Discussion / Quick Question: Do missions eventually go away?

« on: June 08, 2014, 07:06:18 pm »

Or do you have to fight every battle?  Normally I fight em all to resolution, but there are some times that I'd rather just let em disappear on their own like they used to in XCOM.  So just thought I'd shoot out a quick question to see.

Linux / Proper GIT command for 2.5 dev current

« on: March 21, 2014, 11:20:25 pm »

Hey all,

Try as I might, I just don't seem to get GIT.  It just doesn't seem to work the way I expect a CM system to work.  I just did a pull from my 2.5 dev directory, which I thought should have been setup to read the 2.5 baseline, but instead it overwrote it with the 2.6 dev baseline.  I don't know how to get a clean version of the latest 2.5 dev.

Can someone give me the exact commands to clone the 2.5 baseline on my disk?  And the separate commands to pull the 2.6 dev baseline?  I want them unique on my disk.

And while you're at it, if you could give me the clue on how to update each of them so I can keep each baseline independent.  If there is an existing post on this, please point me to it.  I haven't found anything that has helped me figure this out.  Thanks.

Discussion / 2.5 Stable Now?

« on: February 16, 2014, 07:27:11 pm »

I see a lot of discussion on moving to the 2.6 baseline, but I don't think I've seen a general announcement that 2.5 is stable yet.  Is there anymore development going on in 2.5 that we should consider it the stable baseline now and 2.6 the only dev version going?

Discussion / Official Baseline?

« on: October 14, 2013, 03:17:07 am »

Quick question to clarify the statement on website. 

Is the intent to make 2.6 the final stable version for this release?  Or is work going to continue on 2.5 as a final stable release while 2.6 goes on to additional development? 

Usually odd numbers are dev and even numbers stable releases, but I didn't get a clear idea from the description.  Thanks.

Feature Requests / Dead Soldier Stat View

« on: July 28, 2013, 10:45:46 pm »

I take care of my squadies, but I don't always remember them.  Also, some turns happen so fast all of a sudden someone is dead and I don't really have any idea who it was if I missed the quick flash of a message that shoots by.  I would like to be able to click on their remains and see their names and stats.  That will help if I want to retry the mission.  Really need to know who's willing to be sacrificed.

If that's too complicated, maybe a button on the interface that pops up a quick list of soldiers and their stats that are on the mission, and just gray out the ones who've died.  The list could just be stat numbers; don't need the fancy bars or anything, so you can get all of them on one quick screen.

And I do add short notes to their names to help remember who is what, but again, sometimes they die so quickly, I lose track of who's who.

I'm getting a run-time error with X when I try to startup ufoai.  Here is the dump:

Not sure what to make of it, whether it's a bug or just something in configuration.  I built the maps and everything compiled fine without error, though I had to skip uforadiant.  I don't see a log file to include, though if you need me to run something with a command switch or look somewhere, let me know.

Also, I have a nVidia Geforce 550GTX running the 310.32 nvidia driver.

I believe I'm running Mint 14.1 64 bit with KDE, on an AMD Athlon 64.  I have run 2.4 successfully before, but now I seem to be getting the same error with it as well.

Bugs in older version (2.4) / Partical Cannon Mystery Production

I'm getting particle cannons showing up mysteriously in inventory.  Not sure what is triggering it, but they just keep showing up.

Newbie Coding / Question on List Formatting

« on: May 21, 2012, 11:55:28 pm »

Hi,

I thought I'd take a stab at modifying the transfer screen to tell me how much of each item is at a destination site.  Figured that out, great, but for the life of me I can't figure out how the string is actually formatted for display on screen.  My small mod works ok for low quantities, though a bit ugly.  I chose to just add it to the "amounts" list and if there is more than 0 items at the destination site, display it in the same field, with a simple separator char to distinguish the two numbers.  Seemed the easiest way with least impact.  But if the item number gets over 2 chars at each site, then the display reads "..." since it can't fit the required chars into the space provided.

I'd like to clean it up and submit for your approval, assuming I can get it looking halfway decent, but I can't seem to figure out where the formatting or control of the field width is provided.  It seems to be shot off into the global void where some function not related to the actual transfer screen functions picks it up and decides what to do with it, and I don't see where that is.  Can anyone give me a quick synopsis on it and where to look?

