Strange stuff with light intensity (personalLight end lighting items). 10 or less illuminates almost nothing, more than 20 means I don’t feel any increase in illumination. And most importantly, I couldn’t find information about this anywhere. I suggest you check, find out the maximum value of light intensity and add this information to the "Ruleset Reference".

Tile light levels are between 0 and 15.

Divider between "night" and "day" is 9 or 10 by default, not sure. Can be modded.

Item light level 20 will still illuminate nearby tiles with light level +15 (maximum), but it will spread further (bigger illuminated circle).

Thank you. Now it is clear that above radius 14 the backlight does not work https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=File:FlarePattern.png. As I thought, personalLight can be set above 20, but it will not give anything. This is what I ask you to include in the description of the parameter.

That's not what I said.

I said that higher number (e.g. 20) will not give you higher light intensity, but it will give you higher radius.

I can be wrong, but that's how I remember it from PirateZ.

There is global limit for max light radius for units, it could be possible by default be around 20.

We both turned our attention to the tile lighting at the same time, and I also just finished working with a new lighting system. I set the body of my aircraft to 5 (light power 5), individual parts to 10 (holograms, light bulbs, all light sources that should emit light), now when I play at night, the body of my aircraft is visible, but it is still darkened (does not sparkle) like a Christmas tree), it’s better to play like that than to appear in a black hole. Also with the UFO, the light bulbs are set to 10 (they shine, but not much), the backlight inside the UFO is set to 5 (also not complete darkness inside the UFO, but not daylight either, just in moderation).

Tell me what kind of command this is and why it doesn’t work for me (maybe it doesn’t work on Android)
Spoiler:
Code:
###facilities:
###  - type: STR_HANGAR_C
###    crafts: 4
###    craftSlots:
###      - [-17, -17, 0]
###      - [17, -17, 0]
###      - [-17, 17, 0]
###      - [17, 17, 0]
I downloaded a mod that had this large hangar for 4 planes, there was also this “craftSlots” command, it should place the aviation sprites in different places on the hangar sprite, but no, you can still only see the sprite of one plane in the center of the hangar.

The mod uses features which are not available in vanilla OXCE so I think this is the wrong place to ask this question.

I think I understand, this function probably works in OXCE Brutal-AI
In that case, I apologize for disturbing you (Well, they made different versions, it doesn’t work there, but here it is).

Is it possible to make it so that sometimes weapons fail during a mission? Then it would make sense to buy more of it and take more of it with you on missions.

Do mods have options?
For disabling or enabling some features in the current mod (not submods, but mod-options)

Mods can fix some existing options, to prevent players changing them.

WHere can I find 7.12.5 apk for android? OXCE v7.12 download & installation guide doesn't have that version

The latest official released version is 7.12

I did not release 7.12.5, use at own risk.
There is no apk build for android.

UFO Extender Accuracy option - Does it work for aliens too or only for humans?
