Feature Requests / 1920x1080 resolution, also known as 1080p.

« on: October 23, 2013, 10:01:37 pm »

Can't be too much to ask for can it? Lots of oddball resolutions are supported, but not the one that's arguably the most standardized since 1280x1024.

Windows / uforadiant - missing dll.

« on: September 06, 2009, 04:40:11 pm »

Not sure where this dll is supposed to be, but during compile I got this error:

uforadiant.exe - cannot find component.
This program could not be started because libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll could not be found. This problem might be fixed by reinstalling the program.

Bugs prior to release 2.3 / Mission flicker - R25832

« on: September 06, 2009, 03:35:22 pm »

A common occurance in this build is that during missions you are kicked back to world map and have to start the mission over again. Very annoying when it happens several times while you're tracking down, or already cornered the last alien.

It's possibly related to having retried the mission.

It may also affect relations with nations favorably, as it didn't take me very long to get them to exuberant with a bunch of this happening. My guess is every kill I made counted, even if the mission flickered.

Windows / map-get - bad syntax

« on: September 05, 2009, 07:30:34 pm »

Ok... so the documentation for using map-get is non-existant, but it's apparently a python script, so I downloaded python(3.1)... still wasn't making it run, so I opened the python GUI, opened the script in it, and told it to run module... only to run into a syntax error in the script!

Code: [Select]

def run(cmd, mandatory=True):
    print cmd
    if os.system(cmd) and mandatory:
        sys.stderr.write('Faild to run: %s' % cmd)
        sys.exit(2)/code]

It says SyntaxError, invalid syntax, and highlights the "cmd" part.

Windows / Undefined reference to mcount - compiling errors.

« on: September 05, 2009, 06:28:09 pm »

I have no idea what's causing these... but I just installed the newest codeblocks, and set up all the paths and stuff, did everything the wiki told me for setting it up, including adding directories to my windows path and copying dlls to UFO:AI dir.

FAQ / Codeblocks updating help! No msys.bat

« on: September 05, 2009, 01:55:42 pm »

I haven't been checking in for a while so... when I finally got back here, updated to latest SVN and tried to compile, only to run into a bunch of errors. So I checked the wiki to try and figure out what went wrong, and it mentions keeping your codeblocks up to date, with msys.bat. I apparently do not have msys.bat... I guess it wasn't included in my prepackaged codeblocks download back then.

So, anyone who can help me getting msys installed so I can update codeblocks? Or should I just reinstall it and set everything up again?

Feature Requests / Various bugs (2.2 trunk rev 12269)

« on: October 08, 2007, 03:41:13 pm »

I'll start with something obvious and probably just incomplete: Power armour. It gives the soldiers funny purple pyramid shaped hats, the walk animation is awkward/glitchy, and bolt rifles seem to protrude from the soldiers' foreheads.

http://hem.bredband.net/b300661/funnyhat.jpg
http://hem.bredband.net/b300661/funnyhat2.jpg

Secondly... the camera has gone glitchy, usually when its not your turn, it's very jerky and often scrolls away from the action. It's especially bad during grenade throws(player turn), it scrolls far away from the grenade toss pretty much every time(cameraman afraid of grenades?).

Thirdly, weapons and equipment on my interceptors randomly vanish into thin air, often leaving me with no eligable interceptors when a UFO arrives, because none of them have any weapons equiped. I have no clue what causes this, could be anything from doing a mission, to completing a science project, to it changing to a new month.

And fourth, least serious and mainly just a laugh, figured I'd share, get a load of this picture:

http://hem.bredband.net/b300661/sniperplane.jpg

Oh and I managed to get a soldier with the rather uhm... revealing name: Fancy Bush.

Windows / Getting rsync to work in XP?

« on: October 08, 2007, 11:11:52 am »

I downloaded cwrsync, and have followed some instructions on how to get it to work in NT(XP is an NT system...)

However it just won't work. I'm trying to use it to download the pre-compiled map pack so I don't have to spend 6 hours compiling maps again...

Feature Requests / Another gamestopper bug (2.2 trunk rev 12241)

« on: October 07, 2007, 12:06:55 pm »

During tactical missions, after the aliens second turn, it doesn't become your turn again. So you have two turns to exterminate the aliens, or the game gets perpetually stuck in "it's not your turn."

PS: This in the binary release, haven't tested in the one I compiled myself.

Feature Requests / Possible gamestopper bug (2.2 trunk rev 12241)

« on: October 07, 2007, 07:31:45 am »

After much reading of tutorials, mishaps, and so on, I managed to download the source, and compile it.

I managed to get the game running, build my first base, sell some stuff and build a lab...

