No time right now.
But I'll give it a spin during summer holidays.
Anything coming from you can only be pure gold :)

Oh, sorry, I forgot to send you the answer.
Yeah, you asked for any typos, but there were too many, I just wanted to gather them all, but I did not get too far into the game. I need alive goblin to unlock magic, but getting alive enemies in a safe way is impossible. I still like it a lot. Pics are GREAT, and always relevant.
I am a bit confused about the lasers, though. Are we supposed to have them, or are they there just for testing purpose?

Edit: How do I fix the typos and how do I send you fixed version? You should replace the "Heawy Weapons" with "Heavy Weapons" as soon as you can, though, it really sticks out.

Yes, lasers are a test items.
About typos: you can fix them in a file "language/en.yml", and then upload it here.

Fixed that, too. Missing lookup, apparently.

Tried your mod today, very interesting and unusual, good luck to you! It's cool that you use new mechanics, it will be very interesting to see the development.

I was away from the forums, so I did not notice the update, but I'm watching this with close interest. Kudos on new designs, this looks like beginnings of something really huge. Don't stop work on it - few oxce mods are on the quality levels of yours. I notice how much X-Piratez grafix you take and improve - it makes me feel really good, that it can serve other modders to help doing awesome work!

Seems interesting. Once I finish my XCF playthrough, I should try this.

Found 2 critical bugs, disallowing to launch game in new OXCE:
1. hunters have nonexistent item STR_HUNTING_RIFLE_CLIP (I assume they should have STR_HUNTING_RIFLE_AMMO)
2. some enemy has nonexistent item STR_ARCANE_CLAW (I assume should be STR_ARCANE_CLAW_1).

edit: there is more of it - missing corpse items for a bunch of armors:
Error processing 'CHRYSALIS_ARMOR' in armors: Missing battle corpse item(s).
Error processing 'DIGGED_FIRE_OSTRICA_ARMOR' in armors: Missing battle corpse item(s).
Error processing 'SPITTER_1_ARMOR' in armors: Missing battle corpse item(s).
Error processing 'SPITTER_2_ARMOR' in armors: Missing battle corpse item(s).


Edit2:
Testing so far - budget is rather tight, and soldiers die in droves. I'd consider cutting their hiring cost in half.

This looks really really awesome!

I am curious to play it but noticed that the soldiers start with (really overpowered) Laser Rifles. Is this intended?

Ok. Almost no balancing is done at this point.

Laser rifles are a test items, you can ignore them.

Re: battle corpses
Even if they disappear, the game demands some sort of an object, visible in battlescape, from EVERY armor. I assume these are for units that transform - well it doesn't matter, but I think "None" won't work. I simply give such armors either same corpse as the final stage, or something similar; or if it IS final stage, but you don't want a visible corpse, give them something with blank bigob and floorob, and inventory size 0x0. Anyway it's just sanity check, and no choice but to play along - OXCE will just refuse to start otherwise.
