is it part of vanilla feature, or proprietary by this mod?

Yisha gives only hacking missions.

Hey!

I'd like to avoid any compatibility issues, and would like to ask if this sel could be valid with this mod - and if its position is still around the same place as in vanilla (after ownership is granted to player, and original crew is killed).

Code: Select all

<add sel="(//cue[@name='Success']/actions/do_else/cease_fire[@object='$target'])[1]" pos="after">

The only thing I dislike about this mod is if you happen to his esc when it brings up the options it'll sometimes hang and and you will be unable to continue boarding (your marines slowly die) other then that its a great mod!

I looked things over and I think it should be fine.

The options should come up again after a minute or two, though you'll probably still lose some marines.

Thanks for your time!

Would it be possible to get this made compatible with this mod??

Without your boarding options the game feels incomplete.

Please and thank you!

here you go! I wish i knew how to do it, but beyond basic editing of XMLs, i am clueless. I appreciate your work and with it compatible with one of the other essential mods, and im sure many others will also.

Thanks again!

Thanks. I'll take a look at it asap.

Ok, I've added a New Frontier compatible version to the nexus mods page.

I haven't thoroughly tested it so let me know if you run into any problems.

Seems to be working well. Are you also the author of the marine re-balance mod? In game it shows your name as one of the authors.

Clownmug · Post by **Clownmug** » Mon, 30. Apr 18, 19:28

Nope, not an author for the re-balance mod. I think they felt the need to give me partial credit because they adapted some minor things from Boarding Options.

ah, well thanks for your work.
