Title: Ironfist Dropship 1.4c
Post by: Solarius Scorch on August 16, 2014, 03:34:06 pm
Ladies and gentlemen, a new troop transporter: the Ironfist.

(https://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa43/SolariusScorch/Modding/DROPSHIP.gif)

Get the latest version here: https://www.openxcom.com/mod/ironfist-dropship

WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?
This mod adds one new troop transporter. It requires all UFO components, but not UFO Construction.

WHY WAS IT MADE?
It was made for the Final Mod Pack, but I've decided to release a standalone version in case people like it and want to use it.

ANY DETAILS?
The Ironfist can transport up to 18 soldiers, including up to 4 tanks. It has two ramps for easier deployment. It uses Elerium as fuel. It has no weapon hardpoints. It also has extended radar range.

CHANGELOG:
1.0: Added the dropship.
1.1: Fixed some errors.
1.2: Shortened the ship to fix problems when landed close to the edge.
1.3: Custom soldier deployment inside the ship.
1.4: Update to fit the new mod structure.
1.4b: Fixed a terrain mismatch.
1.4c: Fixed some issues with walk-through walls.

Looks interesting! And it has stairs to go on the roof for snipers? O.O Nice idea!

Quick question: Why all components but not UFO constructions? This looks like Lightning+1 with less research..?

Well, it is a bit of a Lightning +1... Or more like Lightning -1, since it allows for no weapons and is generally performing much worse despite having two UFO reactors. (It makes more sense in the FMP, since it's a counterpart of the Sentinel.)
I wanted to base the ship on Skyranger, but I would have to make many new tiles, and it was a bit much. So I used a mix of lightning and Skyranger parts.

As for the stairs, well, Dioxine did it first :)

A front line report from the troops about the Ironfist assault craft:

Troops and HWP that cannot hover (Flying suits and hovertanks) are unable to climb back inside the craft after they exit... That is not good news if you discover that the mission is too much for your squad and want to make a hurried dust-off...

Otherwise, thaks for the excellent design and valuable addition to the craft variety.  8)

wut

Okay so I installed the latest nightly and then wanted to try out the Ironfist for the hell of it. Loaded up new battle and....this. I was using V1.1

So I uninstalled V1.1 and installed V1.0 to see if the same problem occurs. And of course, as lucky as I am, of course it did. I have no clue what's causing this. I am considering backing up my data folder, moving it elsewhere, and then moving in an old data folder which I will then install V1.1 again of the Ironfist to see if it's a problem with conflicting mods.

Post by: Solarius Scorch on August 21, 2014, 11:42:30 pm
It's probably caused by unpatched version of your game. Make sure to follow the Openxcom instructions: first the official patches, then the Universal Patch.

Wait wait wait.

It said it was in the Windows Installer. I used that to bring my game to 1.0. I then installed the nightlies. Are you telling me I'm missing something?

No no no, I don't mean the Openxcom install. I mean the original X-Com: UFO Defense / UFO: Enemy Unknown files that you import to the Openxcom when it installs.

I'm not sure it's the reason, but that's my educated guess.

Maybe. Probably because I don't have the patched Steam version that was always buggy.

Well maybe, maybe not. I'll try again later.

Nice ship!

But.... yes, sorry, a but!

I arrive at a crash site.

It's a bunch of sectoids and cyberdisks, completely flanking me at all directions.

I make the decision to quit the mission, so my troops escape, but sadly, my tanks are unable to board the craft, as IronFist, is a couple of tiles too close to the edge of the map for the tanks to go on the craft!

Ouch! That's some bad luck.

I feared it would happen, but it was hard to make the ship any shorter. I can look at it again...

side exit doors :P

I thought about that, but it would have to be 1 tile only, so no help with tanks. :)

Also, the tileset doesn't allow for doors on the left side of the craft.
Title: Re: Ironfist Dropship 1.1
Post by: Recruit69 on August 26, 2014, 10:47:32 pm
What about dropping it a level, i.e. no support on legs,

Then you can add sliding doors, rather than ramps (Like Triton from TFTD)?

The elevation is not a problem. I made sliding doors at first, but due to the two exits and the entire layout it didn't look good, so finally I had to get rid of them.

Got it to work finally. Works like a charm.

But are all the soldiers supposed to be at the doors or spread throughout the craft? They are in three lines at the doors for me.

That's how deployment works in Openxcom. I don't think I can do much about that, unless there's something I don't know.

Gander this:

Code: [Select]
    battlescapeTerrainData:
      name: LIGHTNIN
      mapDataSets:
        - BLANKS
        - LIGHTNIN
      mapBlocks:
        - name: LIGHTNIN
          width: 20
          length: 10
    deployment:
      - [10, 5, 1, 2]
      - [10, 6, 1, 2]
      - [10, 4, 1, 2]
      - [9, 7, 1, 2]
      - [9, 3, 1, 2]
      - [8, 7, 1, 2]
      - [8, 3, 1, 2]
      - [7, 7, 1, 2]
      - [7, 3, 1, 2]
      - [6, 6, 1, 2]
      - [6, 4, 1, 2]
      - [6, 5, 1, 2]

I don't know if it works, but deployment supposed to tell where the soldiers should be deployed. The numbers (first tile = 0) are: x (lef-right), y, z level (0=ground), and finally facing (0 being 1.30 o'clock, then clockwise 1.5 hr each, you need 0 for this ship).

Post by: XCOMFan419 on August 29, 2014, 04:48:05 pm
I just realized that the ironfist is expensive as all HELL

Same cost as an Avenger (120 alloys, 3 navigation and 6 power sources) yet carries 8 less soldiers and has no weapons. While you can argue that it doesn't require UFO Construction and all those other techs for the new craft, having 100 scientists really negates that as being a problem.

