cant seem to do.

*the only problem ive had with the plug is the traitor missions. i tried to find all 7 ships, but to no avail. when i quit playing, and came back to it later, the entire freaking arpian navy wanted my butt. im not sure if that is supposed to happen or not. also, i keep getting the test rocket launcher mission, even though i pass it each time.

IMHO, i think this plugin was well made, and just alot of fun to play. the arpian fed cruiser is awesome when you load it up with cloaking and max thunderheads and FPCs. kudos to Pace, keep up the good work.

Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

In other words, "EverQuest" and other games like it.

I noticed the same problems as Dasman69. The traitor missions don't seem to work for some reason. I keep going back to Arpia homeworld, where the leader dude tells me to bring all the spies to his office. Then the game messes up. I'm playin on the new version, and this is the only problem I have experienced. I would like to compliment you on a very nice plugin, as far as I could tell from the walk-thru, I'm only about half-way through it at the traitor missions, which makes it a long one. I like long story lines, even if they keep me up all night. Great job man!

Okay then. I've got a fix for that (but just for people who didn't manage it at once and who prefer not to restart). Send me an e-mail requesting the plug and telling me what platform you're on, and I'll send the plug.

Edit: for those interested, I am now hosting all arpia fixes (url="http://"http://pacehaldora.spymac.net/arpia/")here(/url).

What comps are y'all using? I'm on a PC and I've never had any trouble with the traitor missions. I disable the ships, capture the traitors, destroy the ships afterward, go to Culuria, get told to bring the traitors to Malrow's office (read: bar)...no problems at all there! Maybe it's a Mac problem?

Nope, it's just what happens if one of the traitors gets killed by another ship

^^True Story^^ I had no way to protect the ships, from the limited knowledge that I have of plug-in making (and it is very limited) couldn't you simply change the amount of aux. ships in those systems to 0 until the bit is completed?

Just download the "traitor fix" plug (for your platform) from (url="http://"http://pacehaldora.spymac.net/arpia/")this(/url) link. Once it's downloaded, put the file (.rez for windows, no extension shown for the mac one) in your Nova Plug-ins folder. Then accept the "traitor fix" mission in the mission bbs. That will make you complete the traitor mission.
