Thank you very much !

But one little question please !
I'm surprised that autopsies of "spitter" and "skeletoid" have the same sentence ! 
Normal ?

First of all, the current version has bugs that result in a crash (missing research stuff and so on), so play the campaign at your own risk!
I can't release a hotfix at this point and the next version will take some time before it'll be ready.

Yeah, Hobbes' Area 51 Mod has soldier themed civilians attacking/shooting units you know.

The police robosphere now DO attack aliens (at least it seems so).

2: More weapons and stuff from Human Factions.

I don't plan to make many more weapons over the current ones. Just and handful and that will be it.

4: All of the stuff including aliens from Apocalypse (Aliens like Brainsucker, Hyperworm, Micronoid Aggregate, Queenspawn, Overspawn, etc) (Meaning more than 1-2 years

About the aliens I'd say I'm about halfway done.

6: Entropy Launcher weapon for the aliens (Adds like a shot that makes more wounds for a soldier to have)

I did some testing and controlling the wounding is tricky. I still don't know about a kind of weapon like that.

7: Personal Energy Shields (perfect for blocking incoming hits/shots)

I plan to have them, if they work in a way I like.

8(OPTIONAL): Genetics and Genetic Modifications for soldiers

No "genetic mutation" for soldiers but something similar in effect. Still unsure though.

9(OPTIONAL): Cybernetics and Mechanized Soldiers/Tech

There wont' be mechanized soldiers... but maybe there will be full androids like in Apocalypse. Maybe.

10(OPTIONAL): Fix some text and string errors on UFOpedia stuff (Very important for things).
12(TEMPORARILY OPTIONAL): More fixes on everything, might take months and years to fix it.

I know, it's a mess currently.

Well... Modders assemble!

Here's what the Plasma Rifle does in X-Com Files:

Code: [Select]

    damageAlter:
      RandomType: 6
      IgnoreOverKill: false
      ToArmorPre: 0.05
      ToStun: 0.75
      RandomWound: false
      ToWound: 0.12
      FireThreshold: 25.0

RandomWound: false means that a linear value is chosen to determine the number of wounds, generated as per ToWound value (instead of the usual 1-3).
No, I don't understand it either.

yeah I used "RandomWound: false" too; my problem about it is that i found (during my bit of testing) that the "weapon that inflicts many wounds" idea wasn't much interesting when put in practice.
(this is not a criticism about the feature itself, which works exactly as it should; just my taste about the gameplay).
will definitely try again though.

new version up, 0.3.7a.
unfinished mess and billions of new bugs; but at least aliens can now dine at luxurious restaurants.

[Solarius Scorch]

Oh dear.
I really hope we get these terrain improvements in OpenApoc.

[new_civilian]

robin, you really have an eye for the attractive tiles and combinations. You're doing amazing work!

I'm only reproducing/imitating the excellent work that was already done by others for X-Com Apocalypse.
The attractiveness of the tiles and combinations is to their credit.

[The Reaver of Darkness]

Aren't those tables from TFTD? I don't remember seeing them in Apocalypse.

I was thinking it was the tables from the hotel in the island attack.

[Solarius Scorch]

These tables look nothing like the TFTD ones. They aren't even of the same shape! (TFTD tables were round.)

You are right I guess. Looking closely, they do look very different. But zoomed out, to me, they look a lot alike.


Robin, is that micro-megaspawns!?
