I have no idea how to navigate the UI for this site (the wiki, to be clear) to actually find anything. Am I especially dumb (I'm not in anything else, so far as user interfaces go, in my experience) or is there something I'm missing?

I assume you're talking about xcf.trigramreactor.net. You have three choices:
 1) enter a search term in the top left corner
 2) browse certain limited categories in "Categories" tab
 3) click on the rather heavyweight Gun Profiler.

99 % of my usage entering a search term, for example, when typing "Vampi" you get various choices related to Vampires (the monsters and the Vampire Castle mission). For example, by searching for and opening a mission you can see which enemies are going to be deployed there, what kind of properties they have (e.g. sniper/spotter characteristics, weaknesses) and what kind of loot there might be. You can also use it as a tech tree viewer, though the inbuilt one is better for that.

OK, understood, thanks. (I was talking about the site you were referring to, yes.)

By the way, who is responsible for xcf.trigramreactor.net, how do you report bugs?

I have noticed some things that appear to be missing from there for no apparent reason. As a recent example, Alien Colony Assault (STR_ALIEN_BIG_BASE_ASSAULT) doesn't appear to be there, even tough the regular alien base assault is. I wonder if there is some more generic bug that makes some ruleset definions go missing.

Works fine on my end, at least at the moment.

Yeah, I'm getting the same error, except the "Details:" are a bit different.

That's with Firefox and Opera, Chrome seems to be working, at least for now.

Interesting, now they all work again. Maybe it was a temporary blip. Or perhaps the whole wiki will be on fire come tomorrow? :P

Same here. Working on both again.

Though stalling a bit on Loaded file: /Language/de.yml

Chrome took a while to load but no more error.

Thanks gents

Are there any plans to make the source code public?

If I could offer one suggestion. It would be nice if we had categories for craft and AI unit equipment.

I'm just getting a blank page when I try to load the trigramreactor site today. Seems like it's broken.

Works fine for me right now, at least.

Hello

On the gun profiler, snap and auto shots do more damage.

I assume its taking into account multiple shots hitting the target?

The Blackops Auto Sniper Rifle for example:

The auto shot does more damage, but then drops off massively over distance.

Is the damage actually less at distance?

Or is this taking into account a higher chance to miss on some of the shots (ie all action points are used on auto shot)?

Thanks!
