Darn, I totally lost the website for this and forgot that I hadn't released it! 1.49 It should be out this weekend!

Edit: thanks Jonathan!

Well, I was going to release it, but something is causing the game to crash on startup. Obviously this needs to be fixed. Stay tuned.   >:(

Sorry if this is a question that's already been asked - this is a huge thread, but is there a way to cherrypick bits of the mod to disable? For instance, I'd love to turn off movies, since I get about a dozen notifications about them a month that I need to click through, and I sometimes accidentally miss important information because of how quickly I try to get through them.

Yes, it makes me wonder if we should abandon this thread and start new ones for successive versions just so that it's easier to read through. I do find it amusing to look at the first several replies that say "this mod will never be playable because it's too ambitious"!  ;D

To answer your question: version 1.49 will have an option at game creation that allows you to set how common movies will be. The highest setting will have movies triggered by LCS/CCS activity at the same frequency as in 1.42, but with AM radio and cable news movies at 1/4 of that. The lowest setting has movies at 1/8 the frequency of the highest setting. That should make the number manageable, unless you're using a truly outrageously active LCS!

You're too kind - actually, v.1.49 had been in the works for a while, and that issue had been a concern for months. You just happened to ask about it on the eve of its release!  :D

I just tested out the new update, and I wanted to ask before I got too far into a new session:

In non-National mode (the default) I couldn't find the Terra Vitae Offices, and in National Mode I found them in California. In neither mode could I find The TV Leader's house.

I was just curious if this was an intentional change from 1.4 -- Since previously both were accessible right from the start. Thank you for making the new version, by the way!

Bug found - they're there, but hidden (they shouldn't be - they were supposed to be hidden if Terra Vitae health was to start out at zero, i.e. Terra Vitae is already defeated. I made a typo in coding. This will be fixed in version 1.5).

Still, you should be able to un-hide them by recruiting/loveslaving a Terra Vitae spouse, student, or agent, the same way you can un-hide CCS safehouses. TV students show up as College Students, TV spouses show up as Political Activists, and TV agents show up as Agents, but TV agents can be of any political alignment, while CIA agents will always be conservative.

In multicity mode, the TV house is also located in Los Angeles, in the city outskirts. The TV house will also be known by the name of the current TV leader, e.g. Vivian Pines' house.

Thanks for the quick update! I have yet to find a TV Agent in the wild, but I did acquire a sleeper TV Agent at the Office--this didn't reveal the location of the office, so I'll have to try out your suggestion--I'll update this post if I get results.

I did find one thing that is arguably  a bug--Although fighting Superpowered minions at the Secret Lair doesn't net you any crimes, if you try to leave the lair and get followed by conservative swine, fighting those minions WILL get you murder/assault charges. A case could be made that since it's outside the lair, the government would know about it.

Also, I have a suggestion--doing secret Terra Vitae missions is basically a skill check for those that go on the missions, and failure means instant death for all involved. I have a feeling this would be a lot more coding work, but maybe if you fail a mission, instead of having all those agents instantly get killed, you could be placed in a site surrounded by hostile, alarmed conservatives that the agent(s) need to escape from. It would still allow the raw randomness and importance of having skilled agents, but also would have at least a little bit of player control in salvaging the failed mission.

UPDATE: Loveslaves/recruiting doesn't seem to reveal the location of the offices. I have yet to successfully try interrogation since it's hard to do so against moderate/liberal characters.

Also, Supervillains spawning in the wilderness seems to crash the game.

Finally, you are correct about the TV Leader's house--It appears in National LCS mode properly. I think I will simply start anew in National Mode next time, and to recommend to anyone starting a game to use National LCS Mode, otherwise you'll not be able to work with Terra Vitae.

Version 1.491 released

This update fixes the bug identified by couchchou yesterday that made the Terra Vitae locations invisible in single-city mode.

I was running into an issue when trying to find all the Supervillain layers in National LCS mode:

In only 2 cities could I find any Supervillain Minions--Seattle and Detroit.

In Seattle it worked normally, but the Supervillain Minions in Detroit would be from "Seattle" and turning them wouldn't reveal any new lairs. Is there a better way to go about finding these lairs in National mode?

Great mod, but periodic crashes on windows. Is there a debug file I could post?
