0.4 This year?

[michal]

Is there chance for that?

[kkmic]

According to Daiky, there are hopes for this:

I'm planning to implement the medikit, motion scanner and proximity grenade this month, so if all goes well, the battlescape 0.4 is ready before end of year, as promised.

I'm hoping to get a 0.4 beta sneakpreview video on youtube around christmas.

Or is this a "we want 0.4 this year please" kind of thread?

But there are also other things beside battlescape. I'm not sure if research & manufacture are finished yet?

Will there some news or a formal procedure about custom bitmap fonts creation for ver 4.0?

They are finshed, but they depend on other parts which still aren't ready. For example, after a ufo mission, alien items aren't added to your base inventory, so you can't research those items(alien alloy, ...). Another example is the laser weapons. You can research and produce laser pistol/rifle, but you can't equip your craft with them. And even if you do(by editing a savegame for example), they aren't fully usable on battlescape(limited ammo).

I already have fixed the second one, but I don't think that Daiky hadn't have time to review it.

I think I forgot, where do you have this fix?

[gchevallereau]

The  branch here: https://github.com/gchevallereau/OpenXcom/tree/unlimited_ammos

[Daiky]

Looking at your branch very quickly in between work.
You actually load the weapon with an ammo item of a new class "NoAmmoItem"?
I personally had an idea of setting the ammo item pointer to the weaponitem itself, but it might give other problems.
Also did you try what happens if you want to unload the ammo out of a laser weapon?

Yes it seems to be the easiest way.

Also did you try what happens if you want to unload the ammo out of a laser weapon?

No, it was just a quick hack to have laser weapons working in the battlescape. But it should be easy to forbid unload if weapons has unlimmited ammo

Hopefully my forced coding hiatus will end by next week, we'll see how much I can still get done this year.

[michal]

Great

[Daiky]

the 0.4 preview video is there, motion scanner is for next week...
>Hope to see SupSuper back in action next week too

[Daiky]

Maybe we need to adjust our hopes with SupSuper busy with university 0.4 end of summer 2012?

0.4 before / on easter?

If so, somebody should implement some easter egg Chickens instead of sectoids or smth

It's hard to sneak easter eggs when the code is public.
