Mind Shield

I know it's been awhile since i've been to these forums, but was playing apoc today, and raided a Marsec apartment on superhuman difficulty. After mowing down about 30 of the pathetic security guys, i went back to the base and found something called a Mind Shield in the inventory. When i right-clicked it for the Ufopedia, it came up with the Toxigun-B clip... I went exploring in the PCX files, and found it looks like the W38.pcx file. I dont know how to take a screenshot, so you'll have to take my word for it, but has this happened to anyone else?

I took it into battle, and predictably, it doesnt do anything. It gets highlighted when you click, exactly like the shield generator. I dont know if it actually works because finding phsycic aliens is difficult, and it doesnt do anything to the person's psi defense stat.

If anyone would like the saved game i can send it to you, and i havent used any saved game editors, just so everyone knows.

X-COM: The Fourth Alien War

I just got a game called The Movies and I made a movie called X-COM: The Fourth Alien War. I posted it online at http://movies.lionhead.com/movie/69876 . Unfortunatley, something happened with the car sound effect and it repeats throughout the movie, although I only noticed it about halfway through watching so its not too big of a deal but it can be annoying.
It hasnt got a lot to do with X-COM because it's the first in a series (how can you pack an entire war into on short movie?), and mainly develops the characters and sets the scene.
Feel free to make suggestions for new movies (although I already have some ideas) and by all means give suggestions on how to improve the movie for the next one.
I'm not sure when the second will be out, it just depends on when i feel like starting a second one

Huge late game trouble...

I think i need a bit of advice. Im currently very late in a game, on superhuman difficulty. I've researched every type of alien i can get exept for live micronoid aggerate, and ive got everything in the physics department... exept for ufo type 5... As it turns out from another site, i need this from the next type of dimensional craft. Right now the aliens are using motherships, battleships, and bombers along with escort ships to constantly bombard the city into the ground, pushing my rating lower and lower each week. I amcurrently at 30k a week for income, but i get any money i need by selling things like personal cloaking devices. I cant imagine how to get a destroyer to come out short of buying massive ammounts of vehicles and taking out every ufo that comes through the gates, and incurring massive losses and losing more money. I normally use hovercars armed with lineage plasma cannons but elerium can often be in short supply. Each week i can normally manage to take down a mothership or battleship, sometimes one of each and often a few bombers but i need some strategy for getting just one destroyer down. I dont want to have to be using bio transports for all of the alien dimension missions.......

Stupid stuff you've done

I was thinking about some of those stupid things that you accidentally do while playing apoc, or any other game for that matter. Ive done some dumb things in my time, but i was wondering, what dumb stuff do other people do?

For me, i can name two things. Just yesterday i got apoc working on xp finally! And i started a new game. When i was putting aliens into containment, i was wondering why i wasnt keeping some of the live ones... Then i remembered which side you had to drag the slider to to kill them, and which side to keep them . Turns out i had it backwards... Also when i was doing a regular mission in an office building about a year ago, i had primed a stun grenade, and was going to throw it, i just had to go down a floor to make it land in the right place. So i pressed the button with the down arrow on it and wondered why the veiw wouldnt change. Thats when i realized i had just made the guy drop his grenade, stunning him and a few others with him .

So if you have done dumb stuff in the past like this, then put it here! And if im the only one, then i have just made a total idiot out of myself...

Whats going on?

Im in the later stages of the game, 4 developing bases, mag ion armour, only need lobsterman commander for TLETH reaserch. Anyway, 2 REALLY weird things just happened, first, in a small sub, the biggest small size one (forgot name...), it was filled with Tasoths... wow, and in the right room, an aquatoid. A graphics error? or is the game screwing up? Also theres an alien sub floating right in the middle of africa... It hasnt moved for some time now...

Anyone konw whats happening? Is this normal, or is my game about to die?
