Blackmarch SMG is indeed nothing like MP-5, except the visual style being similar, it's chambered for something more like 10 AUTO rounds.MP5/10 exists (or, well, existed), so that is not a sufficient distinction.
Can anyone give a complete list of maps from the CMP and Terrain Pack and tag those that are already added to FMPI doubt there's anyone with such a list. Combing through the terrain.rul files is probably your best bet.
Maybe someday another addition to FMP will be released that will add an underwater world, but until then, I myself need to learn how to create a hybrid globe...You don't need a true hybrid globe for that. See XCF or Piratez who fake it through other means.
Can I install all three, or just FMPE and one?You can only install FMP(E), unless you want to become a modder yourself.
...yep it needs to be spelled out along the lines of "YOU MUST ALSO INSTALL AND ENABLE FMP."Well, mod.io does say
Maybe put "Allowed on the following special mission types: Industrial Investigation/Beach" or similar on the Ufopedia screens for specific gear.It used to be that way for plain 'Concealed', and was discontinued as too much manual busywork for Solarius' continued sanity.
Not to mention the various different and not mutually equipment-exclusive cover missions we have now. ...in a country where there are wars, no one wants to hire anyone, and if they do, then they either pay less than $100 a month or come soldiers and demand from their superiors to send their workers to the military registration and enlistment office for a medical examination and military service (in simple words, they are taken to war, since there are always not enough soldiers, we are suffering huge losses).In that case your problem is not 'bad finances', it's "relatively meek person in war-damaged country". Historically, there's been no good solution to that. I suggest considering emigration instead of hoping for modding to provide what it doesn't provide to almost anyone, anywhere, even in countries far better off than that.

Previously, my government at least gave assistance to poor citizens in the amount of $50 a month, now the president and politicians absolutely do not care about their citizens and they refused to help everyone in need, people are so weak that they simply cannot protest, and if they go to protest, then the army will shoot them for betraying their homeland.
Organize some kind of support system for modders who face financial difficulties and are forced to quit modding and fight for survival.There are already several such systems: Nexus collects donations for modders, there are quite a few 'donate to a [starving] artist' enterprises like Patreon/Subscribestar/Ko-fi, there are also Kickstarter and alternatives where people beg for money due to all sorts of things, from cancer treatments to criminals shooting them in the head while on vacation.
I've investigated some more and can say with confidence the behavior I'm seeing is:That's exactly because of what I said: it's not the commendations that matter, it's the associated bonuses. Identical bonuses do not stack, and bonuses are shared between all 'Master of' and 'Bane of' type commendations.
- Commendations with the same name and decoration level do not stack.
- Commendations with the same name but different decoration levels do stack.
This seems a bit odd / unintuitive and I'm not sure it's by design.It's odd, but by design, since all possible alternatives were deemed worse.
I believe this is because the X-Come Files rules file maps different decoration levels for commendations to distinct soldierBonuses entries in soldierBonuses_XCOMFILES.rul.That's not unique to these commendations, that's how pretty much every commendation with a stat boost I've seen works. What's unique in this case is the existence of multiple commendations mapping to the same set of bonuses.
But I gather the bonus (+1 throwing) is not in fact added twice. How does the game compute the bonus to apply? Does it pick the entry with the highest decorationLevel and ignore the others?What it does is it gives the bonus associated with the commendation and level. And bonuses do not stack and are shared between all 'Master of' commendations.
Would the same logic apply to STR_MEDAL_RACE_KILLS_NAME and any other case where there are multiple entries with the same commendationName but differing nouns?'Bane of' is the same, yes. I don't think there's any other commendation that automagically multiplies itself across some parameter (weapon/enemy).
Well, it's a hard question. One idea what should be done, if anything, is forcing 0 turn on some of the "classic" grenades, like the basic black grenade. Leaving the timer (annoying or useful, doesn't matter) for more "advanced" explosives. But don't know if it's a good idea, it's just a thought.Well, that was exactly what I had in mind. I made three versions, pick which you want (probably not the instant one
On the contrary, I like them. Just never made them.
) and I'll post the other two separately. Or even one, if you want to include two in the XCF distribution. I see and understand your points, but I still disagree. Instant grenades break the flow of battle. It's hard to put into words, but they make the game worse.Can't say I understand (IMO, waiting for grenades to explode is what breaks the 'flow', if anything), but I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree.
In the early game, higher-tier cultists quite often don't get killed by a single grenade.Fair, but in that case you were going to throw more grenades anyway. If you are relying on saving some TU from the rarer cases by not double-tapping the tougher enemies, you are courting disaster anyway. And that's the main difference between instant and non-instant from that particular balancing POV.
Up to you. Why ask me?Because right now, I can only do the 'make 0-turn grenades' submod. But there's the argument (supported by several people chiming in and a bunch of gameplay footage) that most players might want this as the default, necessitating changes in XCF itself, and then I'd make the other submod to let those people keep their cake.
So, I'm not only planning to "put that behind RA", but hope to fix it to reasonable state first.Fair enogh. I quite liked the ability to see the 'hit roll' when I last tried. Perhaps too much PF WotR.
In other words, 100% hit with good enough explosive, or 83,5% (good) hit with weak grenadesYep, one of my problems with grenades in general. I seem to be somewhat in a minority, though.
