It is possible, but AFAIK it was a conscious decision, because unconscious people don't scream.This is true, but in real life you'd be able to tell if you put a bullet in their head haha.
About infirmary time, in some future I will add option for calculating it based on other factors than health.This is a cool idea. Anything that increases the RPG element enhances the game in my opinion.
This will allow some break time because of stress or reduce recovery time for unit with lot of health.
Another benefice of this would be that in even longer run it will be able support surgery rooms that reduce time to recover.
Realistically you wouldn't have an endless supply of expert soldiers you could cycle through hiring/firing on a whim.
Something slightly different: you can have crashed/landed UFO missions on city terrains.+1 I like this idea.
4) this was possible in the original, but not in openxcom, you're supposed to kill the aliens, remember?Ha, funnily enough I actually wanted to revive them to kill them. Leaving behind unconscious Chrysalids is like a ticking time bomb and I'm watching my back the rest of the mission. I read that in OXCE (maybe the latest nightly as well?) you can shoot unconscious bodies and kill them. So with that update there won't be any need to revive anyway.
7) you may be misinterpreting something, aliens, once spotted, stay "visible" until the end of the turn.
) Now that I'm done, I'm curious how my experience compares with others and what I might expect in my next one.Almost everything in OXCE is optional as in "If you don't use it in a mod, it's not going to affect the game". Take psi-amps, they can deal direct damage, but unless you mod a psi-amp into the game to deal damage, it won't.Thanks, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Being able to shoot unconscious aliens/soldiers sounds like an awesome added feature, but I wasn't keen on the psi-amp dealing damage since I was trying to make it less powerful.
There are a few gameplay things that are there no matter what though. Like shooting at tiles with an unconscious soldier being able to kill them (and conversely, explosions needing to kill a soldier to destroy them, instead of just outright destroying the corpse). Yankes should have a list somewhere of what the "hardwired" changes are.
Here's the list of all hardwired changes in OXCE, which I think all are improvements.Thank you for making that list, I agree what I understand there sounds pretty great. I have a few questions though.Code: [Select]Explosions don't remove unconscious unit if they can't kill them first.
Craft weapon equip screen is a bit rearranged.
Psi-Amp use 3d range, not 2d.
Fixed ammo are added after weapons in armor and unit (armor items are before unit items).
Corpses, items and Chryssalids are not spawned when unit is killed by weapons with overkill.
Stunned units can be hited by bullets and fire.
Big groups of aliens (20+) get less morale losses from casualties.
While loading and unloading weapons you must pay the cost of moving the item to hand.
You can unprime granade for half of prime TUs cost.
Throwing now requires a healthy arm to do it (if the item is two-handed, then it requires both).
Rewriten handling of alien psi attacks to handle new features of Psi-Amp.
Throwing and hitting using two-handed weapons have the same penalty as with shooting.
Have you considered making a smaller sized rank insignia and putting that next to the name? Like Perpetual's idea, but tiny pixel art picture instead of name.I think it's important rank still be there and preferably as an icon rather than text. Meridian I liked the way you did it with the example you linked to having the rank icon to the right. I think it would work just as well if not better in the corner of the portrait, but it could be a fine line between being small enough not to look crowded, but big enough that it is easily distinguishable.
Or even take that tiny rank and put it in the top left corner of the portrait.
2. which avatar to use?100% you had to go with no armor. That's the whole point, to get some extra personality and armor kills that already. Currently the most frustrating thing for me is all my soldiers are in flying suits and it takes me clicking 10 of them before I find the one I'm looking for.
a/ avatar with the corresponding armor?
b/ or take fixed armor (e.g. NONE)?
But if you'd like to see the avatar on the battlescape GUI only, I can do that as optional feature in OXCE+.Sorry, I'm pretty new here, what exactly is OXCE Plus? I was using the OXC 1.0 version and I've only just started playing around with OXCE (2.9 version) and figuring out what that is all about . So what is the +, how is it different than the normal extended and how do you implement it? Is it an only for X-PirateZ thing?
