Suggestions / Blood stains

« on: August 12, 2011, 07:24:32 pm »

i think that would be fun if solders/aliens leave blood stains on ground when they are wound or when they are hit (of coarse different colors stains :> )
you could track wounded ones by looking on trace they left behind.

only problem with that is stains should be updated only when you unit see them.

it wont work, this is because you cant replace easy your solders. how you will balance win/loose ratio (and kill/death ratio)? if you are skilled you can conquer alien base with one solder with L-pistol, but sometimes you whole squad can die from one alien.
you will probably not glad when your Jon Rambo MIA in attack on small scout

i find this in google: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sdljava/ and AFIK (probaby its wrong ) YAML is only for writing XML and can be replased by any other xml lib.
and because OpenXcom dont use any advanced C++ features (again AFIK from a short look in code) is can be easy copy/pasted to Java (its can be even more correct because you dont need use `delete` that can be pain in a** when you made mistaken)

You need yaml-cpp 0.2.6, though if you're not using the load/save functionality you can probably just comment out those lines with little issue.

btw i tried to compile openxcom under MinGW using
https://openxcom.ninex.info/download/misc/openxcom-deps-win32-mingw.zip
but i got this error too in yaml, this mean this "deps" are outdated.

maybe this minsia will spawn only when you ignore or loose terror mission with Snakemen? and after couple of day will appear new terror mission in that same place but now you will fight only zombie and Chryssalids.

 i would  prefer simple PSI powers, not some magic system

i prefer something like that:

mind blast - inflict big amount of pain to target
force grip () - deal dmg to target
blind - blind
telekinetic - allow remotely detonate bombs

and good idea is to use energy bar to limit usage of PSI powers.

c) i cant kill self using rife (after killing blow game start looping hit sequence couple of times )

Translations / Re: Traditional Chinese Translation

« on: February 26, 2011, 04:15:41 pm »

I wanted to do this one for a long time, but I always considered it near impossible.

The chinese characters are REALLY different codings from western language.

And there's the problem of it's size.  If you stay in X-Com resolution, there is NO WAY you can show any chinese characters.  You need something like 10x10 squares to show a chinese character.

I understand your concern. Anyway, I decide to complete the translation. I hope other developers can solve the technical issue (if any).  

is it possible to write chinese using European charset? (in Japan some times they do similar thing)

oe oe oe ! A new git build: https://openxcom.ninex.info/git_builds/
Featuring: nothing very impressive really...

The crew on your skyranger gets a few test-items pushed in their hands. And if you click the item you get a cross-hairs cursor to aim And if you right-click you cancel the action.
They are not allowed to shoot - just yet

2011_02_16_2218 version from that link is buged, in misions everything is black. (no light)

Moreover, in russian we have two forms of most surnames - male and female.

exactly the same is in polish, we have ex Kowalska (f) and Kowalski (m)
