have fun! 

[Solarius Scorch]

I'm just in the process of putting together a tank compilation for the Final Mod Pack Project, perhaps I'll draw some inspiration from this.

[civilian]

Feel free to use whatever you need! 

Oh and remember: arcing shots combined with autoshots can cause the game to hang (at least it did with the Piratez Mod's flamethrower, not sure if the newest git fixed this)

[Dioxine]

It had been fixed a few weeks ago... at least it seems so. If this bug persists, I'll let the Elder Gods know

[civilian]

Great, then I can reenable it for some other weapons, too. Thanks for the update, Dioxine!

      STR_HOVERTANK_ACID_UFOPEDIA: Mise au point par nos meilleurs scientifiques, cette technologie quelque peu sordide s'avère extrêmement dévastatrice, bien que proposant une portée très limitée.

      STR_HOVERTANK_SCOUT_UFOPEDIA: L'objet principal de cet aérochar réside dans la reconnaissance du terrain.  Constitué d'un blindage des plus résistants, aux dépends d'un armement très limité, son atout principal reste son importante mobilité.

[Sectoid_Soldier]

I've always wanted to have the Tank-Cannon fire explosives, instead of AP. An auto-shot feature might be better, or even a machine gun type weapon. But now, with Open XCOM, one can use mods, and make what one pleases.

I like this game.

[Human Ktulu]

Aérochar

Nice, but I use the term of "Blindé Anti-G" for the Get Localisation project.

[Aldorn]

You are right

I saw both expressions in global french translation and did not really know which one to use

Feel free to add corrections you want (just copy/paste/correct it)

We work as a team if you agree 

[civilian]

Merci beaucoup pour la texte, Aldorn! 

[Aldorn]

Merci beaucoup pour le texte, Aldorn! 

You're welcome

And congratulations for your job, and for your French !

[Aldorn]

Regarding your Tank/Grenade Launcher (and certainly for others) that I tested, I had to make a small correction to fix issue in ufopaedia (i.e. initially displaying "HWP Grenades" for both Weapon and Ammunition)

Solution :

1) Under ufopaedia section, replace

Code: [Select]

    weapon: STR_HWP_GRENADES
with

Code: [Select]

    weapon: STR_HWP_GRENADE_LAUNCHER

2) Define a new reference under extraStrings as below

Code: [Select]

      STR_HWP_GRENADE_LAUNCHER: Grenade Launcher


Anyway, following your inspiration, I created a new unit : Tank/MachineGun

[Warboy1982]

don't forget to [TAG] your mods

[Aldorn]

A stupid question of a newbie, just for my information : what do you mean by "to [TAG] your mod" ? Add it on OpenXcom Mod Site ?

[Warboy1982]

i mean all threads in the completed mod section should have tags in square brackets, like [WEAPON] or [HWP] to indicate their content for ease of searching in future, as per my post here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=1700.0
