There is a string, line 1006:

Code: [Select]
  STR_ALIEN_BIG_BASE_ASSAULT: "ALIEN COLONY ASSAULT"
Probably an outdated version?
I have the same thing and afaik am on the latest version (handcuffs are 1x1).

Is it intentional, that building the Virtualized Headquarters over the Headquarters, still costs the full 4,000,000$? The building time is reduced as expected, but not the money cost.

Currently no good way to make "upgrading" buildings cheaper. The only way to make it cheaper right now is via "refundValue", which refunds credits when a facility is dismantled - meaning that you would get a refund when "building over" as well as when you dismantle a facility.

This is not quite a crash. I've compiled the linux version of openxcom (master) and started it up successfully. Then installed XComFiles from  the mod.io web site. During I start up, I get the following errors

I get this error with version 1.8b, 1.8, as well as 1.7b.


Not sure what to do about this. I don't want to go about changing the rulesets myself. Any advice?

I had trouble using the forum software. I'm amending my post to add in the error logs.

Downgrade OXCE to 7.0

or upgrade XcomFiles to git-master: https://github.com/SolariusScorch/XComFiles

Thanks Meridian, that did it! At least, I was able to get the game started and the first base put down.

For anyone else who runs into this, I downgraded to v7.0 (compiled from 08d9eb908265b1fed482ff388d1ea7e8102d758f) and used X-Com Files v1.8b. Using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

A new problem. If I reload a save in battlescape, the game loads with just a blackscreen. Furthermore, you can see everything on the map as if there were nothing on the map.

Well I can't do anything else than add this string... And it's there...
Can you check if it's present in your version (in \XComFiles\Language\en-US.yml)?

Yeah, that's how it always works.

I'm afraid that I can't say much - never heard of it before.

Don't know what's wrong.

Interesting! Thanks. I'll try a few things this weekend, perhaps a different version of oxce.

Is it intended that the Fenrir wolf's bite ignores overkill? I've had this since 1.7 and it's a bit hilarious actually just watching it bite someone so hard their fucking body just disintegrates, I actually thought that it might be a plasma based attack but no it's just regular cutting damage LOL

You probably have a wrong/incompatible version of yaml-cpp library.
Try using the newest one.
Or at least not v0.5.2, which definitely doesn't work.
