Offtopic / Оriginal X-COM features that cannot be used in OXC OXCE

« on: June 11, 2024, 04:32:07 am »

what features can't OpenXcom and OXCE replicate from the original game?
and the only way to feel it is to play the original game:

- input copy protection code from X-COM manual [OXC and OXCE]
- empty "" Base name [OXC and OXCE]
~~- General Stores 50 [OXCE]~~
- TFTD dye grenade 10 , user mod , ufopaedia [OXC and OXCE]
- fast shots and doors animations / CPU cycle tuning , user shoot mod [OXC and OXCE]
- Using Psi with turning the soldier [OXC and OXCE]

add to this list, everything you could find

OXCE Bugs from OXC / [Bug] turtle moving under Celatid vision (cydonia part 2) (reaction fire)

« on: June 10, 2024, 07:00:05 am »

OXCE 2024 7.12.0 (v2024-02-24) x64
all mods and settings are turned off

bug - cydonia part 2, turtle moving under Celatid vision

to reproduce:
1 download save + options
2 move your unit like in image below, it will move 1 tile per click (and stops moving) just because Celatid sees him

original topic with this bug

as Xilmi mentioned:

Quote from: Xilmi on June 10, 2024, 12:49:03 am

What possibly happens is that the celatid supposedly reaction-fires but it doesn't work because of too low ceiling or something but it still interrupts the movement.

Edit 2: This issue goes deeper. Even if I control the Celatid myself I don't get any error-message if I try to shoot but the shot doesn't actually fire. So whatever is done to check whether a shot should be working seems to succeed but the actual shot doesn't.

Quote from: Xilmi on June 10, 2024, 01:42:46 pm

Yes. It doesn't use the game-logic from Createprojectile to check whether the shot will be fired but some weird Mod-script or something that apparently says it's okay without doing actual checking.
I used a workaround to fix it in BOXCE which is letting it be checked by my AI, which I also had to teach not to think that impossible shots are possible and where I recreated the checks that are done in Createprojectile.
And when a human tries to use an arcing-shot-weapon it apparently uses the same faulty check that will give a false-positive so the human doesn't get an error either. This part I didn't fix though.

There should have been a proper API that implements the logic in one place and is just referenced at all other places. But instead the check whether it works was only done when the shot is already supposed to be fired and there's now 2 different methods who do a validity check before that happens. One works properly (mine) and one doesn't and creates false positives (the one that was used before).

But I didn't want to spend too much effort so I just did the simplest thing I could come up with to make it work.

Troubleshooting / [crit error crash] ctrl+W with tank

« on: June 10, 2024, 06:05:38 am »

OXC 2024 Nightly 2024_02_28_0704

OXC crit error when you are using Ctrl+W on the tank
it's writing about mod, but I have no installed user mods and all default mods are turned off

how to reproduce:
1. new battle button
2. equip craft - equipment - add any tank
3. start battle
4. ctrl+D ctrl+W with tank

save + options if you need, but it's fast to reproduce

OXCE Suggestions NEW / [Suggestion] add a list of the amount of items on different bases

« on: June 06, 2024, 05:45:25 am »

add a list of the amount of items on different bases
sometimes it's a bit boring to check item amount on different bases (check a remaining ellerium-115 for fuel)
or to seek some item, jumping from base to base

else one related topic Showing which bases have specific items from the vaults screen.

OXCE Suggestions DONE / [DONE][Suggestion] center on landing UFO

« on: May 14, 2024, 10:50:21 am »

when you have many radars and can see the whole globe and many UFOs - sometimes you need to look for a landing UFO
so "center button" will be good

OXCE Support / [Answered] Starting base available space question

« on: May 09, 2024, 08:55:35 am »

why does a General Stores hold 65 and not 50?
because the starting base is 40 + 11 aircraft = 51?

51 x
40 50
x = 51*50/40=63,75

OXCE Suggestions Archive / [Suggestion] equip a slot (not a soldier)

« on: May 06, 2024, 08:38:01 am »

How to equip a soldier slot, but not a soldier?
If I want 1th and 2nd slot with the Rifle
3rd and 4th with Laser
etc
there are a lot of deaths and every time before each battle you need to re-equip all the slots, and all the soldiers change the craft slot each time
even after 1 death all is shifting
