Troubleshooting / Re: OpenXcom 1.0 on Linux: Can play only ADLIB sound files.

« on: April 23, 2015, 06:16:39 pm »

I'm currently on Ubuntu 14.04 and I confirm this Cydonia's Fall .ogg soundtrack works. I unpacked it to SOUND subfolder, renamed all filenames to uppercase, and selected ogg in the 'Audio' options screen, although i must say i compiled Openxcom sources myself. I have package libvorbis-dev installed, although i think libvorbis0a could be enough.

Work In Progress / Re: Valkyria: Triton in OpenXcom

« on: December 30, 2014, 06:07:18 pm »

Placement problems may come from recent map scripting - i would advise to try running the game twithout additional mods.

There have been succesfull tries to use Triton hull in batlescape https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,1312.msg12223.html#msg12223.
There have been succesfull tries to use minimap sprites https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,1312.msg12540.html#msg12540 (this ship may be Leviathan, don't remember exactly).
These changes aren't in master branch, but are possible to achieve in the future.

For sounds i would advise to wait for TFTD ruleset release.

Open Feedback / Re: Playable Dev Build of TFTD?

« on: December 13, 2014, 09:22:13 pm »

It's not downloadable yet, because it's not ready. I believe TFTD support will be finished around mid 2015. Please, be patient.

I wonder how it can handle the night transitions

@Yankes made special blit function. It's not exactly as in original UFO, but it does the job. Not tested on underwater maps, tho.

If all goes well, there will be no need to recolour anything. Tests have already proven that https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=1312.msg12665#msg12665. It just requires time.

Translations / Re: Simplified+Traditional Chinese Translation

I can't help you with translating, but there was a discussion about glyphic fons in this thread (especially this reply may be interesting). In theory, if you properly add glyphs to files Language/FontSmall.png and Language/FontBig.png, it should work.

Translations / Re: Polish translation

« on: October 31, 2014, 06:04:05 pm »

1. Czy jest jakakolwiek przyczyna, dla której w imionach i nazwiskach żołnierzy nie można stosować polskich znaków, a jedynie znaki alfabetu anglosaskiego?

There was a discussion https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=690.0, but nothing was decided.

I've tried polonized soldier names from PolishMostFreq.nam. They look very well, especially Brzęczyszczykiewicz .

Być może jest też tak, że gra każdy plik językowy wybiera z równym prawdopodobieństwem - wówczas jeśli po prostu przegramy wszystkie 4 wersje, Polacy pojawiać się będą 4 razy częściej (nie wiem, czy to tak działa... może ktoś wie?).

First nationality is selected randomly (equal probability for every nation file - 4 files with one language = 4 times probability of encountering that language), then name is selected from name pool according to female-to-male ratio https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Savegame/Soldier.cpp. I wouldn't work further on polish names. You've made plenty already.

Translations / Re: The new system can be destructive for the translation!

« on: September 11, 2014, 01:34:09 pm »

I was afraid of something like that .

So here's another idea: let's wait for all strings to be ready in Getlocalization (I mean also strings from TFTD). Then @Dioxine and @grzegorj can take a look at them, discuss issues and come up with final translation. @SupSuper can overwrite polish translation on Getlocalization with this improved version (in case it's not possible, it can be downloadable from other place). How about that?

One way to fix this is:
https://www.getlocalization.com/library/project-management/setting-acceptance-level-translations/
But I don't know if it available for free project like our.

This would be the best way to resolve issues with translations. Let's hope @SupSuper heard us 

As for other things:

So my current stance of the issue is:
Leader - oficer
Commander - generał

I would vote for it and use "komandor" for TFTD aliens (no doubt they will come for us  sooner or later )

Like modern Landscapes etc..?

Currently globe is created from polygons https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=WORLD.DAT with specific texture aplied to it https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=TEXTURE.DAT. It's currently not possible to use single-image globe representation.

Suggestions / Re: Damage Type Options

« on: July 08, 2014, 08:31:30 am »

I wrote some code allowing to define new damage types in ruleset https://github.com/AndO3131/OpenXcom/tree/WeaponTypes. I haven't tested it much, but it only allows for new damage types and more damage modifiers on armors. @Chico's ideas

-Bleeding: Can the weapon, regardless of damage type, cause fatal wounds?
-Stunning: Does 10% of the damage caused by the weapon turn into Stun damage?
-Smoke: Does the weapon spawns a smoke that does the weapon's damage type each turn?
-Explosion: Does the weapon spawns an explosion that does the weapon's damage type?
-Incendiary: Can the weapon, regardless of damage type, spawn fires in any tile?
-Burning: Can the weapon spawn fires in burnable tiles/objects/units only?

would require more coding. Maybe someday...

Programming / Re: New Feature: Infinite base sizes, POLL

@Fenyő, this feature is very interesting from coding point of view (i like the word infinite ) and i understand you've spent many hours working it out and appreciate this effort.
Don't be so hard to @Warboy1982, as the devs have to point the direction a project is heading. New features generally distract some attention from the goal, so it may be beneficial to not include them in master branch. On the other hand:

Open denotes public source code, meaning anyone is free to make their own version and change anything they don't like/agree with, it does not mean "do whatever".

I don't fully agree with this statement. You may "do whatever" in your forked branch, however devs don't have to merge it to master. I would call it freedom . People may have different opinions on the same subject, but it does NOT mean one of them has to go. Don't take it this far @Fenyő. Your code may be used by other developers in the future.
