Bugs, crashes, typos & bad taste

For Solarium and Meridian.
About the Decrypted Alien Key:

Spoiler:

If a craft has one decrypted alien key in its inventory, and it's deployed to a mission other than an embassy assault, after the mission is completed, the alien key mission is consumed.
I'm attaching a save. To replicate, just abort the mission.

Decrypted Alien Embassy Keys being consumed on non-embassy missions?

Sorry, it was a bug. Now fixed, will be available with the next release (or get the latest version from GitHub).

Hello! I've been playing for a couple of weeks now, though I'm a first time poster. I have a recurring crash every time I play the Exalt HQ mission. I can't seem to figure out what triggers the crash, but I am unable to load my game (saved in-mission) after the crash. At first, I was playing a version of the game from about a month ago, and attempting to load the game after the crash would cause the program to crash. So I updated to the latest version, and now when I try to load that game it will not crash, but it will not let me load it either. Instead I get an error message saying "yaml-cpp: error at line 895, column 7: end of verbatim tag not found". Opening up the save file and looking at line 895 (the last line) shows "!<" (without the quotation marks). Removing this line and attempting to load the game leads to automatic game over where the aliens take over the Earth.

I can post the save file and my log, but I can't seem to find how to do it. Is it a privilege I don't have on account of being new to the board?

Edit: Just checked my version from the save file. Previously I was playing 6.3.1, and I just upgraded to 6.3.4.

Sorry, without a save I can't say anything. There have been no other reports of any problems with this mission, so I have no idea where to start.

If you still can't upload the file for any reason (though I can't see any potential one), you could join the X-Com Files Discord channel and just drop it there in #bugreports.

You must be using some old version of the mod.

I have a strange issue. Since starting my current game I built a medical drone but it never appeared in a base mission when I was attacked and because it wasn't important I forgot about it. But now I have researched and built  Tanks I cannot put them on a craft as an item, they are not there even though they appear in my base storage as an item. It seems that any heavy weapons systems I build are not available on the battlescape.
 I am using OXCE 6.2 with XFC 1.1.2
 Ah I have just found the solution on page 138. Sorry to have bothered you
    Many thanks

Just to say that the new version has another save location
I have moved my saves to the new directory. Will I encounter problems ?

Work fine for me !

Secondly, if you want to continue a campaign from a previous version, you need to find your xcom1 folder (the one where saves, screenshots and configs are) and rename it to x-com-files.
(On the first launch after this conversion, the game will warn you that there some mods are missing; you can safely ignore this.)

recently  I have cleaned my warehouse and got a surprise:
Selling regular Blackops sniper ammo gives more money than Blackops Tritanium sniper ammo.

[Solarius Scorch]

Heh, indeed. One 0 deserted

[betatester]

I suppose it's also the case for the Blackops Tritanium LMG clip

[Solarius Scorch]

...maybe

The ion blaster in Ufopedia is supposed to deliver plasma damage in text but delivers laser damage.

[RolandVasko]

Ion ist ~~ plasma

The tech tree viewer:
- There's 2 entries for Gilldog
- if you search STR_ you find some topiccs that need their strings

Thanks, fixed.

The tech tree viewer:

Not a bug. One is the unit, the other is the race. It's like Sectoid Soldier vs. Sectoid, but Gilldogs don't have jobs.
This applies to many creatures.

- if you search STR_ you find some topiccs that need their strings

Probably otherwise invisible topics. The Tech Tree Viewer exposes some stuff which shouldn't be exposed.
