Launched app with +set vid_fullscreen 1 + set snd_init 0, entered a mission in map City04N (BTW - There's a bug in this one, previously reported I think, with large orange rectangles appearing in the store).

Ran at a solid 68.4 for pretty much the entire mission.

I'll test some more later tonight, but I think you can call this confirmed.

Was playing on again / off again some this weekend, and noticed a few bugs (Win32, 2.2 - Dev from 7/11/07)-

1.  In missions when I have a large number of players / models on screen, my FPS drops to the teens, or more often, to the single digits.  System details: Intel E6400, 2Gb Ram @1066, 8800GTS, SB Audiology.

2.  My wife asked me to take her to the ER due to her cold.  I left the game running and came back to it around 18 hours later.  The background music had stopped.  Reentering missions, reloading game wouldn't bring it back... I played a mission anyways.  Loe and behold - My FPS stayed consistently in the upper 60's (usual performance for me).  I exitted the app, restarted it, and loaded my save game.  (I was like 5 minutes game-time from entering a mission.)  When I entered the mission, my FPS was back down to single digits.  To me, this indicates that the FPS drop is somehow related to sound or music playback.  This has happened previously, but I wasn't 100% sure the issues were related.  I'm much more confident they are now.

3.  Inventory at 2nd or 3rd base behaves oddly.  I can assign an object (let's say a particle pistol) to a soldier.  It's the ONLY particle pistol at the base.  Exit the Assign Soldiers / Aircrafts menu completely - go all the way to Base View.  If I re-enter Aircraft -> Assign Soldiers, there is the particle pistol both on the soldier, and I have it still in inventory to assign to another soldier, and can do so.  I can repeat this and assign that single particle pistol (works with other objects, just using it as an example) to all 8 of my squaddies.  If I exit all the way out to Geoscape, re-enter the base view, and go to assign soldiers at this point (having exited base-view out to Geoscape and re-entered Base View) - The application crashes.  I imagine this is caused because of a corrupt inventory count on the object that was 'duped'.

Let me know if you need additional details on my system, or on how to reproduce the bugs.  I am not a coder really, or I'd try and find the problems myself.

Sounds and Music / Particle and sound needed: Electrolaser
« on: July 22, 2007, 04:58:55 am »
Okay-

Try this set:
http://ftp://12.149.180.130/UFO%20AI%20Sounds.zip

The Electrolaser sound is comprised of bits and pieces of things I found on the web, as stated before.  I incorporated part of the audio from the video that Winter linked.  If these sources aren't kosher, I'll just scrap the sound and start from scratch.

The others in the zip file all come from sine waves I generated at various frequencies, then modified.  Can't see how they're not legit for use. :P

I included a READ ME with suggested uses for them, but by all means, apply them as you all see fit.  I realized they all have a fairly similar sound/feel.... I was trying to keep them somewhat consistant, but also, I'm very much a newb and I find there's only so much I can do with a generated steady-tone sine wave as my base.

Maybe with some more time, and some more experience, I can produce a wider variety of stuff for the geoscape.

AFterthought-
Cound someone offer me some help getting an IRC client running and connected to your channel?  I'd love to get some "live" feedback and chat with you guys.  Just never used IRC before...

I like both of them as well, but the electrolaser sound is missing something to imply arcing electricity. You should look around on the internet and listen to what it sounds like in real life. Here's a good example:

I was trying to find a decent sample to work from last night and couldn't.  I didn't think about doing it from video sources.  If the way I'm creating these is allowed, I'll sample out something from that 500kV video or the 345kV video on the same site and use those to make improvements to the one I made last night.

I was trying to do the electrical arc sound, and closest I got last night was a firework that sounded close.  It's what you hear as the last part of of the one I made last night.

License?

Umm.. One is comprised of some free sound clips I found on the web.  Cut and pasted several parts together, then fed them through WavePad to distort, pitch alter, etc them...

The other is a sample from an Annie Lenox song that I modified the hell out of in a similar fasion.

Umm... License?  (shrug)

I was goofing around last night and decided to try my hand at this.

http://ftp://12.149.180.130/UFO-AI.zip

I created on sound possibly for the Geoscape, and one for the Electrolaser.

If either are headed in the correct direction, let me know.  I'll play around some more with Geoscape sounds.  If they're way off, let me know as well, and I'll try and work with you to get what you want.

Feature Requests / Hawaii Please?
« on: July 19, 2007, 07:02:38 am »
This is REALLY minor, but would it be possible for someone to alter the code for the geoscape enough that Hawaii becomes a legitimate site for a base?

Feature Requests / Bug/Oversite in Build 2.2 (7/11/2007 Win32 Debug)
« on: July 18, 2007, 03:01:13 am »
Sorry, was pretty late when I posted that last night... No, what i'm saying is there were 84 UFO Scouts for sale.... At 200 Antimatter each, and a cost of zero for the scout, I think I could keep myself in antimatter quite nicely.

Feature Requests / Bug/Oversite in Build 2.2 (7/11/2007 Win32 Debug)
« on: July 17, 2007, 09:49:56 am »
I'm entering the 2nd month of the game (started over because of changes to the save-game file), and I've just researched the UFO-Scout.

Now, antimatter is a hard thing to come by, because you can only get it from UFO's and the aliens...

But look, there's 84 for sale on the open market...

If someone will tell me how to do a screenshot (is there key?), I'll provide one.

Thought you'd want to know...  :)

Discussion / Base Construction question
« on: July 17, 2007, 05:17:43 am »
Continuation on this, if you don't mind...

Is it possible to relocate the entrance?
During Base Raid missions, is the Radar or Alien Containment structures points of access?  I ask because they are both located near the hangars in the default base construction....

Feature Requests / Error Loading 2.2Dev savegame in new 2.2 Build
« on: July 14, 2007, 06:40:04 am »
First off - Love the game so far.... I was jonesing to play XCom again lately, and stumbled onto your project.  Cravings have been nicely handled. =)

Anyways, have been playing using 2.2Dev (Build prior to the 7/11/07 one) and was doing rather well.  I decided to pull down the latest dev build (7/11/07 as stated above) and now I can't load any of my save game files.
