Thank you very much for replying. There are a lot of feature requests made here on this forum. Some are a lot harder to implement than others.

I understood a feature request can only be granted depending on your time and the number of other modders voting a yes for it.

I have no expectation that this will ever be granted. It is good enough to know and my only purpose in seeking for a reply, is to understand that it can be done.

For some feature request are not possible due to coding complexity.  In that case, it is futile to request it anyway. However, I have to ask the question because I am not a programmer. I have to understand that it is impossible to make it happen. So I know that it is no point in pushing for something that it is too hard and impossible.

OXCE Suggestions OK / [Suggestion] Monthly hidden Random Encounters scattered over the globe.

« on: October 09, 2023, 12:23:22 pm »

Last feature I want to suggest, please reply if possible.

I had always wanted to allow random encounters for craft while on patrol or intercepting a ufo.

These Encounters are full mission sites, randomly generated each month.

I wonder what are the best (hacked) solution to enable them?

Solutions:
********
1) Hidden (landed) UFOs, modded with large trigger radius, scattered over the globe. Interception
screen is ignored when Craft encounter such ufo and it will go straight into the Battlescape mission.

2) Invisible Alien bases/Terror sites modded with large trigger radius, if the craft fly pass one of these base, it will trigger a mission alert and it will go straight into the Battlescape mission.


Please advise if or which feature is easy to do, reject or allow. Thank you

Hi, I have a feature request, if this can be implemented one day.

I believe Finnik was also interested in this feature to also be allowed too.

This feature is to separate out mapBlocks for crash and landing ufos.

The reason for the raising for this feature is to allow human (or aliens) ufos or planes to have multiple different crash maps to select from. To allow more random crash configurations.

Instead of the Engine core explosion to create a crash map.

Please advise if this feature is easy to do, reject or allow. Thank you

Example code.

    battlescapeTerrainData:
      name: SKYSPOTTER
      mapDataSets:
        - BLANKS
        - PLANE
        - LIFTER
      mapBlocks: #Normal landing Map
        - name: FALCONPLANEENEMY
          width: 10
          length: 10   
      mapBlocksCrash: #Crash Maps
        - name: FALCONPLANEENEMYCRASH1
          width: 10
          length: 10   
        - name: FALCONPLANEENEMYCRASH2
          width: 10
          length: 10   
        - name: FALCONPLANEENEMYCRASH3
          width: 10
          length: 10   
        - name: FALCONPLANEENEMYCRASH4
          width: 10
          length: 10   
        - name: FALCONPLANEENEMYCRASH5
          width: 10
          length: 10   
        - name: FALCONPLANEENEMYCRASH6
          width: 10
          length: 10

If I may add my input, if you have a lot of soldiers in a base with different troop transports. If you want to transfer a craft to another base and want know which of the soldiers are to be transferred. This kind of sort is useful.

Similar request made by some one awhile back https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,11110.msg134926.html#msg134926

So much possibilities... thanks.

Can this feature support spawning primed item? Eg Proximity grenades or mines that are primed.

XCom can have undersea bases ya know. Since all their bases are underground so it is irrelevant if a base is on a water tile
