Bugs, crashes, typos & bad taste

Another missing string - UAC Chaingun acquisition

It looks like you can't access a MC'd zombie trooper's inventory normally.  I had to do the old trick of going to someone else's inventory and scrolling.

You can mind control zombies?...huh... I kinda figured mind control didn't work on non humans / aliens.

Perhaps I should give the XCOM psiclone a try..

Sorry for not answering earlier, I had a very busy week.

Anyway, now all the reported bugs should be fixed... Well, except for the non-existing Incendiary rounds for the Light Cannon, as it's not a bug, it just hasn't been added yet.

You mean after its weapon was ripped from its body? If yes, then it's as designed.

Some more bugs.

STR_MALE_CIVILIAN_BODYGUARD - empty string.

The STR_UFO_CRASH_RECOVERY_BRIEFING string is shown instead of:

STR_DURATHREAD_FACTORY_BRIEFING
STR_KEEP
STR_MANSION
STR_MEDIUM_GROUND_CONVOY
STR_SMALL_GROUND_CONVOY
STR_MIB_BASE_LANDING
STR_MIB_TERROR_MISSION
STR_MIB_COVERUP_2

The gilldog is shown with the rocket as a weapon. The screenshot is attached. Does that work as designed?

Edit: one more thing - STR_NUCLEAR_HEAVY_LASER is called "laser" in the article while it should be "blaster".

No, it was still intact with a M.A.G.M.A shotgun.  I wanted it to reload, or rather put the shells in its hand since that's all it had the TU's to do.

I finished the Megaworm Autopsy, but it looks like the live one is still broken.

Arrrrgh!!!!

Sorry.... Fix attached.

Thanks for the quick response.  Unfortunately, I have another crash.  This one was on a hybrid convoy.

[Solarius Scorch]

Oh damn.

And I think I know why... But I won't be able to look at it today. (I am currently starving for modding time, which is why these recent bugs exist.) Hopefully this weekend.

Thanks for the quick response.  Unfortunately, I have another crash.  This one was on a hybrid convoy.

In alienDeployments_XCOMFILES.rul, find the following lines:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_MEDIUM_GROUND_CONVOY_TEMPERATE_HYBRID
    data:
    width: 50
    length: 50
    height: 4
    alert: STR_ALERT_MEDIUM_CONVOY_HYBRID
    alertBackground: CULT_BACKGROUND.SCR
    alertDescription: STR_MEDIUM_GROUND_CONVOY_TEMPERATE_HYBRID_DESCRIPTION

and remove the second line completely... the one which contains "    data:"

[Solarius Scorch]

Thanks Meridian. Attaching the fix here.

A problem was detected:

A problem was detected:

@Solarius: it crashes "somewhere" in the lighting calculation... I can't even say where, because the stack trace looks like Picasso's drawings of Egyptian hieroglyphs on a wooden tablet left to rot in the swamps for a million years.

It can be either code issue (I will report to Yankes) or map issue (may be worth checking roof of Tile [8,4,3], can't tell you what to look for tho forget that, it crashes on a different spot each time).

PS: somebody needs to go back in time and kill the guy who invented lambdas!! No joke.

There is one trick to better understand lambdas, you need think with portals

I will try find some time today to check this bug.
