There wasn't much to update this time, but there are a few strings which may be worth updating. Also, I had forgotten previously to use the actual spellchecker to check spelling, so this update will have nearly all typos and misspellings fixed. I've been editing in Notepad++, and I don't want spellcheck on all the time, but it had been a while before I remembered to use it! Embarrassing! Sorry about that!

Enjoy!

please write a detailed research tree, and better draw, I will be very grateful

Ok, i will try. Not finished yet, but allready looks like brain tomography.  Maybe i can upload a raw .vsd, so anyone with Visio can move pieces as he want...

There it is, hope not forget anything.

I have a question to the engine mechanics of this mod.
While it works great and is fun with the supplied exe, using my custom built OXCE+ 3.5 proto exe causes a crash when opening any ufopedia entry. Message is: articleTFTD not found.
What could cause this?

Custom EXE is not self-contained.
It needs corresponding data files ("common" and "standard" directories) too... in this case you are using obsolete (=old) /standard/xcom2/interfaces.rul file

[Callahan]

Thanks for the info. Everyday I learn with this game. So much to discover. This OXC/OXCE+ is really an exciting project. The more I see, the more I am impressed by the scale of options and modability.

Version 2.09 is up.
Changelog:
 - new item: biogel injector.
 - new facilities: medbay, regeneration bay.
 - finished sprites for hybrid armor and advanced bionic armor.
 - rebalancing.
 - more bug fixes.

[Callahan]

Found 2 possible bugs.
Calcinite dissection uses Gillmen for resource.
Alien Colony's do not show icon on map, when clicked displays STR_TERROR_SITE

[Nord]

That again.. Oh.
Can you please provide the save with invisible base? Thanks

[Callahan]

I will attach the save tomorrow. I'm not at home right now.
If it is a known issue, it might be it was because I did not restart the game after upgrading to 2.09.
I discovered the colony by setting a waypoint for a craft. The colony might have been created while still on v 2.08

3 more things came across in v 2.09
Jellyman seems to lack 1 frame when walking on ground. That frame only shows the 2 arms, body is missing.
1 crash due to sound 1195 not found in battlesounds2.cat.
Combat was a Naga sub recovery at enemies turn.

2nd map of the alien bio reseach facility in surface mode with surface weapons.
From description, 1st mission part is surface, 2nd should be submerged.

2 old issues I remember from v 2.08. I'll just write them in case they have not been known yet.
Crash on Alien Barge mission start - map block TRITON could not be added. Seamaster worked.
On Alien barge mission, was able to fire downstairs through "seamaster" start tiles - and got fired upon in return.

Summarily this mod is great. A real good amount of unique ideas on how to use the plot as well as the items and aliens. Very creative.

[Nord]

Oh, that is quite a bug report. Thank you very much. Will fix as soon as possible.
About upgrade from .08 to .09 - i has hope that this bug from 2.07 was fixed right in 2.08. Was wrong.
Anyway, no new game needed to see fixed missions, only wait until new month started. Doesnt work with allready existing alien bases, though.
Upd.: yeah, looks like there is no possibility to make second stage of mission with different conditions from first...
