tssk tssk,judging the book by its cover.I always go digging through the readme first;thats how I have discovered adaob-downloaded a couple of mods,went through the readmes,and discarded them all (all of them have strayed too much from the original).but when I went through all (!) the adaob balance changes,I have thought,yup,this might just be the sweet spot I'm looking for..and it was :cheeky:
btw,I love the name (adaob),it sounds a bit strange&weird-very fitting for a game that has zombies,monkeys and ninjas..
edit: hmm,seems like the shotgun hybrid anomaly (you take the broken shotgun from his inventory but it stays in his hands as well) is still present,wasn't this fixed in the previous release (or am I just remembering something from another mod)?

I don't remember the initial reason I was turned off by it, but I agree with ZB: if I was a new SS2 player coming here and I saw a patch labeled "System Shock 2 Unofficial Patch", I'd definitely check it out and would be more likely to install it.

I agree also.
You might have been turned off by the fact that the game was unwinnable as a mêlée-only player if you didn't choose Hack (since earlier versions removed all the ICE picks, so you couldn't get through the shields at the end).

That's interesting; I had forgotten about that tidbit.
I doubt that it turned me off though, as I usually play mêlée-only as a hacker.

encountered a bug I have never experienced before-when dragging an item from the inventory and dropping it,the item icon (while dragging) changes into another object (annelid toxin to wrench,for example).after that,two things can occur-I'm either able to drop it normally,or the game crashes to desktop..it seems to be random,but it does happen quite often,especially if you are playing around in your inventory a lot..

Which deck are you getting that horribly annoying problem on?
voodoo47 on 21/5/2009 at 12:17
its not really
that terrible in singleplayer mode,but I can imagine it could be quite an annoyance when (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126791) playing multiplayer..I'm keeping the previous version of adaob on my multiplayer install,for now.
now that I think about it,it seems to be exclusive to medsci (science).I was not able to reproduce the bug on hydroponics.on medsci,I can reproduce it almost instantly,if I get "lucky"..I'm attaching a (
http://helppage.3dfx.sk/temp/save_14.7z) savegame,upon loading it,you should be able to reproduce the problem as well-just try playing a bit of drag'n'drop tetris in the inventory.
ran into another small bug-the new laser pistols rays sometimes behave erratic,parts of the beam are left stuck in mid air,producing the "zap" sound when you touch them and vanishing again..

Just to be sure, you're not running through ShockEd, are you?
That's a frequent bug in Medisc1 when running through ShockEd, but doesn't usually happen in the game itself.
voodoo47 on 21/5/2009 at 12:57
nope,plain old shock2.exe (ddfixed,if that matters).managed to get an (
http://helppage.3dfx.sk/temp/current.7z) even better (or should I say,worse) save-this ones fail rate should be 100%,just open the inventory,try dragging the annelid organ (or pretty much anything) and you should be crashing to desktop sooner than you can say monkey-wrench.
maybe I should try a "clean" install of adaob-I have just overwritten the previous version when installing 0.3.0..
