[COMPILATION] Final Mod Pack (FMP)

[Solarius Scorch]

If you're going to release a new version it might be worthwhile to go over research as well.

Latest nightlies introduced a new modding value called "destroyItem"
see change recoverItems and ufopaedia reference on research .

A ruleset example can be found at official dev commits

Oh dear.
All right, I'll check...

EDIT: The destroyItem flag is straightforward, but what about the corpses? Should I change anything if I want to keep it the way it was? What can be done with this, can you rule if the corpse is destroyed or not using the flag? I can't see any concrete information about this and truth be told I don't really have time for tests right now.

Corpses do not need the flag. At least it was not added towards xcom1 or xcom2 ruleset with warboys commit.

If i understand the code correctly ... the "destroyItem" is needed for each item (weapon, elerium,alloys, corpses and live aliens) that must be destroyed after research.
This option will NOT give you a corpse when researching a live alien (it can only incinerate the live alien when you're done learning from them). If you need a corpse after research, advice the players to activate the "retainCorpses" (replacement of "recoverItems" option).

Please note that using the option "retainCorpses" while not using the rule "destroyItem" on a live alien  will give a free corpse together with the live alien (free money when sell live aliens is also on).

OK, thanks! That's all I wanted.

I'll publish a new version when I'm done with map stuff I'm currently doing.

EDIT: It's ready! download from: https://www.mediafire.com/download/4cbj4y4drdryrrx/Final_Mod_Pack_1.9.3.zip

(I'm pretty sure I screwed up something again.)

Hey Solarius, why not get yourself a forum subsection for FMP and X-COM files? Its a big mod and this topic is too small for it now.

Changelog?

Sorry, I kinda forgot. It's in the readme, but I'll put it here:

• Implemented Hellrazor's darkened (non-transparent) ship maps.
• Small update of rulesets to match the newest nightly.

It doesn't allow me to download the file, saying I've exceeded my data limit. Can you please use MediaFire, Google, Dropbox or something, you know... that is known to work?
Or just tell me what the bug is, if it's possible.

Michal actually offered this already, but I declined since I'm not developing the FMP much. Could have been a mistake. I can ask him about this, but I'm not sure what we could do with a subforum beside having this thread...

[Slaughter]

 Your data limit? Weird. Try tomorrow. I will take a look at it tomorrow.

Solarius, it works fine in this other computer in my university. Did you download to browser or did you click the megasynch button?
Also the bug is UFOs through which one can see.

About a sub-forum, I can think of lots of threads:

- Download links
- FMP modmods
- Bug/crash reports
- Future plans
- Ideas and suggestions in general
- General feedback and playstyle discussion, etc.

EDIT: BTW, gunporn observation: Am I the only one who thinks the description of the Sniper Rifle is nonsensical? "12,4mm" bullet? That's anti-materiel rifle size bullet, and the Sniper Rifle looks like it fires a normal caliber - you know, 5,56m, 7,62mm or even the same 6,5mm bullet the X-COM Rifle uses. With a bullet that large, the damage should be double the normal rifle. The description clearly doesn't make sense.

Interestingly, the description fits... the Tac Sniper Rifle, which is bigger, deals a lot of damage (65!), can fire explosive rounds and looks a lot like a Anti-Materiel Rifle to me.

To browser, I think.
Can you maybe just zip it and attach it to the post here?

Can you remember its type?

OK, I'll ask Michal again.

Yeah, I never really noticed... Well, this mod is big. I'll do something about it.

Can't attach files through tapatalk, that's why I sent you mega links.

OK, thanks! Should be fixed now.

Small error i noticed while looking at the logs:

Code: [Select]

[WARN] STR_MUTON_OBLITERATOR not found in en-US
Probably due to alienRaces_FMP.rul @ 62:

Code: [Select]

  - id: STR_MUTON_OBLITERATOR should that not be replaced by?

Code: [Select]

  - id: STR_OBLITERATOR

[Solarius Scorch]

I think both may be needed. Thanks, I'll check.

EDIT:
Everything seems to be in order in my version:

Code: [Select]

      STR_MUTON_OBLITERATOR: "Muton"
Which is correct. It's a Muton variant with Obliterators as terror units, not a new race.

Thanks for the clarification.

In that case the string definition is still missing in the 0.9.3 download extraStrings_FMp file.
(Or was your code fragment an attempt to lure me into pasting that information into my local installation )

That's really strange, since this line exists in my version and it was added several releases ago.

Whatever the case, it should be fixed in the next release. (If it's not, then it must be some other reason... But I have no idea what.)
