Update. I made a slight mistake in the problem description. The problem is not in the workshop manufacture screen, but in the soldier equip screen. The armor dropdown shows only the "Soldier Uniform" and "Jackal Armor", but not the Wolf Armor, even though I've already manufactured some.

Hello all, I am playing with the Cybernetic Armor mod on Xenonauts 1.59 on Windows. I get the following dialog box when starting Xenonauts from Steam. "is not an item type name (Name='armor.jackal_3')! I also downloaded the Armor Resource package .zip file and extracted that into the assets/mods directory the problem is that even though I've researched Wolf Armor, I am unable to manufacture it, i.e. it doesn't show up on the armor list in the workshop screen. Any help appreciated. redmage

I figured out the problem. Apparently when deleting the game, steam doesn't get rid of the non-standard (i.e. modded) assets. Deleting them fixed the issue. I think I'll play without mods for a while until someone does a mega-pack so that the mods don't step on each other.

Is there any way to get some sort of debugging version that might let me print out a stack trace?

`Hmmm...It doesn't crash for me on loading it.

Here is the save...Note that this is a completely fresh steam install with no mods added. Crash001.sav Crash001.sav

Hi all, It now looks like the game crashes for me 100 per cent of the time when trying to click on the soldier equipment tab in the base screen. This seems to have happened after the automatic steam upgrade to 1.05 HF

okay, Is there any documentation on what mods might conflict?

Hello, I've been playing Xenonauts and have been trying out different mods, with mixed success. Some mods, like Jsleezy's real armors, seem to be difficult to install as extracting the files to the assets folder doesn't seem to work. Others seem to cause my xenonauts installation to crash, due, I assume to conflicts with other mods. Can someone recommend a comprehensive mod pack that combines the best mods so far into one installation? Thanks

I reported a bug with the soldier management screen not being able to see new hires. I got a response that this was a known bug, yet I don't see any fix for it in the 1.04 release notes. This is kind of a show stopper here. What's the release schedule for fixing this bug? -- redmage

Hello all, I can't seem to see any soldiers in the manage soldiers screen past 12. I.e. I can see 12 soldiers, but I can't see any others, even though I've been notified that new soldiers have been hired. Also, the Manage soldiers screen seems to be sort of cut off at the bottom. It would be nice if the screen was more centered on the page. Thanks -- redmage

I'm posting another save file. This one crashes consistently when the alien uses the teleporter to get to the first floor of a landing ship. Note, I've already followed the instructions to disable DEP, so, that doesn't solve the problem. -- redmage save 2.sa.sav save 2.sa.sav

I'm attaching a save of a consistent CTD. It seems to happen on the aliens turn during movement. -- redmage save 2.sa.sav save 2.sa.sav

Just out of curiosity, is the game written with C or C++? If so, are you using a static checker like lint when you do your testing?

This CTD seems to happen when the soldier him/her self activates an item and attempts to use it. Not only do I see the CTD with medikits (i.e. the soldier healing himself), I also see the CTD when a soldier attempts to throw a C4 explosive device as well.... Note, that I don't see the CTD when another soldier attempts to heal an injured soldier with the medikit. -- redmage

I can also confirm the Medikit CTD. I can upload save file if necessary

Hi all, Unfortunately, the Hotfix has still not fixed the CTD that I'm experiencing. I'm not sure what's causing it. The game crashes on the alien's turn 100 per cent of the time. I'm uploading my current save file. -- redmage save 2.sa.sav save 2.sa.sav

I have to second this. The game has become unplayable at this time. The CTD's during ground combat are continuous. -- redmage

I'm attaching a save file. When an equipped c-4 explosive pack is thrown, the game consistently crashes to the desktop. save 2.sa.sav save 2.sa.sav

Yeah, but we're not using civil war muskets, we're supposed to be using modern day weaponry (Think M16's) While we do have friendly fire incidents in real life. how many of them are soldier A shooting soldier B in the back from a few yards away? -- redmage

My beef is that I seem to be playing in Flatland. It seems like the game code doesn't allow people to do things like lean around objects to be able to fire. If soldier A is on a level above soldier B and soldier A is firing at a target, (and soldier B is theoretically on the same line) I shouldn't be hitting soldier B at all. But because there doesn't seem to be a realistic calculation of when an object can and can't get in the way of a shot, I see these really absurd friendly fire and/or blocked shots. It's really taking away from the enjoyment of the game... -- redmage

Folks, Having played Xenonauts for a bit now (I bought in on Steam in early dev), I have to say that the way that the game handles things like when an object blocks shots and/or friendly fire leaves a lot to be desired. For example, when I'm behind a tree, if I aim at an alien, it *hits the tree*. I have to use a TU to physically move my soldier from behind the tree in order to shoot things. The whole issue about objects in the game (like small rocks) blocking shots from trained soldiers is absolutely ridiculous. Has no one else complained about this? Is this a game engine issue or a design decision? If the latter, I'd really like to see the devs fix this. -- redmage

I've uploaded a save file... -- redmage Autosave3.sav Autosave3.sav

Is the Reaper a two-legged equivalent of a UFO enemy unknown Chryssalid? If so, than that's exactly what happened to me. I see the enemy, it moves for one turn and then everything hangs. I suspect we're running into the same bug. -- redmage

I'm still having trouble with uploads. I can now select the file to upload, however, when I try and click on "upload file", nothing happens... -- redmage
