Problem is that "-1" should be correctly handled by game as "no sound". I will look on nightly and my branch why this is miss handled.
I didn't jet have time to work with this but most of values from ruleset get mod offset even if it should reference basic sounds.

It is possible to make optional "stun damage alteration" option, which make stun damage have same impact on a soldier/creature characteristic as direct health damage?

One of the issues with recent nightlies that has been crashing mods:

Hitanimations:

Warboy has updated those and it now affects HE/smoke/incendiary weapons.  Before these had no affect whatsoever.

Ensure your hitanimation has an appropriate value if you are using one of these weapons.

See  chatlog below.


Cheers, Ivan :D

Thanks for this. I had a similar problem using the older version for Commendations and just realised that I had changed hitAnimation to 26 on a weapon. I will change back to 0.

This is already done.

Modsite link for the 2.5A is broken again... can you update your Mediafire backups, as they end on ver. 2.4?

Cool! Now I can make the true magic staff experience, and loading sounds also sound like a great addition to make the game more flavorous :) Is this new version still called 2.5a, since I can't find any newer in the downloads?

Dear Yankes, just downloaded the linux version 2.5b replacing the old 2.4a but i find the statstrings are on by default, but i did not activate them, see screenshots attached. So how i may turn them off?

Impossible to have any difference between versions "a" and "b". Another thing is that I don't touch that part of code consciously (some times some miss merges can break some stuff) .
One questions do this name is still calculated or it maybe leftover after mod was disabled? New hired have it too?

I started a new game with UFO Redux, just to simply try, so it's a very beginning. But i reverted to 2.4 because extended piratez with 2.5b is very crashy so i downgraded to 2.4. Just to let you know, gonna wait next x-piratez version.

If you use redux is possible that it give this stat strings.
And another thing xpiratez aren't crashy with 2.5 but incompatible. You need have correct version Extended and xpiratez to work properly.
If I recall correctly lastest version is still on 2.4 but next one will be based on 2.5

Probably Hobbes put them in an "hardcoded" way, don't know.

Yes, but i thought since between 2.4 and 2.5 there are not big differences it might have been worked. Ok, i'll stick with x-piratez default one provided. :) thanks

There are big differences, since 2.5 is based on September Nightly and 2.4 on May (I think). So it's a wonder you were even able to launch the game at all.
