For some reason, I'm still getting the same error.

Here's the ruleset file to make sure I'm not an idiot. I have no prior experience with Xcom's files.


I looked into this ruleset and found out that this chunk is still missing. That's why you keep getting this error. I fixed it for ya:

You defined XBASE twice. Try the attaching file.

(An ultra quick job, no guarantees)

not really a bug, but the sound of the magnum pistol rounds hitting is very delayed, by like a half second...its kinda jarring to hit with it, because of this.

You're right, and it's stupid too. Changing it.

Looks like mapscript for cyberweb lair is far from perfection. Here is all-dead-end situation.
And popup message of cyberweb lair missing - STR_CYBERWEB_ something.

Yeah, the map bugs out sometimes. To be honest I don't know how to make it better, apart from giving more exits to all blocks, which defeats the point of a sewers maze.

Bring explosives, I guess. ☺

I posted this elsewhere, but in the new version, breaking walls in cities with gunfire (or other items) often causes random explosions, because rasins.

I gotta admit, that is actually pretty damned funny, first time around.

Yes, this is some sort of code bug, nothing we can do about it at the moment. Our coders are working on it already.

Common magnum can no more use alloy ammo. Is it just as intended?

Yes, you need a more advanced one... The classic one might explode :)

Seems like explosive bullets will be remembered a long after this bug will be fixed  :D

Well, finally I was bothered enough by Zombie Mission music (it's so lo-fi), so I converted "The Thing" credits music into OGG format by myself using different settings. The resulting OGG track is a little bigger (2,49 Mb) but sounds somewhat better. I hope The Captain won't assign me to chupacabra hunt for this 8)

Thanks for making the mod better.

To be honest, the glitch could be utilized as a weapon, couldn't it? maybe a 2 stage disposable anti armor weapon, the first shot being the equivalent to a gause gun, an armor piercing shell, and the second firing the second shell, along with the the extra chemical left over, giving it an explosive shot...

....could be neat.

Every time I load my save at the end of the month a supposed MIB mission pops up, however it crashes my game stating...
"Error processing mission named: recon, mission type: STR_MIB_TERROR is not defined."
