Hello again.

I have a another question. I know FMP is intended for "vanilla" OXC, but I´m curious about what can be the behaviour of this mod pack if you use OXCE or OXCE+. Obviously, I have tested the game with those two, and looks like playable. For the very short tests I did with a already started savegame, the only thing I see weird was that a alien retaliation mission that was not scripted in original savegame spawn from I don´t know where.

Does anybody have tested this? What are your experiences?. Does the mod maintainers (Thanks Solarius) (and Ktulu) have any opinion about it?

i will do a test myself, but it is not a "pureblood" test (I like to add other mods and well, I cheat a little adding some more missions in the first month in the base region).

Thanks.

EDIT:

I have done some tests. The game works almost flawless. I got a map error only, just a message about recording something in log, the only thing I found was this:

Spoiler:

It appears to be something missing in the english translation.

The other details is that alien bases are not displaying. I have this in the savegame

Spoiler:

but the square of the base does not appears. I try to set discovered to false, and open the savegame in normal OXC, sending all the crafts again, checking it gets discovered, but the base does not appear. I will now try to put this same base in a new "vanilla OXC" to see whats happens.

Again, I know FMP is not intended to be played with OXCE or OXCE+.

EDIT2: Tried to correct some grammar.

EDIT2

Well, the string " deployment: STR_TERROR_MISSION" on the alien base section sounds a little weird, so I remove it by hand and then the base appears in all three (OXC, OXCE, OXCE+).

Some idea why this happens?.

There was a bug in the nightlies a while back, which was fixed in: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/commit/8e1e390558cfd976855473027234f0b36ee4c700
and this one here: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/commit/acd4eb30c7ff7013d93a7f55a71acc595e965e85

No clue how up to date OCXE or other forks are.

Thanks Hellrazor. I will test some vanilla and post in the forks threads. It does not appear to be a problem with FMP then.

Solarius Scorch · « **Reply #2493 on:** January 10, 2017, 11:07:38 am »

OXCE+ is backwards-compatible, so I'm sure it should work just fine with FMP. The mod doesn't contain any super new features that could probably be unsupported by OXCE+.

Regarding that bug: I don't think OXCE+ is buggy like this, someone would probably have noticed. Are you sure you got the right files? Or maybe it's a problem with a save?

Extended/Plus pulled in the nightly branch changes just a few months ago, so it is compatible. There hasn't been much new feature development since then in nightly, and any recent bugfixes were pulled in too.

Is there anyway to read the ufopedia entries from the mod's files? I just beat my first run, but I most definitely did not get all of the research topics and I'm curious to read what I missed.

Open your options.cfg, make sure that it says:

Code: [Select]

debug: true
Run the game, press Ctrl+ D. Now you're in debug mode and everything is open.

Hey, thanks! This is what I'm gonna do, but out of pure curiosity where are the entries stored in the files? I can find the images associated with them easily enough, but where does the actual text come from?

Ehm, actually I just got home and I'm trying this now and it doesn't seem to be working. The line in options.cfg definitely has,
debug: true
on it, but pressing Ctrl+D on both the main menu and in a new game just after messily setting up the first base doesn't seem to be doing anything. Tried both right and left Ctrl buttons.

No idea why it's not working for you, I use it all the time for modding... Maybe you've modified some other copy of the file? Can someone help?

Anyway, all text is stored in extraStrings_XX_FMP.rul, XX denoting the language that interests you.

Hi.

Sorry if I´m posting this here when I should post it anywhere.

Regarding the alien base behaviour that I see using FMP with OXCE+, I made some experiments. (I know, not intended to work this way, but backward compatible so...).