Discussion / Just Defeated the Alien Base

« on: May 13, 2012, 02:57:24 am »

Guys, great job.  Enjoyed the game very much all the way to the end.  Was a little bummed when the ending scene hit, but cool, can always load up again.

Some comments:

1. AI needs a little work.  They need to take cover more.  The aliens tend to just walk up, maybe firing, maybe not.  They rely heavily on reaction fire, which hurts, but can just spread the damage out among team members, then heal back up.  They can be deadly if you let them get close, but overall they're pretty easily defeated.  I rarely restarted and maybe lost 3 soldiers the whole campaign.

2. The mansion map is very laggy.  Every other map was pretty good.

3. I never got the research option for advanced radar.  It just showed up at some point.

4. Enjoying the storyline.  Please make savegames compatible between versions... not sure if you have been doing this but I played this last one start to finish.  Was a little boring until I hit new stuff.  Will play from the start if needed in the future, but would like to pick up where I left off if possible.

5. The ending crashed on me when the ufo's started flying by.   Here is the output:

Disconnecting...

Error: Received signal 11.

Oh, I play in OpenSuse 12.1 on a ASUS P4T mobo w an AMD Athlon 64, 2GB.

6.  Overall very bug free, but did have a few times when the alien would duck himself right off the map and I couldn't hit him.  Only solution was to retry the mission.

I think you're headed in a good direction with the game.  The story has potential and enjoy the writeup's in research.  I'm not sure if I finished early because I noticed that the supply ships where disappearing and reappearing in the same spot, so I sent a few fighters to search like I used to do in UFO:Defense, and sure enough it popped up.  Wasn't finished researching everything yet though.

Thanks again, for the great work.

Linux / SuSe 12.1 Issues

« on: April 27, 2012, 07:37:08 pm »

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get UFOAI to run under SuSe 12.1 and having a few issues.  First, I did have to create an extra sym link to get it to compile:

sudo ln -s /lib/libm.so.6 /usr/local/lib/libm.so.6

I also had to create the symlink described on your SuSe WIki as well.

It seems to be running fine, but I'm getting some missing links in data and not sure how to proceed.  I think they're all related, but the first noticeable one is that all the text is gone from the ufopedia and during the into sequence, all I get is intro_sentance1, intro_sentence2, etc...  I vaguely remember something similar when I setup 2.3 a while ago, so I'll check the forums for something, but I'd appreciate an answer here so there is a one stop thread for SuSe issues since I seem to be the first.  Thanks much and I do appreciate all the hard work you guys pour into this game.

Battlescared

P.S.  Here is the output from game while running.  I'm not sure if the messages  of the missing maps are normal or if there is something I need to do to correct that as well.  I haven't gotten to the battlescape yet.

Bugs in older version (2.3.1) / Transfer of Employee bug

« on: June 28, 2010, 02:11:06 am »

Playing with 2 bases staffed and start a new base up.  I'm trying to transport a couple experienced soldiers from Base 1 to the new Base 3.  When I unload them from my aircraft, go the Transfer screen and select the soldiers to transfer, it lets me do it and I see the number of soldiers decrease by 2 on the employee screen, and the total number of employees drops by 2.  I get an a message on the Geoscape that the transfer started. 

Base 1 has two living quarters, 9 soldiers, 3 pilots, 10 workers, and 18 scientists.
Base 3 has no employees and one living quarter.

However, those soldiers never show up at the new base.  If I try to hire any new employees, I get a message that my base is full on living quarters, even though it clearly says 38/40 employees on the Employee screen.  When I try to run a mission with my team from Base 2 (that's just where I noticed the problem), I get an error message:

********************
ERROR: Game Error: Could not find character on team 1 with unique character number 1603
********************
Shutdown server: Server crashed.

Fyi, I was able to transfer two employees from Base 2 to Base 3, which only had one living quarter and about 18 employees, so it may have something to do with two living quarters or possibly something that triggered when I hit max employees, though I did try firing a few and trying again with the same results.
