Troubleshooting / Alien containment -> "remove" <> "kill" ?? (nightly + final mod pack)

« on: February 05, 2017, 03:09:58 pm »

Hello,

Currently playing nightly OpenXCom + FinalModPack

When "researching" an alien, at the end the alien is turned into 1 corps in storage.

But ... when i "remove" an alien from alien containment" it simply disapear, without giving me 1 corps in storage.

Is there any global option or mod parameter to control this ?

I would like to been able to "kill" alien in containment and get 1 corps for each.


Thanks for ideas and informations.

Thanks

Troubleshooting / No corps from alien "removed" from containment

« on: October 28, 2016, 11:47:12 pm »

 Hi,

When i "remove" an alien from the containment, i got no corps in stock inventory.

Too bad with mod like FMP where some corps (liek floaters, sectopods, cyberdisk) are of great value to be disasembled.

Is it a mod optiojn (currently playing FMP) or a global option (XCom, n ightly build) or not possible ?

Thanks

Troubleshooting / increase/decrease button no longer work with mouse wheel ?

« on: October 09, 2016, 10:29:16 pm »

Hello,

a little pb i have since some time  (before the summer holidays).

Actually, build 2016-09-25 on Win 7 U amd64, fresh install of the OS.

In OpenXcom, mouse wheel work for scroling in long list, but there is no effect when scroling while cursor is on an increase/ decrease button.

What can i do for this ?
I have the pb with the basic Windows mouse driver as well as the OEM driver.


Another question ... is there any key-combination to jump quantity by huge amount ( like : ctrl-clic -> +/- 100 items ) ?
Thanks

Troubleshooting / ? bug ? - can't unload tank from moded crafts

« on: November 02, 2014, 03:56:36 am »

Hello,

It seems there is a pb with modded transport craft, tanks can't unload from new transport like for exemple "SkyTrooper" (from here : https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=2706.0)


I have done some testing, it's ok up to openxcom_git_master_2014_10_12_1240 but tank can't go down the exit since openxcom_git_master_2014_10_13_0423


I can't find build older than 2014_10_13_0423 on the downlaod page, are they available elsewhere ?


Vanilly crafts seems to have no pb, only new ones, so ... bug repport or not ?

Open Feedback / Armors and damages ???

« on: October 27, 2014, 12:38:48 am »

Hi,

I'm not sure of fully understanding the calculation of damage to soldier wearing an armor. 

How are accounted the "xxxxxArmor:" values and the "damagemodifier:" ones ?

Is there any doc/tuto on this part ?

Thanks

Suggestions / Equip armor from the in-base inventory screen ?

« on: September 10, 2014, 10:24:56 pm »

Congratulations to all the contributors to this great game (developers, artists, modders ...)

And ... a little wish ...

Would it be possible to be able to select the armor for a soldier from the crew's equipment screen available for transporters at base ?

In the concept:
-1- Be in soldier equipment from one carrier to the base screen
-2- Click on the silhouette of the soldier
-3- Pop-up -> list of available armor
-4- Click / select the armor and return to the screen equipment

Thank you.

Troubleshooting / Where are my sectopods ?

« on: August 03, 2014, 02:33:34 am »

Hello,

currently playing with build : openxcom_git_master_2014_08_01_2129

I just destroyed an Ethereal base, and by the way, I stunned 3 sectopods.

I found them in the alien detention inventory.

I "kill" them via alien detention screen ... but no trace of the body in the store.

Where are the bodies? I need to build cyborg XCom :-(

Troubleshooting / crash on base defense if scout drone in store

« on: August 03, 2014, 12:04:10 am »

Hi all,

I just encountered a crash, the game just close without any message.

It's on a base defense mission, the UFO land ... and plop, the game exit abruptly.

After some replay, i have found that this hapend when i have some scout drone in the base store.
If i sell scout drones before the ufo land, no crash and i can play the base defense mission.

Since it's linked to a mod, i don't know if this should be put in the bugtracker ?


savegame attached, just let the ufo attack "Zone 51"  and enjoy the crash

      STR_GAZER_AUTOPSY_UFOPAEDIA: L'œil de cyclope est la caractéristique principale de cette créature qui sinon ressemble un crustacé en plus évolué. Son importante armure n'est pas qu'un blindage, elle est greffé sur la créature par des implants bio-cybernétiques et constitue une vrai coquille.
      STR_HOLODRONE_UFOPAEDIA: Les holodrones sont pièces d'artillerie volantes. Ils sont protégés par une bulle de plasma qui interfère avec les tirs de plasma et le feu.

Troubleshooting / conflict ? "scout drone" vs "soldier inventory"

« on: May 18, 2014, 12:59:48 am »

Hello,

I have a strange pb.

When i load a "scout drone" in one of my ship, i loose access to the inventory of the last soldier in this ship.

In the inventory accessed bu base / ship / equipment / inventory -> the last soldier isn't diaslayed, and his equipment is available on the floor.

But ..the soldier is counted in the ship crew counter and is deployed if ship is sent in mission.

The pb is only in the in-base ship crew inventory screen.

Maybe i could open a bug-repport, but i dont know if its a real bug or just a confilct to be solved in the mod ?

Work In Progress / [WEAPON/BETA] Laser Sniper Rifle

« on: March 09, 2014, 05:32:54 pm »

UFOpaedia: -> Built arround a second-generation optical nucleus and equipped with sophisticated stabilizers, it delivers a high power shot  with an unsurpassed accuracy. However, it needs to cool between each shot and can't provide auto-shoot.


I wonder since I play XCom why lasers have such poor accuracy then they should be the most accurate weapons by their nature. (Only light, insensitive to EM and anti-G fields ). 

Here is a correction to this oddity, a precision laser rifle. 


Much more accurate than the base laser rifle, but can't auto-shoot.
Use removable power sources of different types, with different power and capacity.

3 "clips" are available through research:

• std battery - based on known human tech, a simple Lithium battery with low capacity and low power output.
  
• supercapacitors - an XCom technology embodying the potential of carbon-fullerene when used as power accumulator. Very high instant power delivery, but low capacity. It give only 2 shots per clip, but with the higest Laser beam output power.
  
• E115 power generator -  based on Alien power source technologie,slightly lower instant power than super-capacitor, but can provide more than 30 shots at medium power.

No fully balanced yet ...

Please post any feedback here;

This mod is still in Alpha, but since the same idea as been release in other mod recently, it is probably a good idea ;-) , or at least an awaited one.

Work In Progress / [WEAPON/BETA] Assault Rifle

« on: March 01, 2014, 11:41:03 pm »

Hi,

A new weapon for early game, directly available from shop : the "7.65 mm Assault Rifle".




This 7.65 mm caliber assault rifle is slightly more powerful than a standard rifle and has better accuracy.
 Moreover, it can fire explosive bullet, more efficient than percing ammo against some alien.


Credits to Chiko for is new rifle and ammo design here that served me as base for this mod's graphics.


Nb: availability of the third ammo, "alien alloy bullets" is dependent on moriarty's "alloy ammo" mod's main research (STR_ALLOY_AMMO).


I wonder if i need to release a ruleset witout this dependancy and use my own "alloy ammo research" ? ( like warboy's shotgun )
? ?

Beta release -> is playable, but the explosion of EP ammo is too big, and for now, i don't find any way to reduce it without loosing all damage amount as discussed on this thread.
