silencer Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 In base it show 6 shots - during combat 4 shots. Somewhere is a wrong number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 A few other weapons would do this I think. Its from weapons.xml not being updated during the balance changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 That is a strange thing having 2 different places to store same data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Even weirder, if the ammo count in weapons.xml is lower than the one set in weapons_gc.xml, the weapon will have the lower amount upon starting combat, but reloads will have the right amount. I know this due to having done it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiorob Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks for explanation. I have this problem, too. Small bug, maybe next HF fix this issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waladil Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 This is true for the Ballistic pistol and the MAGStorm as well. Just putting this here for whenever they get around to fixing them officially. Gonna fix the MAGStorms on my side by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also checked other guns - every balistic weapon I think has different number in geoscope and in combat mission. However in inventory screen it says 6/6 after inventory reload but when going back to battle screen it goes to 4/4 and back in inventory it is 4/6 Edited June 3, 2013 by silencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiorob Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Precision plasma too Should be 5/5, is 4/4 in ground batlle mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The combat reload will have the right amount for ground combat. What I meant was having a weapon with 16 ammo in ground combat, but 12 in geoscape. Reloading in combat will have 16 ammo, though it will start combat with 12. Though that is interesting, the equip screen must use Geoscape info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterLock Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just open it in Excel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Its meant to be 4. Changing it to 6 would require changing weapons_gc.xml. I just fixed it so that the ammo count in the inventory and equip screens is the same as the ground combat. You can just over-write the file.

Operations Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Just open it in Excel Don't have Excel, but handy to know this particular file formats better in a spreadsheet. Its meant to be 4. Changing it to 6 would require changing weapons_gc.xml. I just fixed it so that the ammo count in the inventory and equip screens is the same as the ground combat. I think they were after having it mechanically fixed to be the same as what was displayed, rather than having the visual number lowered. Either way 4 seems like too large a drop down from the 10 of a basic precision rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It should be fixed in the next release. The ammo count is listed in 2 xml files. During the balancing it was changed in only one of them. If you are really into modding and you are impatient here you go, change the numbers here: weapons.xml and weapons_gc.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
