There are several in the vanilla version of XCOM, for example:

As you may notice, randomness can really affect timings!

Builds & Ports / Re: Having trouble compiling in Xcode
« on: June 15, 2016, 10:07:26 pm »
I don't know about Xcode, but if you have brew installed, you can get it to compile by following the steps from here:

https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Compiling_with_brew_(OpenXcom)

I had to change line 36 of Makefile.simple to the following too:

Code: [Select]
CXXFLAGS += $(shell $(PKG-CONFIG) --cflags sdl yaml-cpp) -I/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.60.0_2/include

Is your OSX too old for homebrew? I run the latest builds of OpenXcom on both OSX and Linux by running make -f Makefile.simple (OSX requires a small tweak though, there is a conflict of the boost library version).

Hi! sorry I am going to be brief, don't have much time right now. Answers:

1. What I attached is the patch to apply.
2. W.r.t. the code, you can download from https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/, I recommend you install git, and then do a git clone of the repository. The source code is on the src folder.
3. For recompiling, I recommend installing Homebrew, then running the steps from the wiki: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Compiling_with_brew_(OpenXcom)

Steps (assuming some dev knowledge):

1. Fetch the code from github.
2. Go to the source folder.
3. Run the patch command: patch path-to-patch-file
4. Recompile
5. ???
6. Profit

nice, we've been completely unable to diagnose/fix mac issues since forever, because none of us owns one. good to see someone's on the case :)
That's good to know then, if I find any issues I'll try to fix them then!

Hi folks,

Just wanted to post a patch I made to fix crashes (on Mac OS X) when enabling weapon mods that use gifs for the HANDOB images (e.g.: Combat Knife, Sniper Rifle, Minigun, GrenadeLauncher), in case anyone finds it useful.

Dev notes: Long story short, the problem is that SDL loads gifs as 32bpp surfaces on Mac OS X, and this patch adds a function to convert such surfaces back to 8bpp - note that the function requires a palette to do the conversion (for now, it uses the battlescape palette but it should probably do something smarter).

Cheers!
