Vanilla mind shield facility has a mind power of 1.
If you build 2 mind shield facilities in vanilla, they have together a mind power of 2.

In OXCE, instead of building 3 mind shields with power 1, you could also build just 1 mind shield with power 3... both would have the same effect.

Oh, if I knew before ... Thanks for the answer. I think that for this parameter it is worth giving a more detailed description in the "ruleset reference", so that more questions would not arise. It says - "The power of the mind shield provided by this facility.", which misled me.

Is it doable to make a code addition to let modder define UFO in alienDeployment, and then transfer this info to map generation? As for now for many thinks like Cult houses in XCF we need to define the whole mapscript for such deployment - to add specific ufo into mapscript. There is a lot of copypasting because of it. And it does not let me use terrain-specific mapscripts with such a deployment, where is a need to define a ufo. That multiply copypasting to the near-impossible limit.

UPD: looks like there are some ways (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,7631.0.html) =)

how to define damage types?
should i just add the extra modifiers to all the armors? but then how to name them?

[Meridian]

You don't have to change all armors, if you don't define anything it will be considered 100%.

Code: [Select]

  STR_DAMAGE_10: "10"
  STR_DAMAGE_11: "11"
  STR_DAMAGE_12: "12"
  STR_DAMAGE_13: "13"
  STR_DAMAGE_14: "14"
  STR_DAMAGE_15: "15"
  STR_DAMAGE_16: "16"
  STR_DAMAGE_17: "17"
  STR_DAMAGE_18: "18"
  STR_DAMAGE_19: "19"

Tell me, does the option that changes the order of loading units into ships exist?

Still continue to disappear 2x2 soldiers on some ships. And all because they are loaded after loading HWP. With 1x1 HWP and 2x2 soldiers, need a different loading algorithm.

[Meridian]

Loading order is:
1. HWPs
2. 2x2 soldiers
3. 1x1 soldiers

[Ethereal]

Loading order is:
1. HWPs
2. 2x2 soldiers
3. 1x1 soldiers

Yes I know. It is in this that's the problem.

[Mathel]

How about turning it into:
2x2 HWPs
2x2 Soldiers
1x1 HWPs
1x1 Soldiers

[Meridian]

What a brilliant idea.
I would never think of that.

[Ethereal]

Apparently this is very difficult to implement. I, in turn, found a temporary solution - adding additional spawn cells. True, it looks monstrous when the tank is respawn on the roof of the ship.  I'd like to hope that this measure is really temporary.

If you send me a pm with your craft map and load order, I can send you back an optimized version that should work for your needs without making significant changes.

Thank you for the offer, but I already did everything myself. On some ships (such as Sentinel, Tactical Lightning), in the with the current loading system, a vanishing tank has nowhere to go. Only on the roof.
