OXCE Suggestions DONE / Re: [DONE][Suggestion] Ladders / climbing

« on: May 06, 2023, 09:03:49 pm »

So..
If I add those attributes to the stats of an alien armor, say the Chryssalid armor, the alien will be able to climb walls?

Thanks for the explanation. That one in particular is a mission site but none of my base sites has the "-{0}", I need to fix that.

Thanks for the feedback and the translation!
I think that the strings with the "_" at the end are necessary: they are computed during execution, so there isn't a corresponding entry in the ruleset, but you still have to provide the text.
(I think they are used in the popup that appears when you L-click on an existing alien site/base. I don't remember the details, perhaps I misunderstood).

Thanks for the feedback!
The issue is also on the PC version, I was convinced I added the language in the correct way but evidently I did not.
Will fix in the next version using the fix that you suggest, however I need some time before I'm ready to release it.
(By the way the Russian translation is not fully up to date with the latest version of the mod).

Thanks
I noticed that in language strings, terrains have "MAP_" added to them, so "WAREFACTORY_SMALL" --> "MAP_WAREFACTORY_SMALL".
Maybe this screws the refNode?
Just a wild guess, I don't know it works.

OXCE Bugs FIXED / [FIXED] Vanilla civllians spawning, why? [OXC]

« on: February 19, 2023, 10:14:23 am »

Vanilla civilians are spawning but they should not.

Could it be because there aren't enough civilian spawn points on the map, so to fill the "16" quota it spawns regular civilians?

terrains:
  - &WAREFACTORY_SMALL
    name: WAREFACTORY_SMALL
    civilianTypes:
      - STR_CIV_SCIENTIST_M
      - STR_CIV_SCIENTIST_F
    mapDataSets: *mapDataSetsWarehouse
    [...]
  - name: WAREFACTORY_LARGE
    refNode: *WAREFACTORY_SMALL
    script: WAREFACTORY_LARGE
       
alienDeployments:
  - &STR_DROP_MISSION_LARGE
    type: STR_DROP_MISSION_LARGE
    [...]
    civilians: 16
    [...]
  - type: STR_DROP_MISSION_LARGE_INDUSTRIAL
    refNode: *STR_DROP_MISSION_LARGE
    terrains:
      - WAREHOUSE_LARGE
      - WAREFACTORY_LARGE
      - WAREMTL_LARGE

Help / Re: Globe marker UFO icon not working correctly

« on: January 07, 2023, 09:33:31 pm »

Solved it by redoing it, starting from the png included in OXCE (I had used the png included in the XCom Files mod as a base, converted to the correct palette of course).

Help / [SOLVED] Globe marker UFO icon not working correctly

« on: January 07, 2023, 03:11:05 pm »

I customized the globe markers because I needed extra icons.

  - delete: GlobeMarkers
  - type: GlobeMarkers
    width: 91
    height: 7
    subX: 7
    subY: 7
    files:
      0: Resources/apoc/geo/GlobeMarkers.png

The classic UFO icon (the third from the left) flashes red/cyan instead of red/dark-red.
The color is the correct one (see attachment).

Help pls.

Thank you!

Help / globe textue negative id?

« on: December 11, 2022, 01:13:55 pm »

I don't understand the logic of the negative id texture.

Positive id is straightforward:
 - each id corresponds to a texture, in sequence as they appear in the graphic file.
 - each texture is linked to one or more terrains (which make sense).

But in case of negative id:
 - each id corresponds to what? Is it arbitrary?
 - each "texture" is linked to one or more alienDeployment instead of a terrain. However the deployment can define the terrain itself so: can I skip defining negative id textures altogether?

Likely I'm losing myself in a glass of water.
Thanks.

Hi wolwerin, I added your translation to the mod, but I'm not yet ready to release the new version containing it.
