Help / Re: How customizable is the digTunnel mapscript command?

« on: June 11, 2018, 05:28:00 pm »

1/ I don't know... but probably not

2/ game would crash

3/ no

4/ there is a possibility to fine-control what is on the edges and what is inside... but it's a lot of boring repetitive work... you most likely don't want to do it that way... but if you do, you can use the "rects" in the mapscript to define, for each block, the allowed positions

the game starts chugging on the bigger maps on my full desktop. Its a potatoe, but damn does it chug.

The engine is not built for such big (especially tall) maps and for such long visibility distances.
Modders are aware of it, but willingly decided to use it in spite of suboptimal user experience.

1/ vanilla maps have height = 4, piratez maps can go up to height = 30... which is roughly linearly (8-times) slower
2/ vanilla maps have visibility limit = 20, piratez has limit = 40... which is much worse than linearly slower... I don't have exact numbers, but it can bring any CPU to its knees
3/ also tons of new features in OXCE+ (e.g. indicators, night vision, LOS checks, etc.) are slowing down rendering quite significantly... again I don't have exact numbers, but I would say it's about 50-100% slower in worst cases

All in all a tall map in piratez can easily render and animate 50x slower than a normal vanilla map.

PS: also, if you have FPS counter enabled, don't believe what you see... even if the game barely manages 5 fps, it will still show a lot more

[Edit] I've disabled all Mods. But I have the same problem!

Turning mods off doesn't heal the damage they may have already done (to your save)... like in this case.

Try searching for this in your save and replace "7" with something lower, e.g. 6.

Code: [Select]

  - race: STR_SECTOID
    nextUfoCounter: 0
    spawnCountdown: 180
    type: STR_ALIEN_TERROR
    nextWave: 3
    liveUfos: 0
    uniqueID: 122
    missionSiteZone: 7 #<----------------- replace 7 with 6 or lower
    region: STR_CENTRAL_ASIA

I have never seen or heard of OpenXcom causing a blue screen... it's also VERY unlikely.

Most likely an issue with one of the mods.

If you post a save just before the crash, I may be able to help; or at least explain what's wrong.

This is why UFOExtender Accuracy cheats and sets aimed shot range to 200.

UFOExtender doesn't cheat... aimed shot range is 200 also without it... and can be modded if you want.

Hello there! Doin'n a  ride on 0,99I2 and sadly got a crash during a "save a siste" mission type, th mao is the one for the red lanten villa. Attached here is an extract of openxcom.log file, right where errors happen to apper and of course  savefile

Edit: sorry, i meant i was on the .I2 branch. And game crashed after some time again, this tie no .log errors, but a saed game during a base defence, the moment when crashed

First of all, both saves have version 0.99j1 not 0.99i2.

Also, what do I have to do to reproduce the crash? I loaded both saves, played a few turns and nothing happened...

Are Synthsuits supposed to look like attached?

@Solarius: This might be my mistake... I replaced only the spritesheet by the one from XCF during gif=>png migration... maybe some ruleset changes are needed too?

Hmmm... the region specific thing might not work as intended. The base with the retaliation mission was in china, the UFO I shot down was in north afrika. This was in Piratez mod. I loaded several times but shooting the UFO in north afrika would not trigger a retaliation. Save attached.

The chance to spawn in your case is 24%... after about 7 attempts, it generated a retaliation mission for me in North America (=home region of Airspeeder-1).

No, but something similar.

If a retaliation mission would spawn in a region, which already has an active retaliation mission... the second one is not spawned.
