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.

Issue found and fixed (hopefully).

Thanks goes to Stoddard.

I'd like to hope that this measure is really temporary.

Load order changed.

Meridian, thanks to you and Stoddard. Waiting for updates.

I bet i saw somewhere something about shot vapor in ufo1. A weak ago or like that. But now i can not find it. Is it possible?

Many thanks.

Also, looks like a bug:
I am testing growing alien bases, and i see this situation:
1. aliens landing for base building.
2. ranger fly near landed b-ship for search base location.
3. base found, but not near ranger. It can be in thousand of kilometers, but founded by ranger, patrolling near UFO.

upd: here is minimod for testing.

Upd. 2:

And on depth level = 0 no vapor possible?

and which part of this is the bug?

If you mean that the base is not built where the UFO lands... that's normal... bases are never built where UFO lands.
Bases are built already when the UFO spawns (not when it lands)... and they are built in a random place defined by the "spawnZone" areas of the alien mission.

Upd. 2:And on depth level = 0 no vapor possible?

Not at the moment.
That would break TFTD.
But I can probably make it optional, if you want it... what's the intended use case?

Bug is, that ranger patrols in area of ufo landing, and alien base became visible far far away from there. like patrol in Spain and base in Norwegian.
And it is not coincidence, if no ranger patrolling - no base found.

About vapor - because beams was not supported by community, i wanted to create "smoke shot" for some unusual weapons.

What is the sight range of the ranger?
Default is 1696 (about as much as displayed on the screenshot)... which is enough to spot a south norwegian base from central spain

[Nord]

 Default is 1696???
Gosh... Twenty times more than i expected.
Ok, my fault. Sorry.

We all know that downed UFOs explode power units. And where is it regulated and what determines the strength of their explosion? And is it somehow regulated?

in the source code

and what determines the strength of their explosion?

RNG (180-250, HE)

[Ethereal]

RNG (180-250, HE)

Can this be taken out into an adjustable global option?

[Meridian]

what's wrong with it?

[Ethereal]

Just want more control over the game. For example, the spread of damage is more to do, the type of damage is changed, the probability of an explosion for each UFO is different, and so on.

Would be nice to be able to set explosion (with custom parameters like power) to a given specialType (in terrain), not just Power Sources.
