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.

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

You can wait for next version or download a snapshot here: https://lxnt.wtf/oxem/builds//Extended/Extended-7.1.1-8be08dd42-2021-09-29-win64.7z

[Yankes]

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.

TRANSFER screen shortcut request:

Right after finishing a mission I can ship the looted equipment to my research base. Can we please have a shortcut key "X" on that screen that transfers all equipment from the left side to the right side, so everything can be shipped to an other base (not where my ship is from) at a flip of a switch?
Thank You!
