The building in the storm seizure mission has bugged stairs.  They seem to have floor over them, preventing you from going back down.  I only noticed after I got to the top, and had to shoot out a wall to escape.

Thanks! Fixed.

Another 0.7.1 report: as already wrote posts before, there are some fences in the farms maps that are passable, the right and left side displaied are. And the mac-10 being more powerful that the mpk5, with a 50 rounds magazine? I don't think it might be possible, peraphs these have their stats swithced? I don't know, but i really like the random output of certain interrogation  ;D

Save is attached :)

Edit: Having researched the abducted farmer i got the doctor's way debriefing, the same as i got before havinresearched a red dawn ganger. Maybe it is intended? :)

Edit 2: in a cult apprension misison (league) the title in the briefing screen is duplicated

Edit 3: in such mission captured a live female enemy, but there are some error in strings

Thanks, all fixed. (Except the double research, it's probably something else as you literally can't get it twice.)

I got "Werewolf" from a homicidal maniac, but I still can research the werewolf I caught.

Some things give more than one bit of information after a research, you can study them until you run out of those.  I don't know if werewolves are among those, though.  Another possibility is that you were researching the werewolf already, I don't think it cancels a subject you're already looking at if you get it for free.

There is a question. When you start the mission "Zombie Hive" crash occurs (either from the menu or the battle of the game). The file "TERRAIN / SIETCH.MCD" is missing. Forgot to download it?

No, I'm an idiot. Attaching a hotfix - please replace the file in Ruleset folder.

They were not in the previous version. This is why I asked.

No, I did not.

I checked the Tech Tree Viewer. There are not 1 but 2 "Werewolf" items! Probably 1 for the Ufopaedia article (or whatever the correct term is), 1 for the item. One is marked studied, the other is not.

It's because of:

Code: [Select]
      STR_WEREWOLF: "Werewolf"
      STR_WEREWOLF_TERRORIST: "Werewolf"

So the guy gives you STR_WEREWOLF (race), but it's the same string as STR_WEREWOLF_TERRORIST (unit).

But it's the same in vanilla: you have STR_SECTOID as a race and STR_SECTOID_SOLDIER as a soldier. The only difference is that the strings are not the same ("Sectoid" and "Sectoid Soldier", respectively).

In vanilla, Medics give info on races in the same way as the madman:

Code: [Select]
  - name: STR_FLOATER_MEDIC
    getOneFree:
      - STR_SECTOID

Thanks for explaining.

Can a medic give two items? What if a medic gives a "STR_..._TERRORIST" item, would it in turn give the species entry?

That's what I intend to find out. :)

Yes.

Finished research should give:
- the topic
- the topic's lookup
- getonefree (unless it's not so free, thanks to solarius)
- getonefree's lookup
- then "all non-disabled non-item-requiring unlocked zero-cost research not protected by requires unless it was the last requires that was just researched in the first place"... I hope you see from this sentence how f'ing retarded all these options and combinations are
- and after all this, it will recursively start again in case something new was added by the above

God help save our CPUs.

Another crash. To reproduce, load the attached quicksave and make Vincenzo Romano (the active agent) shoot the visible Red Dawn ganger.

Update: When this happened the first time, Vincenzo Romano had a red enemy indicator, but after restarts his indicator is now green. Does this mean the sniper-spotter mechanics makes him shoot through the wall?

And I'm pretty sure the indicator was red the first time I tried that.

There is a fix for the executable available on the XComFiles discord channel, otherwise an official executable fix should be released by Meridian by the end of this weekend.

Is it available on Github?
