The landing pad map is fucking dogshit, theres no cover to hide behind without getting detected or to get close to baddies, its so horrible, no wonder fireaxis never made a map like that, its agony to play on there, i wish i could delete that piece of shit.

that good creator clearly abandoned this project on purpose leaving no WOTC version.

He dead

Does this need an update for WotC?

isnt is "War" of the Chosen?

Just curious.. now that Gears Tactics is released.. is there a chance of getting this map pack updated to a WotC version ?

@tdDaz Congrats dude!

@tdDaz congrats man!!

@tdDaz Congrats on it! I heard you were hired and was even more excited when Gears Tactics came out.

@tdDaz thats awesome massive congrats!

CONGRATS DUDE VERY COOL

Congratulations!

@tdDaz:
And congratulations. Games seems to be selling very well too. I did wonder if this mod formed part of your portfolio when you mentioned being hired.

Story time! Just over 2 years ago I was hired by Splash Damage to do level design for Gears Tactics, and now it's out! This level pack was one of the reasons they hired me so I wanted to say thank you to everyone who downloaded it and played it over the years. I lack the words to express the gratitude :)

I'm very certain this map pack is the one that does it. I've had multiple cases of line-of-sight and cover, especially flanking, being very questionably broken even after mission restarts (consistent failures in the same spots). Most of the time I don't mind it (broken LoS goes both ways!) but these object failures have most recently botched three essential stealth runs in my LW campaign. After a plethora of other issues like shooting through floors and LoS gaps within chains of full cover walls, I'm going to have to remove this mod for now. It's greatly designed, though, so kudos on that. However, I cannot recommend anyone using this map pack mod.

@NiKuTa:
Sadly not.

Is there a WOTC compatible version ?

Hello sir, I have sent you a friend request. I would like to ask you a few things about map making and objective settings.

I'm playing with this one in use. After nearly memorizing all the basic vanilla maps on PS 4 game, this give some much needed variety, and some new challenges in working the terrain. Thanks!

Thank you! Things are fantastic yes. So happy to finally share what we've been cooking!

Hey tdDaz, Gears Tactics is looking good. Hope everything's still going well for you at Splash Damage.

Where is the WOTC version??? WTF

Worked well throughout LW2 campaign.

Thanks for the reply man. Out of all map packs this one seems the most unobtrusive. I might give it a go.

@Soupidity

I dunno whether this map pack does it, but some map packs add buildings with a no-spawn-zone on them that prevents reinforcements from landing on them, and since LW2 uses dynamic reinforcement placement this can cause bugs where a reinforcement pod of 0 spawns when reinforcements arrive if your team is within no-spawn-zone (literally an empty drop pod will fly in and then fly away again having done nothing), potentially making the mission much easier.

Is this mod balanced? I play LW 2, and I've heard against using map packs which might mess with balance. Can anyone reassure me here? thanks guys

Underrated, i think parcels such as this one increase replayability by a huge amount. In combination with others, i had some really unique, beautiful and logical battlefields created for me, great job!

@tdDaz First of all Congrats! I been wanting a gears of wars tactics and im grateful your part of the team :) Secondly you mind if i port your mod to WOTC? With your permission of course as well giving full credit to you.

@tdDaz:
Congratulations dude! Really enjoyed their (your!) Enemy Territory: Quake Wars .

Would you mind someone else porting your work over to WotC? Or would you prefer it left as is?

Hey, thanks for the kind words! I recently got a job at Splash Damage working on Gears : Tactics (!!) so I'm throwing all my time and game dev energy into that rather than modding. Unfortunately that means that I won't be updating MMP for the forseeable future.

However, there are a bunch of other map packs available for WOTC that have a ton more content in them than MMP and I would definitely recommend checking those map packs out if you are after more procedural map content for the game!

Please update for WOTC, this is one of my favorite mods!!!

So do you still plan to update it, or...?

Sorrow and Sadness : I haven't updated this mod recently so nothing has changed with it. If it only started happening just now then have a look at any other mods you added recently and see if the problem lies there.

Just recently, for various missions ranging from kidnap target, hack workstation, to even a alien facility, my squad begins right on top of the objective. In the case of the facility, if I blow up the ceiling, I would be right by the C4 target. I am not sure if this mod is causing it or the better advent 2, I am asking both. Are you aware of this?

Hey tdDaz, does this fix work for this mod ? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1140305914&searchtext=new+map

Thanks for the heads up Dragon32!

Hey tdDaz, not sure how the map-makers' grapevine is going but I saw a couple of posts by Vozati over on his mod's Discussion page. Maybe old news to you, but...

If you want to port a plot you need to do 2 things:
1- Steal an XcomLevelVolume from a working plot and put it on yours then build the level
2- Copy the PCP_arctype and xpack package file and include them in your mod
That will fix the game just using random pcps since the file path for the game and editor are apparently different.

I think parcels missing assets is the same problem of mismatching file paths, I could not get posters to work until I copied that package into my mod but copying entire asset packages is something that should be avoided. Plus some parcel types need new objective spawn possiblites as well.

How long till you finish the WotC version do you think?

I guess I can roll a campaign without the map pack but man some missions suck without piles of buildings and whatnot. Oh well at least WotC has these new tilesets like the underground/subway levels that own bones

Looking forward to your mod's WotC return!

Thanks for the clear update. : )

It's going to take longer to port the mod across to WOTC than I expected as certain assets used to build the parcels have been renamed/moved or deleted in WOTC which means there things such as missing floors, missing vehicles and things like this. I'll have to update each parcel individually and then re-test everything. So for now, enjoy WOTC :)

Thanks for the update, it is apprecaited

Thanks for your hard work! I am subbing to this thread so if you can comment here when the new one is out, it will ping everyone who is! :D

It looks like I will have to create an entirely new mod for the WOTC version of More Maps Pack. This let's people stay with this version if they don't have WOTC and swap over if or when they buy it.

ETA on the WOTC versions is unknown so far. I've downloaded the WOTC mod tools but haven't had time to look through them yet!

Oh can't wait!.. besides updating for compatibility, any hints on your next map? d:

Hi, is there a command in xcom2 to check which mod a parcel or plot comes from? Or do we have to look at the pictures and compare in-game?

Anyone verify if this is okay now?

So glad tdDaz is still into XCOM and going to be playing WOTC, and either updating or giving us the all clear.
Looking forward to it buddy
