OXCE (OpenXcom Extended) main thread

[Surrealistik]

Are teleportation abilities currently possible with OXCE?

[Meridian]

No.

[Xom126]

Is it possible to spawn tiles with weapons? If not, could it be in the future? If you use a trap tal script, then this could create a curved analogue of smoke / fire.

[Surrealistik]

Any plans to add them?

Also wondering if it's presently possible to determine the source of a fatal wound, or if they can be flagged/tagged in some way so they can be a prerequisite for certain interactions/scripts; for example in the 40k mod, if a unit is wounded with Nurgle weaponry, they could be made to transform into a zombie upon dying, should they have that Nurgle sourced/flagged wound on death.

[Meridian]

I don't have plans to add teleporting. Or spawn tiles with weapons.

Vanilla fatal wounds cannot be flagged. But you can make a new attribute called whatever you like and use it to indicate a wound by a particular weapon using Y-scripts.

In OXCE 7.8.5 I changed how light is updated, this should improve performance on maps with multiple levels.
I welcome testing to check if new logic do not introduced some bugs.

Before the battle, one must choose a weapon, and different maps require a different weapons. So, it would help, if before the battle and weapon selection, player knew the type of map. Like, "Map: Urban" or "Map: Desert".

Auto finish mission in Advanced settings could maybe be improved slightly. The turn is ended immediately (even in the middle of a series of auto shots), yet when the turn is ended, for example primed grenades on the ground explode. (For example, if you set one down to be picked up by someone else, or a soldier has gone down with a primed grenade on earlier on the same turn - I have actually been bitten by this behavior once or twice). The immedate ending of the turn in the middle of auto-shots seems to be inconstent with the behaviour of ending the turn and exploding primed grenades. I would suggest that the end-turn phases such as grenades exploding would otherwise be skipped as well when the last alien dies.

[Meridian]

The grenade consistently explodes in both cases.

Anything else is (in my opinion) inconsistent.

If by your logic the preprimed grenades should explode, I think that by the same logic all the remaining auto-shots should be shot (for example, destroying equipment behind the final alien), instead of ending the mission immediately in the middle of a series of autoshots. How else could the soldier stop a series of autoshots being shot in the middle of the alien falling down when it's the final alien, but not when it's not the final alien?

Ok, I will fix the autoshots.

I just merged with the OXCE 7.8.5 commit from 4 days ago and now my game keeps crashing either when loading the battle-scape or when doing something in the battle-scape.
The weird thing is that the call-stack refers to something different all the time.
I wanted to try whether that also happens with the official OXCE 7.8.5 or only on my locally compiled build but I don't know where to download it. The official download-links only seem to have 7.8.0

That one also crashes for me as soon as I enter battle-scape. Same as my self-compiled merged version. It doesn't for anyone else?

The immedate ending of the turn in the middle of auto-shots seems to be inconstent with the behaviour of ending the turn and exploding primed grenades.

The sentence is phrased like you are complaining about auto-shots and not about grenades exploding in your hands.

I would suggest that the end-turn phases such as grenades exploding would otherwise be skipped as well when the last alien dies.

There is a better solution. When some soldiers are fatally wounded, there is a prompt "do you really want to end mission now?". I think similar prompt should be shown when there are primed grenades (with prime time 0) on the map.

Ok, I will fix the autoshots.

Oh, come on, it is not autoshots that are broken...
