Released Mods / Re: [WEAPON/ARMOR] SPACE MARINES

Just drifting through to check up on your mod. Read through the post, and was wondering something. Can you leave the SM as the true infantry but alter their price? So instead of 40k to recruit them, you need...500k? For a SM recruit that might be cheap.

Then you can follow Arthanor's idea of using 'cheap' 40k HWP PDF/IG to supplement them. IG seems a better idea to me, but work is foreign to me.

This way you can start the game with a squad of 'scouts', but call on the support of the local PDF/IG to help support you in your mission.

Changing the price is trivial, but unfortunately the game doesn't support multiple types of troops. So either you get all Space Marines or no Space Marines.

new openxcom extended seems to give yaml cpp error bad file 0 0

Is this the same as the one bundled with the mod?

Because you're supposed to use the one bundled with the mod.

That's bordering on active contempt for their paying audience.

It's also very clear that tasoths weren't intended as mind control units and that they added that in really late.

Apparently, there was no mind control planned at all. The aliens would summon elemental-like projections instead.

Yo, I've tried with FMP an sadly it crashes very soon on Geoscape. The same happens if I start a new game. I think it may have something to do with interception.

Haven't tried vanilla yet.

Zombie at Strategycore.co.uk has gotten his hands on some TFTD test disks and has posted about his findings. He has also uploaded the "TFTD Draft Publishing Plan" which is the internal document used by the Microprose team.

...so, the lobstermen were supposed to be invisible? Holy cow.

Space-babes are no replacement for a well thought out easy to use interface that's thoughtfully connected to complex mechanics, but a diverse variety of alien-honeys for all will go a long way to make me happy.

So true!

I always felt that not allowing torpedo launchers on land was artificial difficulty, since Gollup was unaware of the difficulty bug and subsequently went in the wrong direction on how to make TFTD harder. Given the ridiculous notion that NOBODY IN X-COM APPARENTLY REMEMBERS WHAT A ROCKET-LAUNCHER IS, are there plans to make the torpedo-launcher usable on land through a mod? I'm willing to concede that perhaps a Coelacanth launcher can't modify its payload on such short notice, but there's no reason why, being told we're going above-water for the next op, that we can't use a rocket launcher. I'm not asking for sprite replacements for missions, just that we can modify torpedo launchers to be used on land.

I don't know the structure of TFTD ruleset yet, but I'm fairly sure it'd be trivial to do, like changing one flag.

I have no idea what is wrong with Ky3bMu4's save, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

Nice. But can we also have some pictures, as required by the modding subforum rules? As well as proper tagging?

I know those rules are technically for the Completed Mods subforum, not Modding/Experiments, but I think it should apply it here, or at least it would be good practice.

TftD is already out dude Kind of in beta-test mode.

We'll likely see OpenXCom 2.0 once they are happy with the state of TftD.

You forgot the most important question: will it work with Linux?

But he should post the missions here too, so we can have a look and diagnose if it might be that If he just deletes them, we will never know and then someone else might run into the same bug!

Ky3bMu4 attached the save, so I hope I will post it when I know the cause.
