For some this additional complexity is neat and adds realism. For my tastes it feels a bit excessive with the system of UFO Defence, which despite soldier customisation has much less emphasis on the core "heroic" troops. With less emphasis on them, the relationship system feels excessive on them.

Attaching the picture

EDIT: Since attaching the save file is impossible for some reason, here is a link to the file on my Google Drive:

XPiratez / [CRASH] Game crashes near the end of Dr. X Mansion

« on: November 16, 2022, 01:43:56 pm »

When playing the Dr. X Mansion mission at some point at the end of the mission (probably the end; there may be more enemies active - have not checked) the game crashes; crash screen attached.
One of the messages in the log states the following:
[16-11-2022_09-18-17]   [INFO]   MCD HANGAR2_SCI object 22 has invalid DieMCD: 51
Save file taken just before the end of the turn, just before the crash. Several notes:
* A single remaining enemy I am aware of (may be more around) is currently mind controlled and has a grenade under their feet;
* On a previous stage of the mission (in the canyon) remaining enemies hidden inside the mountains were killed via file edit; their status was manually changed to 6 and health - to 0, and no other line was edited. It is probably unrelated, but I wanted to cover all bases.
* The error refers to something missing from the segment in the existing mission; however, the file has not been manually edited ever since the current section of the game began.

Please help me find the reason for this behaviour.

Downloaded the OXCE android current build (v2022-07-15), downloaded n1.1 and moved mods folder over into the android openxcom mods folder but now luck. Downloaded (v2022-02-07) which I read "OXCE Upgrade to 7.5.3 7-Feb-2022" in the patch notes for v.M5 24-Mar-2022 The Five Captains.

I think you did too much work here. You installed "OXCE Upgrade" from 7th of February on the version from 15th of July. I personally used my old updated OXCE from before the v2022-07-15 (should probably work on that version as well) and moved the mod folder from the archive to the mods folder in the OXCE location. That made it work for me perfectly.

Released Mods / Re: X-Chronicles Release, v.0.99.3

« on: February 15, 2022, 07:17:46 am »

I feel like there are ladders in the game that are supposed to work like elevators but... don't. I am currently stuck on a ship assault mission where a legion resident mage is stuck below deck with no access. I don't have good enough explosives to breach the hull, so it's now a nigh impossible task.

P.S: couldn't attach more from my phone, so the most telling one is here.
P.P.S: The error occured on 0.99.2 since I didn't know about an update. Now I have to wonder if changing the version mid-mission will break anything.
P.P.P.S: SOLVED! I was indeed on a late version. Now everything works.

You can get a rough estimate of how long something will take by the little marks on the top left. Each # is 100 scientist-days, and if you're unlucky, it can be an extra 50% on top of that.

I cannot seem to find any marks while selecting a research topic. Can someone show me an example?
