Hm, stun rods are still 100% accurate... Oh, but it has the same damage variance as other weapons doesn't it? So it might deal 0 stun damage? 'Cause I once tried to stun a panicky xcom soldier and it didn't do anything.

Can someone just confirm having 2 single handed weapons in both hands has a error and only the right hand weapon is shown. I thought maybe it was my Ruleset so i tried the updated Daichi blade mod and it has the same error.

Can anyone else replicate?

Do they hold it in the left hand if the right hand slot is empty?

Looks like that's how it is in your picture as well, when you compare the soldier you have selected (with 2 blades) and the guy just below him to the left who I would guess only has 1 blade and doesn't look like he is holding something invisible unlike the selected guy who does.

EDIT:

So there are 8 pictures in HANDOB (Hand Object I guess?) but it only shows for right hand, you would need another 8 then for left hand?

EDIT EDIT:

Can't test it myself right now but in CombatKnife\HANDOB try copying the files and renaming them, I would guess as

handob_136_0 - rename from handob_131_0
137 - 132
138 - 133
139 - 134
140 - 135
141 - 128
142 - 129
143 -130

that or rename it like handob_131_0 as handob_131_1

that or wait for Warboy/someone who knows to tell you the correct way :P

not as far as I know... for the left-hand weapons, the same sprites are used, just with different x/y offsets for the different facing directions so that the weapon appears in the left hand instead of the right.

I've seen aliens with weapon in the right hand + mind probe (or was it a grenade?) in the left hand just recently in the battlescape, so it should also work for xcom soldiers... I don't know what's wrong.

Hmm ok I did a bit more research and testing, and yeah your right, no need for new images (I think)

I dunno why it isn't applying the off-sets (or appearing), I changed the vanilla ruleset to make stun-rods one-handed and it shows them working fine when dual-wielded or in left hand (It looks shit but you can see it dual-wielding just about).

I tried changing combat knife rulset to put files into HANDOB2.PCK but I think that might be old and not in use anymore now offsets are used? Still no luck anyway.

Not sure why it's not showing up then.

I am have a few issues since this FIx...
1) with working Build from last week ( before left hand weapon fix), FOXC works but without left hand, if i copy this data over the game just crashes.
2) Every tme windows adds one of these "THUMBS.DB" files , OXC crashes on it.

My last working version/build was from the 4th

OMG! Such a nice weapon. I always think of the native American guy from Predator going at the alien with that big bowie knife thingy. :DD  My dear knife berserk newbie soldiers.
