Still trying to remember what efrenespartano fixed - I am pretty sure I included it in a previous version, but I can't remember what it is.  Has to do with requires Alien Only but I can't find the post.

EDIT: efrenespartano reminded me, added above.

Great! Good to see a new version incoming!

Hahaha IIRC, I fixed the STR_ALIENS_ONLY thing. I had fixed the Plasma craft weapons UFOPedia issue too, but I can't remember if I send you the files.

YEEESH, just found a huge bug on the flying armor.  I'd be surprised if anyone was losing any soldiers when they were wearing it. Ooops!

It will be particle beam weapons used only by end game units.

Since Hobbes mod redefines Alien base tiles (UBASE_REDUX), I ended up never getting the HYPER WAVE ENCODER (which is planted in UBASE_00) so it was impossible to scale up the research tree to the HYPER WAVE DECODER facility.

I checked and editing the UBASEREDUX_00 tile in terrain pack makes the item appear regularly (5 times out of 5 tries).

Heya Pkrecl, which Hobbes mod was this?

I cant wait to see them.

The Terrain Pack! Includes a lot of new Alien Base maps and the original is almost never used. I cheap solution is copy & paste the Hyper Wave Encoder on various mapblocks on these new Alien Base maps and test on the Mission Generator to see if it worked.

Great, just did a clean install and got on the nightlies and the mod doesn't work appear in the list.

Investigating.

Don't use nightlies. Use OXCE, is far more customizable.

Could you share your metadata file, mate? Probably is something related to it.

False alarm, I have openxcom backed up in too many spots on my HD.

I got the mod working but working through some errors with files on discord.

[KingMob4313]

Seems that I need to redo all the image offsets for the nightly releases. 

That's gonna take some time.

My suggestion for you is to add reservedSpace: 6 on your metadata file, and delete some 0s of your indexes. i.e. instead bigOb: 19000, just leave 1900.

That will ease a lot of work, pal.

I might need to look into that, but right now it the mod uses the following numbers:

Wolfram Weapons   10000
Wolfram HWP   20000
Coherency Weapons   30000
Coherency HWP   40000
Fourth State Weapons   50000
Fourth State  HWP   60000
Misc   70000

It's gonna take some brute find/replace work in notepad++

What I really should do is write a program in C# that takes my spreadsheets and generates the yaml I need.

Oh well, for another time.

[KingMob4313]

Very close to a release that will fix the issues on the nightly release.

New features added: tier 0.5,1,2 trade goods, new 8 shot laser cannon. Just need to do all the obs (Hand, floor, big) for the new weapon.

Will be rolled out for the nightly and the older (no longer accessable) version.

[KingMob4313]

Got distracted with a voxel editor to try to do the 8 direction view of my weapons. Gonna backshelf that for now and just get the edition out.

Should be out in a week after I test the dogcrap out of it.
