Alien Resistance

[DarkRain]

So I was thinking about adding resistance/weakness to the aliens in my game, (at least until it is oficially implemented) so I made some changes in the code (see attachment), now the question is: Wich is the best way to make sure it´s doing what it´s supposed to? The values I used are probably too low to see any conclusive result in game (need to work on that) and I´m not getting any thing from the console log (I compiled a debug version and used +set developer 1) so any ideas? (Or maybe you can test it for me?)

(Note that I haven´t coded anything that requires compiling in several years)

you could add this to the Patch Tracker, so it doesn't get lost.

Ok, managed to test it successfully (tough only used skirmish mode for now), tried some balancing but still needs more testing.
Added it to the patch tracker:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3041597&group_id=157793&atid=805244

I must admit that since I haven't touched C since I was at school I didn't expect this to be even considered to be included in the project

i've added a comment to the tracker - in general the data should go into the scripts, the structures that hold the data should go into csi_t

[DarkRain]

in general the data should go into the scripts

That is what I think as well, now the question would be: Add a new script or integrate it with an existing one (maybe the armor team definition script?)? I was also thinking that this is related to the character creation templates (at least they seem related to me) but that's another matter. Unfortunately I don't expect to have a lot of time and my coding is very rusty but will see what can be done

[Mattn]

yes, adding it into team_* would be the best imo.

[DarkRain]

Ok patch has been updated(I'm attaching it here as well), resistance/weakness should now be scriptable in the team_* scripts, it might need balancing tough, but it should be easier to do it now.

What about the rf fix? You should work on that.

I see most things I left over (had plans for Sunday afternoon so I didn't completely finish it) were corrected, but seems we both overlooked extending the description in team_humans.ufo to account for the new options - just a tiny detail

What about the rf fix? You should work on that.

I was thinking to go back to translating now (that i might have some time), but if you point me in the right direction I might take a look

Hehe, I could have found it myself, I meant point me to what needs fixing, what is missing or lacking or new features to be implemented

There is a bug fix posted Here
It's in the tracker here: 3027802
So I guess you have something different in mind?
