I also wonder why the specter thig rig only has room for a gas mask and nothing else.

All funds made from facilities with a negative XML value defined in FacilityTypes.xml do not save into permanent memory.


The value is updated in the strategic screen or when withdrawing money, but when viewing the Laptop's Financial Screen or viewing your current finances after manually withdrawing cash the value is reset to its previous amount.


My guess is that there are two separate variables being accessed or the game's current finances variable is being overwritten/refreshed by another value in the backend somewhere.


Encountered in 7178 and it has apparently been occurring with versions before r7178.

I have a savegame where two mercs are training Militia, but the Militia will never appear. They just keep on training forever without anything to happen.

I can workaround the bug: If I give them the order to train militia again, I have to pay for it and it will work.

BASIC_RELIABILITY_ODDS in CTHConstraints will be set to 100 upon startup if user sets between 100 and 10000 as advertised in the description:

This bug's been around for at least a year.

When trying to fire beyond the weapon range, merc often says "bad chance to hit" quote and refuses to fire (you have to click again to fire).
It's very annoying in NCTH, because weapon's range is not a big problen in this system - you can fire at 1.5x normal weapon range and hit.

Another problem is that AI uses the same routine to determine chances to fire or taking cover.

INT8 ChanceToGetThrough( SOLDIERTYPE * pFirer, FLOAT dEndX, FLOAT dEndY, FLOAT dEndZ )

And if this function does not work correctly (in NCTH), maybe it can also cause the known "AI refuses to fire" problem?
