[OLD] Old OXCE discussion thread

[HelmetHair]

Thank you,

to you both.

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?

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

Other people ask for this too. Right now its on my "far" todo list (far as in far future :>).

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.

Wrong order in UFOpedia

[Arthanor]

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.

[CanadianBeaver]

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

[Yankes]

I do not touch (at least consciously) order handling of articles in ufopedia, there is difference between OXC and OXCE? (this screens are from different versions? with exactly?)

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.
