[OLD] Old OXCE+ discussion thread

[Player701]

Hi again.

There seems to be a visual glitch where a hovertank's turret is incorrectly drawn behind its chassis. I remember encountering this glitch in vanilla OXC two years ago (even reported it on the bug tracker) but it doesn't seem to happen there anymore. OXCE+ is still affected, though.

Here are a couple save files to demonstrate the glitch. Press the "View Level Above" button or use the mouse wheel and you will see it. Also attaching screenshots.

It's not very complicated... just not necessary for most people... you're probably the first person in 8 years of openxcom asking for such a feature
Even megamods like piratez are OK with just one translation file per language.
How would more files or even directories help you?

Im not the first

Any chance for this function?

Can someone explain how customTrainingFactor works? I change the value and it seems to do nothing.

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_TRAINING_CENTER
    customTrainingFactor: 0.001I've tried a variety of values from 100 to 0.001 and in all cases the soldiers train from rookie to super soldier in under 2 months. It's not just a little too fast, and I want to slow it down drastically.

It's a global parameter: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4187.msg69251.html#msg69251

Excellent, thanks. It's working now.

I have no plans for such a function.

Hi again.

This has been fixed less than a month ago in vanilla: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/commit/9dbe3989ad4cf5b5655ad457a75b5b47db326698

Fix for OXCE is prepared and I will merge it once a new OXCE version comes out.

There seems to be a minor regression issue between builds 2018-07-29 and 2018-07-26. The weapon sprite in the status panel seems to disappear randomly while firing. Note that it has always done that once after clicking on the target (just before firing), but in that case everything in the panel disappears also (soldier stats, name etc.). In 2018-07-29 it seems to disappear randomly during the firing sequence, leaving only the ammo counter visible. This is most noticeable with auto shots.

The regression is most likely due to this commit: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/commit/56674037f9b3071ed63b734e0d9b3f0be6c62d31
(support for OXCE hand UI animation, which I postponed for quite a while)

I'll have a look...

Ok, thank you!

There are a couple of questions.

1) Is it possible to make for the ships and the UFO "damageModifier", and for weapons of ships and UFO "damageType"?

2) In addition, I can not understand whether there is a possibility of UFO weapons to have "projectileType: 0 end 1"?

[Meridian]

1/ currently not possible

2/ no, it's hardcoded to 5

I am having difficulty with toArmorPre.

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_PLASMA_PISTOL_TERRAN_CLIP
    power: 60
    damageType: 5
    ToArmorPre: 0.5
My understanding is that the function is supposed to make damage apply to the armor regardless of whether or not it does any health damage. However in testing, no matter what value I set, I get vanilla behavior.

I believe it needs to be nested inside a parent "damageAlter" attribute or something like that... check other mods...

[Yankes]

Exactly that Meridian said, `ToArmorPre` this is property of damage type not item.

How does armor damage work?
Is it reset at the end of the turn or does it persist for all the mission?

[The Reaver of Darkness]

Thanks!
What is "IgnoreOverKill: false" and overkill?


@Robin: Armor damage persists for the mission. When a soldier takes damage, their armor usually decreases a bit as well. You can see this in their attributes during the mission.

[Yankes]

@Robin: As Reaver said, armor "damage" is value that is reduce from unit armor stat, similar to morale "damage" that reduce current unit morale. As bonus this values can be negative and restore armor od morale (image blowtorch that fix armor, but as we know is not fully intelligent to fix armor still attached to person )

@Reaver overkill is functionality that allow to disintegrate unit when hit with powerful attack. Useful to gib zombies with nukes and dont worried by new chrysalids.
