What do you mean? Meridian's fork is being distributed with Piratez.

I've come across another minor glitch.  It may be in OXCE, but because I'm using Meridian's 2.5b build I thought I'd start the conversation here. 

In the basescape, when I open the Prison interface it doesn't display the capacity correctly.  I've built two prisons now in my primary base (Thanks for the nerf, Dioxine) but the prison screen still shows only 15 capacity.  15/15 space used.  In the base logs I'm seeing the correct value of 15/30 space used in the prisons.   

I was opening the interface by right clicking on either facility.  Vaults, when opened in this way, work correctly and display the base's total capacity.

(Sorry if this has already been reported)

Right, wasn't it only recently though? Does this mean in the future Meridian's exe will be the main exe for all new releases?

In the prison interface you see Space available/free = 15, space used = 15... which totals to 30. Capacity is not shown anywhere.

Here is a save.  I updated to the 2/13 .exe and still got a crash.

Fixed.
Happened when there were craft, which had empty weapon slot(s).
Download tomorrow (or later).

I'm moving the mod to OXCE+ 2.9. It will be uploaded before weekend. So please make any new additions for 2.9 not 2.5b.

I will be making changes in both, just in case.

I just thought of something. Something that plenty of others have probably thought of before, so maybe I'm just re-asking for it. I don't know if it's codeable, or just requires an extensive but easy graphics mod.

A facing indicator for enemy troops.

It's already graphically shown on the enemy sprite, but sometimes it's damn hard to tell just which way enemy troops are facing when there's plenty of smoke and/or fire about. With rear armour being such a huge thing in Xpiratez, it'd be very useful. Tantamount to cheating, just because it makes it easier to plan shots, stuns, etc.

But in theory, no different to what we have now. It'll just make it obvious.

Can a small blue pixel be coded in on the enemy's game sprites to show which way they're facing (blue should stand out amongst fire/smoke/landscape).

Or will I have to do a large optional graphics mod, one pixel per enemy, per facing?

Yes, I think this would be helpful in many situations. However, I'd only see it as a hotkey thing - for example by holding Shift or Tab or whatever else. Otherwise it'd just get in the way.

I'm almost at the end of the second year in a run through of piratez 0.97D using your exe of 02/21/2016 and still a long way to go. I was wondering on two ponts:

1.
Spoiler:
Is it a glitch or intentional that you can only target star gods on a diagonal, ie the square changes from green to red? By the way they seem to be immune to handles, electro whips and stun batons, took 2 stun bombs from the small launcher to stun a star god novice.
2. With you being able to have up to 4 weapons on a craft why does it only show the first two in the geoscape, see attached picture? Or is this part of the UI hardcoded?
