[Solved] sightRange near facilities

[Ethereal]

With the latest update, the Base Facilities parameters stopped working: sightRange, sightChance. Version 7.9.8.0. The closest version in which the parameters work is 7.7.3.

Vexing, I am also interested in using those facilities: options and I don't think reverting to V7.7.3 is an option for what I'm working on.

sightRange
Range at which the facility can detect alien bases in nautical miles.

sightChance
Chance (0-100%) of this facility detecting an alien base that enters its sight range. More info: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,8119.0.html

I have made a small test and it works fine for me.

Do you have mod/save where I can reproduce the issue?

Yes.
The archive includes the latest version of TFTU, and 2 save files. 1 when the alien base has already been created within the detection radius, the second when the ship creating the base should soon appear.

I could not test, because the save crashes after a few game hours.

But I have made a new save without all UFOs and without all alien missions, to prevent the crash. It is attached as 2.sav.

The alien base was found without problems.
I attach a video (base found.mp4) where it is found already after 1 day.

The sightChance on the Mind Shield is set to 30%, so in average it should be found after 3 days, but of course it can take longer based on RNG.

It turns out that "sightChance" from two base structures is not summed up? There's 2 "Mind Shield" at the base.

In general, I understood. "sightChance" for base structures is different, but I thought it was like ships - 2-3 hours of patrol and the object was found. It's just that detection was faster in earlier versions. I will be more careful. Thank you for the clarification.

the check is done once per day, at midnight

each facility counts... they don't sum up, each is separate check

two mind shields with 30% have a theoretical combined chance of 51% that at least one of them detects

Please add this information to the Ruleset Reference. I didn’t even find this information in the topic, although Google translator could have failed me.
