OpenXcom TFTD Deep ones problem
« on: March 06, 2025, 10:15:56 pm »
I played on Openxcom TFTD version for android. The essence of the problem is this - if I take Deep Ones undet mind control, I can not cause damage to aliens. I can't attach a vido here

You should be able to attach a video after first (maybe second) post.

Also, Deep Ones do "Acid" damage (called "Electric Shock" damage in TFTD).
TFTD aliens are immune to this type of damage, more details here: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Damage_Modifiers_(TFTD)

Acid? I thought their damage (Deep one)was called electric shock or something like gauss damage

That's merely the text descriptor, basically they renamed Acid to Electric when making TFTD, but whatever the name, all alien units in TFTD are immune to it.

I wonder why. What is the plot explanation?

**Nothing in vanilla TFTD actually inflicts Electric Shock damage.
This quote from wiki is wrong as Deep Ones use it? or this is OXC thing?

Judging by this note in the Deep One page https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Deep_One
Quote
Note: Though the Ufopedia describes the Deep One as having an electrical energy discharge, the weapon is functionally a Gauss weapon and uses the Gauss damage modifiers.
It is very possible it's an OXC thing. That or there's more wrong things on the wiki.

ok, then OXC look like "fix" to match ufopedia description.
