The X-Com Files / Re: [submod]X-Com X-Files Resound Mod

As a technical assistant to the author of this mod and having alternative ways to contact her, I inform you that you can use any parts of this mod as you wish, because all sounds used are taken from other old games and other open sources.

Ha, nice i was afraid the mod author would just be not notified of change needed nor could allow someone to do it

XPiratez / Re: Transifex: Piratez translations

I'm just a translator, but I'll notify SupSuper.

EDIT: It's ready!

Hum, in good practice, translator shouldn't be able to review his work.

OXCE Suggestions OK / Re: [Suggestion] Scrolling indicator for long text in UFOpedia articles or other.

« Last post by Leosky on November 23, 2024, 12:37:20 am »

If There is a line count feature ....it looks like there's 19 lines of text in the page
My eyes are getting bad
Any line count over the maximum display height could just interject a text line that simply says [more] and bump subsequent text lines +1
Something like that
🤷

There is already a scrolling with wheel button, but it's not very obvious in some occasion. We just need to add a up / down indicator when you can scroll to make that better, with a modding property to indicate if it need to be on the right or left may be to allow better placement.

Not sure if this is really in the scope of this thread, but what are the important techs/capabilities I should have by the start of year 2? With how the tech tree is I'm never sure what I really need to be pursuing and whats side stuff.

Thats great, but yeah I can see you'd have to create everything from scratch.

Suggestions / Re: (board suggestion) Finished Y-Scripts

« Last post by Meridian on November 22, 2024, 11:46:04 pm »

There are boards for that called "Released mods" and "Work in progress".

If, at some point, there will be a lot of finished Y-scripts, I will create a separate board and move everything there.
Until then, no need to create a board without content.

Suggestions / (board suggestion) Finished Y-Scripts

« Last post by Barghum on November 22, 2024, 11:38:12 pm »

basically we already have a board for mods and Y-Script support

so why not a board for finished Y-Scripts so if any modder needs a finished script they can just take it

that's my suggestion

thanks for reading

OpenXcom Extended (OXCE) / Re: Converting OXCE to rapidyaml

« Last post by Delian on November 22, 2024, 11:08:34 pm »

Might avoid the custom library fix if you just manually defined _LIBCPP_ABI_NAMESPACE in one of our files in the android branch.
But yeah, sorry, I don't know much about building and testing android apps. If r22+ has a different structure, then how were they able to compile with r23b? Also, have you tried running their build on your phone?

OpenXcom Extended (OXCE) / Re: Converting OXCE to rapidyaml

I was able to use r19c, r20b and r21e.
(r22 and higher have some other structure and didn't work.)

All 3 versions I tried compiled without problems (and without any change in rapidyaml code).

However, none of them worked.
When I tried to run them on my phone (2-year old Samsung), all I got was a black screen


I'm pretty sure it's not a problem of those newer NDKs, or at least it is not caused only by them, because other people already compiled for example with r23b: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/openxcom-android/pull/3

...but until somebody gives me an idiot-proof guideline how to compile a working version with a newer SDK/NDK, I'm stuck with r18b, which is the only version that works for me.

"Custom library fix" is indeed annoying, but I'm willing to live with this one until there's a better solution.
