Suggestions / Assign All Scientists

« on: November 04, 2013, 01:34:11 pm »

I usually have 90-100 scientists, and holding down the arrow for 30 seconds every time I start a new project is getting a bit tiresome. Could another arrow be added to assign all remaining scientists or engineers to a project with a single click?

Suggestions / Soldiers' Names

« on: October 29, 2013, 03:47:08 am »

Something I loved in the original game was that the soldiers had 'mixed names'; you often got some funny combinations, like Anatoly Fukushima etc. This gives the impression that this society in the not-to-distant-future is very cosmopolitan, with many multi-ethnic families. I'm glad that the soldiers' names are no longer euro-centric (now there are Arabic, Kenyan, Polynesian ones etc.) but Arabic first names are always paired with Arabic surnames and so on.

Suggestions / Not enough TU to reload

This is very trivial, but I suggest that when you try to reload and get a 'Not enough time units' message, that the ammo (rocket, clip etc.) should automatically 'put itself back' in its slot/pocket.

@Warboy 1982:
What do you mean by "adjust all your soldier's loadouts manually"?
And if I choose edit the saved game in Notepad, do I change EVERY instance of 'explodeTurn: 0' to 'explodeTurn: -1' or just the ones pertaining to grenades?

Open Feedback / Re: editing .nam files

When I tried to overwrite the file I get a 'access is denied' message. It seems all the folders and files in 'data' are read-only, but when I try to change this in the folder properties, I get another 'access denied' message explaining that I need to provide administrator permission. But I AM the administrator.

Open Feedback / editing .nam files

I tried adding a few names to the .nam files in the 'soldiername' folder using Notepad, but was unable to save my changes. Can I edit these files with another program, or is there some trick in Notepad?

But how do I transfer a saved game? Does each saved game exist as a separate file? If so, what folder are they in (I've looked in every folder within the 'data' folder)?

Is it possible to transfer a saved game from an older build?

Troubleshooting / no opportunity fire

« on: October 24, 2013, 08:31:31 am »

Even when I make sure that my soldiers have enough TU, and select the 'Auto-shot' option before ending my turn, they never fire! Aliens approach and or fire at my soldiers with impunity, and then walk away scot-free. Is this a bug, or something to do with reaction levels?

Please disregard. I downloaded an incomplete version of the original game.
