Tom Sawyer Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Slayer you work fast indeed. Trying to meld all these together and getting them to play nice is epic. Kudos once more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Thief Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I do skim them, but again, when merging hundreds of files and lines of code.....*something* is gonna get missed. Yeah, I don't envy that task. I also found that the new T-80 tank armor was missing from the file too, so this is two fixes with a single stone! Thanks again for digging into this again man, its really appreciated. Again, glad I could help. If I find anything else I'll toss it up.

Ghostsniper64 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Found a bug with the UNSC weapons. When building a few of them, they actually build a different one, notably the MA5D Assault rifle actually makes the M45 Shotgun, the M45 Shotgun makes the M92 Marksman rifle, and the M92 Marksman Rifle makes the A-something Heavy Machine gun. I'm not sure if there are more than those issue. Also, question: Are the vehicles not supposed to have line of sight? Because my scout car doesn't seem to have it. Thanks.

TacticalDragon Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'd have to agree after giving it a play, having all of the redundant ballistics (redundancy in general) is kind of a big turnoff and mostly just serves to clutter up the screen. Might be worth it to consolidate some of the vehicles/weaponry into the most noteworthy/interesting examples. Everything else is pretty rad. Was trying to find a way to at least disable Magnut-nauts, but I suppose there's no way to disable just one of the mods, eh. As Victor Tadeu says add weapons is not easy task, need some balance in environment of the current game. In the practice with more content diversity is more confusing for players to identify the role of each weapon, for that reason XNT add weapons very carefully to keep a unit tactical role in combat. The same happens to equipment, aliens, armors, etc... Asymmetry Mod and Magnonauts are designed to vanilla, not for XNT, some of them can cause low damage or very high damage in comparison. Other critical point is that Accuracy/Wound/Training system is completely different in XNT when I design it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42orion Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I already knew it was an engine bug. Ive had it happen before....its strange that its now doing it to the laser ammo though, because before it wasnt. Maybe it was a bug introduced by v1.09 vanilla.....not really sure. Try v1.08 vanilla and see if it occurs there. I was trying v1.08 and same problem. No body have this duplication symptoms (charges to medikit and laser, plasma ammo)?? i am just wonder about it :-). So, i bought on steam old x-com and will be waiting by this old game for solving this bug, because this spoil the gaming experience .... It is a pity, that this engine bug destroys hard work of modders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadbourne Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Found a bug with the UNSC weapons.

I'm not sure if there are more than those issue. That's confirmed, encountered that too, however only for USNC stuff so far. Now my research seems to be bugged somehow. I've researched everything needed for the Researches.AlienPlasmaTechnology project, however it simply never appeared in the list for me. I tried bypassing it, by replacing other researches with the AlienPlasmaTechnology in the researches.xml, but that only gives me the xenopedia entry and that's it... Are there any reliable ways to "hack" this research in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirb Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Xenophobia does not contain Magnum-nauts. I believe you confused. And no, I do not offer optional files to disable any particular content, its a huge hassle to maintain already without having more files to update.Furthermore, if you dislike ballistics, simply dont research them and they wont appear in your equipment/manufacturing lists. Its not like you are forced to research them, so.... I dont know what your issue is with it being a "turn off". Huh! You're absolutely right; for some strange reason I thought Magnum-nauts had been in the mod list as a required component of Xenophobia, so I installed it as well. My bad. Huge relief though. Thanks for your hard work (and yours as well, TacticalDragon); will reinstall. Edited August 18, 2014 by Kirb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if there are more than those issue. Also, question: Are the vehicles not supposed to have line of sight? Because my scout car doesn't seem to have it. Thanks. Are you using v 1.4.6? I just fixed the vehicles. UNSC weapons are fixed in next patch. Was just a simple text issue. That's confirmed, encountered that too, however only for USNC stuff so far.Now my research seems to be bugged somehow. I've researched everything needed for the Researches.AlienPlasmaTechnology project, however it simply never appeared in the list for me.

Are there any reliable ways to "hack" this research in? Have you started a new game? And in what version did you start your present game? Again, this is a common bug with changing researches.xml while in the midst's of an already game-in-progress. If you had researched any of the requirements and the researches.xml for that tech was changed (which it was back in 1.4.2) then it'll mess up the unlock. Goto some tech you have on your list and inside researches.xml put UnlockKnowledge( "Researches.AlienPlasmaTechnology" ); there as a temporary hack.

Slayerjerman Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 i see Mig-32 Foxtrot in Xenopedia, but cant see in craft... XNT requires for you to have a items.corvettehull to unlock it..... something I am going to be changing in the next patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since magnum-nauts are in the credit, I thought it was included, but it isn't on the merged mods list. *Victor hurts himself in confusion* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really change the file manually, and for sure didn't change the plasmatech entries there. Goto some tech you have on your list and inside researches.xml put UnlockKnowledge( "Researches.AlienPlasmaTechnology" ); there as a temporary hack. If you mean a non-researched tech, then I already wrote it doesn't work. Just gives me the xenopedia entry and no other researches unlock after that.

asierus24 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) the issue with the MIGs still there, when you research Copperation with URSS it says it unlocks 5 planes : mig 21 mig 23 mig 29 mig 31 and su 27 but i only get 2 planes for manufacture: su 27 and mig 29, and the xenopedia entries for mig 21 mig 23 and su15, but cant manufacture mig 21,mig 23, mig31 (i suppose this require more reseach) su 15, i researched all cooperations, xnt planes and light interceptors still not here, maybe they are not implemented(their hangar pictures are here anyway)? - some pistols like the ballistic auto pistol and the high powered pistol still get the no shield bug animation, -another one i found its that dermal regenerator and metabolism accelerator can be manufactured but cant be found on equipment menu in any submenu. but i think this has been already reported -im sure its my game but, sometimes i get freeze/crash after pass turn when i have androns/drones in the ground combat. -another one in the unsc weapons if you build the submachinegun it gives you the grenade launcher and if you build the grenade lancher it gives you the assault rifle Edited August 19, 2014 by asierus24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayerjerman Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) ALL previous patches included. Fixed a bunch more missing animation files for pistol weapons + shields. Fixed more missing animations for "checked" alien weapons that you can manufacture. Fixed crash when clicking AMMO tab after unlocking Mag weaponry/multi-ammo ALLOY magazine. Fixed USSR aircraft unlocking problem, now it properly unlocks all 5 USSR aircrafts. (fix is not retroactive, so if you've researched USSR aircraft already, only fix is a new game, sorry). Researches.xml changes to make advanced aircrafts unlockable through other means, including no longer requiring alien aircraft "hull" items. Removed dermal regenerator and metabolism accelerator items. Fixed UNSC manufacturing to give proper weapons (minor text fix). Shock rockets no longer leave toxic gas when they explode. Base buildings for LV.3 are 2x1 in size now, no longer have any 2x2 buildings other than the command center. This was to fix the black zones in base defense missions maps.

Ah yes. My bad - I forgot to mention that any saves that had unlocked the dermal regen device or metabolisim accelerator will crash. Start a new game, sorry ....it is a work in progress mod, so these things are going to happen from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmindfr Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) ok but i didnt unlock regen device or metabolisim on older saves today and still crash so maybe something else in unlocked techs ? I beleive i have no way to have the savegame back but i am juste curious if i restore the 1.4.6 researches.xml it's ok so it's realy a change on the researches. Maybe something about the buildings ? as i put lots of level 2 Edited August 19, 2014 by starmindfr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
