OXCE Support / [Solved] Unit's turn won't end if a fired grenade goes off the map.

« on: September 29, 2023, 01:33:47 pm »

I'm playing the X-Chronicles mod but I believe it's a bug with the game rather than the mod.

I've fired an explosive grenade from the grenade launcher and it went off the map and now the unit's turn won't end.

To reproduce though get a grenade launcher, fire explosive rounds at an enemy next to the map edge until it misses off the map.

Edit- I couldn't access the options menu to close the game properly so I alt-f4ed it and ran it up again, the ironman had saved it from just when I fired the round but I could select other soliders again so I finished the turn, which was fine, the aliens had their turn, which was fine, I continued with my next turn which was fine until I tried to move the solider who had fired the grenade round. As soon as I tried to move him he didn't do anything but his turn won't end again and I can't access the options again.

In the attached save just try to move the solider which starts selected.

Help / Using the sprite combiner

« on: February 17, 2021, 07:52:48 pm »

I tried to use the sprite combiner to form a sprite sheet, which I believe is what it does, but after hitting the convert button it just changed to 'error' and I can't find out what the error is.
The images I'm trying to convert are .png and I have 11 of them. I've tried converting all 11, just 1, 8 as that's the default no. of rows and changing the no. of rows to 11 but it hasn't helped.
The images are being uploaded fine as I can see them under the tool.

Below the images I've uploaded it says this:  no result image yet click show - convert - convert

So is there only one error it can be or am I missing where it tells me what the error is.

Help / Accessing Map Tiles in MapView

« on: February 15, 2021, 12:18:49 am »

I've downloaded 'MapView' and it seems to work fine, I can edit the maps that it has. It only has however the default vanilla maps and I can't work out how to get it to see any others.
Specifically I've got the Piratez mod installed, which has a bunch of none vanilla maps but I can't get 'MapView' to see them. I've tried directing the resource path to the Piratez UFO folder but that didn't seem to help, however it did do something as it then complained it didn't have the cursor.pck/.tab. But after adding those it still wouldn't see the maps.
Any help would be appreciated.

Resources / A small map

« on: January 06, 2020, 05:14:58 pm »

Hey all
I've made a small map, really just to test out and familiarise myself with MapView2.
It uses the Forest, Barn and Urban tilesets.
I was wondering if someone with a couple of thousdands of hours in the map editor could just check it over and let me know all the critical errors, glaring flaws and general bad practices I've filled it with.
And if anyone wants to use it in a mod please feel free.
Thanks.
