LSML 1.6.2 Module Madness

This is a bugfix/maintenance release to 1.6.1.

Download from the main site: http://li-soft.org

Changes since 1.6.1

* Mastery slot changed to hybrid slot type.
* Cooldown weapon modules are introduced and they affect weapon stats.
* Radar deprivation was missing and has been added.
* Smart place would previously fail when arm/hand actuators were toggled off and it was a tight fit to get the wanted item in.

Update: I have fixed a build mishap that prevented 1.6.2 from starting on computers with Java 7 (as opposed to Java 8). There is a new download under the 1.6.2 release that is called 1.6.2.1 that fixes this.

If you are unable to start LSML please download and install 1.6.2.1, otherwise you do not need to do anything.

LSML 1.6.3 Incredible Imports

This is a bugfix/maintenance release to 1.6.2.

Download from the main site: http://li-soft.org

Changes since 1.6.2

* Improved error handling and robustness when importing from mwo.smurfy-net.de. Can now import even if the mechbay contains invalid mechs.

* Artemis versions of missile launchers are now correctly affected by weapon modules.
* Changed colour of C-ECM to match IS ECM.
* Improved handling of Artemis toggle. Doesn't corrupt the loadout anymore.
* Garages that contain invalid loadouts now load properly again (related to the above)..
* Pilot modules are now correctly saved to loadouts when saving to garage.
* Only show weapon modules that affect currently equipped weapons.
* Damage graph now correctly updates when modules affecting weapon range are equipped.
* Updated parsing of game files for latest changes from PGI.

Hi Li

The new Cent and Atlas variants don't seem to be showing up, it's not throwing the parsing error it normally would with new mech data though, it's just not listing the new mechs anywhere.

Edit: Nevermind, since they're treated as champions at the moment they're hidden by the "Hide Mech Variation" option.

There is a checkbox on the mech tab for hiding and showing the special variants of chassis. You can uncheck it if you want to see them. Edit: I realise now that this is what your edit referred to. Let that be a lesson kids, don't answer support tickets after coming out of the gym. Lol

On another note, the fixed jump jets from the patch are not correctly added. I'll fix that soon in 1.6.4

The release of 1.6.4 is almost ready. I you have encountered any bugs in 1.6.3, I would very much like if you'd report them on the github issue tracker so that I can fix them for 1.6.4. Please follow the steps here: https://github.com/E...eporting-Issues

LSML 1.6.4 Beta 2

As with all pre-releases always backup your garage!

Download from main site: http://li-soft.org

This is a beta release. There have been major behind the scenes changes and while my test suite runs correctly it doesn't cover everything. Please report any issues by following the steps here: https://github.com/E...eporting-Issues

Changes since 1.6.3
* A few performance improvements. Should feel "snappier" for most users.
* Updating to make omnipod jump jets be fixed as per upstream.
* Fixed a bug where you could remove the engine XL sides of omni mechs.
* Protocol handling for LSML links is more careful now, should minimize the risk of being falsely detected as a virus by avast.
* Ammo table didn't update seconds field when cooldown modules were equipped.
* Better error reporting when loading or importing a loadout fails.
* Fixed a bug where the wrong feedback cursor was displayed during item drag and drop.
* Fixed a bug where the equipment panel would render in a broken fashion with some items outside of their section.
* Totally revamped handling of efficiencies, targeting computers and quirks. Now matches PGI's new system for accuracy. * Quirks are applied correctly.
* Fixed parsing of data files again.
* New reward Atlas and Centurion mechs are no longer treated as champions and hidden by filter.
* Quirks summary now shows modifiers from chassis quirks (standard mechs), omnipod quirks (omni mechs), equipment (targeting computers) and weapon modules. (Some are still missing)

Would seem it has the map values messed up for heat values, apparently, Alpine Peaks is hotter than Caustic Valley!

[Urdnot Mau]

Hey man
I was trying out your mechlab trying to get some info about torso yaw speed and i couldn't.
I saw the mechlab tells us the torso yaw speed for a given engine, but it dooesn't seem to update once efficiencies are marked

Well that's a bug. Hence the "beta" label... lots of stuff changed behind the scenes so I'm not surprised I mucked something up... Thanks for the report, I would appreciate if you could post future bugreports on github (see link above). Every minute I save by not having to do that myself is a minute I could be fixing bugs instead.

LSML has not implemented any of the efficiencies that affects yaw speed yet. I'm hoping to have a more complete analysis of mech mobility for 1.7.0 (january/february timeframe).

Didn't realize such a thing was there and I do not have an account there but I'll keep it in mind, further that I have no idea if the DPS and DOT figures are based on triggering ghost heat or not...probably best to be either or selectable.

That's all too common... Do you have any ideas on how to make it more visible?

They do not include ghost heat, they assume that the player is good enough to avoid triggering ghost heat, I will update tooltip.

Have been using your program for a while now, and I really hope PGI steps up with a bit of official recognition some time or other

Upon looking no, was fairly easy to find once I knew to look for it at all. Just had not occurred to me at all to look in the first place. As for ghost heat, you sometimes may WANT to trigger it, like thew 4 ASRM6 builds more often than not the ghost heat is entirely negligible etc.
