Maybe you didn't intend this.

in any case: thanks for the pre-builds!!!

Those builds are actually not under my control.
They're set up and maintained by Stoddard.

Hi, nice release as always. I know TFTD support is not done yet, but i want to report a small bug with the "small rank icon" feature. I think it works in TFTD too, but the soldiers name is not moved to the side, so there is no space for it. The text is overlaping the icons.

Fixed.

I would also like to make a little request. I made it sometime in 2015 on the openxcom bug tracker already, but it has not yet been implemented. The EU pedia shows craft weapon ammunition since 2015, but TFTD pedia don't. There is enough space under the weapons stats to fit craft weapon ammo count in. Why should TFTD not showing ammo when UFO does?

Added.

I have tried changing the advanced options but the ones in purple seems unchangeable, tried manually changing them via notepad++ but no joy. How do I change these options?

You don't, that's the whole point.

In the Piratez.rul file in the mod folder you can change the options. Search for the following part:

Code: [Select]

fixedUserOptions:
  soldierDiaries: true
  battleUFOExtenderAccuracy: true
  canSellLiveAliens: true
  battleExplosionHeight: 2
  storageLimitsEnforced: true
  craftLaunchAlways: true
  canTransferCraftsWhileAirborne: true
  showMoreStatsInInventoryView: true

Cheers that did the trick.

You know, these options are blocked for a reason.

Do what you want, it's your game, but...

Getting this bug on version 3.7a+:
1-- left/right click on the > arrow until I reach the item limit for the craft (and thus get "no more equipment allowed onboard" message popup**);
2-- left/right click again on >, and that happens, the item counter sort of "reverse" and gives a negative number.
It is reproducible.


(** Also when you get the popup and click "ok", you're scrolled at the very top of the equipment list, which is a bit annoying).

Hello everybody.  Can someone tell me what the STR_KNOCK_OUT_INDICATOR advanced option does?

[Starving Poet]

It adds a purple indicator to the battlescape if someone has > 75% stun damage.

Cheetar.

Also plz do not remove blue Fatal Wound indicators from unconscious units, since it'd make these indicators far less useful.

I couldn't reproduce exactly what you describe.
If you start with less items in your craft than allowed, I could never go into minus.
If you start with more items than allowed in your craft... then step 1 makes no sense/cannot be performed, since you already have reached maximum.

I could reproduce the minus when I started with more items than allowed in my craft.
E.g. allowed items = 10, but I already have 50 items in my craft when I start the game
When I left/right click to add more, then some item go into minus to reach the 10 limit.
E.g. if I had 20 rifles and 30 clips in craft already (together 50), and click to add more clips, game sets the number of clips to -10 (so that together we have 20 + (-10) = 10 items)

Same happens in vanilla, so it's not an OXCE+ bug.

(** Also when you get the popup and click "ok", you're scrolled at the very top of the equipment list, which is a bit annoying).

Fixed.
This is OXCE+ bug.
I never tested this case, since vanilla doesn't have any limits, nor any mod I use so far.

Note: It will still reset, when you return from the inventory... since the numbers might change in the meantime (OXCE+ has a feature to move items back to base also when you're in the inventory GUI)

Also plz do not remove blue Fatal Wound indicators from unconscious units, since it'd make these indicators far less useful.

Yes, I will leave it.

For testing I modded the Avenger adding "maxItems: 144" (disabling any other mod but the OXCE+ extra strings).

Starting with a completely empty Avenger in Quick Battle mode:
a) I start adding rifles until I reach item limit (144 rifles) and I get "cannot add more" message popup.
b) I click "ok" to it and I'm brought back to the equipment list, showing the 144 rifles on board.
c) I still click to add more rifles and I immediately (as I should) get the "cannot add more" message popup.
d) I click "ok" to it and I'm brought back to the equipment list, but now it shows 0 rifles on board.
e) I click to add rifles and I immediately get the "cannot add more" message popup, even though it displays 0 rifles on board... (the craft looks completely empty, everything is "0").

The reset to 0 of point d) does not happen in vanilla OXC (latest nightly), but it keeps displaying 144 rifles.
Also, it resets to 0 if you're adding exclusively one item, if you have already different items on board, it reset to a negative value, which is equal to the amount of other items you have on board: so if you have 10 pistols, you reset to -10 rifles instead of 0.

Maybe there's something fucked up on my end, if some else could check this...
