i assume its the newest build, i still think it was the routes as I got sick of the errors and fixed it and (so far) have not had the same error again ( but i have not done much in the past 24 hours), will let you know for sure once I do a few more map blocks.

Hello,
  Just working on a little something something and getting this exception.... Good to see your still maintaining this  :P

Note: im  thinking as i was being  last and didn't make RMP maps for some new blocks, that this might be causing the error, well at least that's my current thought.

This looks interesting. Will this be a Xcom but purely melee and range (excluding gunpowder weapons)?

Sorry man, my Artist life became too busy so i switched to working on my FACTIONS mod, then my life became to busy so my Factions mod is still sitting there broken.....so both are in dead at the moment, not saying we never coming back, just not at the moment.

Yey, i logged in :)

Yes, a Fix is coming for Factions, perhaps new years day.

New features will slowly come after fixed version.

We expanded BulletDesigners Scang data to include some new sprites for Factions, now our Nuke zone has a minimap to match :)

patch for my Rice Farms :) copy these files into the mods TERRAIN folder.


Also, keep the bug reports coming, this Rice Farm was something i through together just for the CMP, as such its not as polished as the other maps in the set as its so new.
Thanks

Luke83 :P

In regard of UFO Defense, i guess alien bases have some nice things already: https://openxcom.mod.io/expanded-ubase-reworked

Hell yes, i have the Expanded U-Base in the mod already since it adds so much to the game, at some point though i need to add the TFTD ones for the Hybrid version but i want to get the other basic mission types working first.

Working on a Rice Farm for this mapset, most likelyhalf way there on the maps, still have a heap of sprite work to do.


Also i will merge some more maps into this set this weekend, hopefully we can get version 1 out in a few weeks :P

Is there anything I should do here? Or will you guys handle the ripping?

I can handle the ripping mate but to save me time, if you could just outline which maps are good for Geoscape replacements and which ones are suited to vanilla style Terror Missions it will save me a lot of trial and error as i am not overly familiar with what maps you have i hate to say it :( Also keep in mind that we need to keep OXC compatibility so if you have a mapset that could work if i re-write the scripts let me know and i will hit them after all the easy ones are in :)

To start with im going to focus on Geoscape and Terror missions, at a later date we acn double back and look at alien bases.

THanks again for the donations :)

Even if legally you are allowed to use Hobbes terrain because he had previously released them without any licence conditions and im not the guy to check the legalities of that) morally you should still follow his wishes, as we have, in the most part, been a pretty supportive and positive group of people here on these forums and i would hate to see the. Community start going the otherway where it is everyman for themselves. If we do become thay type of community, honestly i would walk away, why should anyone do anything for the greater good if everyone is only looking after number one.

To start with atleast, we should keep it to maps that work in oxc, if in 2years time we need some oxce feature than we can then speak to the devs to see if something can be ported back from oxce to oxc... As a none coder, i have no idea how hard this so dont want to waste devs time until we know of its even needed.

Lets not turn this into another pick on Hobbes topic, Hobbes made a decision and regardless of if you agree with it or not, that was his decision and as a community we should respect it. This is about how we move forward and i am only volunteering for service as someone needs to take the first step ( plus i was going to do something similar anyway for my Hybrid :) )

I will look at the rules under the Non-Commercial license in more detail as no matter what, Donations should be allowed as someone may ask for donations to keep a server running or pay a artist to do some custom work for example ( im actually  looking at commission a sprite for Factions, image if i didnt have to pay for it out of my beer money) so we shouldnt get upset if they do it and spend it all on beer.

So at this stage i dont have plans for a TFTD one however i do have some maps in FACTIONS that can be ported back to TFTD if anyone wants them. There would be a Pure Vanilla version as one download and a Hybrid version as a second download, i will adjust my rulesets so as i expand the vanilla i just need to duplicate the data over for the Hybrid game.

I have no experience with Github and was just going to manage these with some versioning notes inside each Rulesets like i do in Factions:

Quote
############################
## FACTIONS - armour - RULESET
## V0.0.2
## Lasted Changed by L83
## Comments: 18-01-2020 -Added Wanderers Unit
## Comments: 20-01-2020 -Added lostone Unit
###########################

Everytime i add something i just add some notes, thebulk of this process should just be copy, paste and test so i dont think i will be too hard to manage however if someone can point me to a idiots guide to Github i will at least watch a video and see how it all works :)

What ever version of mapview someone uses is not a big issue either, Pretty sure @kevl has made a convertor so if i get the old format i will just have a crack at converting it, its more important that the Rulesets work correctly, i dont want to be re-writing everyones map generation scripts  :P
