Is there anymore more to do besides minor stuff like speeling, building fighting tactics in-fill (blarch!) and the nasty one: testing weapon control modules? (I'm not doing it, I tried, but too many variables and I don't do code)

I think all the bugs have been found in Apocalypse. Almost '''50%''' found by me - thats my claim to fame! ...and that I invented stun raiding last century!.

And with anything, copy your stuff somewhere before you overwrite it. Got to test other maps now.

All apoc pages have maximal in-fill mefinks (TB nope) but can they ever be complete? Is there still a tactic missing?
  
−
...how else can I break this game?
+
My OCD-brain-dump is close to empty. Notes and scribbles from many others on ICQ and BBS over the years - thx.
  
 +
I've saved all the apoc pages as full html and also the edit-page text-versions of this whole apoc section so it is not lost if ufopedia waffs away or others edit this apoc section back into the junker that it was... 'ave yer fil.

Nothing more to add... its been fun.

Rewritting of alot of pages to make it more encyclo for the only reason: OpenApoc. I'm trying to have a (crono) logical format for each page, uniform layout, removing fluff, pub-talk, weasle-words, incorrect stuff, and rewriting alot of the cringey stuff I wrote back in the days... ahem: Stun Grapple Raids ...not saying that valuable contributions to the raid page by other authors is cringe, but mine certainly was! Eek!

'''POSSIBLE BUG''': being raided by a neutral which was targeting the government building WITHIN the next five minutes and that building was then purchased by X-Com. The base invaders did not trigger "Hostile Spotted" message, did not make X-Com agents fire at them, and did not fire at X-Com-anyone etc.<br>
 
−
The only way to complete the mission was to knockout one unit (anyone) with stun (any method) or to make one unit (agent or techie) escape via the access lift. The score at the end was '''0''' but all items were recovered.<br>
 
−
TESTED: used Apoc'd 3.06c to force a neutral to raid X-Com building. The situation was identical as above. Soo... being raided by neutrals is a thing!<br>
 
−
I'd claim this is a glitch and opposed to a bug.

IT IS DONE.

...no, really!

Is there anymore more to do besides minor stuff like speeling, building fighting tactics in-fill (blarch!) and the nasty one: testing weapon control modules? (I'm not doing it, I tried, but too many variables and I don't do code)

I think all the bugs have been found in Apocalypse. Almost 50% found by me - thats my claim to fame! ...and that I invented stun raiding last century!.

All apoc pages have maximal in-fill mefinks (TB nope) but can they ever be complete? Is there still a tactic missing?

My OCD-brain-dump is close to empty. Notes and scribbles from many others on ICQ and BBS over the years - thx.

I've saved all the apoc pages as full html and also the edit-page text-versions of this whole apoc section so it is not lost if ufopedia waffs away or others edit this apoc section back into the junker that it was... 'ave yer fil.

Nothing more to add... its been fun.

Goodbye,

Tony.

Don't do the blue chicken dance!
