Released Mods / Re: Ufo:TTS Style SniperRifle

« on: September 27, 2013, 09:34:04 pm »

Would it be possible to add a new Ammo to the sniper that shows up in the Ufopaedia only after it is researched?
I have an idea to prolong the use of the rifle by adding new bullets made of alien alloys that are stronger than the basic ones.

/edit:
I did a quick german translation:
      STR_SNIPER_RIFLE: Scharfschützengewehr
      STR_SNIPER_RIFLE_CLIP: Scharfschützengewehr Magazin
      STR_SNIPER_RIFLE_UFOPEDIA: Dieses 12.7mm Kaliber Scharfschützengewehr ist stärker als das Standard-Gewehr und ist sehr präzise. Es ist aber schwerer zu bediehnen und hat eine geringe Feuerrate.

Looks really good. I will give this a spin as soon as you declare your mod fit for everyday use.

Yeah, we would love to have his input. SupSuper, why not tweet him about it? You never know what might happen

Would be worth a try

Combat Knife, Grenade Launcher, and Custom Grenades.

Funny, with the new GIT-version I was able to get the Sniper to work for the first time.
I also use all the mods you mentioned, except the knife, all work fine.

Just did a quick test, seems to work.
Played a Large Scout and a Soldier was killed through a door in the outer hull i didnt look for - which is great, it adds some long-lost sense of discovery to the game!

It gets stranger and stranger:
Did (another  ) fresh install with todays git-version.
Played one mission without any mods to see if everything works fine - it did.
Then I applied just one patch, the sniper rife (which never worked before) and it worked without any problems, I just completed a mission...
I am now going to add one mod after the other to see if/when the game breaks.

I tried medium & large scouts.

I have been playing around with some other mods and was getting the same error without having your mod active 
I thank this time it was the Combat Armor-mod. I was able to play a small crashsite, but a terror mission crashed the instant i landed.

Maybe there is something wrong with my installation.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, I still get the same error.
To eliminate all external influences, I started with a fresh install, applied the latest GIT-update and installed only your mod.
On one crash-site, I was able to start the mission and play for some rounds. I think the game crashed as soon as the UFO was supposed to come into view.

My first base is always called X-COM HQ

Additional bases are named after their role and the continent they are on, for example:
X-COM USA (general purpose)
Fighter Base Asia
Radar Australia

Sorry, me again 

I tried installing your mod. I use the newest GIT-Version and copied all file according to the ReadMe.

Ufo starts fine, i can use Geoscape the Base and I can shoot dowbn ufos, but as soon as a try to land at a crashsite, Ufo quits with "vector:: _M_range_check"
Anyone had this error before and knows what to do?

The file downloads as an EXE and Kaspersky reports a phishing address when executing it.
The Downloader then tries to install all sorts of Ad-Programms, "Optimizers" and so on.

Not cool...

It seem i am doing something wrong installing the mod.
I played the files in their folders and tried both rulesets, but no matter which one i add to the config, OX crashes on startup...

Is there something special to do because of the 2 differnt versions?

best regards
