[Missions] Island Missions

[tosx]

Adds new missions unique to each island.

This mod adds 10 new missions; 2 that are unique to each island, and 2 that can appear anywhere.






The last 2 missions can appear on any island, but will only appear once in a given run.



Download modpack version of all my mods - requires mod loader 2.7.2 or later to function.
Mod Loader - originally made by Cyberboy2000 and continued by kartoFlane.

Special thanks to Lemonymous, for the battleship sprite and creating the Swimming code.

Code: Select all

v0.15 (modpack v1.07 and later)
- Added 4 new island-specific missions (1 per island).
- Added 2 new generic missions (any island, but only once per run).

v0.13 (modpack v0.09 and later)
- Fixed another swimming icon offset issue with the Battleship in newer modloaders (may cause incorrect offsets again in older versions of the modloader, so update!).

v0.12 (modpack v0.08 and later)
- Fixed a preview bug with the Portal Tender in the Detritus mission which could leave invisible units blocking portal spots.

v0.11 (modpack v0.02 and later)
- Update that should fix the random SwimmingIcon ui crash some folks have been seeing (I haven't been able to replicate it).
- Going forward, I'll only upload mods in modpack form; if you don't want all my mods, it's easy to extract only the ones you want and delete the rest, or disable them.

v0.10
- Update for modloader 2.6.0 (achievement UI update) and modApiExt 1.14 (fixes Psion Tyrant viewing bug)

v0.09
- Fixed an apparent 1.2-related issue where the Battleship's Swimming icon appeared offset when viewing its statuses.

v0.08
- Update to latest modApiExt to improve compatibility with other mods.

v0.07
- Detritus mission: Prevented player from placing both anomalies on the same spot, and minorly buffed Portal Tender so it can trigger a teleport instead of moving anomalies.

v0.06
- Made clearer tooltips and icons for the Detritus mission to show when obstacles or stable units won't teleport or will destroy something.

v0.05
- Added some additional precautions to prevent a bug with the Battleship creating water tiles when you target its attack (reason unknown).

v0.04
- R.S.T. mission: Minor update to conduit tile sprites in case surrounding terrain changes.

v0.03
- R.S.T. mission: Minor update to prevent Vek from spawning on the broken conduits.
- Detritus mission: Reduced Portal Tender's movement from 5 to 4.

v0.02
- Tweaked a few maps to move difficult buildings.
- Detritus mission: Tweaked bonus objectives with an eye to avoiding it ending up as a 3-reputation mission.

Cool! Will there be new missions for Miridia island?

[tosx]

I wasn't planning on it; the existing Meridia missions are super creative, and I haven't played them as much as the vanilla missions to have ideas for gaps I could try to fill. If I ever have ideas, I'll talk to the mod creators.

As for the 4 missions above, please note that as of release (v0.01), I've tested them pretty well for functionality, but not really for balance. It's possible some objectives are too easy/hard or (more likely) some maps are too easy/hard, especially later in the game. All balance feedback is appreciated! If you have comments about a particular map, screenshots (or pulling the map name from your save file) would be very helpful.

Ive had a play with this, and its certainly staying in my loaded mod!. Very enjoyable missions, particularly the Teleporter anomaly and storm towers. They both created a lot of interesting scenarios, particularly when playing Steel Judoka or similar.
That Juggernaut mission is tough, though!

Glad to hear

You read my mind jajaja

Update! The latest version of my modpack adds 6 new missions to this mod.

Hi, Im new in this game. It's awesome. But i have a problem. The game say script error when activating island missions. I have ITB modloader v2.7.3 on version 1.2.83.
Say "failed to load mod "island mission" with id "tosx_island_missions": tatata.../scripts/personality.lua48: attemp to index local "self" (a nil level)"

[tosx]

I just updated the modpack about an hour ago, which should fix this error; I believe you can also fix it by unlocking all pilots, if you haven't already.

If you run into any other issues, feel free to drop by the ItB discord and ask in the modding channels, you'll get pretty fast responses usually.
