[TFTD] [Expansion] TWoTS+ Release (v.2.49)

[Nord]

Thank you. Last question. How to start controlling aliens? There are already psi fighters who can only lead to the failure of implants. What to do to take control of the aliens?

Research MC-controller. Look at tech tree.

Thank you.

I have ran into this problem before, so apolagies for repeating, but it just keeps happening and I cant get round it.
If I shoot down a sea horror very large sub the game crashes the moment my assault sub arrives and I hit the begin mission button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
See attached save game.

You should not be able to sunk down monsters. Maybe something with OXCE version? Normally these 'vessels' will fight to the end, until destroyed.
You can just ignore this crashsite.

Think I have got it sorted this time. It was an OXCE, I was not using the same version as the one that is inluded with the twots download.

Hi,

I have a question on the carcharadons. At one point they were a common enemy, but later in the game they dont appear any more. I have gone months without encountering any of them at all in attacks or in subs. I missed out on capturing or killing an octopus earlier in the game and now I think i need one to carry on research and I know they are associated with the carcharadons. Can I expect carcharadons / octopuses to re-appear in the game?

Yes, it is a pure random.

Congrats, nice mob, though very difficult at the beginning... anyway, care to add the hydrogen rifle mod as of here?

[Varana]

  Enjoyed playing this big mod once again. (2.48) 

A balancing suggestion:
The two armors with camouflageAtDay are a bit overprotecting. It is very simple to sit on the roof of the ship and shoot down all approaching aliens with defensive fire. I think the camouflageAtDay should not be 5 or 6 but -2 or -4.

And I think there is a bug in soldiers: The psi skill caps look messed up. The mc gifted soldier is weaker than the cyborg soldier.

[Nord]

Thanks, Varana.
Yes, you are absolutely right in both cases. Will fix.

[Dr.Crowley]

Jesus Christ, are you still working on this? Nice to see anyway.

[Nord]

Fixed. Version 2.49 is out.
Changelog:
 - nothing new, just minor bugfixing;
 - updated to OXCE 7.0.

Running off of OXCE git I hit the following errors:

Code: [Select]

Error for 'OFFICER_ARMOR': First Battle corpse item need have corpse item type
Error for 'SOLDIER_ARMOR': First Battle corpse item need have corpse item type
Error for 'STR_MCB_ARMOR_UC': First Battle corpse item need have corpse item type
Error for 'TURTLE_ARMOR': First Battle corpse item need have corpse item type
Reviewing OXCE code I found: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/commit/8784c31e75c6f7a4ec9e9941ce599c97f7dd6574#diff-a017ec30c469cca218f1d05a885fc9fdd4cf145ea946e6e3879d46dfc58ba3bf

I added

Code: [Select]

battleType: 11 to the relevant entries in /mods/TWoTS/Ruleset/Items.rul

Attached my changes. I'm not familiar with OXCE modding so my changes are totally naive and may have unintended side effects.

A lot of crashes with 7.0 or later now. Can't even start single mission in New battle mode. The log file contains strings complains about missing maps like this:

Downgraded my OXCE to 6.8.4 (not latest in v6 brach tree but can't find latest 6.9 commit number yet with git so far, will try rebuild to 6.9 asap to test there, but think what mod require serious recheck due to changes in OXCE 7.0 and later)
