canshow Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Oh god ... this what you get from giving aliens "wings".Can you upload save file ?Someone will check it tomorrow or tonight (I know that I am not going to because I am barely awake). Sorry, I didn't make a save that would be a turn before that bug happened. TBH, I made over 25 saves and I have already spent 1 turn through them all to check if the bug would insta appear. I will upload two files, one that is at the beginning of the battle (autosave), and one that is a little through it (base d 7). The game would get stuck when one of them would appear at the last tile of my visual range, but only rarely and this has happened maybe 4 times through the course of the scenario. Anyways, there is a caesan trapped in a room to the bottom right, in the later save. He is one that would bug out if I made a certain move (i think back to one of my dead bodies?) with one of my two marines guarding the hall to him. In a later save he would also shoot through a cracked wall. That's about it though, I can't give anymore details unless you want to tediously go through all of my saves. [ATTACH]4479[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]4480[/ATTACH] As a sidenote, these are the only aliens that gave me this problem in this scenario.

TacticalDragon Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Let me check something please guys. When you download the zip pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canshow Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 With-in hours of the release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalDragon Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) The saved games run smooth and perfect I believe that your steam UPDATE the files to 1.07, thats replace the launcher XENONAUTS.EXE Make sure to reapply the game files, download the pack again and make sure that your USING the launcher in the mod. Im pretty sure that the problem is: XNT Launcher Run Initiative calculations with different equation than vanilla, when an alien appear in LOS the system run the equation. If the launcher is the vanilla one the system crash. Edited June 26, 2014 by TacticalDragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gengis Dhen Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi the team I have a game breaking bug - I'm at "Capture a live Officer" in the campaign, I have researched the relevant projects but I do not have stun batons or grenades. I have a clean install and no other mods. My only option is to make them Unlimited in items.xml for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grenades and stun baton are not unlocked by "Alien Biology", after you finish the "Stun Weapons" research is unlocked. I already check the files and everything is correct. Check if "Stun Weapons" are unlocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gengis Dhen Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Wow Td - Dont you sleep! OK, I got it then. "Stun Weapons" is new to me and I have to research that separately. Got it and thanks again! Good night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gengis Dhen Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 What about the bug I found in thread number 93? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentelin Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 We are aware of it and that's issue with animation.Problem is that it will take a lot of time to fix it and right now our hands are full with surprise we are preparing.Also it's just visual annoyance and doesn't affect game play in anyway (at least not for most people) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentelin Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) NEWS NO.46 Hotfix patch is available for download here LINK *For more information about changes read description and change log of hotfix that can found in the last post of main thread (follow link above) *Hotfix patch will not break your saves however if you have ground mission in progress,you should finish first that mission before applying this hotfix Edited June 26, 2014 by Sentelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyver Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 you guys are the goddamn reincarnate evil. corvette crash site: containing the entry route quite easily, until FROM NOWHERE pop up the alpha prime beast, i just panicked (and most of my men too, surprisingly) and rushed all of them to the chinook. guess what? HE GODDAMN LEAPED INSIDE THE CHINOOK! >_< i was like "wtf he's flying????" lured out sacrificing one of the rookies, but the few others survived the escape! quite intense moment, this mod is just a masterpiece! also loving the new xenopedia entry about different warheads and tips to play, very immersive and helpful.

Alewalek Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I have a question what is actualy changed in soldernames/females files, I was thinking to add xtended backround mod to this but not sure there is any important things changed comparing to vanila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentelin Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Don't do that because Theon is working on something similar that will be integrated in XNT:ID .Also it's not about soldiernames/female files but strings.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alewalek Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Not sure is it by purpose but there is no High speed interceptor tech and we get 2 planes for just reserching alien invasion, not sure why this change? I also asked about aimed shot few post back why it was removed. I am not proposing changes to that just like to know motives behind those changes if mod has to make things better iam thinking whats beter in that. About aliens shooting stun guns from start u can capture them alive before reserching alien biology and stun guns, I realy think that shoting this from start its just beter for me less chalanging, less fear factor faster some techs that i shoudnt be able to start reaserching etc. Thanks.

