Nice new sound on the 30mm craft cannon. 

And new condemnation for Tank Killer!

Thanks Dioxine!

Gnome 9000 mentions grav module, but does not enable gnome to fly? What is the purpose of the grav module, then? It doesn't reduce weight nor enable flying...

I remember that particular thing from OG X-Com, too.

What was there? Some bug?

[Delian]

Enemy units are now gaining stun every turn for no reason?

[Earthquake]

I reaaaaaaly love this mod.
But i registered specially to say one thing.
The new one music for Interception is AWFUL! It so horrible, that I trying to do all the missions and ignore any flying object!

Was worse than a mere bug. Traversing the intersection was a major PITA and the room itself one of the worst historical design to exist. I practically teared up when I saw the de-Golloped version.

Have to agree.

Enemy units are now gaining stun every turn for no reason?

context please? There are a ton of factors that could do this, like environmental effects, loss of freshness, ect. We need to know more if you want an answer.

[Delian]

The stun recovery for most enemy units (SECTION_STUN_RECOVERY_NORMAL) is now:
Health current : 0.06
Health : -0.09
Stun current : 0.036

For instance, if a unit has 100 health, 100 current health, 0 current stun, they would get: 6 - 9 + 0 = -3 stun recovery per turn. Therefore, they will accumulate stun until the "Stun current" offsets 2.5 stun; 2.5 / 0.036 = 69.4 so until their current stun is over 69. This value is of course higher if they're damaged in any way.
If a unit has 50 health, they will gain stun until their stun is... over 27. I should note that, if a unit with 50/50 health has 50 stun, they will never recover it and will stay stunned forever.

In L8 there was also Freshness normalized: 4.0 there, but in L9 it's currently missing.

Noted and passed along.

While diving around in XPiratez's art folders I noticed that "MPO_1.png" had odd red/orange sections on some but not all of its leg & arm frames.

I'm guessing that this is a graphical glitch and not intentional.
(If it is by design, please disregard this post as the ramblings of someone who has been looking way to close at too many sprite sheets.)

Example:



I've attached a version without these red/orange patches to this post:

Here are the originals with the red/orange patches for comparison:

[Usatyi1986]

Make bonus for malee attack with blades in both hands.

[RSSwizard]

Oh that makes me wonder
is that script still active for being able to execute opponents if you're standing over them with a knife?
