    UFO Extender

    Hi Tycho, awesome work with the mod! I did notice one particular bug: I decided not to use the Rowell Mod, so I left it as "apply=0" Yet I was still getting the messages that a UFO had crashed on its own. When prompted, if I clicked on "center on crash, time=5sec", it would center the geoscape over my base. At first I thought this wasn't a problem, only a nuisance. This would happen several times a month (around 5 at least), and I would click "cancel" and go on my way. But then something interesting happened: I started getting Base Defense Missions... one after another! After I successfully defended, another crash message would pop up, and sure enough I would soon get another Base Defense Mission. While it made for a practical influx of high priority alien captures (at a very early stage in the game, within the first 2 months), as well as a reasonable profit off of the weapons they dropped, it also made it very stressful and annoying. I was getting mind control attacks in my own base in the first month!! Anyhow, in the older version of UFO Extender, the text strings were found immediately under the [Roswell] header. But in your updated version, the text strings are found further down, under the [Text] header. While this makes for a very well organized file, I believe they are the cause of the "false" crash reports, which leads the game to think that I'm the one shooting down the UFOs (not sure if that's how the game handles the Roswell mod or if it's a side effect of this particular bug). Ultimately, I just commented out the lines with the text strings for the Roswell mod (as a further note, I am using the equipment screen text mod and the crash analysis mod, and I haven't meddled with either's text strings, just the Roswell mod's ones). I hope you can find out if it's reproducible; if it's an inherent problem of the Roswell mod; and if there's a possible solution (because the it would make the game extremely difficult as the aliens will be raiding your bases constantly).
