The X-Com Files / Re: Teleporting 2x2 units in base defense
« on: August 27, 2022, 07:43:32 pm »
*sigh*

Thanks for the reply. Several of my bases are manufacturing/research bases where i deliberately don't have a hangar, because in vanilla that meant there wouldn't be 2x2 units attacking you. I guess that's not the case in this mod.

Maybe it could be solved with the reinforcements system?

The X-Com Files / Teleporting 2x2 units in base defense
« on: August 27, 2022, 07:13:45 pm »
I'm in the middle of a base defense at a base with only an access lift, no hangar. I have 1 soldier and a ton of drones right next to the lift, so when they step out of it i can gun them down en masse. It seems the MiB who attacked my base didn't care, because suddenly a shot is fired at one of my rear drones, from furthest back in my base. I turn around and see a sectopod down there, so unless it's a bug, i assume the AI cheats and just teleports 2x2 units into your base if you don't have a hangar? Or is it because it's literally impossible for it to get into my base, due to the layout of the drone bay right next to the access lift?

Attached save file.

EDIT: Ok so more turns go by and i manage to kill the sectopod, so back to focusing on the access lift. The enemy is starting to panic a lot, and suddenly i see an attack dog running around in the back of my base as well, and i can see panic plasma attacks from down there as well. What gives?

What exactly do the sickbay bonuses mean, regarding 'absolute' and 'relative'?

All right, all right. Still, I don't think there is space, or indeed a logical need, to include all possible combinations. These are holistic transformations.

If I'm wrong, please suggest a better solution.

I didn't even know it was gun kata that was blocked out by blood boosting. Since the description doesn't specify which ones it blocks out, i'm left to wonder which transformation that gets blocked, or transformations if there are several. Testing it out is tedious, and way more tedious if they they don't block both ways but can still be gotten in a certain order.

If it only blocks one, it could just be mentioned in the description. If it blocks several and there's not enough room in the description, i'd say cut down on the lore text. It's fine to have, but it shouldn't come at the expense of useful info. And if you really wanted to have a good lore description, it could have it's own ufopedia lore page (don't remember if that's already the case).

Oh, i didn't know that some missions were independent of the cult's overarching status. So destroy the manors to stop the missions. But can manors establish new manors?

Here's a save file and a red dawn assassination (vip) mission, long time after terminating the red dawn.

PS: No it wasn't any of the dossier missions

Mod version 2.5 and OXCE version 7.5.3, which anyone familiar with this problem could ask about, in case it was a known problem that should have been fixed in a recent patch. And like i mentioned in my first message, i don't "think" i terminated the red dawn...i DID terminate them, and i even double checked in the research tree. No information my ass :S

I could have sworn i terminated the black lotus, but after doing so i discovered one of their bases. Fair enough, it probably spawned before terminating. But then their missions (outpost investigation) started popping up after destroying the base. I went to check the research tree, and i guess i didn't terminate them after all...but then i saw an assassination attempt mission from red dawn, and i DID terminate red dawn many months ago, and double checked in the research tree. Is this a bug?

The X-Com Files / Re: Osiron missions not showing up

Ok so i think i formally unlocked the osiron missions by researching a zombie trooper. They had an implant thing that directly references osiron. Couple of months later i get the first osiron stakeout mission.

You must've gotten an Osiron guy from somewhere. Trading with Wizkids, maybe?

Most Osiron missions are gated behind 'Osiron' having been researched. If you have that, well, I guess RNG fucked you over. :-\

You can get the 'osiron' research topic from a bunch of different sources. I think i got mine from a mid-level officer in one of the cults, though it could also have been a homicidal maniac. When did they first show up for you?

I'm in June 1998 right now, and i unlocked the 'osiron' research topic about 6 months ago, but i have yet to see any osiron missions. Am i missing anything?

So, you gave a runaway reporter some extra-juicy secret info, and now are wondering whether him taking off with these is a bug? ???

Well to be fair, you were given direct control of him, AND he came back to the base with you for interrogation :P

The X-Com Files / David stole my files?
« on: July 11, 2022, 03:03:14 am »
I just did the David Vincent mission, and i noticed a briefcase of Ultra Secret Files lying on the floor. For whatever reason i decided to have him (David) pick up the files and put them in his inventory. After the mission i noticed i didn't get any files. Is this a bug?
