I got an after-battlescape crash very often

Attach at least the whole log please.

And a save, if possible.

  STR_GIANT_SPIDER_GREEN_ARMOR: "Armored Spider Combat Analysis"
  STR_GIANT_SPIDER_PURPLE_ARMOR: "Death Spider Combat Analysis"
  STR_GIANT_SPIDER_ALLOY_ARMOR: "Stealth Spider Combat Analysis"
Is this intended? I was quite fond of how the colors kind of intuitively matched the spiders. Especially with the armored spider using the alloy spider sprite.
Nevermind, i must have misremembered this. Somehow i associated green=death, purple=stealth and alloy=armored. Still weird that the armored spider doesn't use the alloy sprite though

Would it be better if the BOps Smart Pistol list order was 20330, so it fits better in the purchase screen ?

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_BLACKOPS_SMARTPISTOL
    #listOrder: 20360
    listOrder: 20330

They were always named like that. Internal strings are different for my own sanity.

You're right, it's misplaced, but why 20330? It's already take by the standard pistol. I'll give it 20335.

The 20330 number was chosen just to see if it gets on the same spot as the Standard BO Pistol. I assumed that the game will sort two items with the same list order by the order they appear on the .rul file. But, thanks, whatever works to placate my OCD 
On the same note, I bring to your attention:

Code: [Select]

ufopaedia:
  - id: STR_CAWS_CONT
    #listOrder: 22654
    listOrder: 22655
items:
  - type: STR_CAWS_CONT
    #listOrder: 22654
    listOrder: 22655I'm not sure of which one is the correct one (I suspect the first one), but the CAWS second page entry shows before the main page.

Yeah, it's bit wonky. But now we have an option to make multi-pages, so it's probably no longer relevant. I just ned to learn how to do this.
EDIT: No, we can't. I'll just fix the numbers then.

[Alex_D]

Do you have a save? I honestly can't say much from the minimap.

I got the same error (last enemy unit in the corner). See the save.

EDIT: A better save.

[Solarius Scorch]

Hmm, very interesting. There are no spawns there, and considering it's the {0, 0, 0} tile, it looks like a lost unit which failed to spawn somewhere and was reset to basic coordinates. I have never seen anything like this before and I have no idea how to approach this...

Adding a few more spawn points in case it's the game trying to spawn unit with all places being occupied/obstrcuted? A check that retries to spawn the unit next turn? Certainly some debug message for this would be useful, but I guess it's in general more of a base project issue than the mod one. Maybe the save should be forwarded to one of the guys managing that?

Cybermite mines and caves in general have areas that can be blocked by enemies with your agents unable to see or attack them (mostly 1x1 spaces/alcoves, but also narrow tunnels). Is this intended?

The game wouldn't do that, if it runs out of spawn points, it spawns next to previous spawns.
But of course, any help is welcome.

Well... initially yes, but I don't really like it much after all and gradually remove such passages.
Dioxine loves them though, and puts it on all maps he makes.

Also, might i request adding back the Hilariously Explosive™ rocket stacks to the Syndicate and Black Lotus base assaults? They always bring a smile to my face when i encounter them on outposts.

I can't remember removing anything... But I'll have a look.

[krautbernd]

Might be one of those cases of selective false memory on my side, but i could have sworn shooting the rocket stacks on base assaults used to totally wreck the room and anyone in it. Now they just go 'poof', which resulted in my agents getting poofed by the surviving rocket launcher wielding supersoldier.
