Bugs, crashes, typos & bad taste

[Solarius Scorch]

For weapon STR_HK_MK23_SOCOM there are two aimrange entries, one is 25 and the second is 18. STR_MAUSER also has two aimrange entries, one for 25 and one for 20.
Some other pistol have the two entries as well, but with matching values.

I thought these problems were eliminated by now. Thanks.

I noticed a weird thing during a landed UFO assault - a top of the mountain appears floating one level above the mountain itself  Screenshot attached - sorry for it being too dark, I could throw flashlight up there.

Yeah, kinda weird... I should add this terrain to MapView, but it's wooooork.

Not a bug but a visual effect enhanced by explosions/shots that removed the bottom of that tree. I've attached a pic of how that map looks like (although with a different ground color). I'll change the location of the tree stump on top of the hill, should make it less confusing

Ah yes, the mysterious floating mountaintop. Serves no known purpose other than to annoy agents, but it excels at that purpose.

I know it's a bug, but please figure out how to duplicate it intentionally.  It's too good for the conspiracy setting to just not have.

You want floating pyramids? I'm sure it can be arranged.

[Dr.Crowley]

Floating pyramids? This makes me wondering why... oh, Illuminati arc pls!

Dude, you have no idea.

Alternately glitches in reality, buildings that somehow don't have an exit, despite having an entrance, stairs that always lead to floor 4, whether you go up or down, floating landmasses, inexplicable sinkholes or hellpits.  I'm sure others could come up with even better ideas of horrible things for our agents to be forced to deal with as well as why.

The Holy Grail of mapdesign:

I'm not sure whether it has already been fixed as I was playing version 0.6.2.
There is a crash at the entrance of Catacombs - as the active soldier in the attached savefile (Alexia Garcia) steps down, the game crashes. Perhaps that is what was mentioned in the changelog of version 0.6.3. ("- Fixed Catacombs entrance.")

Update: switching to 0.6.3 does not remove the crash automatically. I'll attach another save made in v. 0.6.3 (11crash.sav).

[Solarius Scorch]

Hmmm, what I fixed was incorrect tiles for stairs. This fix wouldn't work on an already created map. But I don't know if your crash is certainly caused by this. Anyway, this mission worked for me several times that I tried it.

magma chainsaw bot blade is purchasable at day 1....even when magma has not been discovered.

Same should apply to "dog combat gear", before dogs are researched.

Oops... I forgot to remove costBuy and costSell lines from STR_MAGMA_CHAINSAWBOT_WEAPON in items_XCOMFILES.rul. Feel free to do it yourself, or just don't buy them.

Good point. Fixing.

Looks like a pathfinding error.

On this line: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Battlescape/Pathfinding.cpp#L110

I believe the condition should be:

Code: [Select]

while (endPosition.z != _save->getMapSizeZ() - 1 && destinationTile->getTerrainLevel() == -24)

instead of

Code: [Select]

while (endPosition.z != _save->getMapSizeZ() && destinationTile->getTerrainLevel() == -24)

I'll consult with Warboy to make sure and fix accordingly... thanks for the report.

Can you tell me what to choose in new battle simulator to get such a map?

I'd like to check if it still happens... I assume it is.
