[WIP][Beta][MegaMod]Equal Terms 2.0 - Beta 1.997

Tx.
The problem is evident when you play a terror mission.
Aliens are shooting a lot of ammos at the beginning.

But on a regular map (UFO Crash for example), the problem is less evident.

Edit: Some items disappear sometimes from the inventory screen when I equip my soldiers.  Workaround: I click on OK and restart the process. Tomorrow, I'll try to reproduce the problem.

I noticed there's a weird issue with the SAW and shotgun sitting next to each other, but I can't seem to reliably reproduce it, OR clear it up.

No release tonight, the craft weapon changes are more complex than I thought.

There's no hurry.  Take your time.

It also happens with the SSRL and shotgun. I am unsure it sepends on the BIGOBS thou.

Bug Report, 2 screenshoots included.

If I equip my soldier with:

Assault Rifle, or Assault Rifle Mag, or SAW Belted Ammo, THEN, I replace it back in stock, items around disappear.

Not tested yet with for example the laser or plasma weapons.

I'd advise checking palette transparency... I've worked with KingMob's resources a bit and I've ran into some palette problems. There is *obviously* something wrong with AR's clip palette, look how part of the ammo window to the right is obscured.

I've been redoing many of the assets with aseprite, but I need to reexamine what is happening. I cleaned up the AR and ammo, but the saw ammo is still acting up.

Will be redoing a number of the big obs tonight with aseprite.

I've done new sprites for SAW ammo for my own use, they're clean and maybe you'll like 'em

[pkrcel]

BTW, I found the shotgun shells listorder botched and had quite e time finding those right now 

EDIT: sorry , I meant that upon finding the sheels down the list I checked the rul file and found that the STR_SHOTGUN_SHELLS have 2 listorders, 2151 and 2903.

Deleting 2093 worked just fine.

About the previous bug (Inventory screen).

Improved ammos, rockets, grenades and explosives tested.

The "Enhanced Assault Rifle Mag" is affected.  The rest seems OK.

..

I begin to reseearch the Laser Cannon (Chemical), and if I survive against the Aliens, I'll tell you if everything is correct in the inventory.

Plasma ?  I'm far away now...    Not sure to be alive, wish me luck.

Ok, corrected a large number of issues. Had to completely scrap a number of big obs, despite importing and using the correct palette sheets.

See below for a screenshot of the fixed guns and ammo.

And the last issue I am seeing is the fact that the last line to the right repeats on the next one on the far left.

[pkrcel]

I think that is on purpose, if I am not mistaken I've always seen that row repeating.

BTW, I love the new sounds.... I think that only the sniper rifle now seems more of a cannon firing....

[Infini]

Just in case that it's not fixed...

All the laser weapons except the "Laser LMG" are affected (inventory bug).

Did't find an engineer yet, so didn't test with the plasma weapons.
Anyway, you're aware of the problem now.

Tx

It's from a recording of the very rifle in the game being fired in real life, with an echo effect on it.

Yeeesh, what a beta this is.

Which bug, the inventory blackout?

Exactly.
