A new update is ready.

UNEXCOM: Bureau 11 is alive!

What's new in this update?

Code: [Select]

May-2022 v0.2 The Work of a Nation
Changes made:
*Added all the Story missions
*Added Act 1 Side missions
- Cattle Mutilation
- Crop Circles
- Counter-Intelligence
*Added Act 2 Side missions
- Major Cattle Mutilation
- Abduction
- Counter-Intelligence, Europe
*Major rebalance on weapons and mission conditions, by Brother^2
*Modified and expanded tech tree, by Brother^2 & efrenespartano
*Added new faction: GLADIO
*Added new weapons:
- Welrod
- DeLise Paratrooper Carbine
- DeLise Sniper Carbine
*Added 30 Geoscape events, written by efrenespartano, Brother^2 and Kael Schwabauer
*Added new craft
- A-12 Oxcart, sprites by Filip-H
*Added Faceless Shapeshifter unit, sprites by efrenespartano & Gifty, rulesets by efrenespartano, Brother^2 & Filip-H
*New UI and GlobeMarkers, by efrenespartano
Finally, the campaign is fully playable from beginning to end! To spice up things a bit, there are several side missions you can play to get more bits of the lore of the game (and profits!). Or you could ignore them, if you want, as they are completely optional. 30 Geoscape events will immerse you into the early 60s geopolitical tensions here and there.

OXCE Support / Re: [HELP] vector::_M_range_check after alien spots all the player units at once

« on: May 09, 2022, 04:36:33 am »

terrain IDT_BARN_RED_2
tile at position [35,18,0]
part 3 (i.e. object on the tile)
loftemps array = {6, 6, 6, 130, 130, 130, 130, 130, 6, 6, 6, 130}

value 130 is invalid... UFO has only 112 loftemps (from 0 to 111)

Thanks a lot for your help, Meridian! I didn't noticed the thing until you pointed out it.

OXCE Support / [Solved] vector::_M_range_check after alien spots all the player units at once

« on: May 08, 2022, 12:53:13 am »

Howdy!

I'm asking here because my mod uses OXCE, so I think it would be the right place.

One of my players is experiencing a vector::_M_range_check issue on the latest UNEXCOM update. Link here to the GitHub repo. The crash happens on the Alien turn. Attaching screenshots as support. As soon as the Sectoid looks in the direction of the player's craft, it has clear view of all the units. And it crashes. I made tests by removing several xcom units from the LOS of the Sectoid and the CTD was prevented.

I suppose the game cannot handle the alien unit having more than ten targets at the same time in this particular case? I made changes on the map routes and on the armor of the Sectoid to see if that solves the issue, but I cannot find a way to solve it. I suspect maybe one tile on the IDT_RED_FARM may be the reason of the CTD, but haven't found anything so far.

Made tests with OXCE v7.5.3 and v7.4.4, the issue was recurrent on both.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello, folks! We released a new update for both CMP Vanilla and Extended recently!

Among the features, two new terrains:

* Corn Farm, made by Luke83, Solarius Scorch and me. Features a the classic red barn & buildings, with corn fields and grain silos!
* Arctic Outpost, made by Solarius Scorch, Dioxine and Brain_322. A seemly lonely military tower lost in the snow, has a secret beneath!

You can download them from Mod.io or the GitHub Repositories for both versions.

Hey, just want to report a bug in this pack! The Shipping Lines terror mission (STR_TERROR_MISSION_SHIPPING_LINES) is missing a corresponding entry in the alienDeployments.rul file, causing the game to crash if it randomly generates that mission type.

Thanks for the report, the issue was solved some time ago.

OXCE Suggestions DONE / [DONE][SUGGESTION] articleText on interfaces.rul

« on: April 13, 2022, 10:05:50 pm »

Howdy!

Recently, i was looking in interfaces.rul for the option to change the color of the UFOPedia buttons and text. I was able to find articleItem, articleCraftWeapon and articleArmor, however it seems there are no option to modify the elements of the UFOPedia entries with type_id: 7 and type_id: 8

So, my suggestion is the following:

Code: [Select]

interfaces:
  - type: articleText
    elements:
      - id: button
        color: 15    # orange
      - id: text
        color: 239    # grey
        color2: 244   # light blue
Hope this is easy to do! Unless its defined elsewhere and im just really bad at searching things

Personally i like having replayability on mods, where you go with one option on a campaign, then you go with the next option on the later playthrough.

So, option 2 is for me!
