The new "dual-wielding" HWPs and OXC closing up
« on: September 21, 2014, 12:21:03 pm »
Trying to make a tank featuring the new option to give it a secondary weapon.

But when I try to load it on the craft (equip craft>equipment screen) for a quick battle, the game closes up.
Nothing on the log.

I'm not good at spotting minute errors, so try to use my aux weapon, if it works, the mistake is in your aux weapon, if not, it is elsewhere:

Code: [Select]
  - type: AUX_TANK_MG
    weight: 1
    bigSprite: 378
    bulletSprite: 2
    fireSound: 96
    hitSound: 22
    hitAnimation: 26
    power: 36
    damageType: 1
    accuracyAuto: 50
    tuAuto: 25
    clipSize: -1
    battleType: 1
    fixedWeapon: true
    invWidth: 1
    invHeight: 3
    autoShots: 4
    autoRange: 24

Just comparing the two... maybe one of them needs to be a fixed weapon with infinite ammo?

Remember Lobstermen are the model that made this possible.  (Fixed melee, and the ability to use normal weapons).

Cheers, Ivan :D

No, infinite ammo is not a requirement. My prototype dual-weapon tank "combined" cannon & rocket turrets.

Did a (very) quick check and seems the problem is elsewhere. Usually when the game closes up it's about graphics, but there shouldn't be anything wrong with my assets.
I'll resume fighting with it next saturday, my free time is non-existent now :'(

Spotted something, a recover: false weapon won't equip for XCom, maybe that's the problem.

Maybe, but check the sprites you're using.
bigSprite, floorSprite, handSprite.


I'm having problems with the secondary weapon for HWP as well, so test your HWP with unlimited ammo first.

For me, if I put a weapon with infinite ammo as primary and secondary then everything works.

But if I put a weapon with finite ammo as secondary, the ammo is never loaded.
And if I put it as primary, the weapon is reloaded but the stock in store never goes down.

I made another 2-weapons  tank, with a ammo-less Laser (instead of rocket launcher) as main-turret weapon, but this one doesn't load the ammo for the aux cannon.
At least in quick battle mode.

Could it be that there some kind of issue in using an ammo-less main weapon (turret) with aux weapon that has ammo?

Mod is still too WIP to be published. As soon as I have something that's not a total mess of stuff, I'll do it.

It's a bug. If weapon in right "hand" hasn't ammo, then weapon in left "hand" cannot be loaded also.
https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Battlescape/BattlescapeGenerator.cpp#L1055

Actually, there are still a few bugs:)

For example, possible memory leak in this place: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Battlescape/BattlescapeGenerator.cpp#L594

Another example: "fixedWeapon" can be placed in "backpack" instead of "hands".

Diggin those rockets. Did you make those AUX weapons yourself or did you just make the sprites?
