Thanks for the info but after doing the change it still won't load on oxce. It says spitter corpse not found. And to be quite honest I wouldn't be sure what I am doing. Recently started a new game and I'm using nightly of 29.03.22 with no problems so far. It's just a bit of a pity as I really enjoy some of extended features such as when using motion scanners you don't need to remember or write down all the alien positions.

what version are you using?
I see 0.99.8 in the log, but there is no such version available for download on the portal

He is using the latest gihub Version. Probably directly downloaded it from github, which is ok.

It is running without issues under the latest vanille OXC.

Does hardmode expansion work on latest oxce, works on latest nightly. Is it the extra checks that oxce does that is causing the problem?

Yes these really annoying validation checks are one of the issues, it is not loading under the latest OXCE.
I was just trying to hide some items in the new BattleMenue.

For mods that aren't updated, you can try setting oxceModValidationLevel in your options.cfg from 2 to 0.

Interesting I keep that in mind and check if it loads once I am home.

Thanks.

Here's the patch to run it under OXCE, see attached zip file.

Or you can also just add the missing research topic manually:

Code: [Select]
research:
  - name: STR_NOT_AVAILABLE
    needItem: true

Drone taser attack crashes the latest hardmode/openxcom at least on linux; an attack sound is played, but then the colors get messed up and the game gets stuck. I submitted a report on github issue tracker. Because the issue tracker is otherwise empty, I wonder if it's supposed to be used. So at least a heads-up here as well. (Apparently I'm not allowed to post external links, so I mangled the URL: https ://github.com/hellrazor4223/hardmode-expansion/issues/2)

Here are the juicy bits from the gdb stack trace, but not sure if it helps:

Hi psavola,

it's caused by missing sprites.

To fix it, open `items_HM.rul` find `STR_DRONE_TASER_WEAPON_AMMO` and change `hitAnimation: 110` to `hitAnimation: 56`

--

@hellrazor: btw. the above-mentioned "annoying" OXCE checks can easily identify such errors and prevent runtime crashes :)
Here are examples of some other missing sprites that will cause crashes (both in OXC and OXCE):

Code: [Select]
[04-04-2022_11-50-27] [ERROR] During linking rulesets of items:
Error for 'SPITTER_ZOMBIE_WEAPON': Wrong index 57 for surface set BIGOBS.PCK
Error for 'STR_ALLOY_DRONE_TASER_WEAPON_AMMO': Wrong index 110 for surface set X1.PCK
Error for 'STR_DRONE_TASER_WEAPON_AMMO': Wrong index 110 for surface set X1.PCK
Error for 'STR_TASER_PISTOL_CLIP': Wrong index 100 for surface set X1.PCK

X1.PCK sprites correspond to `hitAnimation` field, BIGOBS.PCK sprite correspond to `bigSprite` field

The sprites are not missing they are correctly defined see here:
I do not see any issue with this. WITH one exception. This is damageType STUN. Worked so far always especially with the Taser Pistol it was never a issue (and it is in the mod since the beginning so 6 years). So Please explain to me what i am doing wrong. Or maybe something changed while handling Stun weapons.

They should check their hitAnimation in SMOKE.PCK like any other non-Explosive weapon. Not in X1.PCK.
It has been so since ages, like i said the Taser Pistol has been working all this.

Explain to me what i am doing wrong or recheck the code, which says that damageType Stun is focred to be a explosive type weapon, which it is not. Thanks.

Insanely enough, actually adding blastRadius: 0 towards the ammo item definition fixed the issue with the sprites. Can someone confirm?

AoE explosions check sprites in X1.PCK, non-AoE bullet hits in SMOKE.PCK.

It has been like this since 18th May 2011, feel free to test it on any version of OpenXcom if you don't believe me.

That would change the AoE explosion into a non-AoE explosion, and likely fix the issue by looking into a different spritesheet.

Hello. I got an error:
Error for 'SPITTER_ZOMBIE_WEAPON': Wrong index 1057 for surface set BIGOBS.PCK
What should I do with this?

It's just a missing sprite, as reported above.

Find a file called `items_HM.rul` and a section that looks like this:

Code: [Select]
#BEGIN SPITTER ZOMBIE WEAPON ITEM
  - type: SPITTER_ZOMBIE_WEAPON
    weight: 3
    bigSprite: 57
    meleeSound: 48
    strengthApplied: true
    damageType: 7
    accuracyMelee: 100
    tuMelee: 10
    battleType: 3
    fixedWeapon: true
    invWidth: 2
    invHeight: 3
    clipSize: -1
    recover: false
    flatRate: true
    listOrder: 11407
#END SPITTER ZOMBIE WEAPON ITEM

and change `bigSprite: 57` to `bigSprite: 0`
