1/ the comboboxes would be too small

Anyway, they are more than the destination line of a soldier in a transport or the destination line of an armor soldier.

P.S.
You can make the "OK" button much smaller.

2022-01-18
QoL:
- Indicate `maxRange` on psi and waypoint cursor types

Features:
- Melee terrain damage can target bigwall objects on the same tile: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,8634.msg143262.html#msg143262
- More debug info on the globe (countries, mission zone areas, etc.)
- Added soldier type default armor validation
- Ability for mods to ENFORCE a minimum OXCE version (`enforcedExtendedVersion` in metadata.yml) -- will be removed in OXCE 7.6 and solved differently

Scripting:
- Added new script hook `damageSpecialUnit` to process damage side effects:
  * explode on death
  * set on fire
  * fire extinguisher
  * morale loss from HP loss
- These side effects now also apply to the following special damage sources (before they didn't):
  * debug mode cheats
  * unit on fire damage (per turn)
  * unit in smoke damage (per turn)
  * OXCE enviroEffects damage (per turn)

Bugfixes:

To tag soldiers according to their functions and capabilities, players rename the soldiers. I propose to add the ability to mark soldiers in the list - using different font colors. (Assigning a color is similar to the "wear armor" function).
Since the game already marks (in font color) the soldiers added to the vehicle, I suggest marking only the Name of the soldiers.

There are only 5 font colors in UFO (3 already used) and only 3 font colors in TFTD (all 3 used).

You can add the ability to land transport ships (for repair and refueling with conventional fuel) in cities. The city in this case turns into a "temporary base" (with the ability to buy something or hire a rare one). As soon as the ship leaves the city, the "temporary base" disappears.

P.S. The city may have its own development options. The base city is opened on the globe (not in the list of the player's Bases). UFO can destroy some buildings in cities.

Thanks for the update. In win32 and win64, only "All countries not found in ru" confuses. Just was in stock, and suddenly "not found". And I did not find the untranslated lines themselves in the game.  %)

Ah, I missed that.

It's just a hardcoded string for debug mode, doesn't need translation.
I'll make sure it doesn't appear in the log file in the next version.

Yes, also check the weapon slots on the ships.

Thanks again for the update.

Where do I need to click for this to happen?

[Buscher]

This happens when you set different weaponTypes for craft weapon slots.

Code: [Select]

crafts:
  - type: STR_INTERCEPTOR
    weaponTypes:
      - [0,1]
      - 2

Start the test mod, go into the ufopaedia, select the interceptor page. Might require clicking the info button for stats for nerds. Then look into the openxcom.log.

Code: [Select]

[19-01-2022_18-32-38]   [WARN]  {0,1,0} not found in en-US
[19-01-2022_18-32-38]   [WARN]  {2} not found in en-US

Thank you, comrade, because my English is limping on all limbs.

And there is.

Thanks for 7.4.4 !
I went from version 7.3 to version 7.4.4!
But now I have a problem with an old Mod that was working properly until now!
And I don't understand! 

OXCE/UFO:

In both cases, the "extraSounds.rul" file does not refer to these indexes (76 or 1076 - 86 or 1086).

Thanks for 7.4.4 !

Whole point of validation is change random bug that crash game during play or make game misbehave to error during load.
This is critical for modders as only starting game will show most error in items, this is opposite to playing game for 1h to see if all items were defined correctly.

If you can't fix bug in mod you can reduce validation and risk that game will crash during play.

In 7.4.4 game check many sound and surfaces if they really exist in game.
