I have finally completed the testing of the homegrown elements of this mod, as well as compiling the borrowed elements of this mod.
The basic premise of this pack it that long range weapons are not allowed. No Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Rockets, Blaster Launchers etc.
What this mod adds is:
- Dart Pistol (Stun damage in a pistol :) - Requires Research)
- Flashbang Grenades (A stun grenade to complement those made by converting stun bombs from the launchers. - Requires Research)
- Blaster Pack (An IED made from 1 Blaster Bomb and 1 HE Pack. Packs a nice punch. 8) )
- Zapper (An improved/smaller Stun Rod. - Requires Research)

Translation Help Wanted:
I have strings complete for English (US - as that is my native language) and attempted GB spellings, but can't promise accuracy. I have added in other languages, from the other mods as I have found them, but the language support is very limited at best. I would greatly appreciate any help offered in any of those languages. I have probably even messed some otherwise correct stings by converting them from UTF-8 to ANSI.

Hello: Do you know what's the difference between "es" and "es-419" languages? I think I can help eith the spanish (español) translation...
I'm not sure, maybe Spain, and Latin American Spanish?
-
https://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tags/es-419
It is a common business practice to localize content into a neutral
version of Latin American Spanish to serve all or most Spanish-speaking
regions in Latin America. This code is intended to identify this neutral
variant of Latin American Spanish and distinguish it from Castilian
found in Europe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_code
es – Spanish, as shortest ISO 639 code.
es-419 – Spanish appropriate for the Latin America and Caribbean region, using the UN M.49 region code
still not sure if there should be a difference now content wise
-
Ok, I am from Argentina, so I think I am qualified to make the Latin American translation, but I am sure it can also be used for the European Spanish language strings. Stay tuned! :-)

A few more tweaks. Package updated in OP.
For Balance: Adjusted price of Scout drone.
- (8/15/2014) adjusted price of drone down from 200K to 40K. This is the price of a Rookie, and these units are highly disposable. The original price compared to fully equipped combat HWPs felt that the scout was overpriced and therefore wouldn't get used
- (8/16/2014) updated UFOpedia text to reflect this flavor. Tweaked value down to 25 to represent their expendable nature.
-
After more Playtesting, I have made some more balancing tweaks...
- Increased accuracy of Dart Pistol
- Increased power of Dart Pistol
- Set Clips to increase in capacity when scaling up from A > B > C.
- Decreased range of Tazer, to provide incentive to move away from it, and to make it more realistic.
Getting set to upload the mod to the official download site. :)

That is too cheap, Scout Drone is much better scout than a Rookie:
Time units>70 (instead of 50-60 of a rookie)
Reactions=110! (instead of 30-60 of a rookie)
Can create multiple smoke fields and still move (a rookie barely one, if he doesn't move)
Is smaller and thus harder to hit than a rookie...
I would not go under 100K... may I suggest let's say: 120K?

I actually did some research on this and tried to price scout drones like this. I feel comfortable with the cost of this drone as it is little more than a remote controlled vehicle with a camera and smoke dispenser. The Talon series of combat robots are the closest thing that I could compare it with, and I have edited the Ufopedia entry to reflect this. They are not uber talented systems and have no lethal capability, so I don't have a problem with making them cheaper. ;)
Cheers, Ivan :D

The point is not to make it realistic (otherwise Avenger would cost 500-times more for example), the point is to make it balanced.... and fun. Such a powerful scout for a cost of a rookie (and without monthly salary) is not balanced no matter how I look at it. But feel free to keep it this way... that's the power and beauty of modding.

French Translation
_______________
I use Notepad++, verify if the text is in the correct format (ANSI as UTF-8 or UTF-8), modify or add, save (click up on the X in the right corner to close the program, it will ask you to save and won't mess the initial format).
The French translation is done entirely using my best knowledge.
OpenXcom gives me a lot of free fun, so I help a bit if possible.
:D

Awesome! Thanks for the help! :)

I really like the Dart Pistol.
We absolutely need to do autopsy researches, finally...
I'm using the Clip B now and the precision is better. A precious and essential weapon.
"Extremely useful".
Thank you for sharing it. I'll keep it for sure.
P.S. Just a correction in my French translation. Same problem with the English language, the windows is too small. Just look at your example (picture) up! :)
STR_DART_PISTOL_UFOPEDIA: Ce pistolet armé de fléchettes contient un agent biochimique puissant, mais non létal, qui peut étourdir et ainsi neutraliser n'importe quelle forme de vie sur un champ de bataille, sous condition que la dose soit suffisante.
I suggest that you adjust the English text too.
That's it! Everyone will be happy.
Good luck with your Mod.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you are enjoying the Dart Pistol!

