What's TTV?

Thanks for the update.
Regarding the armor, not understand. Where and how should it be displayed? In my mod, there are restrictions on the armor, (in "armors.rul"), even the description of classes of infantry in Ufopedia did, but how to adjust the display of available armor? And where?

[Solarius Scorch]

Nice looking update, but I think something might be wrong with large units display.

There are four wolves on this screen:



But here we can only see two wolves on the scan:



EDIT: Attached the save for good measure (for X-Com Files).

Units, which are not visible to any soldier are not displayed on the minimap.

 - Merged OXCE 3.8

Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8itkFQbhj-YazVJWEw4eUdtV1k

PS: not tested at all, this is a preview/testing build, use at your own risk... but help with testing is definitely appreciated!


Known issues:
- inventory templates don't work
- cannot use gun butt when weapon is not loaded
- global inventory templates don't work

[Ethereal]

Well, the first thing that does not work is the inventory template. Simply does not work, throwing out equipment.
With mines, everything is the same.

P.S. A very big request - please make a Readme file where, could learn about the new functions in the control files.

New version is up. Known issues from 3.8 are fixed.

Does play tests using x-piratez works? What issues and crashes are ok to report in this thread? I think I found some issues with this executable using the last Xpiratez version, but I did not report it yet because neither piratez is using this executable or this exe is recommended for the mod yet.

It's not officially recommended, because it hasn't been tested yet (and has bugs).

If you can help us with testing, it is much appreciated (really)... feel free to report any and all issues you find.

[wolfreal]

Perfect! I hope I´m not clogging the thread.

Here is one.

Using last piratez (G1) and the last OXCE+ executable, sometimes this kind of stuff happens in battles:
[20-06-2017_12-02-49]   [FATAL]   A fatal error has occurred: Unsupported action (val: for item STR_SMALL_MEDIPACK
[20-06-2017_12-03-01]   [FATAL]   OpenXcom has crashed: Unsupported action (val: for item STR_SMALL_MEDIPACK

It happens to me before with other combats. I remember a reticulan trying to use plasma pistol in a "unsopported" way too.

With the 3.7 executable this does not happen.

[Yankes]

this is my bug

[Bartojan]

I can not switch to any other language from February 2017. Is it the bug or the feature? See https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4058.msg78596.html#msg78596.
Screenshots from current Linux and Win versions attached.

PirateZ has stopped distributing the common language files (see attached).

That's where the list of languages is taken from.
