But you should check the goddamn version number after I gave it to you with specific instructions!

Anyway, does it work now?

[niculinux]

OK finally the game stats, with version 1.3.3 !!! hurrà! In the end please update the changelog to the mod page at openxcommod.com because the latest changelog entry is:

1.3.2: Should work properly on Linux now.

[Solarius Scorch]

Glad it works now! Description was fixed too.

This is a great mod
1) because of 4 added UFOS
2) because of new alien weapons
3) because of having defined this 4th level of technology

In order to make your mod even more compliant/reusable/mergeable, I make you a new suggestion : for vanilla Ufos, as I can see you did not change related values, you can avoid specifying "lowQty:", "highQty:", "dQty:" and "percentageOutsideUfo:"

Example :

BEFORE

Spoiler:

alienDeployments:
  - type: STR_SMALL_SCOUT
    data:
      - alienRank: 5
        lowQty: 1
        highQty: 1
        dQty: 0
        percentageOutsideUfo: 50
        itemSets:
          -
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL_CLIP
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
          -
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
          -
            - STR_PLASMA_SNIPER_RIFLE
            - STR_PLASMA_SNIPER_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_PLASMA_SNIPER_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
          -
            - STR_HEAVY_PLASMA
            - STR_HEAVY_PLASMA_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE

AFTER

Spoiler:

  - type: STR_SMALL_SCOUT

      - alienRank: 5
        itemSets:

            - STR_PLASMA_SNIPER_RIFLE
            - STR_PLASMA_SNIPER_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_PLASMA_SNIPER_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE

Hmm, I somehow forgot to do it.

THanks for the waking kick. Will be fixed next version.

You forgot it and you did right, as finally I think it does not work. Was sure it worked well in my previous tests, but now I have finished this part of my mod, I am unable to make it work even in training mode 

After have set these values back again in place, this solves the issue

So forget my proposition, sorry

[Falko]

you can only delete unchanged properties if they are in the first level
in this example

Code: [Select]

alienDeployments:
  - type: STR_SMALL_SCOUT
    data:
      - alienRank: 5
        lowQty: 1
        highQty: 1
        dQty: 0
        percentageOutsideUfo: 50
        itemSets:
          -
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL_CLIP
            - STR_PLASMA_PISTOL_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
            - STR_NEWSTUFF
          -
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_PLASMA_RIFLE_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
            - STR_NEWSTUFF
          -
            - STR_HEAVY_PLASMA
            - STR_HEAVY_PLASMA_CLIP
            - STR_MIND_PROBE
            - STR_NEWSTUFF
    width: 40
    length: 40
    height: 4you can but should not delete data (not a good idea because STR_NEWSTUFF is there)
this:

Code: [Select]

    width: 40
    length: 40
    height: 4you can delete because they are in the correct "level" and unchanged to original

[Aldorn]

Exactly

I had some weird effects when left this out, so I put it back in. Can't remember what it was though.

Yes, this does not work, sorry

PS : I understand why my previous tests where OK despite of this pending issue
This is due to mod loading sequence : even if mods are sorted alphabetically in options screen, this does not mean they will be loaded alphabetically
A quick check in Options.cfg and I saw it could depend if you activate/de-activate/re-activate some mods.
And also, a second mod loaded after (even if displayed before in options screen) was correcting this part.
When I decided to merge all mods in a unique big one, this issue suddenly appeared

Yes, exactly that.
Of course theoretically we can open the config and adjust stuff, but as a modder I can't expect the end user to do the same.

Hey, I downloaded this and I love it, but the lab ship's walls on the first and third levels can be walked through on one side. Can this be fixed?

I know about this bug and I thought I fixed it, but maybe there are still places where it's wrong. (The Lab Ship was my first map ever, and it shows. :/ )

If you could post a picture showing the glitchy tiles, it would be really helpful. But first, please confirm you have the latest version.

EDIT:

I slightly decreased Plasma Blaster's power, so now the Power Suit gives you some slim chance of survival. Download 1.3.6 for this. (Louis, you convinced me after so many months, lol.)
