Good update :)

Ok, so small update but the Viper Princes and Princess' corpse drops and Item drops are now in frost blue like the Viper King if you are using the corpse drops revamped mod i created. Also, the children now have a 50% chance to drop small supply, alloy and or intel caches.

The Frost Axe and Sniper Frost Caster have also gotten new inventory pictures.

Also I have made a note when equipping the Frost Scale Vest, that its snap freeze acts as a grenade. Of course you cant throw it because its attached to you, so you need to equip this vest in a grenade utility slot for that snap freeze effect to work as intended. This means you can have 2 vests on one soldier as other vests can only go into a non grenade utility slot. Please read the bottom of the front page for more info on the vest!!

bad update

update to the Hatching's look. Now will show up as a brown color to better tell the Frostlings and Hatchlings apart. Viper Hatchings can no longer call in random reinforcements and is now pure viper reinforcements from the Nest. And lowered the blast radius of the frost death explosion from 8 back to 6.

reworked some AI to make the children play a bit smarter. The Twins Sitrep no longer spawns both Twins in the same pod. They have theier own pods now. And the Princess has her own offspring called Frostlings... they explod like frost grenades like she does. They use the Neonate look but can also show up outside of the sitrep as followers to base Vipers. Good luck Commander!!

fix to CTD when using the Snap Freeze on the Frost Scale Vest

Because of the nature in how the Viper Children's special items are given... droped as loot with their corpses, if you had to force evac or the mission called for you to evac, you got the corpses (as i set them up to always be given) but there is not a way to get the item drops on evac. So you lose those items even before ever getting them.

NOW... you have a chance to get 2 of each item. If you kill the Viper Children on missions where you have to clear the map and you auto retrieve all corpses and items anyway, you get the corpses and their special item drops. Once you get back to base, you now have the option to still sell the corpses for some much needed cash OR you can now research the bodies and gain a SECOND copy of the special items they would drop in combat.


Missions that you have to evac = guarantied corpse retrieval but lose of the special dropped item. NOW can use the corpse to build the item so you still get at least 1.

Missions that call for clearing the map of all objectives = guarantied corpse retrieval, special item drop and can still use the corpse autopsy to build a SECOND copy of the special item.

ok, so Broken Tusk the Prince will now properly use his Frost Axe. Hatchlings that are mind controlled will no lng show the ability to be able to call in any portals or reinforcements. And the text that should show for one of the Hatchling's names has also been fixed.

quick edit to some misspellings in the Loc file and front page.
