[OLD] Old OXCE+ discussion thread

[Solarius Scorch]

It's not obvious at all... how should the game let you know if you're missing for example 5000 items of 200 types?

Same as after a mission, if you don't have replacements.

Otherwise it would be a pain tracking it down manually...

All of these new features look awesome and I can't wait for the next release of X-PirateZ to try it out.  Thanks so much for all the hard work you put in!

[SIMON BAILIE]

I have to say, very nice touch with the minimap & grenades. Currently playing area 51 v0.94 with your exe of 08/08/17 and I'm wondering how do you get the damage preview to show on the carouser as well as the percentage chance to hit?

[Dioxine]

Another great update, with many new features! Congratulations!

Hi Meridian,

Commit 7fdf8f951 broke builds on Ubuntu Trusty.

I think it's due to gcc and thus libstdc++ version (which is 4.8.4 there), since other builds are fine, starting with the Debian Jessie, where gcc is 4.9.2.


The nightmare of a C++ error is:

I can't make any sense of it

http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector/erase C++11 allow const iterators to be used for erase. gcc 4.8 probably did not implements this yet.

Yep, most likely the case.

[Meridian]

Fixed.

[Stoddard]

Fixed.

Thanks, builds are ok now.

Meridian, you said one day, that any armor with size 2 can have inventory. But when i make such thing, pressing the inventory button does nothing. I can still go to this unit inventory through other units, but...

Other thing: is it possible to unload fixed weapon's ammo?

Inventory thing was fixed in nightly few days ago by supsuper I think... will be in the next OXCE version 3.9b or 4.0.

No, you cannot unload fixed weapon.

[Nord]

It is nice, thanks.

[ohartenstein23]

The inventory is still available in the meantime either at the before-mission inventory screen or by opening the inventory on another soldier and using the scroll arrows.

Important:
Starting with this version, OXCE+ comes with a full package (executable + data files)... similar to nightlies.
You MUST update the data files each time too, updating just the executable is NOT enough.
