OXCE Suggestions DONE / Re: Active camouflage and predator vision ;-)
« on: February 02, 2017, 10:29:34 pm »
Hi.

Sorry, but surely I´m extremely dumb, and I don´t think I´m understanding well all the invisibility, camouflage, and predator vision stuff (neither the thermal part), even after reading the thread.

First, some clarification (Better say, please correct me if this is totally wrong.)

Invisibility is positive values in camoAtX (Where X is day or night)
Camouflage is  negative values in camoAtX
antiCamouflageAtDay is the ability to negate camouflage (But not invisibility?)

Let´s have some examples to see if I´m getting this well. (I´m excluding the night-day stuff.)

A.

I have a soldier with the next armor.
vision: 15

And an enemy with this armor.
vision: 20
camo: -3

Then. My soldier could see the enemy in 15-3 = 12 titles. The enemy can see me in 20 titles.

B.
Soldier.
Vision: 12
Camo: -8

Enemy:
Vision: 20
camo: -3

Soldier see enemy in 12-3 = 9 titles
Enemy see soldier in 20 - 8 = 12 titles.

If vision - camo <= 1 them seeStuff is =1

Them, the biggest the negative number (Camo), the better.

C.
Soldier
Vision 20
camo = +8

Enemy:
Vision: 20
camo = +5

Them
Soldier can see enemy at 5 titles
Enemy can see soldier at 8 titles.

D.
Soldier
Vision 20
camo = +8
antiCamo = 20

Enemy:
Vision: 20
camo = +5
antiCamo = 10

Them
Soldier can see enemy at 5 titles
Enemy can see soldier at 8 titles.

The result is the same as the other option? In this case, A lower number is a better one?

Please correct my wrong understanding.

On another relationated aspect. How do you determine visibility in smoke?. How the heatVision works? I´m asking too much question in the incorrect thread?.

Thanks!

Have you hired a head researcher? They won't really listen to you about alien tech until you have an expert. Guessing you have a head engineer? Without someone like that, they don't care about all your babbling about alien gizmos. And better have an expert in alien language to prove it's real too.

And you need all the criminals networks researched, so, try to capture people.

Hello  EditorRUS

Can I use your script for some experiments I want to do? Maybe I reach / do nothing, but I want to know what license your script have and if I can torn apart / reuse / embed in another code / etc / your codes, giving you all the credit you deserve obviously.

Thanks in advance.

Edit 1: Sorry for bumping an old thread. I should write a DM to EditorRUS. But I thought about that too late.

Ajnunezr, I'll use a different pic for Elias Seppä - adding background is just way too much work to make it look good.

You´re the boss here. I´m just trying to add my grain of sand :)

Thanks a million, I'll add these great guys to the Pedia.

Ivan, what exactly is Sparta Engineering? Because this guy would work great with M.A.G.M.A.!

Cmdr. Stryker, so... his affiliation is classified? What isn't classified here?! Oh wait... Perhaps the ones sending agents to X-Com are even more classified than the Men in Black, or aliens.

In the end, the ones who finance X-com finance MiB too, true?.

Thanks I'll try to fit him in. I'll just need to find a picture and hopefully tweak it a little to find a reason why X-Com would be interested in him... Oh wait, I think I have it already.

I'll skip Jackal, since I know about him, my mum knows about him, people living on Kamchatka probably know him... And so X-Com probably knows about him too. :P

But I'll take Ms. Foster, thanks.

Great, 2.5 of four :). Well, more fictional people like that. I think technical people are underrepresented. Just a finance guy, Dc Able, and now this biologist...

Oh.... another one xD. A "serious parody" about the dog whisper

Maybe a enemy had some weapon capable of taking it out?

Or I have to learn to reserve some anti mobile weapons for those cases :)

I will add two. One is an adaptation of a famous Venezuelan terrorist, and the other a fictional biologist. I´m trying to adapt ideas to the mod atmosphere.

It is believe that the jackal have contact information about important figures in the Black Lotus, Red Dawn, and several criminal syndicates around the world. French authorities are reluctant of giving us permission to interrogate him.

I attached some photos that maybe can be useful. I´m not totally happy with the Parvati one, but is based in an Indian botanist, so is the most close stuff I found.

XPiratez / Some questions about surrendering.
« on: January 20, 2017, 03:41:57 am »
What units can surrender? It is a function of Bravery? Do you need to knock or injure someway a unit for this unit to surrender? After an epic battle, I cleared a pogrom map of all enemies, except for an armored car. Well, long history short, It was a staltemate. I can´t destroy the car. I was hopping for the car to surrender, but that never happens.