Update the Mod on the website.
A few changes with the combat knife. I have given it an overhaul after a discussion with Warboy about the new Melee mechanics and following his recommendations. I have posted those items in the Daichi Blade thread.
I have also added a new "hit" sound to the knife, so you will know when you have hit a target or not. This provides better feedback for the player.

STR_BLASTERPACK: Esplosivo Devastante
STR_BLASTERPACK_UFOPEDIA: "Ricerche sui lanciamissili a ricerca ci hanno portato ad una nuova comprensione della tecnologia degli esplosivi. Lavorando coi nostri ingegneri, abbiamo sviluppato un nuovo dispositivo esplosivo improvvisato unendo una di queste \"bombe devastanti\" con uno dei nostri vecchi esplosivi. Questa innovazione dimostra il meglio dell'ingenuità umana."
STR_COMBAT_KNIFE: Pugnale da Combattimento
STR_COMBAT_KNIFE_UFOPEDIA: "Utilizzando il suo taglio affilato, un agente addestrato può uccidere silenziosamente un nemico leggermente corazzato con un singolo taglio o affondo.{NEWLINE}Utile per tutti i tipi di combattimenti ravvicinati."

STR_DART_PISTOL_UFOPEDIA: "Basata sulle nostre migliori conoscenze di biologia aliena, questa Pistola spara dardi riempiti con potenti agenti non letali, che dovrebbero stordire le forme di vita aliene. Successive scoperte potrebbero permetterci maggiore capacità ed efficacia all'aumentare della nostra conoscenza delle forme di vita aliene."
STR_ELERIUM_MACE: Mazza ad Elerium
STR_ELERIUM_MACE_UFOPEDIA: "Usando l'Elerium-115 come combustibile, quest'arma rilascia una potente scarica elettrica alla sua malcapitata vittima. Un colpo andato a segno sovraccaricherà il sistema nervoso del bersaglio, paralizzandolo. La mazza ad Elerium stordirà qualsiasi organismo vivente."
STR_FLASHBANG_GRENADE: Granata Stordente

Causando una forte esplosione luminosa, questa nuova \"FlashBang\" stordisce i nostri avversari e potrà essere molto utile nella cattura di alieni vivi."
STR_FLOATER_MEDIC: Fluttuante Medico
STR_FLOATER_MEDIC_UFOPEDIA: La recente interrogazione di un medico alieno appartenente alla razza Fluttuante ci ha permesso di comprendere meglio la fisionomia dei nostri avversari. Questo potrà permetterci di sviluppare nuovi metodi per incapacitare gli alieni sul campo di battaglia. Dovrebbe essere una ricerca veloce.

STR_FUSION_TORCH_POWER_CELL: Cella Energetica per Torcia a Fusione
STR_FUSION_TORCH_POWER_CELL_UFOPEDIA: Questa cella ad alta energia è necessaria per far funzionare la Torcia a Fusione. Ha abbastanza energia per sparare 5 getti di plasma.
STR_FUSION_TORCH_UFOPEDIA: "La Torcia a Fusione usa delle reazioni Materia-Antimateria per produrre getti di plasma enormemente potenti.{NEWLINE}Se abbastanza vicino, il getto penetrante passa attraverso il bersaglio, sciogliendolo in pochi secondi. Anche la più forte armatura e le pareti degli UFO non possono resistere a quest'arma.{NEWLINE}Ad ogni modo, è effettiva solo a corto raggio e necessita una cella d'energia separata."
STR_IMP_FLASHBANG_GRENADE: Granata Stordente Avanzata
STR_IMP_FLASHBANG_GRENADE_UFOPEDIA: Esaminando gli impianti degli UFO recuperati siamo riusciti a comprendere la consapevolezza aliena. Alloggiamenti per lo svago degli alieni hanno permesso ai nostri scienziati di scoprire un meccanismo di epilessia fotosensibile (aka convulsioni indotte dagli Anime Giapponesi) che possiamo sfruttare per incapacitare i nemici. Abbiamo implementato questo meccanismo in una nuova granata stordente che è il doppio più effettiva del modello precedente.
STR_SCOUT_DRONE: Droide/Scout
STR_SCOUT_DRONE_UFOPEDIA: "Questo piccolo e robusto drone è progettato per l'esplorazione e la ricognizione. Basato sul piccolo robot militare Talon, questo drone non è munito dell'armamento e delle protezioni degli HWP. La sua velocità e la sua agilità permette veloci ricognizioni delle posizioni nemiche e permette di individuare gli alieni senza far correre rischi ai soldati.

