[FIXED] Interception: make last shot hit [OXC]
« on: July 26, 2018, 11:41:26 am »
As many of you know, when on cautious or standard attack, if your interceptor runs out of ammo, it immediately disengages, causing the last shot to miss unless you hit aggressive soon enough.

I want to be able to choose a setting that makes aircraft automatically wait while the last shot is in flight, not disengaging until the shot either hits or misses.

Now I thought this had already been implemented, but I don't see an option for it anywhere. I don't remember where it was discussed, and I can't find the topic or anything else related.

It has already been fixed, in March 2018: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,6124.msg94049.html#msg94049

But it's not working, and I updated to the latest OXCE+ just two days ago. Maybe I'm derping out and missing something obvious, but I can't seem to get the effect to work.

Here's a test I just did... is this not happening for you?


1. last missile shot on cautious attack
2. missile flying... UFO not retreating
3. missile missed (unlucky :P)
4. UFO retreating

No, it's not happening.

I discovered that my OXCE+ file isn't updated, which is weird because I keep trying to install the update and everything seems to go as it should, yet the file isn't updated. All of the files in the directory have updated except for the executable. Even when I try to update it manually, it seems to do it, but doesn't.

edit: I found the issue. The name of the executable is different, so instead of overwriting the executable it made a second one. Once I deleted the old executable and used the new one, it worked.

Fwiw, thanks so much for fixing this, it was a real pita to always loose the last rocket.
