Bugs & Crash Reports

About underwater movement sound: using "movesound" number "212" causes CTD. In fact, any number more than "54" causes crash.

This is an OXCE+ bug.

Fix has been released: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4187.msg82858.html#msg82858

It's a feature in the patch notes, Close Quarters Combat. See here for a more in-depth explanation.  There's also an article to be unlocked in the bootypedia about it.

This new feature is indeed very useful for very narrow passage-ways.
Just place your team next to the doors and role a dice for 'dodging' his shots.

Yay, indirect laser nerf(No gunbutt option). But more reason to pack small/light melee options which is good.

Napkin math with the values from the bootypedia yield a maximum of 84% chance to succeed vs 0 dodge with max stats before armor buffs. More then likely your average will be more in the 40-60% range.

Pack melee option for sure. Anything with decent dodge(30+) will effectively be immune to shots from adjacent tiles.

Xeno and blitz armor are defiantly more attractive now that they are likely to survive a rush that fails to drop the target in one turn.

Underwater mission with Jellyfish crashes because of some missing sound on an attempt to move gals.
'Sound 212 in BATLLE.CAT not found'

EDIT: Fix released, my bad, loading now.

The 'useCustomCategories: true' setting in the new rulefile for me overwrites the categories in the fence, ship and black market screens with those from the 'equip craft screen' which is not helpful ans I don't think it is intended.

Setting that entry to false returns thing to normal for me.

In the attached save a crash occurs. Its not consistent and only happens when the enemy or the gal shoots and CQ check is made and then some of the times they fire normally. The gal in question is "Wicked Kes"

I personally also don't like it too much.

But that's how the modders wanted it, so I implemented it that way... it is as intended.

Another crash this time in quick battle. Selected Terrain "Forest Mountain"

Spoiler:

[13-05-2017_09-54-56]   [FATAL]   A fatal error has occurred: Height of map MAPS/JELLYFISH.MAP too big for this mission, block is 5, expected: 0

Tried with different vessels the same crash.

Looks like all alienDeployments with a landing craft must be increased in height.

Got a non-fatal "map generation error" in a sea adventure (save attached). Not sure if it's related, but the booty for that mission was pretty laughable for mid second year - look at that picture and weep like I did!

Surely the game failed to load the treasure chest that was rightly mine! 

[Zharkov]

Is it intentional that reaper cavalry doesn't surrender?

[Dioxine]

Yeah.

[Zharkov]

Those ratlings are impressive swimmers! Sometimes their ground patrols spawn amd march in the ocean.

And, completely unrelated, why are airballs listed as weapons instead as ammo?

[Dioxine]

Thanks, fixed the airballs

Is church CARDINAL supposed to spawn in the neophyte boot camp?
