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 ? http://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

@nasarog:
Read tdDaz's comment and use your neurons.

Willl this be updated for War of the Chosen?

Does this work with War of the Chosen?

Evening everyone :) Just a quick heads up about the incoming expansion + More Maps Pack.

Unless something changes I would recommend you disable MMP for your first run through the expansion just to be on the safe side. While MMP is one of the safer mods to use (as it doesn't add or modify any code, just puts more level pieces in the available pool) I cannot check the mods compatibility until the expansion is out and I've had time to look at all the changes (plus run though a vanilla wotc campaign myself!).

I'm really looking forward to this expansion and all the new possibilities it adds. I hope you are too!

I wanted to thank you for bringing back the EU/EW billboard sniper perch. If only there were more small accessable 'high ground' areas in the game.

Gotcha, thanks.

Menotti, without knowing exactly what map plot you spawned on there is no way to know if it was this mod at fault or you just got incredibly unlucky (or the game bugged out somehow). You will need to run the game in debug mode and see what map plot was loaded in your game. If it has a _daz_ in the map plot name then it is part of this mod.

I've also had the issue with impossibly far evac zones. I'm not on LW but it just kinda killed an ironman game for me. 5 turn timer that'd be impossible to get to even on full sprint.

eclipsezr, I'll most likely make some more content when the expansion is released. Lots of new things to play with :) As for now, I update occasionally with bug fixes.

Will we see you make a return for this mod?

@Drumheller, I've been playing Longwar 1.4 without any map packs and I've still had evac points that spawn 3-5 moves away. Based on how lenient the timers are now, this is probably intended.

Thank you so much for making such a compatible mod that adds so much content and being so responsive to your audience.

Drumheller, this mod doesn't change any logic behind the evac zone distance. If you sudddenly noticed the change after the 1.4 LW update then that is probably a good place to start looking. It's certainly possible one of my plots generated a bad evac zone, and if you can use the debug tool to find out which plot was loaded when you got the bad evac then I can have a look at it (all my content has a _daz_ in the filename should be easy to find).

Or you could have just gotten extremely unluckly :)

Hey guys, I'm trying to track down an issue I'm having with LW 1.4, and this is the only mod I think could be causing it(because it's the only map mod I'm using). In my fixed evac missions, sometimes the evac point is REALLY far away from the objective instead of close like it normally is(normally it takes 1-2 turns for captives to get from the cell to the evac point), but since 1.4, sometimes the evac point is literally on the other side of the map and takes 5+ turns to get to, even on full sprint. Is anyone else that uses this map pack seeing this issue? Or is it an intentional 1.4 update thing?

Ill check the Parcel name itself with the cursor, thanks

@ADVENT Avenger:
That could be one of Dr Mandarb's PCPs...

Well, it could be a road pcp asset from another map mod also. If you have any others installed? Best to check that first before sending bugs to Firaxis :)

ADVENT Avenger that's a stock asset so report the bug to Firaxis. Roads/Paths etc are not parcels, they are generated out of lots of tiny pcp pieces.

Hi sir, Parcel not providing cover. Traced back with Debug to Neigh daz 01 and subsequently to this mod. This may also be a vanilla parcel thats bugged.

Ahlos, this mod doesn't touch any timer code, or any code at all for that matter :)

Ok, thanks... Then there must been something that change mission on the other "map pack" i have used..

@[MCRN] Ahlos:
This compatible with no timer mod? Some maps "other" the no timer mod dont work...
Surely that'd be mission mods not being compatible? Missions determine the timers, maps just provide the battlefield for those missions.