STR_TASER: Pistola Taser
STR_TASER_CLIP: Caricatore per Pistola Taser
STR_TASER_UFOPEDIA: "Un'arma non letale derivata da un recente progetto per la polizia, capace di paralizzare bersagli fino ad una distanza di 5 metri. Anche se fa meno male di un'arma contundente, la sua presa elegante garantisce una presa facile, ed il raggio d'attacco da solo la rende un arma utile."
STR_ZAPPER: Zapper Elettroshock
STR_ZAPPER_UFOPEDIA: "Scoperte nella scienza dei materiali alieni ci han permesso un'arma ad elettroshock più potente del nostro normale storditore. Lo Zapper è più piccolo e maneggevole, ma ha bisogno di una carica maggiore. Per produrlo serve un mezzo storditore e materiali alieni."

Not sure if this is the right place Ivan but was wondering if u cud help me on this one. I wanted to add just the BlasterPack from ur mod into my current game but I've run into problems. First of all I had to copy in the resources the blasterpack.gif file and rename the copy HandOb_blasterpack.gif otherwise it wasn't loading. Then I had to tweak the rul file in the handob section. After that I tested it on an Ethereal Terror site and all seemed well til OPXC crashed with this error message "invalid vector<T> subscript". Attached below is my alterations, thanks in advance. Very good series of videos so far as I'm halfway thru episode 98 atm.
Hi Simon! Thanks for the feedback on the BlasterPack!
A couple things:
When you copied the BlasterPack.gif to HandOb_blasterpack.gif you were just copying the Big Object. This won't work as hand ob for the soldiers.
The other issue is that the Handob is now a spritesheet, not a folder of sprites (This is an oversight on my part). This needs a different format in the ruleset:
- type: HANDOB.PCK
width: 256
height: 40
subX: 32
subY: 40
files:
308: Resources/BlasterPack/HandOb_BlasterPack.png
This tells OpenXcom how large the image is, and where to slice it up (32x40 px). If you replace this back into your ruleset, you should be good to go. :)
Cheers, Ivan :D
-
Did as u said and upon a test it all works fine but for one thing, u don't need any items to manufacture them, I changed "requireditems" in the rul file to "requiredItems" but to no joy. It's probably something very simple as I came across this issue when I was designing my "stunblaster" and I can't mind how I got the special materials to appear in the manufacture screen. So please help once more.
-
requiredItems:
Thanks for catching that! big "I" in items!
Cheers :D

Have put the blaster pack mod on now, have researched it but still have the problem that it doesn't need any high explosives or blaster bombs. Checked several other mods and I can't see why this happens, easier to produce in a playthrough but that's not the point, u shud need the "requiredItems". Maybe u can have a further look @ this and get back to me.

manufacture:
- name: STR_BLASTERPACK
category: STR_WEAPON
requires:
- STR_BLASTERPACK
space: 3
time: 250
cost: 9000
requiredItems:
STR_BLASTER_BOMB: 1
STR_HIGH_EXPLOSIVE: 1
Replace the "manufacture" section with the code above. In the previous version (that you downloaded from the mod site) it has:
requireditems
- not:
requiredItems
The "I" has to be capitalized.

I had the "I" capitalised but I just copied what u sent there directly into the rul file and it works (see pic), definately most odd but I'll not complain. Looking forward to nuking the entire battlescape now. Thanks once again for ur quick response.
