The X-Com Files / Re: Bugs, crashes, typos & bad taste
« on: May 22, 2024, 07:39:28 pm »
You need OpenXcom Extended to run XcomFiles.

OpenXcom will not work.

Open Feedback / Re: Openxcom port for 3DO R.E.A.L.

OpenXcom is not Xcom.

If you look at the unmodded OpenXcom RAM consumption it's probably somewhere around 100 MB.
X-files will be somewhere around 1000+ MB.
The console has 2 MB.

And even if the hardware would be from this century, I don't think any software requirements are met... does the console support SDL? is there a C++17 compiler for this console?

Why would anyone care about these numbers? They change nearly every battle anyway.

There are players, who equip soldiers based on their name. Because lore, immersion, role-playing, etc.

But there are also players (including myself), who don't equip soldiers by name, but by their position on the craft (i.e. their role on the team). For example: first two are scouts, next four are melee, next four are riflemen, next four are grenadiers and last two are psi.
For such kind of equipment, knowing which "position" you are equipping currently is useful.
But fwiw I never had any problem doing it this way.

He says it's not clear whether he's equipping the first soldier, the last soldier, the 13th soldier of 42... or Seven of Nine.

We have agreed with Yankes to skip this solution... and introduce Y-scripting for sell-prices (and later for buy-prices) directly instead.

Once implemented, I will paste a sample Y-script for hellrazor here.

Sample Y-script below and attached:

Spoiler:
extended:
  tags:
    RuleItem:
      HELLRAZOR_SUPERHUMAN_SELL_PRICE: int

  scripts:
    sellCostItem:
      - offset: 12
        code: |
          var int temp;

          geoscape_game.difficultyLevel temp;  # get difficulty
          if eq temp DIFF_SUPERHUMAN;
            item_rule.getTag temp Tag.HELLRAZOR_SUPERHUMAN_SELL_PRICE;  # custom item sell price
            if neq temp 0;
              set cost_current temp;
            end;
          end;

          return cost_current;

    tags:
      HELLRAZOR_SUPERHUMAN_SELL_PRICE: 999
  - type: STR_RIFLE_CLIP
    tags:
      HELLRAZOR_SUPERHUMAN_SELL_PRICE: 88

oh really?
press the right arrow button 7 times, what now?

close the screen, open the screen... magic happens

then try to complete a vanilla ironman game with BOXCE

I did

Both novice and experienced modders have been requesting scripting functionality like crazy.

The consequences were known from the beginning and were very clearly communicated.

There is no way back.

You have what you asked for.
(And I don't mean you personally, but you as a modding community)

Open Feedback / Re: Any changes for openxcom on appstore?
« on: May 18, 2024, 10:30:41 am »
1/ I have no intention of paying $100+ for an apple developer account

2/ the app would never pass the apple review process, because it is not self-contained, i.e. doesn't even start without the OG files, which obviously cannot be bundled in
(same for Google Play store btw.)

There is no more space on this screen for anything.
Every single pixel is already used for something.
In this case, for psi stats.

PS: in 30 years of playing xcom, I never had a problem "finding" the first soldier... it's the first one shown after opening the screen

Right-click on the icon.

OXCE Support / Re: Starting base available space question
« on: May 09, 2024, 09:06:57 am »
why does a General Stores hold 65 and not 50?

general stores only holds 50, not 65

additional 15 comes from 3 hangars

that way the available free space in a new base is closer to OG

Does it crash also when you don't interrupt the intro?

Can you attach options.cfg file?
