Bugs, crashes, typos & bad taste

[tarkalak]

OK, my error.

[tarkalak]

A minor Research tree bug, with no actual consecuences.

Contact: UAC requires Promotion II, but some of the guns require Promotion I. They shouldn't be available without Contact:UAC, but still.

Version is 1.6 from the Github, I think yesterday.

[Solarius Scorch]

I don't think it's a bug - these weapons, like shotguns, do not require level II authorisation. Whether you can buy them before contacting UAC is an unrelated issue.

Just finished my first ever campaign and its taken almost a year (I started it in December last year), Version 1.12 I think. No issues all the way through and then it crashes on the last mission and wont go further. I have to laugh or I would cry but I have to admit I had a blast playing the game and I was going to win anyway so no biggie, I just thought I would report it.  I am just about to start  a new campaign on 1.5.

I got a mission with a single survivor, but didn't get the "Survivor" commendation. Save attached. I have the github version from last week I believe.

Or am I supposed to only get it for successful missions and not on failed ones?

Well, if you'd like to report it, please report it. At least I can't see any report beyond this.
And thanks for the good words!

Sorry, nobody knows exactly how commendations work.

You get it only on successful missions... otherwise you could easily abuse it in alien bases.

OK. I guess a non-exploity variant would be way too complex with too much stuff to check anyway. I will just edit the save if I feel that the situation was worth it.

@Solarius Could you add a note in the text that it is awarded only for successful missions to avoid more misreports?

[Solarius Scorch]

Well, it already states "finishing a mission as the only X-Com operative on site", and I thought "finishing" could not be interpreted in any way other than "completing". But why not.

[tarkalak]

To me "finished" doesn't imply that it was a success, just that a mission ended.

Is it possible to determine if a soldier was damaged by enemy?

If so the following logic shouldn't be too easy to exploit:
A and (B or C or D)
If
A. A soldier is alone at the end of a mission.
AND either of the three below
(
B. The mission was success.
OR
C. The soldier was wounded by an enemy
OR
D. Other agents died during the mission
)
then award Survivor.

This could still be exploited if you have missions with weak enemies that could damage but not kill an agent, but it will still be dangerous.

Or may be the above isn't viable at all, so disregard.

[Meridian]

Regardless of whether it's viable or not, the author (Shoes) of the feature decided and very explicitly wrote in the source code that it should only apply to successful missions.

Any change will happen only after his approval.

Well, she said otherwise...

But seriously... If you do half of your homework and then throw it into the corner, would your teacher consider it finished??? IMO there is zero ambiguity here.

I have finished for the day.

Funny though, my wife is a teacher.

OK, I agree.

OK, this is seriously a funny coincidence

Offtop closed.

Yeah, that will show them, those pesky offtopicers, they never shut up!

Wait, that is me!

Quickly, think of something on topic!



1. OK. The Werewolf Fear Gaze is used by the Alpha Werewolf, but is researched by the regular one. You should get it after the Alpha research I think. EDIT. The same applies to the werecat too.

2. I noticed that, now, Homicidal maniacs and the like drop Kevlar Vests after being researched. Shouldn't the Red Dawn soldiers (Poineer and up I think), that drop Durathread after being killed, give you Durathread in the same way?
