GearHead2 v0.532
Again, this is mostly a bugfix release. All the deadends that have been reported up to this point should be fixed. Here’s the list of changes:
- May eject ammo clips from items via backpack display (backpack.pp) - Screen should only update once per PC move (arenaplay.pp) - May rename mecha from Arena HQ (gh2arena.pp) - Arena HQ will no longer crash when using skills (action.pp) - May no longer move installed ammo from one gun to another (backpack.pp) - Fixed local macro initialization crash (arenascript.pp) - Skill XP gain for good roll proportional to target number (action.pp) - Gain more Shopping XP for buying items, none for selling (services.pp) - Shipping menu should list correct city names (services.pp) - Smoke, fire marked as temporary (effects.pp) - Added IfMechaCanEnterScene ASL command (arenascript.pp) - PC's mecha checked for scene compatability; TownMecha depreciated (arenaplay.pp) - Added Inside environment type (movement.pp) - Separate shop options for reloading equipped, unequipped weapons (services.pp)
Try it out and let me know what you think.

You really work a lot on it, don’t ya?
Anyways:
“- May rename mecha from Arena HQ (gh2arena.pp)”
Huzzah!
“- Gain more Shopping XP for buying items, none for selling (services.pp)”
Is that proportional to the value of the bought item or a fixed value?

“You really work a lot on it, don’t ya?”
Yes. Yes I do.
“Is that proportional to the value of the bought item or a fixed value?”
It’s proportional to the unscaled value of the item.

“It’s proportional to the unscaled value of the item.”
Though as much, would be far too easy to raise it otherwise because all we’d buy then would be smoke grenades.

Thanks for the bug fix.
I’m looking forward to the robotics bug fix…I love robotics…

More brilliant work as usual just as I get back to playing GH2. Thanks for the fixes, looks like some useful stuff.

…although there really needs to be a daaamned comprehensive manual at some point. Mecha modifications get plain confusing. I’m still unsure as to why I can’t put a BuruBuru arm on my Ice Wind, other than perhaps some kind of restriction on weight.

Your problem, as I understand it:
The Buru Buru arm is too big for your Ice Wind. Every mecha has a size class (from 1 to 10), with Buru Burus at 5 IIRC. Their body parts can be no more than one size larger than their size class. Many mecha have undersized arms or heads, while some have oversized parts (e.g. the Gorilla’s arms).
This all gets pretty confusing when there’s no way to see the size of a mecha or its parts. Even if you tried to discern size by looking at mass, you’d run into trouble since some mecha are made from lightweight materials.

Is this compatable with the previous version?

Save files are compatible, but some of the changes (such as checking to make sure your mecha is spaceworthy before allowing you to leave a spinner) won’t be present unless you start a new campaign.
