The units are are armed, but with only what they are carrying. All the ground equipment brought before that is usually on the floor is not available.

...dude, have you ever played X-Com before?

I also observed these missions may have the alien mini-brain room levels swapped, making the center hub inaccessible to our soldiers. And the dirt walls of the compound are quite impervious to regular weapons.

This should be fixed now. With emphasis on should.

First of all I want to thank you for the exceptional work done on this mod. I have only been playing this game for more than 4 months.
I felt adrenaline again when opening a ship door, turning a corner and waiting for the alien turn to find out if any of my elite soldiers survived a bad position on the battlefield.
I tell you that I had a problem, I attach the log to the message. At the end of August 1999 the game crash. I don't know about programming or anything like that, I just enjoy the games. I would be grateful if you could indicate how I can solve it. I already saved near the crash event, update oxce and xfiles, and my ideas ran out. From already thank you very much!

Pd: Sorry for my English. I am Argentine and I am using the translator.

Thank you very much for the kind words.

I'll check the problem, but the log says nothing. Can you please post your save?

OK, thanks!

But I don't get this... the game is complaining about "region named: STR_SOUTH_PACIFIC is not defined". Sure it's not defined, it doesn't exist anywhere as it's a TFTD only region, so... What's missing??

I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but the last mission carried out before the end of the month was in southern America, more precisely in southern Chile.

I've got the same crash with the same log with this save-game file. That's because my folder "TFTD" is empty.

XCF needs TFTD files for underwater missions?

No, certainly not.

I'd better ask for help.

Thanks, Meridian.

@Baron21mdp and @Kozinsky: the mod is fine. You seem to have created the campaign with some other mods which messed up the globe. Remove the problematic region STR_SOUTH_PACIFIC from the save.

EDIT: Here's your fixed save, Baron.

Could someone help me with the current campaign? I'm somehow stuck in my current research. There's not anything occurring which seems to advance any sort of researchable topic or any other progress. I'm doing the same types of missions, encountering the same types of enemies over and over again. Am i missing something? I'm really eager to finish this great mod. My latest save state is attached.
