Is this automatically active or is this again a choice for modders?

Choice for modders... like everything that has impact on game mechanics.

Hello, I'm new to the forum (but playing openxcom quite some time) and start already with an (minor) issue (tried to add one to github but issues seems disabled?):

middle mouse button scrolling is not working for me if I use "on-button scrolling" (maybe an libinput issue https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/scrolling.html#on-button-scrolling)

not working

Code: [Select]

mv@mv-pc:~$ xinput list-props "Logitech USB Optical Mouse"
Device 'Logitech USB Optical Mouse':
...
        libinput Scroll Methods Available (284):        0, 0, 1
        libinput Scroll Method Enabled (285):   0, 0, 1
        libinput Scroll Method Enabled Default (286):   0, 0, 1
...


working:

Code: [Select]

mv@mv-pc:~$ xinput list-props "Logitech USB Optical Mouse"
Device 'Logitech USB Optical Mouse':
...
        libinput Scroll Methods Available (284):        0, 0, 1
        libinput Scroll Method Enabled (285):   0, 0, 0
        libinput Scroll Method Enabled Default (286):   0, 0, 1
...

maybe there's a way to fix this? (except from disabling button scrolling)

best regards,

Is there an option to hide-disable the  ufopaedia "INFO" button for items?
(If I understand correctly it is the "stats for nerds" thing).

I think it is not an option... And I protest against such a thing. Why to add an option to see information from the items (that is for some people who want to look under the hood, I know), and then add an option to hide it?.

Well, if you really want to see the details you can anytime by opening the .rul file with a text editor. 
Alright, it's not really a problem.

What it prevented you, would like to know?
I, for example, look forward to further development of this option. For armored vehicles, craft weapons, in short for everything that has properties. It's better than peeking at the rules files all the time. In addition, we, the modders, can understand the control files, and ordinary players will not understand anything there. Or is it to stimulate players to explore game resources?

[robin]

Nothing really. For my mod I though I'd prefer to not have that (just like the vanilla game), so I looked for an option; I don't really mind if there isn't.

The TFTD damage formula is not an advanced option anymore but it is a mod now, right?

[ohartenstein23]

Yes, it is an OXC mod included in the "standard" folder:

Code: [Select]

# increase the damage range to 50%-150%
constants:
  - damageRange: 50

OXCE(+) also adds an option to allow you to define the RNG for weapon damage on a per-item basis:

Code: [Select]

items:
  - type: STR_WEAPON_WITH_TFTD_DAMAGE
    damageAlter:
      RandomType: 2#how roll damage range.
      # 0-> default behavior based on damage type
      # 1-> UFO [0% - 200%]
      # 2-> TFTD [50% - 150%]
      # 3-> Flat  [100% - 100%]
      # 4-> Rng(5,10)
      # 5-> 0
      # 6-> Two dices [0% - 100%] + [0% - 100%]
      # 7-> (OXCE+ only) [50% - 200%]

Thanks.
(I knew about the RandomType option, in fact I use it somewhere )

[ohartenstein23]

Thanks.

Ah, okay.  As a note here, the interaction between these two options is that RandomType: 0 as a default means use the damage range in constants, otherwise it's an override to that RNG.

Hi.
Two small questions:
First: What does "IgnoreDirection: true"? A damage is applied to some specific side or bodypart?

How to create a weapon with limited charges, which will be recharged at base (each time, no matter how many charges was used)? Is it "isConsumable: false"? (Of course i have added "clipSize" to the weapon description.)
Thanks.
