[SUGGESTION]Question about funding.

Why countries with zero alien activity rise x-com funding at the end of month? Is it more logical, that they will not change their payments, because we do not do anything?

Help / Empty hand HWP?
« on: January 07, 2023, 07:52:10 pm »
Is it possible to somehow create a HWP (lets say battle robot) with both hands empty? Normally HWP item will be allways placed in right hand, specialUseEmptyHand does'nt work.
Thanks.

OXCE Suggestions DONE / [DONE][Suggestion] Manufacture rating points.
« on: December 30, 2022, 04:28:06 pm »
As title says, it would be useful to have possibility to create manufacturing project (using rare components maybe), that produce rating directly. Like something social, etc.
Thanks.

Idea is to make downed unit, who continues to burn, to produce light as normal fire until it dies.

Help / Self-priming grenade
« on: March 24, 2022, 11:04:44 am »
Is it possible somehow to create a self-priming grenade? So that when item is created, it is allready primed?

To the point: i want to create corpse, that will explode later, on the next turn after death. "specab" can not be delayed, and corpse can not be of type: 4, so i create another item, that drops down when unit is killed, and then make real corpse invisible (with size 0x0). But if i use fuseType: -3 it will not explode, in any other cases it must be primed manually.
When we create items with terrain, there is "fuseTimers:". But what about items in pockets?
Thanks.

Now it is like on screenshot. Text is ok, but name can not be seen.
Is it possible to draw an article name atop of unit inventory image?
Thanks.

Help / Mod content: powers of light and dark.
« on: February 01, 2022, 10:40:11 am »
Hello, fellow X-Com commanders.
During my modding i ran into a question. I am creating fantasy mod, containing powers of light (blessings, angels, so on) and powers of dsrkness (necromancy, etc). So i want to know your opinion, which way should these powers interact. First way - no interaction, maybe facilities of dark can not be built on bases where temples allready exist, and so on. Second way - similar to Dioxine's codexes, when you must chose side.
I must confess that results will have little effect on my opinion, but maybe some thoughts will be convincing.
Thanks.

Help / Invisible region
« on: January 30, 2022, 05:16:59 pm »
I'm using special region to spawn special mission. All works fine, mission spawns in a random point inside needed area.
But this custom region shows in "Alien activity graph", and that bothers me and can misguide player.
So, can i somehow "hide" region? Or maybe i should use another way to spawn mission?

Choose a patron country on which the gameplay will depend.
Learn magic technologies and throw away your guns.
Evolve your operatives from ordinary humans to demigods ... or monsters.

Idea was to forbid psi-nullers to train in psi-labs. It is useful for not ot train tank ai in a gym too, and other similar cases.
Maybe it is possible to add one or two properties into soldier definition?

26
Please, make different startingConditions work for second-stage missions.
Example: first stage is open ground, second is inside caves or building, so no 2x2 units can pass. Or, in my case, second stage have EM-interferences, so no electronic devices possible.
Now i must disable tanks for whole mission, but they can be useful in first stage.
Thanks.

How about commendation, given for certain alienDeployment? Like "these veterans was in a battle of Cydonia! Oh, oh..." :-)

When one transforms a unit, it is possible to keep new unit wearing old armor. But what if new unit can not use such armor type, but player does not want to lose old suit?
I think it is needed to divide
Code: [Select]
keepSoldierArmorinto two:
Code: [Select]
keepSoldierArmorand perhaps
Code: [Select]
storeSoldierArmor, which will remove armor suit from unit and place it into base inventory.
Thanks.

OXCE Support Y-scripts / [Solved] Replacing weapon sprite depending of ammo.
« on: September 23, 2021, 12:08:26 pm »
I think i saw somewhere a mod, that changes sprites for loaded and empty guns in battlescape. But now i can not find nor it, nor these possibilities in ruleset or scripts.
Am i hallucinating?
