Feature Requests / Re: Video settings are unclear

Glad I'm not alone here :]
I mentioned these things not because I need them answered in the forum, but because I hope to focus attention on them to have them improved in the game so everyone benefits.

Correct, the acronym "HPGL" is not explained.

I can't as I don't know what HPGL is, for example :]

While discussing and working on the more difficult to fix items, the easier ones (explanation of HPHG, etc) could be fixed in the meanwhile...

reminds me of this children's joke:
1) say 'particle beam' ten times.
2) what are PB grenades?

Reminds me of this adult's joke where instead of being respectful and polite, a contemptuous guy quotes something that hasn't been said and still gets it wrong.

I rotated base/pics/sfx/smoke_00.png 180° so that the png looks upside-down (dark at the top) but in-game it looks correct (dark at the bottom).

Is contrib/map-get/update.py not enough?

They would walk more or less like this, and if I tried to get them to stand on that tile they wouldn't react.

The tile to the right of the soldier, the one right under the cursor cube in my screenshot.
In yours: http://i.imgur.com/PczsD.png


Not a TU issue, I tried with three soldiers over 2 turns.
I updated from git before playing yesterday (and every day).

Ok.
Which part of the text I pasted exactly do you need? Just the seed and map name? I don't mind pasting the whole thing but I don't want to spam you either.

The last two sentences contradict each other.

It will render less particles, so if the problem is that your game generates too many of them this should work around the problem.

Feature Requests / UFOpaedia scrolling with mouse scroll-wheel doesn't work

« on: January 01, 2013, 07:12:47 pm »

The mouse scroll-wheel doesn't work for scrolling the left panel of the UFOpaedia vertically. What's more, if I scroll this panel halfway by dragging the bar down and then try to use the scroll-wheel, it jumps right back up.
Screencast on request.

Feature Requests / Grenade launcher, its ammo and article

« on: January 01, 2013, 07:10:19 pm »

The grenade launcher comes with the following ammo according to the equip-soldier screen:
9x25mm HIT Grenades
16x25mm IC Grenades
20x25mm Flechette Grenades


I have no idea what HIT, IC or Flechette mean, so I visit the UFOpaedia.


The article on 25mm Flechette Grenades says they should be loaded into an HPGL Grenade Launcher. What's HPGL? No explanation in the UFOpaedia or on Google.


Next up, the 25mm HIT Grenade article. "High Impulse Thermobaric" explained, good.


Next article, the 25mm IC Grenade. For consistency with the HIT article, I would rephrase the first sentence to:
"This is a box of 6 25mm IC (incendiary) grenades."


Last, the Grenade Launcher article. No explanation of HPGL. I assume it means High Power Grenade Launcher, but then why write High Power Grenade Launcher Grenade Launcher. The 3D model of the ammo in this article shows three ammo units, but they are all HIT Grenades. Would be nice if it showed models of IC and Flechette Grenades too, and without clipping them (they dont fit in the box) [size=78%]http://i.imgur.com/hnA4k.png[/size]


I click on Statistics and cycle through the "With:" thing, and see "25mm PB Grenades". What's a PB Grenade?
