Bugs, crashes, typos & bad taste

There appears to be a degree of randomness to it. Apparently, the maps generated from a specific terrain can also be very different (for example, some desert maps are desert while there also also more village blocks mixed in). I tried New Battle a dozen or more times got this situation at least once in Mountains and Desert 1 terrain. I didn't try all of these. Here's a save, if it's of any use in pinpointing the issue.

I now suspect this may have something to do with which mapblocks are used to randomize a map.

The same thing happened with Citizens v Monsters mission in a desert setting (with 40+ beetles). No citizens. I copied the save just in case it's needed, but I doubt there's much more that can already be seen (or not seen) in the new battle save.

Sure it is. I'm not saing it's wrong to use it, but it is a cheat, yes. At least I think so.

This is just ridiculous and I can't understand that! Does recalling stuff from your previous run also is considered as cheating? Brainwipe is required? Or XCF is designed to be played once and only once?
Why hit indicators are not considered cheating? Z-z-z and ghost indicators?

More weirdness:
Is it intended to get the Monster comendation from killing somebody with a Shotgun baton round? The commendation's description seems to refer to melee.

It's damage type based, so it is possible to get Monster with a non-lethal ranged attack.

This is just ridiculous and I can't understand that!

Oh my, how tragic. What am I gonna do now?

Dude, take your meds. And then go and reread what I wrote. Or don't; I don't give a damn.

Can't reproduce. What exactly are the steps to get to that error message?

then he stood up and pressed the end of the move
you don’t have to go anywhere and press end move twice

as if he sees someone and knocks him out, like there is no such character

Standing and pressing end turn does nothing special. The soldier simply murders anyone who comes by due to hacked stats. No crash, no other problems. Checked for many turns.

Same here. Although everyone was getting flamed by regular kinetic hits, is this normal?

[Aciruk]

A complete reinstall from scratch helped. Idk what happened

That was weird indeed. Perhaps absurd damage values did that.

Good to know!

Lamppost's neck glows, instead of it's head.

Lamppost's neck glows, instead of it's head.

All seems fine in the files. The head has light emission 15, and the neck is at 1 (barely visible). I guess I could remove this last bit, but I don't see it actually being a problem.

[Mathel]

I did not look into the files, but I tried a quick battle, with destroying.
A) nothing
B) neck
C) head
D) both

As you can see, destroying just the neck lowers light on the ground much more drastically, than destroying just the head.

The terrain used is Urban Deco, though the tileset might be used in different terrains too.

You're right... But when I "fixed" it, the lamps stopped working. Seriously, I don't know what witchery this is; lighting is a simple thing in OXC. But I don't know how to fix it, sorry

[Juku121]

Which terrain was it, not URBAN_ROADS1?

Yes, it is URBAN_ROADS1.

Well, I don't really get it, either. Any value of light seems to make the 'neck' glow as brightly as it does. I rememember mucking around with MCD lights some years ago, and some of them certainly looked less bright than others.

I suggest just removing the light from the 'neck' as a more or less passable band-aid.


The perception that the 'neck' is brighter might have to do with it being closer to the pole and thus lighting that up better. I can't really see any difference in the lighted areas on the ground, measured from the exact tile of either the lamp or the 'neck'.
