Feature Requests / Re: Some bugs :)

« on: February 09, 2008, 01:56:38 pm »

1. Is in the 2.2 ufo research implemented? After a mission I captured an ufo and select my first base to store it there, but it seems never to arrive ...

2. In the Geoscape I have always the upper borders of the hidded menus in the lower left being visible (as if mouse was moved over).
3. When selected a slot for saving but then selecting another slot, going back to the game and then back to the save screen, the entry that was first selected for saving is already marked with a star.
4. What's this with the translations? For example there's a text for the bolter rifle ingerman ingame, the po is marked as done but the wiki is completely empty.

Is there another account needed for editing articles and so on? When I try to work on the translations in a different tab, it says that login is needed (Cookies are accepted, using Firefox on Ubuntu Linux 7.10).

Hello,

I would like to support you but there are a lot of open topics and I don't know what of them to do.
I've never coded C/C++ (sry, only Java), but I got some (little) experience with Hibernate and in building plugins for eclipse.
I'm specialized in algorithms (there are people who like complexity theory ;-)). So if you have use for this, I can try about this.
Otherwise I can do some translations.

Greetings zyrano

Feature Requests / Several bugs in 2.1

« on: April 04, 2007, 09:44:44 am »

Hello,

I don't wanna to make an own thread for each bug, so I list all the things I recognize here.

1. At same maps it's difficult, maybe impossible to get to some squares by clicking on it even if a soldier can go there. For example in one map (military station?) I can't directly click on a
square before an stair, but a soldier can finish its round there. I will look for further and more detailed information.

2. It seems that I've no texts in the ufopedia, just the placeholder.

3. The game crashes when clicking on the UVG in the ufopedia. Restarting it from the
console freezes the computer. I'm running it on Ubuntu 6.10.

4. The hitting propability is sometimes very low, but my soldiers got more hits than I would exspect by such a low propability. Is the shown propability really the same propability with which an enemy is hit?

5. When targeting with a flamethrower I got a negative propability to hit (when I was in range to hit).

6. The stats for the laser rifle shown by the c-f cartridge aren't correct. They doesn't match the values in a combat (TU) und as it seems the damage too.

Suggestions:
There are some points that I suggest:

1. Installing the linux version: for Linux newbies there should be a hint, to make the file
executable after download.

2. Ingame: Why are the stats of a weapon shown by its ammo? I find this confusing, especially if some weapons use the same ammo, what are the correct stats?

3. Savegames: If a game is saved several times in the same slot without changing the
name manually, the name gets really long because of the added date. If the row is full that
leads to a little graphics failure. I would prefer to replace the date each time. Maybe by
saving the name and the date of a savegame inside the file and using this for the menu.

That's all for now.

Feature Requests / Problems at installing the 2.1 windows version

« on: April 03, 2007, 10:57:42 am »

The error occurres during the installation. I just got the message AN error occurred
during ??.bsp (I forgot the filename), back at home I can try it again.


I'm just asking for the bsp, because I know about it from a (Vorlesung) lesson about
computional geometry.

Hello,

when I ran the .exe there occurred an error extracting a .bsp-File, but I have no idea where the error comes from. Any suggestions?

By the way, is bsp for binary space partition?

What is about the research? Same with me as above, I've already resarched all resaerchable items (nano, plasma und tachyon related things) and still stand there xenobiology unresarchable.

I've recognized a bug. Sometimes the objects are losing thier textures, getting a grey (or white skin). Restarting the game works around

Feature Requests / Defend The Base Error

Maybe you can get a screenshot by pressing the "print" on your keyboard (then open a office program and try insert). In earlier windows version you could get a screenshot that way. I don't know if this works under linux.

Feature Requests / Base attack/ Transfer bug in RC 5

« on: November 16, 2006, 09:52:38 am »

Hey,

1st: the nasty aliens attacked my base. After I took some out, the base was still in the status
base attack (so I can't assign research, produce items, buy/sell and so on). Is this bug already known/fixed?

2nd: The transfer between Bases never works. I used the RC 5 for windows (XP, SP2).
What's about this bug? Maybe because of renaming the Base(s)?

And how can I participate on a low level?

I have little time, but I would like to some easier tasks, for example the (german) ufopedia

I think that this error is not completely random. I've a savegame that crashes after (re)loading.

Its the same mistake as described before, I have two bases and so on ... . But there maybe  one difference: I'am researching Taychon guns and the game crashes immediately if I try to enter the base after the research is finished. Entering the base before the research is finished (but after it is started) is no problem.

Should I send the savegame somewhere? And how can I participate if I had time to write (german) texts for the ufopedia? I would need further information for doing so.
