Bugs in stable version (2.5) / Re: No Text when starting in Windows 10

The "no trranslation" warnings are not related to the problem (and completely harmless).
Please share your ufoconsole log, system language settings and video card type. Thanks!

Bugs in stable version (2.5) / Re: No Text when starting in Windows 10

Ok,
I tried loading set s_language en from the console, and that didn't change anything. 
Of note, I did some looking around, and in the config.cfg (attached- don't think there's anything personal in there besides my name) is a line reading 'set s_language "en" a'.
Attached is the console log from after I manually tried the set s_language en from console. 
Of note, there are a lot of "no translation for xxxx.txt" at the end of the log - don't know if that's significant or not...

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.  I had somewhat given up, which resulted in my delayed response.  Now I know you're working on it, I'll be paying much more attention.

I have the same problem

I'll try to reproduce these here, but if you could upload the ufoconsole.log (and maybe some screenshots) generated the next time one of these bugs happens, it could help us track the problem down.

Design / Grenades and Ammo

« on: February 21, 2019, 12:01:25 am »

 I will write this article when I have time.
This part will be about  Ammo .
      7.62mm Pistol , Machine Pistol ,Submachine Gun , Micro Shotgun and Flamethrower are very helpful at the beginning of the game , but in the middle of the game they are very weak.I have an idea how to fix it. After researching Alien materials need to add new bullet type to game. Bullets and Clips fom Alien Materials/Alloy. It will be clips with a dark green markLine and will have characteristics :

7.62mm Pistol
7.62mm P Magazine with Alien Alloys/Material (AA/AM)         Normal/Standart (N/S)
Weight:                                               0.3                                          0.2
Damage:                                              45                                           30

Weight:                                               0.7                                             0.5
Damage:                                              30                                             20
Spreads:                                           1.5/2/3                                     2/2.5/3.5                 

Submachine Gun
SMG Magazine                                   AA/AM                                         N/S
Weight:                                               0.6                                            0.4
Damage:                                     20 for 1 bullet                             15 for 1 bullet
Spreads:                                           1.2/2                                        1.8/2.5

Micro Shotgun
Flechette Shells                                 AA/AM                                         N/S
Weight:                                              0.6                                             0.4
Damage:                                       180 or 200                                       160
Spreads:                                              3                                                5                   

Flamethrower
Canister                                            AA/AM                                         N/S

Spreads:                                          1/1/5.5                                      1/1/5.5


Description:
After researching Alien Alloys/Material will be available a new research of bullets with/from Alien Alloys/Material.
These bullets will have equal weight to standard ammunition but less volume due to it will contain more gunpowder.
Flamethrower canister walls will withstand extrohigh pressure of napalm mixture.

Positive Effects:
1)7.62mm Pistol , Machine Pistol ,Submachine Gun , Micro Shotgun and Flamethrower  will be good in the middle of the game.
2)There will be addition time to researche and produce laser weapons.
3)These weapons do not have plasm bullets/clips/ammo/magazine like other types of weapons.

Bugs in development version (2.6-dev) / Re: Some fuzzy bugs, appearing simulteneously in current 2.6

I have an interesting discovery ,if you have two crash sides , after the first you fly the second (
without flying to base) all the grenades and ammunition you have already used  ,do not disappear  at the second  crash side . I used 2 of 2 frag grenades, but they again appeared in the second crash side . I think that  the inventory is updated only on the base , not after the battle.

P.S. All AirCrafts have containers with ammunition , so it can not be sold when it is equiped.
if such  containers  will be for soldiers ? I think there will be 3 positive effects :
1)inventory will be updated after the battle
2)you can’t sell already  equiped ammunition
3)realism

to nick87720z
I have the same problems ,when I throw smoke grenades into certain areas :
1) exit from hercules AirCraft (jungle map with crocodile loadscreen)
2) entrance to the Hunter UfoCraft (Snow map)
3)when a grenade falls through textures /map borders
4)when I throw 3-4 smoke/incendiary grenades into one place
5)sometimes it happens when i use  googles +smoke in snow maps

in this case there are no sound and visual effects , but there are problems you write about.

This type of ammo is usually used in big ammo, such as missiles or bombs. Smallest implementations includes rocket launcher missiles.
Even if this ammo type is unsuitable for most treat handling missions, it could be very useful during alien base/carrier assault, as there is noone, but aliens.
And probably going to be exceptionally useful at aliens home.

the exposion  look like a flashbang but leaves behind itself a cloud of smoke like a smoke grenade.
In game for example, it can damage all parts of the body and make a bleeding effects
