No way, these need to be a mod. The base OpenXCOM should be a vanilla to the original XCOM (minus bugs) as possible.

Well, for me, the bronze pins are working correctly; but the <area> Campaign medals have only triggered for North America, yet I've done missions just about everywhere.

I just took out an alien base and was surprised not to get medals for it. That's a pretty huge accomplishment, I think a medal is in order.

Doesn't smoke do the same thing? Is this 35 damage one time, or leaving a cloud over a few rounds, or what?

Takes a different approach than the changes I made in Modest Rebalance.

I think my only concern is the huge increase in damage (280) to the Avalanche. I suspect this makes medium sized UFOs a whole lot easier.

You can define more than three weapon sets? The game doesn't crash/fail out?

Some of my soldiers aren't getting any Campaign Ribbons (STR_MEDAL_CAMPAIGN_RIBBON_NAME) on regions after reaching the 1st level (5 missions on a region) but other soldiers on the same game are getting them without any problems.

Could this be a bug?

I have something similar, where my guys will ONLY get North American Campaign ribbons. They never seem to get them for anywhere else.

Yeah, size fixed it.

Add 'size: 0.8' to each of the ARMOR_CORPSE entries.

Updated file attached.

Why, exactly, is the frequency of use in month defined in such a strange way?

Wouldn't the following be easier to read and use?

- [x, y, z]   where x=first set, y=second set, z=third set (by percentages)

eg.

- [10, 40, 50]

(with a ruleset rejection of the numbers do not sum to 100%)

additionally, there would be no compatible spawn nodes for them. maps support 7 ranks, no more.
yes i know we have 8 races listed, but the 7th and 8th races are both terrorists, and both use spawn node type 7s.

Ah, that would do it. Thanks.

I guess I could create additional alien deployments and set of some of the ranks in those to use Rocket Launchers....

Work In Progress / Rocket Launcher aliens a no-go
« on: July 06, 2014, 12:08:33 pm »
During a recent terror mission I had the terrifying thought of a rank of alien that used a rocket launcher. I mean, hey, they want to kill EVERYTHING, right? Accept no substitute (before the Blaster Bomb)!

So I wrote the following to make a test "Heavy Gunner" sectoid rank, along with a change to force sectoids on most missions for debug reasons - so I could get one of these guys sooner. The ruleset "works" in that it does not drop any errors when enabling it in OpenXCOM. However, OpenXCOM crashes as soon as I land at a UFO which has my new aliens.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Work In Progress / alienItemLevels help
« on: July 06, 2014, 09:53:38 am »
Can someone explain how the alienItemLevels work? I can't quite figure it out.

For example, how does:

 - [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2]

Map to this:

itemSets:
          -
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL_CLIP
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
          -
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
          -
            - STR_HEAVY_PLASMA
            - STR_HEAVY_PLASMA_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
