Hi, using your mod with OXCE 7.3.
1. I may suggest adding new HW to starting base. Changed 'startingBase' rul file. see in attchment.

2. I added 2 new fire mods to Light Machine Gun, so now its 3 types of fire:
 - Auto snap shot: 3 rounds, low accurancy
 - Auto aimed shot: 3 rounds, high accurancy
 - Rapid shot: 5 rounds, lowest accurancy and low cost

Currently cant fix description strings in Ufopedia.

[Dioxine]

Code: [Select]

  STR_SHOT_TYPE_AUTO: " Auto (x{0})"
  STR_SHOT_TYPE_SNAP: " Snap (x{0})"
  STR_SHOT_TYPE_AIMED: " Aimed (x{0})"
Modifying language file like this will make the Pedia display correct number of shots for all firing modes. However, it won't display custom name for firing modes, there's no such option.

I will look into this.
Maybe there's something we can do...

Currently cant fix description strings in Ufopedia.

Add this to your language files:

Code: [Select]

  STR_SHOT_TYPE_SNAP: "Snap (x{0})"
  STR_SHOT_TYPE_AIMED: "Aimed (x{0})"
edit: oh nvm Dioxine already had the answer!

I would just like to say, that this gun has custom sound and custom bullet sprite to emulate short burst per shot.
That means 5 "shots" are actually 5 short bursts.

Thatnk you for help!

That is totally ok. 5 shots sould like 5 bursts, same as 3 shots sound like 3 bursts.

Also, game supports arc shots so granage launcher also may have 2 mods: linear shot and ark shot.

That's true. I was thinking about ark shot initially as I found it more intuitive, but I quickly learned that ark shots and explosives don't really like each other. Especially indoor.

I've added new fields for custom short names in the ufopedia.

Example:

Code: [Select]

items:
  - type: STR_RIFLE
    confAimed:
      shots: 4
      name: STR_BIG_BOOM
      shortName: STR_BIG_BOOM_SHORT
    confSnap:
      name: STR_SMALL_BOOM
      shortName: STR_SMALL_BOOM_SHORT
    confAuto:
      shots: 2
      name: STR_SMALL_BOOM_X2
      shortName: STR_SMALL_BOOM_X2_SHORT


Code: [Select]

extraStrings:
  - type: en-US
    strings:
      STR_BIG_BOOM: "Big boom"
      STR_BIG_BOOM_SHORT: "Big (x{0})"
      STR_SMALL_BOOM: "Small boom"
      STR_SMALL_BOOM_SHORT: "Small"
      STR_SMALL_BOOM_X2: "Double boom"
      STR_SMALL_BOOM_X2_SHORT: "Small (x{0})"

Feature will be available in OXCE 7.4.1
