Lazersquad 2.2 -
Ranged weapons such as pistol, lazer, rpg, grenade etc. now allow positioning when discharged, if you initially move the projectile to another chosen starting hex the projectile moves are restored.
Many small updates related to the above (such as removal of vision from projeciles so they can't be used to scout).
Movement is set to 0 after discharging a ranged weapon due to above changes.

Lazersquad updated to 2.3 -
Multiple firing/ ranged spells on same turn is restored (so can fire/cast fireball etc. multiple times, costing 1 mv each time).
Re-positioning projectiles improved - if you move the unit firing the projectile before re-positioning, you are then unable to reposition the projectile further (preventing odd behaviour such as projectile following unit across map).
Shortened many menu/recruit text lists.

Lazersquad 2.4 update -
Further improvement to projectile re-positioning and related WML, so you can move a 'fired' projectile (ranged action) to a preferred starting hex adjacent to the firing unit, restoring moves before you actually move it to attack. In this revision, if you 'fire' projectiles and move the firing unit, this cancels the ability of the projectiles already fired to be re-positioned, the WML is now improved to ensure this is now totally accurate, ensuring that you can still reposition projectiles if the firing unit did not move yet, but cancelling the ability to move those after you moved the firing unit. Without this improvement you would be able to move the firing unit across the map and move projectiles with the unit, resetting moves each time.

Minor update 2.6 where a variable name was changed to avoid conflict with a system variable.

Lazersquad 2.7 updated
Replaced some WML causing possible OOS error hopefully now fully fixed, this was due to use of select for units to generate response sounds, at the moment I have had to change this to movement vs select.

Hi, a slight update, my squad-based MP mod, 'Lazersquad', based on the old Lasersquad & Xcom games is now on 1.16 server, tested to a fair degree, but any issues please PM or respond to this forum.

Slight update, Lazersquad has been updated slightly.
This now uses a custom unit instead of fog clearer, a generic blank unt for some on-the-fly unit creation, it just means the mod is protected when/if the fog clearer option is deprecated (as is suggested), it also removes the warning shown on-screen if you have warnings turned on.
I also fixed the maps loading method to the new 1.16 method, there should be no change to behaviour of mods.
Also, all my mods now have the 'required' scenario option, so the data should download at the point someone joins a game, this will ensure I can eventually update and add some more custom graphics and maybe sounds in the futute.

Ok had to revert the fog clearer replacement change as it caused out of sync & will require enormous work to implement due to many units and weapons needing unique random IDs... updated for all my mods on server to overcome OOS error, including all conq mods, chaoz, wescraft, lazersquad. Other recent minor changes are still present such as map updated file paths, worker ability in side panel, typo corrections etc.