I would've made it as expensive as the Lightning though, or even the Firestorm.
 
But hey, it's your mod. Just providing feedback.

Frankly I didn't pay much attention to this, since at this stage I normally have at least 30 mln dollars, so any expense is purely for fluff only. However, I'll think about this.

I'm having the exact same problem XCOMFan419 had before. I disabled every other mods but it still didn't work. I got frustrated, so reinstalled as 1.0 with installer but still the ship doesn't seem to be right. Then I got the latest nightly, but still the problem lingers on.

I really don't think I've done something wrong with the installation (1.4 patch -> 1.0 -> nightly) since I was doing everything fine with other mods so far, some of which add the terrain files. I don't have any clue at the moment :(

Post by: SIMON BAILIE on November 21, 2014, 12:51:37 pm
Dito, I encountered exactly this problem as many others have described but I was using version 1.0. In the end I scrapped the Ironfist and built a Skywarden which with the exception of no stairs is in my opinion overall better than the Ironfist, faster for a start 2500km/h. But see the pics and decide for yourselves. However I'll have a look @ version 1.2 and see what happens.

Hm, so I'm not the only one having the problem... I know nothing about map files so I cannot do anything :( I even don't know how to open the files: just tried the paint and of course it wouldn't work ::)

I'd love to use any ships. The most interesting thing about this mod was that it is a transporter: there had been plenty fighter type of crafts but few of them were transporters. Can I see your Skywarden? I do have seen a craft named Skywarden from XAE mod, but your Skywarden seems to be a different one. I'd love to see a transporter capable of carrying many troops...
Title: Re: Ironfist Dropship 1.2
Post by: SIMON BAILIE on November 21, 2014, 01:30:57 pm
Can't take the credit myself as this Skywarden is from "Xeno Operations v0.8 Beta By XOps". If u're thinking of using this mod I think there might be conflicts if u're using XAE @ the same time.

I upload some pictures. It's without any mods except the ironfist 1.2 with the latest nightly.

Soldiers can go up the stairs, but strangely cannot go right outside via the front (where supposedly the ramp should be). Soldier with flying armors can do the trick, though. Basically identical to the case of XCOMFan419. I would PM him just in case.

For what it's worth, I installed the steam version, ran the installer for OpenXcom 1.0, and have just been installing the nightlies as they come out. I have the Final Mod Pack, and I haven't had a single issue with this craft. Is the FMP version different somehow? The only other mod I'm using is one of my own make that just tweaks weapon stats, so no conflicts or inadvertent fixes that I know of.

I was suspecting that, and today I just copied and pasted the suspected files (terrain and map files from FMP with lightning and avenger since those are related to this mod) and it finally works. I have no idea exactly which file has the direct connection with this mod. But I'm just assuming some changes in the map/terrain/routes files are inevitable to use this mod. Altering the basic map/terrain files can cause confliction with other mods so one should be a bit careful using this mod seperately, I guess?

I meant this part: "OpenXcom requires a vanilla version of the original UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense (any edition) with the latest patch." What I meant was the OpenXcom Universal Patch.

Anyway, I can't explain the difference between functionality of these maps, since they should be exactly the same. Anyone else has similar problems?

You mean the maps/terrain/routes files of lightning and avenger from FMP are the same as those of openXCOM? IIRC the size of some of those files were different from that of openXCOM files. And they were different from those in the universal patch, too (I used the installer so they are in my openXCOM folder anyway). And if those files are to be really the same, was there any reason to attach those files into FMP? ???

There's still a possibility that I've done something wrong, and in that case it's good since that means I've fixed it now :) But I'm just wondering then why FMP has those additional files ???

Because FMP means French/Final Mod Pack? :P

I'm using this transport ship a lot in my current game of redux but was wondering if it's possible to have some of my troops starting @ the bottom of the stairs, see pic for details. I've looked @ the .rul file but can't see where to change the deployment in that.

It might work better to have the two tanks in front of the two doors too? Or is that a deliberate choice so you can chose to lead with either tank or soldier? Just thinking for soldier safety (and faithfulness to vanilla)

Maybe it's time to make FMP a "master" mod and write mini-mods with such things as varied Ironfist deployment variants... Realistically speaking, the mod system is so easy to navigate now, that a player could then switch between various deployments by simply saving & exiting to main menu, switching the minimod, and loading :)

Oh Lord, that would be a wholly different level. :) Who knows, who knows...

This mod does not require any nightly functionalities, and a vast majority of players do not use the nightly.

Have updated my current game of redux with v1.3 and is going a treat, @ least I've a fighting chance vs the elite muton/ethereals missions. Saying that I had to abort a crashed commander guard battleship as those 2 aliens r bad enough but not 6 or more armored sectopods as well. Thanks for updating as quickly as u did.

No problem :)

Just something I tried and it worked fine: Why not replace the stairs with a lift, you can use the tiles from U_walls? :)

It's possible, but it's require some additional prerequisites to explain why X-Com uses anti-gravity technology. :) And that would probably mean that by that time, the Ironfist would quickly become obsolete due to Avenger.

Ok, I see your point. But why not use the ladder thingamabob from Hobbes' Dawnurban mcd file, then?   ;)


or was it madurban... anyway, one of those mcd's had ladders in it.

Yeah, it was Madurban. Would be possible, sure - I'll think about it.

But what I'm having in mind is a different type of plane that would be more suitable for ladders. :)

Sorry to necro a old thread, but this is completely broken on the current nightlies

The problem is not with the nightlies, it's my fault - I modified some maps without updating the terrain. Sorry.
Now should work (1.4b).

EDIT: another update (1.4c), this time dealing with some walk-through walls.
