Discussion / Glass-Shattering IR Goggles

« on: September 20, 2010, 03:08:32 am »

A few days ago I noticed an amusing little side-effect of using IR goggles in 2.3- upon use, any windows within its vision radius will instantly shatter, complete with sound effects of breaking glass. I've since tested it on multiple maps, all with the same result. Just what sort of equipment is PHALANX using here, and is it really safe for my soldiers health? I want the truth Cdr. Navarre, and no more lies!

Discussion / Re: Production for profit

« on: September 20, 2010, 02:46:17 am »

Entirely aside from fluff reasons, from a gameplay standpoint I think that manufacturing items should at least be a competitive alternative to buying items off the market. As it is, manufacturing facilities are really only good for disassembling UFOs and producing new equipment that hasn't made it to the market yet. There is -never- any reason or incentive to manufacture anything else with them. You don't need to make them become cash cows or alternative income sources- just lower the production costs to be equal to the price you can sell an item for. That way you make a net zero from selling manufactured goods, yet also have an incentive to actually produce them in the first place.

Bugs prior to release 2.3 / Re: assertion failed?

« on: March 27, 2010, 09:29:17 pm »

Same here, running destructavator's ufoai-2.3-dev-29004 installer. It's doing it every single time a mission is completed, regardless of circumstances. I tried starting up a new campaign, same thing happened. Everything had been running smoothly for weeks with this build before the bug cropped up, so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package. I was dismayed to find that the bug was still there, effectively preventing me from playing any more UFOAI.

FAQ / Re: How to use night-vision gogles?

« on: October 06, 2009, 05:00:46 pm »

Sorry for the question but how these gogles work?
Thanks for the attention

I've found that in 2.2 if you put the goggles in your hand, it'll let you use them to see what's behind walls for 12 TU's. (use them like you would any other weapon) I just use the 'Headgear' slot as a dedicated place to put my goggles after I'm done using them. ^_^

Windows / Re: Game work but first mission wont start...

Sorry! I thought it was the same problem hertz was having since they sounded identical at first. I just posted here because most of the time people get irritated if you go posting multiple threads about the same topic.

That said, is there a place I can get the map descriptors without having to download the whole 385mb package again? (and where would I put them if I did get them?)

[Edit:] I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package again, and now the map loads just fine.

Windows / Re: Game work but first mission wont start...

« on: September 18, 2009, 04:19:44 pm »

I'm having the same problem here. I'm running Vista x64, and I downloaded the ufoai-2.2-win32.exe package from Sourceforge. As with hertz, the game starts just fine and I can do anything I want right up until the first mission appears. Once my firebird arrives and I click the confirmation message about entering, the screen goes black except for the green cursor, and I can return to the geoscape at any time by pressing Esc.

Any help in solving this would be appreciated, as I've heard this game is pretty good.

(how do you get to the ufoconsole.log by the way?)
