Hardmode Expansion - Bugreports

[hellrazor]

This is standard algorithm for OXCE since about 5 years. (commit 32c9799b75)
if a weapon has ArcingShot it awards throwing rather then firing experience.
look at file Battlescape/TileEngine.cpp function TileEngine::awardExperience
where is says:

Code: [Select]

           else if (weapon->getArcingShot(attack.type))                       
            {                                                                   
                expType = ETM_THROWING_100;                                     
                expFuncA = &BattleUnit::addThrowingExp; // e.g. flamethrower, javelins, combat bow, grenade launcher, black powder bomb, stick grenade, acid flask, apple, ...
            }

this can be over-ridden by using "experienceTrainingMode"                                               

This does not happen in OXC.

I take a look at this when i find time on the next weekend.
I moving with the mod to OXCE anyway because of some new features I am using so i probably have to adapt that.
Thanks for pointing it out.

This might be a bug in the engine.
I've stumbled upon something similar:
https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,10996.0.html

Could be worth to debug it and see if there's a fix on the engine-side.

You can't hit floor of GravLift, this is not bug but feature deliberately implemented in code.
GravLift floor is not consider as solid object when consider trajectories.

While you are looking into it, there are two minor issues you may want to change:

in Ruleset/items_HM.rul:
PLASMA_PISTOL_ELERIUM_CLIP and PLASMA_RIFLE_ELERIUM_CLIP  sell for $0
this is because they have a costsell field instead of a costSell field.
in Ruleset/manufacture_HM.rul:
the cost of UPGRADE_WALKERTANK_LASER_TO_PLASMA is 40000 where a cost of 400000 seams more in line with the cost difference between the two tanks.

Pistol and Plasma Rifle Clips are typos. I am gonna fix that.

In regard of the Upgrade from Walkertank Laser to Plasma, see here:

Code: [Select]

  - name: STR_UPGRADE_WALKERTANK_LASER_TO_PLASMA
    category: STR_CAT_TANK_UPGRADE
    requires:
      - STR_LASER_CANNON
      - STR_PLASMA_CANNON
      - STR_WALKERTANK
      - STR_SECTOPOD_CORPSE
      - STR_SECTOPOD_TERRORIST
      - STR_ARMORED_SECTOPOD_CORPSE
      - STR_ARMORED_SECTOPOD_TERRORIST
    space: 30
    time: 200
    cost: 40000
    requiredItems:
      STR_WALKERTANK_LASER: 1
      STR_ELERIUM_115: 10
      STR_ARMORED_SECTOPOD_CORPSE: 1
    producedItems:
      STR_WALKERTANK_PLASMA: 1
    listOrder: 722

You need a armored Sectopod Corpse and the money.
Hm... but it makes more sense to increase it 400k.
I am gonna change it.
Thanks.

this can be over-ridden by using "experienceTrainingMode"                                               

This does not happen in OXC.

This new experience system can be turned off since OXCE 7.9, see Meridians post here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4230.msg154823.html#msg154823

I am simply going to force that constant and be done with. So everything stays vanilla.

Code: [Select]

constants:
  extendedExperienceAwardSystem: false

I'm running OXCE 7.9.8 and using the Hardmode 0.99.9 build. I've run into an error:

"OpenXcom has crashed: Alien Deployment STR_TERROR_MISSION_DOCKED_SHIP not found" and the error further goes on to recommend reporting the issue in this forum.

I'm happy to provide a save game file or repost this message elsewhere if more appropriate. Thanks!

[UPDATE 1] I was able to correct this problem by going to the projects Github and pasting the STR_TERROR_MISSION_DOCKED_SHIP entry into my copy of alienDeployments_HM.rul. I downloaded the latest 0.99.9 release source (from July 7, b3e4152) and DO NOT see a corresponding entry in that releases alienDeployments_HM.rul. I also DO NOT see a corresponding entry for STR_TERROR_MISSION_DOCKED_SHIP in globe_HM.rul on the latest release, but do see one in my current installation. No idea what version I'd downloaded and installed.

Consider this user error

[UPDATE 2] I figured out which version of Hardmode I was using. It was 0.99.9.2, which I downloaded from the mod.io page which is linked off the Ufopaedia article on installing hardmode. I can't post links due to forum restrictions.

[hellrazor]

Please use:

Hardmode Expansion v0.99.9.3

Should fix this issue.

Not strictly a bug but i came here to report it as a bug and when gathering screenshots I saw the issue, so wanted to let you know. The research tree is not up to date. The latest research tree doesn't show that live Cyberdisk is required for Hovertanks and Hovertanks are required for Elerium Bomb Launcher

Did you find the Research Tree Graphic on the ufopaedia page? (The ufopaedia Wiki is totally out of date and I alone have not the resources/time to update everything, I am more focused on making my mod).
Because it is from Version 0.99.9 which is totally outdated.
