OXCE (OpenXcom Extended) main thread

[Meridian]

Excuse me, as for the layered armors, please might someone explain what this feature readded in openxcom extended 7.5.2 does/allows to do?

it allows modders to create many complicated paperdolls a little bit more efficient
(for players, this feature is irrelevant)

likely just some side effect of modding... delete `battle.cfg` file and try again pls

...or maybe even upload that battle.cfg file here so that I can check what failed and try to handle it a bit more gracefully next time

I deleted battle.cfg and ran the game without any mods - same result.

I was able to reproduce with your options.cfg and with the official build

I will release a fix today

Confirm this error  (Fatal Error  when pressing "New battle")
 * error in  OXCE 7.5.1 & 7.5.2;   In 7.4.2 - all OK
 * deleted battle.cfg - same error
 * disable all mods - same error

Have you considered to enable discussions on your github repository? I like its realization in form of reddit-like posts with voting up and down

For the foreseeable future, I will stick to this forum only.
My todolist is already endless, and I don't have time to watch more than one place.

Can't we heal units, summoned from fused item?

I'm not aware of such limitation.

With oxce 7.5.3 I just got a ufo where the mission says "STR_ALIEN_RETALIATION_TERRO".  While it appears to be an issue with the "early retaliation fix" mod said mod worked just fine on 7.1.4.

Are the win64 version of OXCE 7.5.3 is compatible with android version OXCE 7.5.3?

I can use save game files from win64 version in android version, and vice versa?

The mod (current version from openxcom.mod.io) doesn't contain any translations.
Please report to the mod author.

Yes, they are 100% compatible.

Thank you for providing the update.

I've just installed OXCE V7.5.3 and the 'New Battle' crash seems to be gone completely.

Hi Meridian,

I have managed to create a build of OXCE inside Docker for my own purposes. It saves me having to install the sdl1.2 dependencies on my main Ubuntu install.

Would you mind if I published the build tools & instructions for the docker image to GitHub, and the docker image & run instructions itself to docker hub for others (probably no-one ) to use?

Just to be clear, of course the image would only contain the OXCE ubuntu binary build, and none of the assets (UFO/TFTD). They still need to be provided to the docker app (mounted) before it will run. Just like always.

It would make it a bit more convenient for me to run OXCE over multiple systems, and possibly for others, too.
