« on: June 28, 2014, 11:44:03 am »
Features:
- This mod introduces two new armors: a flying jumpsuit and a flying personal armor with sprites based on the original flying armor.
- The research of flying armors is based on the floater autopsy.
- All armors are recoverable from the battlefield and can be repaired in the workshop.

Wow, this is an amazing project. I will install it straight away!

I noticed that all armour manufacture projects have required space 0. Is this intentional?

I also fixed/made the extraStrings section for you, since it contained some errors. I also added the GB and PL versions:

Code: [Select]
extraStrings:
  - type: en-US
    strings:
      STR_CORPSE_ARMOR: Damaged Personal Armor
      STR_REPAIR_PERSONAL_ARMOR: Personal Armor Repair
      STR_CORPSE_SUIT: Damaged Power Suit
      STR_REPAIR_POWER_SUIT: Power Suit Repair
      STR_CORPSE_FLYING_SUIT: Damaged Flying Suit
      STR_REPAIR_FLYING_SUIT: Flying Suit Repair
      STR_FLYING_SUIT_UFOPEDIA: A combination of the Power Suit and the Jump Armor, incorporating a Floater anti-gravity unit to allow full freedom of movement across the battlefield.

      STR_CIVM_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: Normal civilans are not protected by any armor.
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR: Jump Armor
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR_UC: JUMP ARMOR
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: Equipped with an antigravity device extracted from a dead Floater, this armor grants limited flying capabilities to the X-Com troops. Since the device's lifting power is limited, the armor is not as durable as the Personal Armor, but its enhanced mobility gives X-Com an unprecedented tactical advantage.
      STR_CORPSE_JUMP_ARMOR: Damaged Jump Armor
      STR_REPAIR_JUMP_ARMOR: Jump Armor Repair
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Anti-Grav Module
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR_UC: ANTI-GRAV MODULE
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: This small alien antigravity device was extracted from a dead Floater. It does not offer additional protection, but gives an X-Com agent the ability to fly. 
      STR_CORPSE_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Damaged Anti-Grav Module
      STR_REPAIR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Anti-Grav Module Repair
      CIVM_ARMOR: CIVILIAN

      STR_CORPSE_JUMP_ARMOR: Damaged Jump Armour
      STR_REPAIR_JUMP_ARMOR: Jump Armour Repair
      STR_FLYING_SUIT_UFOPEDIA: A combination of the Power Suit and the Jump Armour, incorporating a Floater anti-gravity unit to allow full freedom of movement across the battlefield.
      STR_X-COM_JUMPSUIT: The standard X-Com jumpsuit offers only basic protection, but guarantees a maximum of mobility. It is issued automatically to all X-Com operatives, who did not qualify for advanced armour.
      STR_CIVM_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: Normal civilans are not protected by any armour.
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR: Jump Armour
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR_UC: JUMP ARMOUR
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: Equipped with an anti-gravity device extracted from a dead Floater, this armour grants limited flying capabilities to the X-Com troops. Since the device's lifting power is limited, the armour is not as durable as the Personal Armour, but its enhanced mobility gives X-Com an unprecedented tactical advantage.
      STR_CORPSE_JUMP_ARMOR: Damaged Jump Armour
      STR_REPAIR_JUMP_ARMOR: Jump Armour Repair
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Anti-Grav Module
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR_UC: ANTI-GRAV MODULE
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: This small alien antigravity device was extracted from a dead Floater. It does not offer additional protection, but gives an X-Com agent the ability to fly. 
      STR_CORPSE_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Damaged Anti-Grav Module
      STR_REPAIR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Anti-Grav Module Repair
  - type: pl-PL
    strings:
      STR_CORPSE_JUMP_ARMOR: Uszkodzony pancerz desantowy
      STR_CORPSE_ARMOR: Uszkodzony pancerz osobisty
      STR_REPAIR_JUMP_ARMOR: Naprawa pancerza desantowego
      STR_REPAIR_PERSONAL_ARMOR: Naprawa pancerza osobistego
      STR_CORPSE_SUIT: Uszkodzony pancerz wspomagany
      STR_REPAIR_POWER_SUIT: Naprawa pancerza wspomaganego
      STR_CORPSE_FLYING_SUIT: Uszkodzony pancerz latający
      STR_REPAIR_FLYING_SUIT: Naprawa pancerza latającego
      STR_FLYING_SUIT_UFOPEDIA: Ten pancerz to kombinacja pancedrza wspomaganego z pancerzem desantowym, wykorzystująca jednostkę antygrawitacyjną lewitona do zapewnienia żołnierzowi pełnej mobilności w terenie.
      STR_X-COM_JUMPSUIT: Standardowy mundur X-Comu oferuje tylko podstawową ochronę, lecz zapewnia maksymalną mobilność. Jest on automatycznie przydzielany wszystkim agentom X-Comu, którzy nie mają dostępu do zaawansowanego pancerza.
      STR_CIVM_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: Zwykli cywile nie noszą żadnego pancerza.
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR: Pancerz desantowy
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR_UC: PANCERZ DESANTOWY
      STR_JUMP_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: Wyposażony w mały generator antygrawitacji wyekstrahowany z martwego lewitona, pancerz ten nadaje żołnierzowi X-Comu ograniczone zdolności lotu. Ponieważ moc urządzenia jest niezbyt duża, pancerz ten nie jest tak wytrzymały, jak pancerz osobisty, jednak jego zwiększone możliwości ruchu dają naszym agentom bezprecedensową przewagę.
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Moduł antygrawitacyjny
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR_UC: MODUŁ ANTYGRAWITACYJNY
      STR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR_UFOPEDIA: To małe urządzenie antygrawitacyjne zostało odzyskane z martwego lewitona. Nie oferuje żadnej dodatkowej ochrony, ale daje agentowi X-Comu zdolność lotu. 
      STR_CORPSE_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Uszkodzony moduł antygrawitacyjny
      STR_REPAIR_GRAVMODULE_ARMOR: Naprawa modułu antygrawitacyjnego

I also think that the anti-grav unit should at some point be available to build with no Floater corpse available - basically around the time that Flying Suit used to be available.

Manufacture space: 0 is somehow intentional. I set spaces for all projects to 0, because that makes management of engineering much easier and doesn't change the balancing much. I think I saw this in the "Piratez mod", where the manufacture part played really nicely.
Of course if anybody feels this is not appropriate, one may just increase the space to 5 or something.

Yes maybe later in the game there should be "anti-grav technology" related to "grav shield", "floater corpse" and "cyberdisc", which allows to produce the anti-grav units.

Another thing I noticed is this part:

Code: [Select]
  - type: STR_PSI_ARMOR
    size: 0.8
    costSell: 90000
    listOrder: 10495

I haven't found anything this entry would be related to. Is this some sort of a leftover?

Excellent mod, i really like the graphics and the idea, it adds to the game in a clever and clean way. Until now I was using SolariusScorch's "old" green Flying Suit, but I have to admit I replaced it now  ;D
