Hardmode Expansion - Bugreports

[hellrazor]

My current game crashes if I attempt to do alien base 18-see attached. The first two attachments are from hardmode expansion v0.996(master) and the last two are using hardmode expansion v0.995. To recreate crash load save "RESERVE", go to AB18, DEBUG and end your turn.  In the meantime, I can simply avoid going to that particular base.

PS This problem seems to also affect the "armored cyberdisc weapon"

Dear SIMON and all others, attached to this post you find a modified items.rul file. Please download it and place it in the  Hardmode Expansion Ruleset Folder and replace the old file.
I was able to load your savegame and enter the base with out crashes. So this should fix the bug.
But for proper testing, i need the mods you are using it on.

[SIMON BAILIE]

Here are the mods in question-see attached.

PS I have tested it in a limited sense and it appears to have no problems on any of the alien bases currently visible-thanks.

Thanks for confirming that it works. I also tested it with your mods with the exception of the OXCE ones.

I will make a proper version release, since this is a major bug.

I think I've discovered another bug but was able to work around it by adding an ethereal soldier to line 498 in alienRaces.rul of your mod. See attachments for what happens if you don't add this rank. The last attachment has the ethereal soldier added.

hardmode 0.99.6

I have the following problem with hardmode mod. When I try to start ground combat with small UFO in Europe the game crashes to desktop with following message: Invalid MCD file: TERRAIN/UFOL83.MCD. I have tried to check if the mcd-file is corrupt but according to win-rar it should be fine. Also I dont have any other mods set.

I have the following problem with hardmode mod. When I try to start ground combat with small UFO in Europe the game crashes to desktop with following message: Invalid MCD file: TERRAIN/UFOL83.MCD. I have tried to check if the mcd-file is corrupt but according to win-rar it should be fine. Also I dont have any other mods set.

I can confirm the issue, with my own savegames. When i use: OpenXcom Version: 1.0 git 2019-11-04 12:21
With  the old Version i had: openxcom_git_master_2019_10_09_1441.zip  the save loads correctly.

I will have to provide a fix for the MCD file in Question.

Here the logoutput for the developers:

I found a bug in manufacture rules file, line 201: upgrading a scout drone to taser drone will produce a scanner drone.
I also did small fixing to the research tree diagram, but seems I'm not able to post anything here. 
I added an alloy weapon tree, and slightly modified the explosives tree adding explosive ammo and stun/fire grenade.

Maybe wrong place to ask, but is the alloy ammo cost really intended?
I like the idea of alloy ammo to improve conventional weapons, but manufacturing cost and time are so high that are pushing them out of the game (specially early game). Maybe I should start a new thread with more detailed analysis elsewhere.

Thanks i already fixed those bugs. In regard of the research tree grafik there will some changes in the future, which require me to overwork it anyway. But thanks for the heads up.

[mlavia]

This is my redraw of your tree. Feel free to use it if you like. Otherwise nevermind.