However when I press the "Aircraft" button, it tells me I don't have any aircraft, with the options buy, produce or cancel. Pressing on buy shows me that yeah I have both an interceptor and a dropship... however I cannot get to the aircraft screen due to this bug, so I cannot equip the crafts, assign or equip soldiers, etc.

Did I mess up when compiling, or is this a just bug? I compiled with the prepackaged codeblocks compiler, set all paths as instructed, opened the ufo_workplace, and it compiled without errors.

Currently compiling maps... not exactly a fast process...

FAQ / Downloading SVN smoothly?

« on: October 07, 2007, 05:21:09 am »

Since the latest install binary has crash bugs, I figured I'd try compiling the game for the first time, but at the place linked in the download section to download the files, you can't download full folders... you must download every file individually... a real pain. I wonder if there's a smoother way to do it.

Nevermind, found out I needed a program, downloading the source now...

Feature Requests / Crash Wellington (2.2 trunk - rev 12177 - 2007-10-03) grenade roll, backtraced

« on: October 06, 2007, 05:16:08 am »

Going to try and trace this one too, though I'm not as sure what is causing it. First time it happened when I tried to roll a grenade to an alien, and second time when I pressed end turn.

Here's what happens when I try to roll a grenade... dunno how to reproduce the second crash.

Feature Requests / Crash (2.2 trunk - rev 12177 - 2007-10-03)

« on: October 04, 2007, 09:49:14 am »

Unfortunately I probably won't be that helpful here but:

Mission: Wachau (day)
I was doing my first turn, and the game crashed to desktop without any error message when my fifth soldier(not necessarily soldier #5, just the fifth I moved) was moving.

It didn't register in ufoconsole.log either.

Feature Requests / Crash bug (2.2 trunk - rev 11999 - 2007-09-26) "No free inventory space!"

« on: October 04, 2007, 04:21:10 am »

This occurs now when I try to enter the equip soldiers screen. I've also had this happen once during a mission, but neglected to copy that log.

If you want, I can upload the savegame somewhere. I think it may be caused by soldiers having higher skill than the game allows, due to having done many mission/gotten many promotions.

I just cut and pasted the error log, which follows:

Feature Requests / Feedback (2.2 trunk - rev 11999 - 2007-09-26)

« on: October 03, 2007, 01:36:53 pm »

Nice job on many of the new features. Some problems however:

Night missions: Simply too dark, unplayable unless you raise gamma to about 75%, I thought it was the old black-texture bug again at first. At about 75% gamma, it's about as dark as it should be imho. Also there are no flares, and your troops do not have the circle of light(tm) that they had in xcom. It's just pitch black at standard gamma. Oh and the game messed up my gamma/brightness windows settings too, argh, possibly while crashing.

Base attack mission: Had one of these, sent a team over there... hey no crash right away, making progress! However there weren't any actual aliens in the mission, so I was unable to complete it. Aborting makes the game crash. It still has the garbled filepath spam filling most of the loading screen.

I've also had some more or less random crashes at end of missions, some I think are caused by me giving orders in the small window between killing the last alien, and the mission ending. I've also crashed at the "The aliens start their invasion" screen(and why does clicking past those always bring me to the menu, so I have to press continue to keep playing?)

I have been unable to research any UFO(have gotten scout, fighter and harvester), alien propulsion, and "particle beam weapon"(though up to man-portable particle beams works). They all show up in research window but greyed out, and the text informing me why scrolls off-screen... The only UFO part I can research is alien astrogation.

I have researched everything else I believe, I made it to the next year and the UFOs and missions stoped coming completely, fast-forwarded to july without any of either showing up. The only new things from 2.1.1 I've seen here are alien astrogation, bloodspider autopsy and monomolecular knife.

Plasma weapon rebalance has made the game a little easier, they don't spray me down like crazy with anything except the plasma blaster now, and it hurts less. However the only alien weapons worth using is still particle weapons, that you can't manufacture ammo for... Lasers are also quite useless. If the laser pistol had the stats of the heavy laser, it would be useful, that's about it. I find myself using only sniper rifle, riot shotgun, and bolt rifle(replaces riot shotgun).

Oh and another thing: I have a swedish OS but prefer playing in english, so I pick english language when given the choice... but several texts are still in swedish, for example flashbangs are "lysgranat" in the equip soldiers screen, though they're correctly called flashbangs in buy/sell and produce menus. Lysgranat btw is REALLY badly translated, I actually thought these were supposed to be flares until now, the real word for it is Distraktionsgranat. Lysgranat is litterally "lightgrenade", and with no double meanings on light, nothing to do with weight, we have a separate word for that.
