well. i decieded to attack an artifact site, and i managed to kill off all the tasoths/tentalulats/jellyfish without any casualties, just one guy being mced and some guys being paniced. i kill the last tasoth, but my soldiers lose all their ammo. including the ones in their belt/shoulder. they are replaced with 5 clips. so i decide to unload all the guns before killing the last alien (i saved just before i killed it). i unload all ammo, kill, then save. now guess what? i only have TWO FREAKIN CLIPS! WHAT THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO FREAKING DO!?!?!?!?

Did the clips recombine? I'm not sure if tftd does that on it's own. Where you using xcomutil?

Hmmm, maybe the game reached its item limit and decided to cut the excess

The maximum limit in the battlescape is actually higher, but I guess the clips disappear from time to time.
So, your only course of action will be: 1. Bring in some infinite charge weapons. Like tazers and drills. 2. Scavenge more ammo! It's odd that the clips in your inventory should disappear after transitioning between levels in a multi-level mission. Only objects left on the ground and not on the Triton should vanish. Oh well, odd things happen. Are you using the Xcomutil batch file to run the game? It attempts to recombine clips, so it might think that the battle is over before the second half even begins. - NKF -------------------- Current Avatar Source: A sepia shot of Dualface from AC: Nexus.

If you're using XComUtil check to see if you have the latest version. One of the earlier versions had a bug that removed the extra clips between two part missions on TFTD and scattered them all over the battlefield.

I once had a sonic cannon loaded with an aquatoid corpse when I went on to the second part of an alien base assault...

Unsurprisingly not but I imagine it would have been one hell of a spectacular backfire if it had of done...

This is one of the reasons that explain why I don't use XComUtil...

QUOTE(ShadowBlade @ Jun 7 2004, 04:04 PM) This is one of the reasons that explain why I don't use XComUtil... When you run XCSetup you can disable the features you don't want to use. I really like XComUtil not because of the changes it makes to the game but because it really allows you to try new stuff, like playing UFO on Atlantis TFTD terrain, or adding extra aliens to the battlefield. Keeps the challenge of the game

shadowblade: uhhh....what reasons?
well, i reinstalled TFTD, and all is back to normal. and i also wonder: i'm trying out the "beta" version of the geoscape that scott has on his webpage, and it says that it has a different reaserch tree etc. is there a way to find out the reaserch tree? isn't the orgininal, ver 2 have a different reaserch tree? -------------------- 011110010110111101110101

It's just a few minor tweaks to ease things along a bit. Nothing spectacular though as the research tree tweaks will be mostly identical to the ones in the v2 update.
Like the tasoth commander should no longer show up for research even if you were able to find and capture one. Deep Ones may show up again after you've researched them, though I wouldn't hold my breath. Either way, they're way better than having the plain old V1.0 geoscape.exe! - NKF -------------------- Current Avatar Source: A sepia shot of Dualface from AC: Nexus. Some bloggery on the build.

deepone bug? whats that? and one other ting, do deep ones even appear in water? i mean, i assume they're called deep ones cuz their found in deep water, right? too bad/lucky tentaculats don't appear on land, they could've really heated things up.

I'm not familiar with H. P. Lovecraft's writings, but the 'The Deep-Ones' are actually a reference to the Tasoth (Well, 'Tasoth' is their name in TFTD anyway).
Regarding the bug: The Deep-One's buggy in general. Sometimes you will only be able to research it once, and only once. At other times, you'll be able to research it as long as you've got one in containment. As for finding Deep-Ones underwater: The answer is YES. You can find them underwater. In T'Leth's second level. No where else though. - NKF -------------------- Current Avatar Source: A sepia shot of Dualface from AC: Nexus. Some bloggery on the build.
