New beta build! https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:The_Great_Refactor#Beta_3.702_Bugfixes_And_Mod_Conversion
This one is mostly bugfixes, but also converts the Civilian Industries mod to work in the new framework. There's a four and a half hour video where you can watch me doing that, if you're inclined.
This also specifically disables all of the other code mods that are known to not work. They are still distributed to you, but if you go in the file system and get them to be enabled again, all you'll get is errors. So... uh... maybe wait for the mod authors to get those updated first. Non-code mods largely were not affected at all, but now there's no longer a case of you having to wonder "should this mod work, or should it error?" If a mod that you see in the distributed list from us is broken now, we want to hear about it.
On that subject NR SirLimbo is working like crazy to get his selection of popular mods ported over, but it's going to be a TON of work. He's been building his own modder framework on top of our codebase (that's what "AMU" is for), and so naturally that's a lot more difficult to port over than a "traditional native code mod" like Civilian Industries. You can keep up with his progress and send him encouragement on the modding section of our discord server, but he's estimating it may take him a couple of months of very intensive work to get it all going again (after all, unlike me, this isn't his fulltime job, and that's still with him really working like crazy on his projects).
This build fixes most of the really major bugs that I am aware of, although I am aware of several that I didn't have time to fix today. I'll get those tomorrow, along with continuing on with whatever else is new. Thank you to everyone doing the testing on this new code framework!
Once the errors start quieting down, then some of the other exciting things I have planned are going to get some attention, like loadouts for fallen spire ships, better fallen spire fleet organization/setup, and... well, there's a whole list of things prior to DLC3, and then there's DLC3 stuff as well. Expert mode will be getting some more attention soon, too, but it's all mostly based around how long I am responding to bugfixes. I'm definitely pleased with where things are, overall, at the moment. The game is going through those first bumpy bits after a major transition, but it's not quite as bad as I had feared it might be (so far -- it's early yet).
Enjoy!
