Before your troops can even all disembark, you'll see civilians raid the skyranger's storage tile, pick the heaviest explosive, set it off and panick.

Can the skyranger tiles not be set as out of bounds for aliens?

i think if they panic they pick it back up i seem to recall a sectoid panicking and being last enemy walking buy it seeing the floor icon thing then getting shot buy it on next turn

Work In Progress / Quick super simple edit for hangers

« on: January 22, 2015, 09:11:42 am »

Makes the hangers act more like multi-craft hangers rather than launch pads.
As of 1/22/2015 all it does is up the capacity to 2 crafts per hanger nothing else.

Plans make a large hanger and figure out how to make a pre menu to right click on hanger brings up what craft in hanger to equip and possibly shrink the craft on base screen to show multiple per hanger and make hangers cost more .

Try this: https://falkooxc2.pythonanywhere.com/rulcheck

Click where it says Open rulfile, then copy/paste your ruleset there (delete first what's already in the validator). Save and close, then test your ruleset. It will tell you precisely where the syntax issues are located.

is the red in NP++ showing error in code or what idk coding very well at all .

your indentation is all wrong

make sure your text editor uses a fixed width font, i suggest notepad++ as it supports yaml format natively.

compare this version:

i am using NP++?
i set it to yaml

Suggestions / Re: radar range in base info screen

« on: January 22, 2015, 06:37:31 am »

Quote from: Falko on July 26, 2014, 05:43:44 pm

instead of the two short/long rang radar lines there should be a line
radar range <- the biggest range of the built radar facilities is used
and
radar detection <- chance to detect ufo 100% (hyperwave detector) = full line the facilities are added up so with a lot of long range radar you can get 100% (without extra info)

idea for mod:
original:
- type: STR_SMALL_RADAR_SYSTEM
radarRange: 1500
radarChance: 10
- type: STR_LARGE_RADAR_SYSTEM
radarRange: 2250
radarChance: 20
- type: STR_HYPER_WAVE_DECODER
hyper: true
radarRange: 2400
radarChance: 100
change it to:
- type: STR_SMALL_RADAR_SYSTEM
radarRange: 2000
radarChance: 55
- type: STR_LARGE_RADAR_SYSTEM
radarRange: 2400
radarChance: 35
- type: STR_HYPER_WAVE_DECODER
hyper: true
radarRange: 1500
radarChance: 25

so you need a large radr to get the most coverage
the short radar gives the best detection probability
the hyperwave gives information but no 100% detection
one has to balance the numbers somewhat

now the change discussed above is more important

Trying to make a radar system mod with more facility's and types of radar every 5-15 intervals.
The idea is to make a series of radar's to open the feel of different configurations for large range but low success or cheap and small high success but high maintenance.

With the issue of hyper wave you set hyper=true well be 100 percent success always(unless bug fixed), but if set to hyper=false and radar chance can 1-100 depending on size or make a Hyper small,large and Hyper nexus and one that may even take up 12 squares or four hangers worth of size then it should be set to hyper=true.

Or just allow buying them right from the report screen.

or a pre menu to buy/sell close before you leave the refill menu.

« on: January 22, 2015, 05:58:26 am »

When loaded up says
Mod failed to load Facilityvar
Yaml-cpp: error at line 3, column 2: end of map not found

not sure what i did wrong as there is not much info on more step by step creation
