Choose Where To Land

Description

Mod Features
In the vanilla game, launching a shuttle to a mission site only gives you two options: drop at edge or drop in center — and both pick a random spot. That’s incredibly dumb.
This mod adds a third option: “Choose landing spot and land”, allowing you to launch the shuttle, load the mission map, and manually select a specific landing point.


FQA
1. Is it compatible with other mods that add shuttles?
Yes, as long as they use the vanilla shuttle launching system. This mod is simply an enhancement to that system.

2. How's the performance?
It has zero performance impact.

3. Is it safe to use with existing saves?
Of course.

Changelog
Updated on 2025/7/31
1. Added support for vanilla transport pods — you can now use this feature when launching transport pods.
2. Odyssey is no longer a required dependency. If you don't have Odyssey enabled, the mod supports transport pods. If you do have Odyssey enabled, it supports both shuttles and transport pods.

很棒的模组,不过好像不适用于其它模组的穿梭机(Orca shuttle)

That's unfortunate, since you can certainly apply a lot of the code you created to the other scenario as well (limited to "drop pod" arrival method that I mentioned before), since they are in fact very similar to a shuttle landing on a new tile map.

Does anyone know about a mod that provides that option?

@✠ Sigmar ✠ Yes, it only applies to shuttle transport. Different game scenarios have different landing methods, and trying to adapt to other scenarios would be a nightmare—I'm not going to do that.

This is only for shuttle transports though, right? Would it be possible to extend this mod to include the initial landing on your first map tile as well? I am not talking about choosing this tile or previewing the features, as "prepared landing" allows you to do; I mean choosing the exact spot where your drop pod lands on that map at the start of the game, similar to what you did here for shuttles.

Once more a mod comes to fix an incredibly dense vanilla design error. Much appreciated.
