Tomorrow will be a complete redo of the HWP, since I somehow have neglected them.  Adding light rocket tanks and cannon tank will be a 7.62x51mm machinegun CROWs tank.  Also will blend in my own version of the 'Improved Tanks' mod that is seen elsewhere.

A 1 square minelayer tank that chucks proxy mines

A 1 square scout tank that can pop smoke

A 1 square scout tank that can self destruct for 75 dmg

A 1 square rifle tank that can autoshot and pop smoke

A 1 square "little dog" that acts like an equipment bearer that can throw ammo, grenades or other gear and has LOTS of time units so I can have it follow my dudes around so they don't get overburdened.

Infini, I reworked a few of the UFOpedias:

It will be done soon.
Jogging, a bit of workout, shower, breakfast... and I'll be on it.

 

Edit: I use "WinMerge" to compare the files.  So I know exactly what is new to translate.

Last question: The new build is compatible with my previous save ?

Not a huge fan of the metal storm concept, but I am going to try to put together some of these.

Thanks for the suggestion.

No hurry, of course. I am on break at work working on my spreadsheets for the hwp rework.

I have winmerge. I should use it.

These should be compat with your saves. I haven't been changing file version numbers to keep compat, only the zip file name changes and supporting docs.

I hope you'll consider the dual weapon tank like in Dioxine mod.

I myself am using an HE low power autocannon tank, I usually use it for demolition work...the standard AP tank could be useful against other "tanks" but frankly speaking it's useless because it's not "anti-infrantry".

On the other hand I'd lke to be able to mix and match tank turrets with tank and hovertank bodies to my liking, using manufacture.

There was a thread about it floating somewhere around the forums, and I think it's a neat idea.

I suggest to hold the translation for now.  You already have a lot of work.
 

I'm still working on it.
I clarify things, minor corrections again for a better look, etc... (while I'm playing, important)

What do you think?  We wait for 2.0 to add the latest french translation ?
Do you want to copy and paste for each Beta build?
You decide.

I wasn't aware of tanks being able to field two weapons. Interesting. This would allow me to come up with combo tanks and buff sectopods and cyberdisks.

A little wary of making 1 square non-standard hwp just due to the fact I'd have to mess with los templates for daaaays.

Then again, I was going to work on lostemps for armor anyways...

1 square HWP suffer 2 problems

First they become zombies if killed by a chrisalid


Second they still count as 1 HWP towards craft capacity.....unsure if they also squat the place or they allow the three empty spaces to be occupied by soldiers....

Works nice with the attack dog, not very much with anything else.

Zombies are fixable in my extended version. Any armor can be immune to chryssalid.

I remember that.....still EQ 2.0 should be still for mainstream open com IMO

Job done (new translation).

Yankes/Pkrel: I'll see about releasing a SE version maybe in thr future. But right now I'd love to get my shotgun fix into the main game once I am done with it so that :
1) it draws all the pellets
2) all pellets follow a 'cone' of fire
3) each pellet can be of a damage class other than ap
