Sorry, just a quick question!
Can "PEGASUS" and "GRIFFON" vehicles be purchased or must they be manufactured?
Why do you ask?
I find "costBuy:" lines for them in the "crafts:" tab and I also find lines in the "manufacture:" tab!  8)

I disabled the lines in the "manufacture:" tab to match the tests in the ufopedia.

Tks !

The idea was that if you obtained it by CONTRACT you could buy it, while if you obtained it by kidnap+research an enemy (human) scientist, you could manufacture it.
But everything is still "work in progress" so for now you can do whatever (I don't even know if it can be done; you can do that for items but idk for crafts).

A suggestion...
Create two identical vehicles (identical characteristics and the same name) but with a different variable name: STR_PEGASUS and STR_PEGASUS2.
If the contract is signed: purchase of STR_PEGASUS.
If capture of a scientist+research: manufacture of STR_PEGASUS2.

That's one possibility.  ;)   :)

Constant missing in language rul :
      STR_BEHEMOTH_TERRORIST: Gigantopode

and when using the unit viewer (middle mouse button) :
      STR_ROBOSPHERE: Robosphere
      STR_ROBOTANK: Robotank

************************************
In from_apocalypse.rul
- units tab :
  - type: STR_ROBOTURRET_XCOM_CANNON
stamina: 5

With this value the robot advances 2 squares then it stops!  ;)

************************************
Sorry but I suppose you've noticed the display problems for the Exo-skeleton armor :

- no leg when the unit is in the air



- black frame in the air



Suggestion: none !  :-[

Nota : Work fine on ground !

fixed, will be in next release.

there shouldn't be units named like that.
they're like this:
STR_ROBOSPHERE_SOMETHING
STR_ROBOTANK_SOMETHING
will look into it.

works as intended, the roboturret, as the name suggests, is a static unit

fixed! the exoskeleton is not supposed to fly, it's ground-only
will be in next release.

The "unit viewer" (middle-clicking a unit in the battlescape) only shows an enemy's race by default - this was changed somewhat recently from showing the full unit name, here's the documentation on the change.

they're like this:
STR_ROBOSPHERE_SOMETHING
STR_ROBOTANK_SOMETHING
In the 'unit viewer' for robot 'Xcom' you are right and work fine !

But for enemy robots (Sirius in my test) these constants are missing.
      STR_ROBOSPHERE:
      STR_ROBOTANK:

Sorry !
no problem at all!
i'll try to make its description in ufopaedia more explicit about its limited mobility.
