OXCE (OpenXcom Extended) main thread

You need the "alternate movement methods" user setting turned on (the one that enables running and strafing).

It was the tank type. Tanks with 85mm or 60 cannons have fixed turrets, they cannot turn it. You can also see on the sprite as the turret and tank body is shaded and rendered to flow together way too photo-perfectly.

While the Cars with automatic grenade launchers have a tiny turret, which is easily separated into its own sprite. Because of the separation the shading and rendering is not continous, but a clear edge made of black pixels.

Rotatable turrets for the tanks would have been a lot of extra work.

OK, no problem.

I don't even know which tanks or even which mod you're talking about.
Mod questions normally belong to mod threads, try to keep this thread for engine questions

Engine's bug, maybe.
No TU cost is shown for travelling in flying suit from a craft with a ramp to a place somewhere near the right side of the craft, on the same 2nd level. It happens only when the flying unit needs to move diagonally on the ramp in order to get around another unit standing on the ramp. See the picture and the saved game (X-COM Files mod).

Another bugreport from the same battlescape, about floating weapon.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Kill a floater flying in the 3rd level with powerful plasma to get the body disintegrated.
2. Watch floater's weapon floating in the air on the same 3rd level.

The lucky shot was made with Fire glove, it is X-COM Files mod.

There is a save in the attached ZIP, it was made right after the shot.

And what's the problem?

The unit is not flying through that tile, it flies diagonally.

We'll have a look at this.
If not difficult, it will be fixed.

Thanks!
As for the previous post:
There are no tiles with TU cost shown between the "24" one and the cursor. Marked this area with orange colour.

Although not familiar with the geometry of that craft. It could be that the shortest path (according to the algorithm) is by going up one (or multiple?) level(s), which will not be visible in that screenshot.

Just to be sure: did you check if those numbers are not visible when using the viewpoint with an additional layer (mouse-wheel up on my system)?

Not sure if this this is intended or an issues, but the sell/sack screen has inconsistencies , middle or right clicking on items some times shows the ufopedia, sometimes shows the research tree and sometimes nothing even when the research is completed and has the ufopedia page accessible.

I would expected it would function the same as in the craft equip armament screen where middle right clicking would bring up the ufopedia.

[Meridian]

Right-click doesn't do any of that.
Right-click always shows the manufacturing dependencies.

Middle-click used to always do just the research tree in the past (nice and consistent), but people wanted to have also Ufopedia, so now both are supported (in a complicated way) as follows:

for items:
1. Just Middle-click opens research tree if possible... if not possible, open Ufopedia... if not possible, nothing
2. CTRL+Middle-click opens Ufopedia if possible

for craft:
Middle-click opens Ufopedia

Thanks Meridian!

Something else I noticed, when changing the game release under mods, from ufo, tftd, or x-com files. each version doesn't retain it's own copy of setting under the advanced options.

I know some mods, like twots and x-com files specifically sets, changes and locks out options like, x-com files sets explosion radius to 2, but when I go back to tftd or ufo, those setting stay changed.  It would be nice to have the advanced setting stored and remembered for each game type.

As designed.

You can either use multiple installations of OpenXcom...
...or just have multiple shortcuts for each mod and specify the user and/or config folder as a command-line parameter.

Here is the save.

I did not check it in the multilayer mode, because I checked it in other way. Just move the agent standing on the ramp and the numbers will appear. The save is in the previous post. The mod is X-COM Files, if you want to check yourself.
