Work In Progress / Re: [The Final Mod Pack] Misc part

The misc type group contain too much argoments

In my opinion It is better to divide it in more different part.

The grops could be

 -new mission (terrain, terror, ufo)
- Cult, Men in Black,
- new race raptoid and Waspite, Cybermite (Cover aliens)

Sorry I am registered from few day

I read in

https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=2158.0

about a collection of extra vessels.

It could be a good start point for the new proposals

PS:Thunder with only one weapon slot, in my opinion is too weak.

Work In Progress / Re: Hybrid game

Thank you very much for the explanation.

In an other post I saw that TFTD has four palette table ... instead the once of UFO.

Is it very difficult allow a different palette for a specific map  ?

The engine when load a map "TerrorOnBoat.MAP" , check the optional presence of TerrorOnBoat_Palettes.DAT
if exists it use that instead of standard for the tactical part of game.

I suppose that the  inventory screen must use standard palette for the same reasons

Selling zombie corpses actually makes sense. I'll see if it can be enabled.

I agree

Research zombi corpse and zombi live could be an ufopedia  improvement to do something other after

such as stun gas ammo for granate lancer as example

If the merge with TFDT is too much difficult,

in my opinion, at list the import of surface missions of TFTD is a must have....

I understand that it is not simple ...
but OpenXcom 0.9 run better than original UFO D. in MS.DOS,
therefore I hope this big improvemnt


PS:
I apologize for the next if it is a silly thing

In some post I read that there are problems with different palette but I do not understand what it means

The palette is a table of colors I think
If the two game engines have a different unique palette,
I ipotize that
before importing the TFTD maps,
it is necessary to convert  them with a tool that use one external
lookup color table  to remap al colors.

excuse me again for mine ignorance

Hum, I'm not sure that 2 more weapons is good for game balance, I like attack large UFO's with 2 or 3 interceptors (and lost 1 or 2 in dogfight :p). But it's interesting if you using this extra slots for specials improvements (antijamming, tank fuel, electronic protection ...), like UFO:AI (next build 2.5 is very interesting).

XCom Apoc have samething too
https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Vehicle_Equipment_(Apocalypse)

To balance the game, in Apoc  there is an attribute size for weapons slot
Cannon could be the smallest, instead  Fusion Ball Launcher the huge.

Skyranger could have a cannon but not a missile system ...

For OpenXcom we have a lot of new mods with new aircraft such as Sentinel, Raven, Thunderbird, etc.
New weapons slot could be a way to diversificate them

With size attribute could be possible have weapons type with different charge number:
Sentinel could mount lancer with double charge than Thunderbird as example
