It can be done, but I have no interest in that... maybe someone else.

PS: every time I look at your screenshots, I die a little inside... starting reactions 70, starting firing/throwing/melee 110? RIP xcom

That is, for normal play, all options in the "Advanced" and "Mods" sections should be disabled, except those that are blocked?

In "Mods" everything should be disabled.
In "Advanced" you can change all you want.

Hi!
What should be the settings of the game, so as not to overlap the mod? "Advanced", "Mods", etc.

I'm sorry, but I do not understand the question at all.

What do you mean by "overlap"?

Released Mods / Re: [TFTD] [Expansion] TWoTS+ Release (v.2.13)

« on: June 13, 2018, 10:40:22 am »

Meridian, say please, it is normal that unit with "specab: 3" can not be stunned? It creates a corpse instead of live alien.

it is implemented that way

Code: [Select]

if (_unit->getStatus() == STATUS_UNCONSCIOUS && (_unit->getSpecialAbility() == SPECAB_EXPLODEONDEATH || _unit->getSpecialAbility() == SPECAB_BURN_AND_EXPLODE))
{
_unit->instaKill();
}

Don't know if it's correct... would have to ask vanilla devs.. does anyone remember how it was in the original?

If you could at least tell us which mod are you using...
And a save wouldn't hurt either.

Update:
v.2.13 now has introduced a new crash when loading savegames (occured on large ship / base defense multiple times)
[FATAL]   A fatal error has occurred: Corrupt state: Unknown original UFO destination.
Can provide saves if needed.

This is a OXCE+ bug, which has been fixed in the last update... but... it may still fail to load if your save already contained any active undetected hunter-killers.

I can fix your save, if you want... just upload here.

I'm out of luck!
The game starts correctly but ... Unable to activate the Mod... because this error appears immediately :
[12-06-2018_22-32-36]   [WARN]   disabling mod with invalid ruleset: TWoTS
[12-06-2018_22-32-36]   [ERROR]   failed to load 'The world of (terrifying) silence'; mod disabled for next startup
C:\_GAMES\OpenXcom_TWoTS\user\mods\TWoTS/Ruleset/Ufopaedia.rul: invalid node; this may result from using a map iterator as a sequence iterator, or vice-versa

It works fine for me... try a fresh install from scratch... maybe something is conflicting if you just upgraded by copying a new version over the old one.

See attached.

You don't have Zrbite researched yet.

And you don't see it in the list (in the first base), because you sent it all to other bases.

Help / Re: How customizable is the digTunnel mapscript command?

« on: June 11, 2018, 06:32:44 pm »

[0, 0, 4, 2] means it can be anywhere in a rectangle with top-left corner [0,0] and width=4 and height = 2

So for example on a 60x60 map, it could be anywhere in the green area as illustrated on the attached screenshot.

1/ I don't know... but probably not

2/ game would crash

3/ no

4/ there is a possibility to fine-control what is on the edges and what is inside... but it's a lot of boring repetitive work... you most likely don't want to do it that way... but if you do, you can use the "rects" in the mapscript to define, for each block, the allowed positions

XPiratez / Re: How strong of a system do you need to run pirates?

« on: June 11, 2018, 11:02:31 am »

the game starts chugging on the bigger maps on my full desktop. Its a potatoe, but damn does it chug.

The engine is not built for such big (especially tall) maps and for such long visibility distances.
Modders are aware of it, but willingly decided to use it in spite of suboptimal user experience.

1/ vanilla maps have height = 4, piratez maps can go up to height = 30... which is roughly linearly (8-times) slower
2/ vanilla maps have visibility limit = 20, piratez has limit = 40... which is much worse than linearly slower... I don't have exact numbers, but it can bring any CPU to its knees
3/ also tons of new features in OXCE+ (e.g. indicators, night vision, LOS checks, etc.) are slowing down rendering quite significantly... again I don't have exact numbers, but I would say it's about 50-100% slower in worst cases

All in all a tall map in piratez can easily render and animate 50x slower than a normal vanilla map.

PS: also, if you have FPS counter enabled, don't believe what you see... even if the game barely manages 5 fps, it will still show a lot more
