OXCE (OpenXcom Extended) main thread

[Meridian]

Is there any reason the the sorting option "First Letter" isn't fully alphabetical?  I mean, it's REALLY close, but not quite. 

"I have approximate knowledge of many things"

It's fully alphabetical since today.

Noticed that opening doors seems to require energy in OXCE (even though none is consumed) whereas it doesn't in OXC. Also, when you attempt to open a door but don't have enough energy, the "Not Enough Time Units" message is displayed.

This is with v5.3.2 / 2019-03-18

Yes, it's a known issue.

I'll look at it again soon.

What did you do with the sound in the latest version? After the upgrade has changed the sound of death of Sectoids and shock plasma. I didn't do anything myself. I really do not like these changes and please return the sound settings to their original state.

P.S. In general, I found the original sounds in the "wav" format and the situation ceased to seem the End of the World.

P.P.S. Apparently the problem is reading."cat" file.

Can you share the CAT file that is causing the problem?
(or the entire content of your SOUND directory and your options.cfg file)

Yes I can. And ".log" in the appendage. Strangely, a lot of things have been written in ".log", but everything works exactly as intended. And about the sound is nothing.

You can transfer your saves from openxcom to openxcom extended without problems. From PC to Android.
But if you transfer saves from openxcom extended to openxcom (from Android to PC) you will lose some information.

I would recommend updating your PC to openxcom extended too... but the decision is yours.

Thanks a lot, I'll do that.

Another question,  if I install oxce I will have to patch games manually or is like openxcom?

Thanks in  advance

It's the same like downloading openxcom nightly as zip.

Meridian, do I have to dig at myself in order to identify the problem of sounds, or will there be a bug fix in the next version of OXCE?

I have not had a chance to look at it yet... I will try it today or tomorrow.

But if you can help, that would be nice.

I am not a programmer. But apparently there is an offset when playing a sound in the file "cat", in the folder "\ openxcom \ UFO \ sound". If you take the files "cat" from here https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2727.msg28562.html#msg28562 , then the sound will be strange, although this is the way out. But there the file size is smaller than from my version of the UFO, and some sounds may not suffice (did not check completely).
It is possible, as an option, to integrate this mod https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2044.msg19770.html#msg19770 into OXCE and forget about this problem.

I have reproduced the issue using your files, but I don't know how to fix it.
I have informed Stoddard (who was doing the recent changes), and waiting for his feedback.
