I've got a crash that says "Sprite DEEPONEVILLAGE_BACKGROUND not found." 

Also I noticed that shadowbat corpses are worth more than live ones.  Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Are you sure your installation is correct? The file is there in my version/

Yeah, one zero too many in the corpse. ;)

I did a fresh install of 0.5.5 and then copied over with 0.5.5b.  I'll try a fresh install of 0.5.5b.

Actually, a search through my folder shows a gif called DEEPONEVILLAGE that looks like the background for some text.  Is that the one it should reference or a separate file?

Edit: Did a fresh install and I'm still getting the crash.

OK, I'll check again more thoroughly after I get back home. Must be something silly...
Why does this stuff always happen 10 minutes after the release?

Found a minor text bug, where after a deep one ritual mission some of the rescued sacrifices have glitched names.

OK, thanks. Luckily, not a critical bug this time, I don't have to release another version :)

In a recent mission I noticed I was getting damaged personal armor from nowhere.  It seems my unconscious soldier in personal armor counts for the drop.  I tested it by knocking one of my other personal armor troops (near the skymarshall) unconscious and I got a second damaged armor.


OK, thanks for the report. I'll try to look at it ASAP.


This is still happening in 0.5.5. Basically, live and dead recoverable 'corpses’ are treated the same. Have you had any luck coming up with a fix? If not,  the Alternate Corpse mod looks like a potential starting point.

I ran into another map generation problem, this time in a cave mission.  The last enemy is blocked off in an unaccessable section.  I tried blowing open a thin looking wall(the soldier should be selected), but that caused a crash.

OK, this is a faulty map indeed, but the crash is... weird. I have no idea what's causing it. I'll have to ask for help.

Yeah, we just figured out the same thing on a discord discussion.

Thanks guys, fixing now.

This will take a while though, because I need to make destroyed tiles walkable etc.


EDIT: I think I fixed it. It is kinda experimental, but please try these files. Just copy it to user/mods/XComFiles/TERRAIN folder and overwrite.

And please let me know if it works!

PS. You don't need the "aliens pick up weapons" mod on.

That fixed it.  I dropped the bomb and on their turn the bat came out and got hit with reaction fire.  Thanks.

Is the mod something I should turn off?   I think you told me about it before,  but I can't remember.

OK, cool.
This terrain is somewhat experimental, I don't think it's been done before... So thanks for helping debugging it. :)

Everyone, please also download these files, just in case.

Yeah, it's built into XCF, so unnecessary.

Does having it turned on do anything?
