1 yes

Yes hundred or yes hunderd?

2 this is what damage resistance in armor is used when you do damage form that weapon.
Polish: Angielski to trudna jezyka Ogolnie to ten stat sluzy do wybierania ktory rezist z armoru uzywamy podczas obliczania redukcji obrazen.
`damageType` ustawia to oraz tez inne staty ataku, moza powiedziec ze sluzy do ladowania wartosci domyslnych, ten stat zmienia to jedno tylko.

OK, now it's clear. Thanks!

[ps]
btw thanks for fixes, I will apply them in next update.

No problem. I'll post the update when the hundred/hunderd thing is resolved.

Why thank you, good sir.

Yankes, have you considered adding additional ranks for XCom soldiers? I was looking at the rank list yesterday and thought that it would be nice to have some additional ranks to fill the gaps:

Commander
Colonel
Major (insignia is the current one of Captain)
Captain
Lieutenant
Sergeant
Corporal
Squaddie
Rookie

This would require some change to the .EXE for the promotion requirements.

I once though about hijacking those to implement portraits for agents.

Pretty sweet those ranks!

[Hobbes]

I made those with some quick copy/paste.

I wish there was a better rank insignia for Commander. I never figured what the current one means, I assume it's a skull but it is weird looking.

[robin]

The badges where likely made when the enemy was still unknown so they just made a weird-looking skull to represent an alien skull. If a skull is symbol of death, that would mean "alien death"

50% skull, 50% mushroom cloud, 100% badass.

Just to complete the derailment of this topic, the Commander's rank often strikes me a bit overly phallic.

Well then I wouldn't stare too much at the Colonel one if I were you..

Wait until you see the General or Marshal ones...

[Meridian]

Commander
Colonel

The commander one looks like Rio Jesus with fly-like eyes and a hoodie.
The colonel one looks like Irokese Harry Potter about to cast Avada Kedavra with both hands simultaneously.

No, I am not intoxicated.

Good grief... I'm not sure I want to see that

Hard to say, I didn't touch this code to say if it will be hard or easy to do. Only one thing I recall that could be problematic is morale bonuses given by ranks.
I can put it on "far" todo list because right now I have some things planed.

BTW
Today or tomorrow I will publish new version, two main features will be physical training options (based on old WarBoy patch) and control over weapon turn restriction for aliens (contributed by redv).
