About the special weapons - I've written up some formal documentation for it, just forgot to post it. There will be a thread in the OXCE+ section soon explaining how to use it with some examples.

Can you post the relevant alienDeployment/extraSprites code?

alienDeployments:
  - type: STR_ALIEN_WAR
    markerIcon: 12
    width: 50
    length: 50

  - type: GlobeMarkers
    width: 36
    height: 3
    subX: 3
    subY: 3
    files:
      0: Resources/Geo/globe_ufo_expanded.png

i think i know what i did wrong the globe marker image only goes to 36 and i´m using a 63 (36/3 = 12 so only 0 to 11 markers)

Yeah, you have 16 markers on globe_ufo_expanded.png, so if you want to use all you'll need to increase width to 48

No, but can be easily added (10 minute work).

Out of curiosity: what would be a benefit of that?

i got missions that uses UFO as landed, so there not a UFO landed , there like a fortress or a cathedral.
i Use UFO and not terror direct site to have the current environment , i know its possible to do the direct site to all environment but i guess its a lot more work and i´m lazy   ::)

Good point.

OK, in the next release, there will be a "landedMarker" attribute.

The landed marker was added also to vanilla yesterday... unfortunately under a different name.

So, to remain compatible, I will rename the ruleset attribute from "landedMarker" to "markerLand" (in OXCE+ 4.0 and higher).
