Sandro: good idea, but not new to me

Always keep in mind that playability comes first, realism is only second.
I agree that if you stand behind a door, waiting for some foe to come out/in, pulling the trigger should take nearly NO time at all. In RL. No problem to implement.

But how would you clear a building then ? In RL, you'd throw some sort of grenade into the room before entering it. Now think of a map with many buildings/rooms eg. a hotel. It would take ages plus tons of grenades. No fun.

Discussion / Re: No ufos in April.

1. in 2.5 ufos come in waves. 1-2 weeks without ufos is normal. But 6 weeks ?? idk
2. speed at 12hrs is a bad idea. You get less events due to a known design bug. Let ufo run overnight at 5min speed to see the difference.

Either in the thread I linked above or somewhere else on these forums I already mentioned that the bots have *human* assistants. So the questions has to be difficult even for humans in order to keep those assistants out.

We've had many/enough new users since that question has been set up. And losing some potential users that are not willing/able to spend some thought on the registration riddle should raise the average quality of the posts here

Also I may want to really play an RTS if I feel like it should be my turn/my turn or even my turn/your turn +++my turn  and then /my turn.

Love that one

Quote from my comments in the code of g_reaction.cpp:

Code: [Select]

* Note that in a turn-based game, reaction fire is a design bug in the first place,
 * causing several logic problems. But we want it and we need it, so we'll have to
 * work around those problems.

Hi Brian,
your approach was a little bit below standard. You may want to read this:

After cleaning up 26,000 spam registrations manually you become rather creative, you know ...

Afaik nothing regarding bombers was changed in 2.6. If you want to restart, it's a good idea to use 2.6 though.

If you do NOT like to restart, there is a way to 'tweak' a mission to use a bomber. Search our IRC log to find out how.

Except: whats wrong with Code::Blocks?

C::B itself is ... ok.
But the fact that uforadiant doesn't compile on Windows is related to outdated libs in the codeblock.zip and/or the codeblocks repo at github.

IDE = Integrated Developement Enviroment.
In short: if you are on Windows, you'll have a hard time just to compile ufoai.

A poll only takes 5 options. So this is just the first round. Feel free to suggest more issues below that have a chance to make it into the top 10. Do NOT copy our bug tracker here !

Gurus wanted ! / [SMF] hidden forum ?

« on: March 26, 2014, 10:29:40 am »

I tried to create a forum that is hidden to normal users and/or at least not readable, but failed.
Am I just too stupid or can anybody confirm that it's not possible ?

Gurus wanted ! / Re: [doxygen] another strange warning

« on: March 26, 2014, 04:44:19 am »

Ok, after removing the static declaration, the warning points to the right place.

Did you just 'find' that problem or did you already know about this doxygen flaw ?
