What I would like to do if I could borrow some of your weapons - is build a 'Ninja Warrior' mod.

It would use the Fuso Sword, Ninja Stars, Fuso Knives at al weapons. My concern though is would they work outside the Piratez environment?

I think I will get the armor from Xops mod.

If you use OpenXCom Extended, I can't see any problems.

Overall I have some plans for Ninja theme in next OXCE version. Like when moving through dark places your are less likely to get reaction shoots.

Yankes, I don't want to be too greedy, but what do you think about introducing reduced spotting distance for some units? I mean spotting them at distances that are closer than seeing range, for example 10 tiles instead of normal 20 (per day).
This would probably be an armour feature. I think it would be best expressed in decimals; so

Code: [Select]

stealth: 0.5 in the armour code would mean that you can only spot them at half the normal distance.
Obviously this would enable stealth units (ninjas) without any dirty tricks regarding invisibility.

In a more advanced version, stealth would be a derived stat from the unit's TUs, Reactions and maybe Melee Accuracy, and also with possible bonus from armour (dark clothes, stealth fields etc.) But that's probably too heavy, at least until introduction of adding new custom stats.

First of all I don't know how it will work and I don't want know, I will simply expose required parts of engine to script and rest will be DIY

I was just browsing through the Bootypaedia for the nth time when I realized that, with a decent damage roll, the Fusion Torch could cut through a UFO's outer wall.

Why am I just now realizing this?

Heh, that's what they were added for.

No need to ask, just credit me where it's due. Sword and Knives bigobs are from Diablo, handob for knives is Warboy (?), mine are ninja stars bigob, sword handob and all projectiles.

I'd be very careful with stealth options, as it would mess up the current Reactions & Mutual Surprise mechanics that are supposed to simulate stealth. If we added stealth, we'd need to make default vision range = unlimited, for starters, and second, derive some mechanics on how stealth is interdependant with Reactions, and also add spotting skill to counter stealth, and how it is interdependant with Reactions.

Thanks Dioxine. Will work on extracting items out later today. Probably create one that can be used in normal OpenXcom as well. Will see how it goes.

Another thing that is different for me is that I havent built any interceptors. I have researched up to Brave Whaler but for some reason I prefer assaulting Ground Landings. This is probably best in the early games ( I have played 14 game months) but as it goes on. You start seeing Bomber runs, gold transport and others. I normally use the Ventura and two pachyderms to transport soldiers.

I plan that by default nothing will be change (only maybe small corner cases). Rest will be up to modder to change as it see fit.
Mechanism will be two staged, first will be calculating value in range from 0 to 100 based on acting unit. After that reacting unit will get that number and modify it.
Result value will be used for probability of each reaction shoot normally available for that unit in that situation. Failed reaction shoots will not cost anything.
This mean 0 no reaction shoots, 100 current behavior.

What does Voodoo Mastery refer to? The Ghost Dagger is surprisingly effective. I even took down a tank!!

not-Psi-Strength.

What do I need to get Nuclear Laser Ammo, again?

I got the MPG and the related tech from Humanist Files, but I seem to be missing something more.

Have you tried the Tech Viewer from this thread: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4106.0.html ??

That's awesome! Thank you!

Turns out I'm missing a Broken Academy Engineer.
