UFO Extender Accuracy option - Does it work for aliens too or only for humans?

[Meridian]

It applies to all units, allied, hostile and neutral.

The latest official released version is 7.12

I did not release 7.12.5, use at own risk.
There is no apk build for android.

Is it possible to release 7.12.5 for android? I can't launch the latest Pirates N8 update since that version is required

No, the build farm is down.

Also, even if it was working, I would still not release it... OXCE 7.12.5 for all other platforms is also not released (I didn't do any testing, documentation, etc. yet)


Downgrade piratez (or change its minimum required oxce version, or build the version yourself).

Can you add a .sh file extension to OpenXcomEx file? I wanna launch it through Steam, but it can't see it without .sh.

[Yankes]

there is no possibility for `.sh` file, as this is BASH script not binary, OXCE can only be binary.

During installation of openxcom_extended_v7.12.0-win64.exe it does not download automatically both universal patches for xcom1 and xcom2, as it did in last year's releases.

The same problem today with openxcom_git_master_2024_02_28_0704.exe

Also does not work url with bleeding edge OXCE nightly preview builds - https://lxnt.wtf/oxem/#/Extended

Question is: is it correct way of installation - simply unpack newest Extended-7.12-1bde457c8-2024-02-24-win64.7z over existent older version OXCE 7.9.0, which already have both xcom1/xcom2 files and both patches?

I remembered old answer from Solarius Scorch: Always delete the old .exe first, as well as folders "common" and "standard".

- Multi-UFO retaliation base attacks (attribute `multiUfoRetaliation`)

I don't understand what multiUfoRetaliation and multiUfoRetaliationExtra do, could someone explain?

Both OXC and OXCE already contain the universal patches, there is no need to download them anymore.

Soldiers do not gain experience when killing by "improvisation" i.e. damage from landscape objects. There were cases when a soldier in battle did one single useful action - shooting at barrels that killed many opponents, but after the battle this soldier did not receive any experience, although all killed opponents were counted as killed by the Improvisation weapon. Is this intended, or is this a bug?
