You're trying to run Piratez with the wrong OXCE version. Use the one provided with the mod.

If it still doesn't work, come again.

[RolandVasko]

ook, already running well, thx,

just 1minor ..fringe thing - now i just started (for try and look for news) new campaign, and besides those 3 obligates very first entry topics for "research" (meetings at hall, look-around at machinery, visit nearby town, and hire local peasants), it gives any Space Monster as i suppose by look-at, Harbinger of (from) Hell :S lôl

(..what is, apparently, and suppoesly middle, - near end game tier.. thing to research..

It is relatively easy to bork up the research tree and have something show up at the very beginning that shouldn't.  Perhaps you have a conflicting mod installed.

I wrote a script that fixes the pirate flag morale inversion issues. Now the pirate flag will not reduce the morale of your troops with bravery >100.

Code: [Select]

items:
  - type: STR_PIRATE_FLAG
    tags:
      IS_BATTLECRY: 1
  - type: STR_PIRATE_PIPES
    tags:
      IS_BATTLECRY: 1
  - type: STR_PIRATE_GUITAR
    tags:
      IS_BATTLECRY: 1
     
extended:
  tags:
    RuleItem:
      IS_BATTLECRY: int

  scripts:
    damageUnit:
      - offset: 1
        code: |
          var ptr RuleItem item_rule;
          var int temp;
         
          damaging_item.getRuleItem item_rule;
          item_rule.getTag temp Tag.IS_BATTLECRY;  #check if attacking item is pirate flag
          if neq temp 0;
            unit.Stats.getBravery temp;  #check if bravery is >100
            if gt temp 100;
              set to_morale 0;           #prevent the item from affecting moral,
            end;                         #which it would reduce for bravery >100
          end;
          clear temp;
         
          return;
A similar approach can be used to fix similar inversions for example in fire and plasma damage. (Right now, getting hit by fire or plasma will increase your morale if bravery >100). But I don't know where this inversion is a feature and not a bug. Need Dioxines input for that.

File with script is attached, simply place it in the ruleset folder of piratez mod.

[legionof1]

Thank you for the effort but this has been discussed before and is intended. I personally disagree because it's counterintuitve to understand for most players.

[Eddie]

Are you sure it's intended specifically for the battle flag? Please post a link to that discussion, I would really like to know the arguments for why this is a good idea.

[amjh]

I wish high-level bravery would be rebalanced in general, but that would require an engine update and data file updates to unmodded content.

[Rubber Cannonball]

Perhaps you never saw this post in the OXCE main thread:

So morale damage is no longer inversed when above BRA 110? Not a big thing, but, EDDIE, why? Why did you do that to me? Why do you hate me? (We both know that only Piratez use >110 BRA) I just only learned about it now.

As to why he wants it that way, you'll have to ask him.  My guess is perhaps ultra high bravery is a form of insanity.

That is in fact the design intent. If your so brave someone trying to root around in your skull is less annoying then a fly your probably well of the deep end. or a robot.

I don't have a direct quote to provide atm since the discussion i had with dioxine was on the discord server many months ago. But we had many days of discussion over it, and while i don't agree with it because it's unintuitive, that's the way

[Eddie]

I saw how Dioxine reacted to my proposal. I never understood that reaction and never saw any arguments why he wants it that way. I'm just curious what the reasoning is, I'm sure there is one.

The only thing I could think of was to make some units much harder to mind control by making it impossible to lower their moral by psi panic attack. If the rest is then unintended side effects, that can be remedied by selective scripts as I tried to do here.

I remember he had some complex plans to use that feature, but I don't think it came to fruition.

[legionof1]

That is feature of the engine present in vanilla anything with 110 bravery or more is immune to MC and takes virtually no damage from panic(all non weapon morale hits for that matter). It's how you make robots be robots when it comes to psi. But robots don't have commendations and bravery buffs from gear either.

Beyond 110 is the untouched realm of the wierdness, only present in mods(and even then very few).

[Khazaar]

I noticed two things that might be bugs:

Training neposim doesnt remove the crewmembers from that available training unlike other trainings. It would be nice if the cremembers would dissapear bc I retrainded a Gal by accident and it doesnt do anything, it just costs money...

Training MMA on very high skilled members (eg. Freaks or very powerful Gals) actaully reduces hp freshness and other skills, I´m not sure if that is intended or a bug.

[Eddie]

@Khazaar

Needs two added lines to prevent double nepotism. But I'm not sure if it's feature or bug. I've attached a file where I changed it, needs to replace the current one in your mod folder.

Transformations reducing stats is a mix of engine limitation and balance. I've explained it here https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5345.msg121385.html#msg121385
