What OXC version? Check the log and try running a debug build if you can.

I remember something about aliens picking up only the weapons that they were equipped with on mission start, not any weapon from the battlefield.

Have you started the campaign using the original X-Com and imported a savedgame? Or this is a 100% OXC campaign?

How about targeting the center of the largest visible area but having a hit % chance equal to the % of visible target area.

That means that being in cover is way better than being in the open.




I hope I worded this right

Yes, you need the original UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense to play.

You can buy it on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/7760/

Pretty soon (hopefully soon) you will be able to play X-COM: Terror from the deep too - provided you have the original data files.

Builds & Ports / Re: Latest nightly builds for Ubuntu?

« on: February 09, 2015, 11:09:50 am »

I build it from the source. On Ubuntu it's easy to install all the required dependencies from the official repos: sudo apt-get install ... .

After you manage to build it once (after installing all the required packages), the next time is a simple matter of making a git pull and running make.

If your favourite alcohol brand is X-Com, you're in the right room.

Just try same arrow with shorter or no tail.

It was proposed at some time, but PR was rejected.

Work In Progress / Re: Chryssalid zombie attack elucidation

« on: January 05, 2015, 10:59:41 am »

I have a question now.  Since reaction fire with melee weapons is possible in OpenXcom, what happens when a soldier gets hit by a chryssalid's reaction attack?  Does he get zombified immediately?

Now that's a good question.

Warboy?
