Troubleshooting / Re: Terror from the Deep not saving on Raspberry Pi

check the log file, it may yield some details, i'm guessing it's something "wrong" with the save folder for TFTD (we use seperate ones for each game)

sorry, i had assumed you'd used colour offset 240-244 for the button and it was swapping the palette to the greyer colours at offsets 235-239, what's actually going on is you've used colours that are fine, but neglected to alter the information in interfaces.rul
while this file may seem impenetrable, rest assured, it is.
all you need to do is make a ruleset that changes buttonReserveNone from 67 to 131* to reflect the section of the palette you're using.
what this does is define the "mid" point of your colour range, around which colours will be swapped (130 will be transposed with 132, 129 with 133, and so on)
*this may not be the exact value you're looking for, but it should be in the right ballpark.

here's what the hitboxes look like to the engine: cylinders.
the yellow 2x2 one is an xcom tank, and the purple one is a floater.
the green one in the middle is a street light, geometry gets slightly more detailed 3d representation.
i can't speak for mods, but the aliens in xcom are solid masses.

1: no. energy consumption is a factor of time unit consumption. you CAN however enable 'alternate movement methods' to allow sprinting, which burns less time units and more energy to move.
2: yes. mapscripts can easily FillArea with an array of mapblocks rather than simply using dirt.

« on: December 21, 2017, 08:32:38 pm »
seems you're right, that should be 0.05 for a 5% drop-off after normalization. but that being said it was an arbitrary number to begin with that i intended to tune to give me a decent spread. i got a decent spread to begin with, and never changed it.

« on: December 21, 2017, 06:15:31 am »However, the amount of accuracy that each pellet loses is large, making it nearly an aimed shot + a 0% autoshot of the extra pellets.
not quite, it's a linear dropoff of 5% per pellet applied sequentially, so one pellet is at 100% accuracy, one is 95%, one is 90% and so on until it bottoms out.
i should probably add some random element to the dropoff or ruleset it or both.
