Ah, if cample.cat isn't being found, you may not have properly copied your UFO Defense source files in place. Other posts have mentioned that OXC is looking for version 1.4 of X-Com, which includes a set of new .cat files with the updated sounds.

Openxcom extended 5.1 from 2018-10-14 works fine. I can copy UFO Defense source files to the right place.

Newest OXCE requires SAMPLE.CAT and SAMPLE2.CAT.  Unfortunately, at least some European DOS versions do not contain these sound files. Since you are likely czech (judging from the paths in the log), you are probably using one of them.

In previous versions of this modpack, which were in a version of OXCE+, said files were not needed.

Edit: I misread your last post. So it is only the OXCE the latest modpack version came with?

Yes, it was a bug in openxcom nightly that got fixed a few days after it appeared.

I gave up Xcom for a few weeks!
I know it's not right!  :-X
I see there have been many changes!
Some of them are confusing to me:
- I no longer see the "coup de grĂ¢ce" option! Is it integrated into the game? Purely delete?
I found a message indicating his removal from OXCE!
That's a pity!
   :'(

In the UFOpedia in the articles:
- STR_WEREWOLF_PSI_PANIC_WEAPON
- STR_WERECAT_MIND_CONTROL_WEAPON
There are no data! Is it the same in your game?

Tks !

Not for me !  ???
This is what I see:
Data is empty !

Game version : 0.96c

[Edit]
This may be because in the file "ufopaedia_XCOMFILES.rul" there is the symbol "#" in front of the lines "text:" !

Ah, okay, I get it now. There simply is no description... I can make them :)

In other news, there is a bug with the dogs... I accidentally copied over Aqua-Plastics Suit stats over the unarmoured dog. Enjoy your durable dogs while it lasts. :P

Seems that Cleric of Apocalypse is bugged. He always seem to face south, no matter his actual direction and when you stun him the turn ends immediately (yes, without you actually pressing the end turn button). I think his animations are kindda bugged.

Thanks, I will check. Could be an incorrect routine.

EDIT: Yes, it was an incorrect routine.

Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just really lucky. Are ethereal leaders supposed to be crewing the alien fighter craft? I've just bagged four of the bastards without having to slog through their minions to do so and it feels kind of cheaty.

Usually they shouldn't... Do you have a save?

I don't have a save but i did have identical problem. Downed a fighter with lots of etherials in them and the only one i captured was ethereal leader. It was also lucky capture, i just wanted one alive as this was my first encounter with them and needed living specimen for research. Didn't really expect to run into leader into that kind of craft.
It was definitely a fighter craft, no mistake there.
