Teemu's suggestions for UFO:AI

(1/1)

Teemu Milto (Turku):
Version: 2.3 June 16 2010
-Problem 7.: ctrl + tab blocks the cursor to upper left corner on the desktop

-Problem 6.: saving broke after four saves and wouldn't react to the "save" button any more. It worked after relaunch and starting a new game. Geever, problem six happened again today 29.8.2010 after I had been to the desktop with alt + tab. I think the text field is unresponsive, although it takes in text. It disappears on relaunch from "Windose" 7. I have the new Asus 1215N, with D525 and Ion2
 
-Problem 5.: Losing 2 soldiers in a terror mission, switching to another terror mission in mid-flight results in that the two soldiers show active buttons but there is nothing in them

-Problem 4.: frag grenades slide past the enemy and drop over the edge of the map.

-Problem 3.: speed doesn't apply -soldier with 20, 22 or 24 speed early in the game has constantly 31 or 32 movement. With all soldiers.

-Problem 2.: weapons can't be activated and read their info in the equip screen, if there is not ammo for that weapon in storage.

-Problem 1.: civilians should give way to soldiers in stairs

-Problem 0.5.: pathfinding should reach across the map, not just the available TUs

-Wish 2.: movement should happen with a double click - one click shows the pathway and shift gives more waypoints

-Wish 1. : grenades should damage walls, metal staircases and other surfaces should pass bullets and be destroyed realistically

I will write more ideas to the top as I find them. Please comment, but you should know that I stopped arguing on web bulletins years ago.

Please tell me more about this one. Did you save on the same slot or different ones? Is it reproducible in a new campaign, just saving and saving and saving (with a little time forward)? Which Operating System you're on?

Known one, it is fixed since that IIRC.

I think they are. Not sure, maybe if you don't have a weapon it's not click-able, but if you have the weapon but not the ammo, it shouldn't matter.

Hmm, not an easy one but true. Please post* a Feature Request on the Tracker so it doesn't get forgotten.

It was limited to speed up the pathfinding. I hope we can extend it again somewhen. You could add* another feature request about this one.

Movement happens with 2 clicks if you enable 'Confirm Actions' option. One click shows the pathway, another executes it.
Waypoints is a good idea, you could add* a feature request to the tracker, again. ;)

Our engine doesn't support destructible terrain and it won't change anytime soon.

Thanks for the feedback!

* Check if it is suggesteb before on the tracker.
