Although not familiar with the geometry of that craft...
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)?

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.

[Meridian]

Here is the save.

The tiles through which the pathfinding goes are still undiscovered, so the pathfinding doesn't render anything on them.

And before you ask, no I don't know why the ground tiles are discovered and one level above they are not.

Thank you for the investigation!

Touch buttons keep disappearing = Unselected

Clicking on the ≡ I can turn on Touch buttons display. It works for ~two of my soldiers, then when I switch to the next one, the touch buttons turn OFF.   

Is there a way to force these touch buttons to be displayed for the remainder of the battle?  OXCE 7.0 for XPiratez.  Is this a bug? 

I tried to upgrade to one of the latest OXCE nightlies, but unfortunately the latest versions give a nasty ARMOR definition bug when XPiratez is trying to load, so it doesn't load at all..

[Meridian]

Doesn't happen to me. Can someone confirm?

Yes, on reload everything resets.

Ruleset validator was updated.

Auto-update (Windows only) will be turned on after 2-3 weeks if no critical bugs are found.

Breaking change (as requested): Overriding 'ResistType' should NOT override 'RandomType' automatically anymore.

Example in OXCE 7.0:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_HADRIEX_GUN_CHARGE
    damageType: 9
    damageAlter:
      ResistType: 12

The unspecified `RandomType` was determined from `ResistType` (in this case from 12, which would translate into `standard damage`)

Same example in OXCE 7.1:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_HADRIEX_GUN_CHARGE
    damageType: 9
    damageAlter:
      ResistType: 12

--

The unspecified `RandomType` is NOT determined from `ResistType` anymore, it is determined from `damageType` as in vanilla (in this case from 9, which would translate into `no damage`)

Recommended solution is to specify the `RandomType` explicitly where required, e.g. in this case it would be:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_HADRIEX_GUN_CHARGE
    damageType: 9
    damageAlter:
      ResistType: 12
      RandomType: 8

Hello.
Was fixed an error with "STR_ALIEN_COLONY_" instead of colony name?
Thanks.

It's not a bug.

Some objects get that extra "_" in the translation string intentionally.
Not nice, but that's what has been done in OpenXcom many years ago and we're stuck with it now.

[Nord]

Oh. That's odd. But now i find these strings in vanilla language files, so I apologize. My mistake.

[Brimcon]

Not sure if this is a bug but it didn't happen before.
When moving units or firing weapons, the bottom UI blanks out.
Using 7.1, Happens in both X-COM Files, and Vanilla game.

It happened before for firing weapons (e.g. during autoshots).
It didn't happen when moving units, that's a bug.
Fixed here: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/OpenXcom/commit/18a9c23b55310f8f6445954ef308ddffac12aa89

Another thing fixed in 7.1.1 is crash when unit with reaction 0 react to attack.
As consequence of this fix y-script hooks for reactions have new argument `reaction_count` where is stored sequence number of current reaction to same event.
