Bugs & Crash Reports

[Bartojan]

Minor bug. Everytime I change video setting from fullscreen with no filter to windowed with openxcom filter i got error message and game crashes:

Fairy outfit is missing text for the ufopaedia article for the sea version; the ruleset calls for the text STR_MAGICAL_GIRL_OUTFIT_SEA_UC_UFOPEDIA, but the lang.rul file has it under STR_MAGICAL_GIRL_OUTFIT_SEA_UFOPEDIA.

Another missing string: STR_DISASSEMBLY_ELITE_PLASMA_PISTOL

Another missing string: STR_DISASSEMBLY_ELITE_PLASMA_PISTOL

Dammit, 15 seconds too late

[ohartenstein23]

If it makes you feel any better, I think the research for the Sharkman Corpse is missing too.

[Dioxine]

Thanks. I halted the upload anyway, no one plays on weekends

[Meridian]

I play only on weekends. But maybe wait for new version. New camo is now different during day and during night.

[Dioxine]

If this will be in soon, sure, it'll be better for me to wait.

[Meridian]

"activeCamouflage" will be replaced by "camouflageAtDay" and "camouflageAtDark"
"predatorVision" will be replaced by "antiCamouflageAtDay" and"antiCamouflageAtDark"

the AtDay and AtDark variants are applied together with "visibilityAtDay" and "visibilityAtDark" respectively

Build tomorrow... need to get some sleep now

The attached save crashes for me when gun almanach research finishes, I click view report, and then I click the arrow to move to the previous topic (rather than the next topic, I misremembered the crash). It doesn't matter what gun is actually researched by the topic, they all seem to crash the same for me. Attached is the save where I originally experienced the bug, but your save does the same thing for me.

Fixed.
Well, sort of. it doesn't crash anymore... but proper fix would be for dioxine to add an entry for gun almanach itself.

[Dioxine]

Well, sort of. it doesn't crash anymore... but proper fix would be for dioxine to add an entry for gun almanach itself.

Is this really neccessary? I want the almanach to show guns, not itself, when researched... It's kinda stupid if its shows itself since it's of no consequence (same story with the data disk).

[KateMicucci]

I frequently get swamp maps that are divided in half by water with the UFO on the other side, making navigating to the other side of the map without flying suits impossible.

[Dioxine]

It requires creating more mapblocks and will be handled in due time, with general upgrades to terrain. As of now, flying armor is readily available even in fairly early game.

The game was simply designed this way. You get the topic you have researched plus one free topic. There is no option to get only the free topic.

It doesn't crash anymore, so it's not absolutely necessary... until someone finds another crash somewhere else.
There will just be a small confusion that clicking on Previous and then on Next button doesn't bring you back to the same topic... caused by the game not being able to find an index for the non-existing almanach/disk topic (yes, game tries to open it, even if it doesn't exist).

As already explained somewhere, I could rework the whole research system to actually be consistent... but it would break all mods and vanilla too... so, yeah...

Having the books and data disks give a snarky and amusing description could be fun.  I'm not really good at this sort of thing, but I know there are funny people out there. Maybe the player base could come up with something.  I'm willing to try after I get over work.
