[OLD] Old OXCE+ discussion thread

[Meridian]

I was messing around with some of the features in TFTD and found that coup de grace causes a crash due to a missing sound file.

Afaik it plays melee weapon hitsound, and vanilla UFO & TFTD melee weapons lack any (there's only swing sound), due to flat 100% hit chance. Should work if you mod said sounds in.

Btw. I will be removing the whole 'coup de grace' feature eventually. I haven't used it once.

[Arthanor]

I used it once when it was new, then didn't need it either.. normally I execute things by autoshoting at the tile where their body lays, that feature of oxc is quite nice. Maybe since melee might be able to destroy terrain, it could also work on corpses? (If there's no walls or object, target corpse)

The TU cost associated with picking up, executing and dropping is just too high compared to the shooting option. (Snapshot from a power mace or hammer also works really well, hence my asking if melee could also do it this way with the new terrain damage implementation)

[Dioxine]

I've never seen the usefulness of this option, beside sheer sadism (unconscious enemies are a boon, not a problem), but I guess it makes sense that such an option exists, also, whatever floats Meridian's boat - without him, there would be no Piratez as we know them now

In my defense it was an Artifact Site with 10 unconscious tentaculats 

[Dioxine]

In the case of Tentaculats, I'd use the biggest explosive I have on each of these muthas, no expense spared

[Surrealistik]

I like the Coup De Grace feature.

I only really use it during Mansion runs when I'm murdering people early to start a panic after TK projectors KO them while clearing terrain, but it's useful to me nonetheless.

[Dioxine]

I like the Coup De Grace feature.

Of course you do, that's no-brainer

[UnholyAngel]

I found Coup De Grace feature useful to deal with Cyclops, since they are tend to survive fairly often no matter what you to at them.

[Arthanor]

You should capture them. They're useful with the right tech.

Meridian, how difficult would it be to save loadouts for items on a ship?  Not like ship weapons, but the stuff your gals can carry around.

I often find myself with multiple transports all with nearly identical loadouts just so I can have a couple teams in the air.

On a scale from easy to difficult?
Easy.

I have it on my todo list, in section "nice to have" for a few months now... let me bump the prio a little bit.
Anyone else interested in this?

[Arthanor]

You mean like having a "Bonny-Raiding" and a "Bonny-Mansion" equipment list, so you can easily swap between your normal equipment and what you take to mansions? It never occurred to me that I needed it, but now that I know it could exist, I'd use that!

[Solarius Scorch]

Oh yes! And it would also be useful for changing vehicles!

[Dioxine]

Yeah, upgrading ship is a hassle now, all needs to be manually moved and restored...

[Meridian]
