OXCE Support / Re: [Answered] Starting base available space question
« on: June 11, 2024, 12:13:31 pm »
HANGARS in OXCE have 5 storage

oh, news
so OXCE have General Stores 50 + 3*5 Hangars = 65
and 2 General Stores + 3 Hangars = 50+50+15 = 115
I got it, was wrong

Like OXCE, it also has 50. But OXCE also adds storage space in hangars.  Since in the original game the equipment placed on board ships did not take up space at all, but in OXC it takes up storage space in the warehouse.  Thus, it is OXC that differs from the original game in that it has more limited storage space.  And OXCE slightly corrects this situation.

this affects only one General Stores and 7 space. So if you have 40 General Stores on 8 bases - they all will be 65. This means that original game is harder with 50 space. OXCE is adding 40x15=600 free space

10
this is also different in OXC compared to the original

in the OXC - General Stores have 50 space like in original, no?

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 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:

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.
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

completed the vanilla game with Brutal-OXCE 8.6.0 with SH+iron
it really has only pros and zero cons
this will help you understand the game better and get new pleasure
with default settings it plays almost like living leather human and perhaps even better than average living leather human
if you haven't played a vanilla game with OXCEB, then you haven't played xcom

OXCEB's battlescape hotkeys and one-click grenade priming are super useful
