Work In Progress / Future Start Date
« on: July 14, 2013, 03:19:16 pm »
Good day, commanders.
The problem:
1999 is no longer in the near future. However, the game takes place in the near future. Therefore, shifting the date somewhere later makes sense.
The solution:
Put this:
And add this:
Fun note: the week day in the attached start date is correct!

Suggestions / Re: Achievements
« on: July 05, 2013, 11:06:07 pm »
Coincidentally, i've been awarding "medals" to my soldiers by putting a symbol after their names, according to fairly simple rules of memorability of their achievements:
o - Bravery Medal - Killing an enemy or several through tremendous risk to own life, or chasing down one while wounded. Alternatively, surviving a massacre.
* - Heroism Medal - Saving the life of a teammate by neutralizing his wounder, then using a medi-kit.
+ - Sharpshooter Badge - Pulling off an improbable shot.
' - Reactions Badge - Killing an enemy or several of them via reaction fire.
~ - Tactician Badge - Purposefully killing more than one enemy using the environment, perhaps a gas pump or a fuel barrel or through a very strategic placement of proximity mines.
On the upside, it does make the better of my guys stand out. On the downside, when one of them does die, it makes the event somewhat more traumatic than it could have been otherwise.

Oh, i usually stick around. 'Sides, i'm notified of topic replies -- by the way, could the powers that be turn post preview on for reply notifications?
Oh, by all means, do contribute to my humble efforts. By attaching a patch file, as requested in the first post, so that i can at least review your contribution before integrating it. If it deviates too much from my the original idea, you're welcome to fork it and post as your own -- wait, i can't believe i have to explain the basics of collaborative source control to you of all people!

I linked it to my Dropbox to avoid needing to manually reattach the file every time i update some minor thing in it. I'm going to revert it, thank you very much. Next time, i would appreciate if you just send me a patch.

Fixed, thanks. Is the "normally" part conveying the "in the usual way" meaning, by the way?

I'm not sure that "granada de gas" is the best possible translation for this object, seeing that the stun bomb is translated as "bomba aturdidora"; Seeing that the stun grenade is just a modified stun bomb, i feel it would be better to use "granada aturdidora" for this purpose, which is what i've used.
Translations updated, thank you!

With the addition of custom sprites and custom strings support, the mod is now complete and comes in a handy zip file. No more patching, no more troubles, as long as you have a fairly recent version of OpenXcom.
If you are fluent in any of the languages i am not, consider posting the translations of the strings here. Your names will be forever remembered by the forum software.

Released Mods / [WEAPON] Custom Grenades
« on: May 17, 2013, 10:19:34 pm »
Good day, commanders.
Incendiary Grenades
The Problem:
I like to burn things occasionally. Especially in forests and jungles, where those damn plants block your view and hide dangerous creatures, even more so at night time. Unfortunately, short of always keeping a spare auto-cannon with a few packs of incendiary ammo in the jet, there is little that can be done when you suddenly feel the urge to see the world burn.
The solution:
Enter the grenade mod, which creates a new, compact and convenient way to burn down the forest. Just pull the thing out of your shoulder pouch, prime it, throw it and step back. You can now bring some marshmallows to fry. You will need to research and manufacture it before it can be used, however.
Technical details:
The grenade mod comes in the form of a ruleset file that can be placed in your data/Ruleset/ directory and included in the config.cfg file. No external resources are necessary. It uses a grenade sprite from the original data files, which was, surprisingly, left unused for many years. Also included in the ruleset are the relevant translated strings for every language that i know, which is, admittedly, not that much. To make full use of this mod, an OpenXcom version no earlier than openxcom_git_master_2013_05_25_0747 must be used.
Stun Grenades
The Problem:
X-Com employs the brightest scientists on Earth. Can't they figure out a way to stun a room full of aliens without lugging around that awkward, single-purpose small launcher?
The solution:
Enter the grenade mod, which creates a refreshing new way to deploy stun bombs: by turning them into grenades. You see, by examining both the small launcher and the stun bomb, the scientists can figure out how the stun bomb is activated, which allows them to attach a trigger to it, after which it can be primed normally. The stun bombs themselves will still have to be modified to be used this way. Fortunately, you can always just manufacture more of them, right?
Technical details:
This grenade is included in the ruleset described above. Unfortunately, no free resources were available for this purpose, sothe stun bomb sprite was reused a new one was made by combining the alien grenade and the stun grenade sprites. The sprite should be placed into a data/Resources/ directory (which can be acheived by unzipping the linked archive into the data/ directory. As above, make sure you have a fairly recent OpenXcom version.
