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

[HelmetHair]

Ah! Much becomes clear!

Despite me muddying the waters, sorry. 

I'm just excited because I've ALWAYS wanted the features that are being implemented by you KingMob.

Thank you again for all your hard work!

I think infini already said something like this, but Elerium shotgun shells look like an unarmored Xcom corpse in inventory screen (bigob I guess).

There is also no voice in the Pedia about them (so it does not show up when researched).

CAn't tell handob and floorob so far. 

EDIT: sorry, I forgot that also the reinforced shotgun does not have them as compatible ammo in Wolfram Ruleset

Sweet Cthulu's teeth, getting the HWP to work is escaping me and frustrating the hell out of me.

I've had things eating up all my time this last week, so I have two days to try to get this figured out.  But most likely, I'm gonna sprint to make sure that the reported bugs are fixed and the new 'Hyperwave Encoder' is enabled and I'll push out a release.

I need to have VS2013 open to debug what the hell is freaking out openxcom when I try to get a tank working in the battlescape.

pckrel and others: What is the issue with the reinforced shotgun?

[pkrcel]

Two things:

The Elerium Shotgun shells have a bigob problem. They appear as a corpse in inventory. I fixed changjng the bigsprite number to IIRC 164

The reinforced shotgun does not have the Elerium shells in the list of compatible ammo.

[HelmetHair]

Sad face.

[KingMob4313]

Release will be in a few hours. Sorry!

[KingMob4313]

I don't have the two-weapon tanks working yet (one weapon) but they are improved over the base tanks. Just gonna release what I have.

I rarely use the tank.  Sometimes, one plasma shot from an alien and my $500000 investment is lost.
Now, they are improved ?
OK.  Nice.  We'll see.

How does 180 hp, 40 armor and only 55% damage from Plasma sound to you?

Wrestling with getting this release out.

I'm not an expert, I cannot tell.  I need to test it first.

...and of course, the HWP secondary/AUX weapons do not work, currently.  Going to keep fighting with them and once I get them working, I'll move on to the laser and plasma tanks.

Thank you for the new Beta.  First, I'll translate the new strings.

Thanks Infini.

It's kinda out in the open, just lying on the floor right now. It'll get moved under a power source in the commander's room in the final releases.
