Hi,

I have problem with installation.

I get error:

Code: [Select]
terminating with uncaught exception of type YAML::BadFile: yaml-cpp: error at line 0, column 0: bad file
...right after running game

I've installed fresh OpenXCom (latest milestone build: June 13, 2014), copied data files from fresh install of Steam X-Com: Ufo Defense/Enemy Unknown, unpacked Piratez into data (previously renaming original SoldierName folder), added files to Ruleset (but error is the same without them). About half second after game starts (black dos window) game crashes with above message. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Natt.

Crash:
No idea, sorry. And my mod doesn't change anything in the existing files, so if you're getting this error message even with my rulesets turned off, I'm probably not guilty :) Nightly builds have their odds and ends, try using 1.0, or wait for the next build.

Hand Crossbow:
A nice idea, but it can't replace the bow - simply because it'd be very strange if soldier's Strength value was added to CROSSBOW damage of all things :) And with the harpoon gun already in place, there's very little niche for it... Maybe a weaker, unlimited-ammo weapon... We'll see.

Tommygun:
True, there are many legendary firearms, and it always saddens me that harsh selection is required. The grease gun is both plain enough to be a good starting weapon and it works well as a weapon for Nazis and other scum like that. However, I'm not ruling the tommygun out (for the same reasons you've stated)... maybe as some higher-tier weapon.
Another problem with both ideas is somebody has to make graphics for them, and it requires time and effort :)

0.74 coming soon with several improvements.

I'm using 1.0 right now, but regarding my problem you're obviously right. During Piratez unpacking I've replaced folders instead of merging them (so I've lost original data from ./Maps and such).

Now I have quite different problem running Piratez, but current one is tricky SIGSEGV (game works fine without rulesets). Eh... :)

I've found what's causing the Segmentation Fault. It looks like OpenXCom has some issues with loading so many images (Piratez.rul extraSprites section). It works fine if I strip extraStripes section to around 1000 lines.

Not sure it's issue with OpenXCom in general or just Mac version of it. Very annoying.

Update: GNU debugger FTW! It's problem with SDL_image on Mac, and it's considered as feature not an issue. It loads PNG images as 32bit regardless of actual palette. It causes problem with memory addressing because OpenXCom expects 8bit palette but gets much more. :)

Thankfully, I've never even seen a Mac with my own eyes, much less actually used it :P

0.74 is up in a few minutes...

Ugh, to make it Linux-compatible, I need to find those few files that do not match their declared names, uppercase wise... any idea how to do it quickly?

I don't know much about Linux, but OpenXCom tells you specifically which file is missing on launch. I can't believe this feature not working...
