The bottom color line (that "green-ish/blue-ish" grey) of the Battlescape palette is usable for battlescape stuff, right ?

« on: July 10, 2014, 11:16:05 pm »From my perspective, Apoc had all the right features (real collapsible buildings, choice between real time and turn based, factions system, cool story, it was just implemented wrong ( and the aliens real sucked). If you head down this path and rewrite the engine, you have my support as a Modder to help make this project what it should of been, the BEST xcom game ever!And my axe! I too believe that Apocalypse had all the right things to be the superior x-com game.

Ok.
The throwing sound is 39
The "hit" anim.. I ended up adapting it myself from this https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=File:HITPCK.png
I've added it in case someone else needs it. It's a "SMOKE.PCK" kind of anim, it needs to be used like this:
=================================
extraSprites:
- type: SMOKE.PCK
height: 80
width: 160
subX: 32
subY: 40
files:
66: Resources/apoc/SMOKE/fire_blue.gif
76: Resources/apoc/SMOKE/hit_plasma_blue.gif
86: Resources/apoc/SMOKE/hit_plasma_purple.gif
96: Resources/apoc/SMOKE/hit_zing.gif
106: Resources/apoc/SMOKE/hit_zing_double.gif
=================================
(ofc the directory and the numbers "96" and "106", may be different for you).

Work In Progress / Re: melee vs. tiles (robin's stupid questions, episode #255)

I also noticed that if I use the drill/axe weapons like this:
they hit at the bottom of the ramp (while aiming just at the top of it), even though they have "maxRange: 0" (which works correctly, saying "Out of Range" if I try to aim further than 1 tile).
Is it normal? I haven't tested stairs. This is with the latest build.

The armor has some details; the problem is that the gradient of the red is kind of "narrow", so the results of using it is that it gives a "flatter" coloration compared to the rest of the colors.
Sadly: that red is the only one available; the only other "reddish" color in the palette, switches to orange-yellow in its lighter tones.

damageType: 7This seems ok.
More questions:
- What is the value for the sound of throwing something?
Ruleset Reference links to this ( https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=SOUND#SAMPLE2.CAT) list but the correspondence of the numbers doesn't seem the same.
- What value I have to use this https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=HIT.PCK as

« on: July 08, 2014, 11:11:20 am »Megapol armour is looking good, but the Marsec armour looks weird (the original design had more gold and silver components, esp. in the arms) and the Disruptor armour might look better with a black or dark grey underlay in place of the red; you could never see the red details in Apoc anyway.This isn't a strict conversion (which can't even be done, as of now), but is more of a tribute. It wants to make you remember Apoc, while still being partly its own thing.
CoS armour looks more or less spot on though, at least from what I remember of using their temples full of goons as target practice for my troopers. The leaders should have fancy capes or something.
About the armor, believe me: it's better for the armors to be as monochromatic as possible. Differently-colored details on them are a bad thing. The Disruptor armor will undergo some changes (too much details on the torso; helm too big; but the red will probably stay, I like it).

The description for XeD editor says it can export/import graphics:
https://www.strategycore.co.uk/files/xed/
(I can't even run it, so I don't know)
Edit:
Also found this.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pckview/
It opens cleanly only the agents portraits. For the rest: errors and psy-palette.
