OXCE (OpenXcom Extended) main thread

До зимы теперь ждать что-ли?

[Meridian]

If the question is when comes the next update, then the answer is this month (July 2022).

[Juku121]

Crash when trying to change (well, disable) display filter. OXCE 7.5.16, XCF 2.5 (with tweaks).

[Meridian]

this is above my paygrade no idea how the filters work

[Yankes]

at least backtrack show `OpenXcom::Surface::CleanSdlSurface(SDL_Surface*)` that our code was last that thing done before crash.
This mean if whole SDL is not corrupted it could be way to avoid this.

[Juku121]

Well, if it helps any:

• I recently moved computers and just pasted the whole OXCE install over.
  
• Disabling and re-enabling filters via options.cfg still seems to work.
  
• After I change filters in-game, there's heavy lag and the "do you want to keep this" box comes up for a little while before the total crash.

What do you mean by "just passed the whole install over"? The whole OS or just OXCE in particular?

Have you tried a fresh install (of OXCE)?

What do you mean by "just passed the whole install over"? The whole OS or just OXCE in particular?

OXCE plus the mod plus other necessities, of course. I also changed OS-s, so even if I wanted to do the first that wouldn't have worked.

Have you tried a fresh install (of OXCE)?

No, but I doubt it'd change much. A 'fresh install' of OXCE is basically pasting a few files over, anyway.

But just to satisfy my (and your) curiosity, I upgraded to 7.5.19. No change.

New OXCE v7.6 is up.

Thank you very much !

New OXCE v7.6 is up.

Thank you for your work and update.

Is there a way to disable the vanilla psionics calculation formula? Just turn it off so that the probability of a successful psi attack is 100% and is reduced only by the "psiDefence" parameter in armor, and increased only by the "accuracyXXX..." parameter in items.

[Yankes]

Yes, y-script hook `tryPsiAttackItem`, it is responsible for default algorithm, override `psi_attack_success` to any value you want (value `100` is 100%).

I am very weak in scripting, but I found this -

Code: [Select]

    tryPsiAttackUnit:
      - offset: 23   # for Scripted Items - Automatic Success
        code: |
          var int battle_type;
          var ptr RuleItem item_rule;
          var int energy_max;
         
          item.getRuleItem item_rule;

          item_rule.getBattleType battle_type;
         
          if eq battle_type 9; # scripted psi amp
            if or eq battle_action 13 eq battle_action 14;
              debug_log "PsiAttack with scripted item. Automatic success!";
              set psi_attack_success 1;
            end;
          end;
          return psi_attack_success;


Can this be used as a template for "tryPsiAttackItem"?

In addition, it is necessary that the psi-defense also depends solely on the "psiDefence" indicator in the armor.

[Yankes]

It could be, there are some differences between this too hooks, but basic scripts should be compatible between them, best is look in "verbose logging" to see what parameters are available in both cases, btw it should show too default script for `tryPsiAttackItem` that is responsible for attack algorithm.

Use this as template:

Code: [Select]

var int r;
set psi_attack_success 0; #override original value!!
random.randomRange r 0 55;
add psi_attack_success attack_strength;
add psi_attack_success r;
sub psi_attack_success defense_strength;
sub psi_attack_success distance_strength_reduction;
return psi_attack_success;
