OXCE (OpenXcom Extended) main thread

I don't have recording software to show you problem, only what I can say is try set save scumming on and reload before using launcher. When enable it the missile hit but when I turn it off it miss. I think it's RNG and this weapon still can miss. If I found how record it I'll post it here. New OBS absolutely terrible I can't even capture game window

[Meridian]

can you give me exact [x,y,z] coordinates of all 4 waypoints?

(click on a tile in debug mode to show the coordinates in the top left corner)

Here we go: 19,48,0 for first 19,48,3 is second 29,32,3 third and 29,32,2 last. Did it few times to make sure what I set way points in same place. I'm using guy in gold armor in front.

Yes, the missile went above the top floor.
Normal behavior, launchers also have (usually small) trajectory deviations like normal weapons.

To prevent it, send the missile along z-level=2, that way it won't go off the map.

Ok, thank you for investigation and explanation, much appreciated. And seems that's why aliens sometimes miss with it too. To be honest I'm glad of last fact, because it's give you chance survive on open space map.

I hope this is the right topic to ask my question.

When you're on the ground and if you try to retrieve an object, you get the message "Alien object" as long as no search has been done!
It's perfect!
But at the end of the mission we see the name of the object. This makes future searches much easier. Especially for very old players like me!

In several other games of the same kind as UFO/TFTD one knows the name of the object only after research. In the meantime we see in stores and in the laboratory "alien object" or "alien weapon"!

So my question is simple: is it possible to do the same thing in OXCE?
Tks !

no

Clear... fast and accurate! 
What a shame!

So I've set up my OXC and OXCE installs (both standalone) in separate folders on non-system partition (Win7) and noticed there is a clash between the two because they both use the same options.cfg file in Documents folder. OXCE reads OXC settings fine initially, but after I make changes in OXCE and run OXC, extra options from OXCE are wiped when I run it again and need to be set again.

Is there any way to force separate config for each? For example to use OXC for vanilla games and OXCE for mods, without needing to adjust extra options every time OXCE is ran after OXC. Thought the strength of standalone was keeping stuff localized inside their own folders. Took a quick look at XPiratez and it handles it locally, inside dedicated .\user subfolder. There's gotta be a simple trick I missed.

EDIT (as I'm writing this no less...): Aaand indeed there is. Or, if one is feeling extra adventurous. Standalone powah!
Honestly didn't expect search engine to find an answer but I gave it a shoot anyway (bit too late). Gonna hit Post anyway, maybe someone finds it amusing if not helpful.

I have a question about pilot system. If interceptor weapon has 50% accuracy and pilot bring 15% accuracy bonus how it affect weapon on board? Will it change to 65% total? What exactly those 15%? Same for dodging bonus. Thanks in advance.

[Meridian]

Yes, it will be 65%.

They add up.

[Ethereal]

Thank you so much for the update. A lot of useful things. Especially impressive is the opportunity to finally create a branch of specialized cargo ships.

[efrenespartano]

Thank you so much for your efforts, mate! You are such a good man, Meridian.

I totally love the new Event additions you have made, I've been waiting for them since a long time

Gentlemen may I ask question about Psy/MC attacks - what circumstances trigger it? Let's set all option to defaults - I mean what aliens can attack regardless of line of sight. When they exactly start doing it? When they spot x-com units, when certain amount of turns has passed or something else? What priority they will use? Weak Psy/MC units, high ranked units or units with most powerful weapons in hands?
