Since UfoAI does not run currently on my own computer,
I tried the 2.2-dev (2007-09-04) on a friends laptop
(WinXP-Home, 512 ram, 2.4 GHz), and I managed
to do 2 missions in one afternoon, and I kept some notes:
Base:
* missing (red) picture for 2nd containment building
* Base-summary: a button for "save game" on this screen would be nice
* Ufopedia: cursor up/down scrolls text, but left/right does nothing -
it would be nice to select next/previous article.
* Rename soldiers: name can be edited only in the hire-screen,
not in the equip-screen.
* Initial equipment: only 1 assault gun, 1 machinegun, 1 flamer,
not enough armor, IR-goggles and flashbangs for everyone.
I think, at least 2 of each should be available.
Automatic equipping:
* puts 2 medikits on the first 3-4 soldiers, and none on the rest
* Not all types of grenades are distributed to the soldiers
* Equipment-screen / Object-info: the two bottom lines
get overwritten when showing some of the ammo / weapons
* Production: Storage is listed as 10000/2000, i.e. the wrong way around
* Battlescreen: using a touchpad for a mouse, scrolling around
the map is too sensitive. I.e. if you want to move the map
just 1-2 squares with the mouse-cursor, you mostly move
like 1/2 a map in each try - very annoying.
Without a keypad, there is no obvious workaround.
A control in the options to tune this sensitivity would be nice.
* RF-Menu: it is not obvious how to remove the open rf-menu
from the screen - a right click turns the soldier, and ESC goes
to the option-menu.
(My workaround: click a fire-button in rf-menu, then right-click to abort)
* Reloading weapons (RL, GL) with a specific type of ammo is not obvious,
as you cannot move the ammo onto the weapon-slot,
and clicking the reload-button gives no choice if several types of
rockets / grenades etc. are available
* TUs for reloading are not shown - would be nice as a tooltip
* Typo: "cannot peform action" (not enough TU for reloading)
* The times for in/out of the backpack are poorly visible
Animations:
* Shooting the GL triggers a wiggle-animation (old bug)
* Using the IR-goggles turns the soldier in the east-direction
* Research: no pictures for research-topics of alien weapons
* No indication when the alien round is still running,
but nothing is happening on screen.
Maybe change the 'end round'-button to disabled.
* Logmessages: after lines with "Alien activity" it would be nice
to also have a message like "Mission won/lost", so you can
later (after loading a game) see that it has already been dealt with.
* Suggestion: in-mission-status, to list some stats like
civilians / soldiers / aliens killed/spotted (and lost sight of),
weapons seen, etc.
* Crashes: I had some crashes when clicking around in the ufopedia,
and no message about it in the logfile