From change log that you obviously didn't read: Aircraft progression changed, Player start with Apollo, F17 and Su-T10, to unlock a new aircraft player need to recover and dissemble a UFO craft (Corvette - Mig31 Foxtrot, Landing Ship - Sarracen, Cruiser - Corsair, Carrier - Marauder, Marauder - Fury) I also asked about aimed shot few post back why it was removed. I am not proposing changes to that just like to know motives behind those changes if mod has to make things better iam thinking whats beter in that. Removed ?Chris didn't allow that option for thread creators,that can only be done by moderators of forum. Can you please repeat what you wrote there because I missed that post. About aliens shooting stun guns from start u can capture them alive before reserching alien biology and stun guns, I realy think that shoting this from start its just beter for me less chalanging, less fear factor faster some techs that i shoudnt be able to start reaserching etc.Thanks. This is meant to be.You will still need alien biology,stun weapons to capture leader if you want to progress further in-game at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alewalek Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Why aimed shot was removed not the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentelin Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I will give best answer I can.It's removed because of new weapons Warhawk,Warhawk II and Parango GH301which have laser attach to them (kind of new "weapon" mod).So they have snap,normal and aimed shot (which is very precise and this was only way around we can do it without source code ).Also some rifles and snipers later in the game have very high accuracy and if they have aimed shot enabled,in most cases you would have 100% chance to hit target (unless it's under heavy cover but even then you would received higher aim bonus than you should otherwise).

Alewalek Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Ok this sounds logic. Thanks. Few of my thaughts about mod 10 missions 1 dead soldier, I play with 2-3 shields (very bad stats) soldiers and in vanila always was loosing at least 1 per battle casue I am usualy charging with them a lot to scout and take enemy fire. In this mod i play exacly the same way, and soldiers goes down every batle, 2-3 sometimes 1soldier twice but only unconscious. GC battles seems to have more variety and denisty of aliens but instead of losing more soldiers- which is logic - I lose less. I dont think anymore this change is bad I am sure its bad at least in my opinion. From what i read about this mod i expect a lot chalange later on, but early game balance was somehow lost here, game is at the moment way to easy. Not sure anyone has the same experience, but my first gameplay month was peace of cake on veteran. Same i think about economy, we start with way to much money so u can build 2 bases straigh away and cover 2/3 of continents, build new planes without strugling with funds so in 1st month u can have at least 7 planes to cover air. When I was playing same ammount of time in vanila, i was strugling to build some planes and was only to able build second base. Some changes goes in right directions but some oposite in bad. For example eggs: u can kill them with burst fire from rifle but not normal hhm why? I will not ask why u cant kill them with shotgun maby there is some kind of explenation but still. Dont take those things like giving out I am just sharing my experinece with mod to make it beter, if those thigs i wrote are only my opinion then fine but this is what i think. And question not related to mod: why the heck when unconscious soldier get up all his gear is on the ground? Did he unpack his backpack and belt and put everything on the ground before fainting? Does anyone was thinking to change that, is it posible? Edited June 26, 2014 by Alewalek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanPride Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I actually like the wound/death modifications. In the previous version, it seemed like inevitable death if any of my operators were wounded because the bleeding rates were very high and since either they or their medic usually panicked at the sight of blood, they were usually dead within 1-2 turns. Now in 5.2, I actually have an opportunity to conduct first aid and keep my operators in the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alewalek Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I didnt say i dont like this, what i said is that using stun guns by aliens in early game braking early game balance u can easily go trough mission without losses. It should be posible to go without losses if u good enough but not when game make its easier for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be posible to go without losses if u good enough but not when game make its easier for you. From all my gaming experience so far I can tell that early game is meant to give player opportunity to prepare for what awaits him later.Core of every game of this type is mid and late phase .In vanilla,start maybe more difficult but as you progress further and further in game it becomes walk in park (Last time I played vanilla I lost only two soldiers and that was after 4 months in-game).Here are things opposite.Also on what difficulty are you playing ?And there is another reason why this build may feel "easy" (not all people are you have that in mind) is that we slowed down alien invasion progress but in hotfix we are reverting to old changes since it has some negative effects.

ventuswings Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Do you know when the hotfix will be coming out? I just had my first indefinite AI hang fighting purple things (Gargols?) and due to my unwise save organization, have to throw the whole run out (although it's only the third mission).

Sentelin Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 That really depends.I have version but I am not going to upload until everyone confirm that's everything inside.However I will most likely update it later this afternoon (tonight) or tomorrow morning .

I am playing on veteran u asked before. If its like u say then we shall see. I hope game will not thorow everything she saves now, on me in one time it will be unfair:P About dificulty level whats the difrence beetwen insane and veteran anyone knows? I mean in GC and geoscpae, invasion faster what else? Edited June 26, 2014 by Alewalek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