I set this experiments:

First Experiment:

Spoiler:

Information from savegames:

Spoiler:

I added this alien base missions to the savegames:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_ALIEN_BASE
    region: STR_EUROPE
    race: STR_SECTOID
    nextWave: 0
    nextUfoCounter: 0
    spawnCountdown: 10
    liveUfos: 0
    uniqueID: 3
    missionSiteZone: -1
  - type: STR_ALIEN_BASE
    region: STR_NORTH_AFRICA
    race: STR_FLOATER
    nextWave: 0
    nextUfoCounter: 0
    spawnCountdown: 10
    liveUfos: 0
    uniqueID: 4
    missionSiteZone: -1

I run a game month and this is the result:

OXC Savegame: Both bases show.
     deployment: STR_ALIEN_BASE_ASSAULT
OXCE Savegame: Both bases show.
     deployment: STR_ALIEN_BASE_ASSAULT
OXCE+ Savegane:
     deployment: STR_ALIEN_BASE_ASSAULT

With this, I confirmed that the builds are working Ok with vanilla.

https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://https://

Then, I tried again, with FMP,

Spoiler:

Added the same bases mission in the savegames.
Run one game month.

Results:

OXC Savegame: Both bases show.
     deployment: STR_ALIEN_BASE_ASSAULT
OXCE Savegame: No base showing
     deployment: STR_TERROR_MISSION
OXCE+ Savegane: No base showing
     deployment: STR_TERROR_MISSION

So, the error appears when FMP is added and used in OXCE or OXCE+.

I read alienMissions_FMP.rul, and see this line

Code: [Select]

    spawnZone: 4 #Mission zone for alien bases

So, I modified the added alien base mission, and set a new experiment with missionSiteZone changed from -1 to 4.

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_ALIEN_BASE
    region: STR_EUROPE
    race: STR_SECTOID
    nextWave: 0
    nextUfoCounter: 0
    spawnCountdown: 10
    liveUfos: 0
    uniqueID: 3
    missionSiteZone: 4
  - type: STR_ALIEN_BASE
    region: STR_NORTH_AFRICA
    race: STR_FLOATER
    nextWave: 0
    nextUfoCounter: 0
    spawnCountdown: 10
    liveUfos: 0
    uniqueID: 4
    missionSiteZone: 4

run again with OXCE and OXCE+. Same issue, deployment is STR_TERROR_MISSION. The same happens with normal gameplay, not adding base missions by hand.

Both commits are already included in OXCE and OXCE+.

You can btw. very easily check on github, how big the gap is.
For OXCE+ github says: "This branch is 971 commits ahead, 27 commits behind SupSuper:master."

Again, I know FMP is not intended to be played with OXCE or OXCE+.

OXCE+ is backwards-compatible with vanilla... the only breaking change is the new lighting engine from OXCE... but there should be an option soon to switch to original lighting engine.

hellrazor · « **Reply #2501 on:** January 11, 2017, 07:42:43 pm »

FMP alienMissions is lacking siteType definitions.
Example:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_ALIEN_BASE
    points: 50
    objective: 2 #Built a alien base
    siteType: STR_ALIEN_BASE_ASSAULT
    spawnZone: 4 #Mission zone for alien bases

and

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_ALIEN_INFILTRATION
    points: 150 #Pact score only awarded on month end
    objective: 1
    siteType: STR_ALIEN_BASE_ASSAULT
    spawnZone: 4 #Mission zone for alien bases

This is required since https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/commit/8e1e390558cfd976855473027234f0b36ee4c700 which was commited in July 2016....
Keep your Ruleset updated!

EDIT: Attached the corrected ruleset on this post.

wolfreal · « **Reply #2502 on:** January 11, 2017, 08:13:14 pm »

Thanks Hellrazor (Taking care of writing it the correct way

)

I added the siteType: STR_ALIEN_BASE_ASSAULT to the corresponded missions and it works perfectly.

I tried to look at the github of FMP to push the correction, but it says the version is 1.9.1.

Easy for you to say, when I haven't used the vanilla nightly for a year. I did my best to follow the changes and I succeeded in 95% of cases, but since I don't have any real contact with it, it was doomed to fail. That's why I have to rely on external help.

There is a Github, but it wasn't me who posted it there (I only gave permission) and I certainly don't maintain it... If someone wants to take care of it, it would be nice.

Anyway, I'll post a fix, too.

EDIT: Wait, why is siteType: STR_ALIEN_BASE_ASSAULT under STR_ALIEN_INFILTRATION?

Nevermind, glad i remembered this issue.
It needs to be also under STR_ALIEN_INFILTRATION, or alien bases from infiltrations will not correctly be generated.

EDIT: I can only recommend github for modding, it makes things easier. and you can keep track of your thoughts and stuff.
