Yankes,

I have a feature request. I'm pretty sure that this is not anything anyone else but me would want... but whatever!

I would love to see smoke that causes damage, smoke that is rapid stunning, smoke that causes panic/berserk state, smoke that robs TUs, more smoke density or visibility states, and

So basically... trick smoke and improved smoke behavior.


The reason I am asking is because of some of the great possibilities that are forthcoming with features like armed civilians and I feel that more types of smoke could lead to some cool stuff.

So we can have things like a SWAT cop throw a CS grenade into a building and smoke out sectoids or We can have alien enemies that use poison gas a la Signs.

We could better simulate toxic smoke or fumes from burning chemical barrels.

There would be a whole range of things that would be wonderful and add depth to the battlefield.


Thoughts?

-HH

That's easy, just play the dos version and launch some incendiary rounds  ;)

I think the Craft Screen in OpenXcom Nightly is much better than in OXCE. What do you think?

The screen in OXCE in more tightly spaced, because it can support 4 gun slots... unlike OpenXcom nightly, which has only 2 slots maximum.

Erhm.. ufopaedia articles have their own listOrder to sort them. It is in no way related to the listOrder of the baseFacility. Have a look here.

How I see, the listOrder in the facilities is related to UFOpedia articles. Look on the ordered and unordered (default) screens.

How I realize, there are no differents between OpenXcom 1.0,  OpenXcom nightly and OXCE in this situation. Both OpenXcom-s have same behaviour like OXCE.

Is there a possibility to define custom "Throwing Sounds" in OXCE? 

So that different items (grenades) make a different sound when they fly through the air.

Not sure if it helps, but you can design a 1 bullet weapon which disappears after shooting and give it arcing shot... That's how many weapons work in Piratez. Then you can have custom fireSound.

EDIT: I forgot, but you'll probably have to add max range too.

Doable, but it will need wait because my queue is full right now.
