Is it possible to personalize the inv layout for a specific armor?
For the belt I thought about defining the "full big belt" (2*4) as default, and then "black out" the two bottom-left slots for all the other armors; problem would be that I don't know how to place the "null item" on the specific slots I want to forbid (the backpack null item fills the entire space so no precise placing is involved).
(Nothing really vital though, I'm still ok with just the disabled backpack).

I was wanting to wait on something that will remove the limit of 80 units because was trying to add a swarm or legion of aliens as for testing it on the Cultivated/Farm tileset by adding extra nodes and spawns.

There is no such limit, you can have as many aliens as you want, see attached example.

Inventory is global.
With clever "black out" tricks, you can limit slot sizes per armor... as seen in Piratez (using defaultInventorySlot for placement of these black dummy items).

Placement within the slot itself is top-most left-most I believe... can't be specified more precisely at the moment... but I can add such possibility... is this what you're suggesting?

Thanks

but I can add such possibility... is this what you're suggesting?

No need to do that; will check Piratez to steal see how it's done.

I liked the idea of OXCE+
Thanks for your work!
It is a pity that there are no plans to improve the AI ... 

[Meridian]

It is a pity that there are no plans to improve the AI ... 

There are many AI improvements in OXCE+ already.

[Solarius Scorch]

There are many AI improvements in OXCE+ already.

And the players are raging over all of them.

[Fiskun1]

If so, then everything is fine!
I just did not find a log file to read about all the changes.
In any case, I'm grateful to you for your love of my favorite game!

Meridian, greetings. Maybe you can look into this: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5566.msg97020.html#msg97020

Hi guys!

How can i turn of the aliens attack? I wanna test my mods, but need time in game, its not good, for everytime attack me

Thank you!

[Meridian]

Don't give aliens any weapons?
Give those weapons 110% TU cost?
Lock yourself in closed craft?
Give yourself 500 armor?
Give aliens only 1 TU so they can't move?
And so on...

No, i mean in geoscape stop alien attack

[Meridian]

Aliens don't attack on geoscape (unless you're using hunter-killers), they just fly around completely harmlessly.

Are you already using Debug mode? It's useful for testing.

Spoiler:

Debug mode
Debug mode is a special feature that makes it easier for developers/contributors to test out game features without needing to play a new game from scratch. After setting "debug: true" in the Options File, you can enable it by pressing Ctrl-D in-game to access a variety of features:

Geoscape: Unlocks all research and shows globe country and region borders. Clicking on the globe returns the point coordinates. This option can be toggled, and toggles between showing country borders, regional borders, and mission zones.

Battlescape: Whole map is revealed and opening the inventory screen resets TUs. Clicking the map returns the point coordinates. With traceAI enabled in the config, AI behavior is revealed and logged. Please note, in debug mode QuickSave/QuickLoad feature in Battlescape are completely disabled.

Ctrl-V will reset visibility on all tiles, useful for observing LOS behaviour.

Ctrl-K will kill all live aliens in the mission (nothing will be recovered).

Ctrl-J will stun all live aliens in the mission (useful for testing recovery).

Ctrl-W will warp the selected unit to the mouse cursor's current position.

F8 will cycle through various engine processing speeds, useful for debugging animation errors.

You can also press Ctrl-U or set "debugUi: true" to reveal the borders of the interface text, to debug translation errors.

If the Commendations Mod is being played, Ctrl-C will wipe all earned commendations while retaining statistics, useful for debugging how they're awarded.

Just copy&paste from UFOpaedia page.

You can just use Ctrl+K everytime you are in a mission, so you don't need to worry about actually fighting the aliens.
