Open Feedback / I think there is an important typo in the original game data..
« on: January 07, 2014, 07:10:35 pm »
Hello everyone, first of all a BIG THANKS to the project coders for making me relive my happy memories of this excellent game.
While playing it again last night, I suddenly realised something:
Heavy Plasma has a weight of 8 units.
Comparing to the other "heavy" weapons, Heavy Laser weighs 18. Heavy Cannon weighs 18. Auto-cannon weighs 19.
It seems to me like the Heavy Plasma was also supposed to weigh 18, but a typo in data entry meant it ended up weighing only 8. So it became the "super weapon" we all know.
Now, thanks to OpenXcom, we can mod this data easily, I think. Maybe we should make it a toggle in the advanced options?
What do you think about this? Should it really be 18?
