when you changed it to a blast radius weapon you probably forgot to adjust the hitSprite

my advice: grab another mod that does something similar and use it as a starting point. you'll already have files in the correct palette and format from the outset.

Most of us have only a rudimentary understanding of the language And constantly need to ask to clarify something.

i actually went out of my way to add a lot of comments and use variable names that made contextual sense in the interests of clarity and full disclosure in the AI Module, so that if a casual observer WERE to look into it, they shouldn't have a great deal of difficulty understanding it, at least on a very basic level. Meridian and Yankes can probably attest to this - there's nothing "hidden" in the code.

all that said though, i'm always willing to answer questions. (as long as they're not about reapers)

This sounds like a good avenue for the less moral, and more results based leaders of the world to fight invasion. Reuse the victims as shock troops.

So, it turns out I've lost a number of my original files. I can release the oculat.png under creative commons since it is wholly my own work (sharknade is edited from the displacer launcher). Is that all I need to do to make sure it's a resource freely available to future modders?

pretty sure that counts, yeah.

it isn't.
internally we use it for vision, but the resistance values never come into play.

there's no denial of information, it was a matter of brevity and staying on topic. i mean, in a thread named "Sound of hidden movement" you wouldn't expect a full write up of the complete alien behavioural routines.

Help / Re: Invalid zone number help

ah, i guess for reference i should point out that "mission tried to find a waypoint in zone 6" starts counting from 0 and "this region only has 6 zone types defined." starts counting from 1.
it's trying to spawn stuff in the seventh zone out of a set of six.
i've tried to clarify it a little in today's commit.

i know you're using oxce+ but i've added some more detailed crash info in the upstream nightly that should spit out the information you need to fix this.
