It's due to a wrong variable type. Thanks for report. To correct it open data\TacticalMod\TacticalRadarMap_40_.xscr and replace function GUIMRO_radarOnClick() by this one : Code: GUIMRO_radarOnClick() {     object      mouseCursor = getGlobalVariable("mouseCursor");     object      camera      = getGlobalVariable("camera");     int         offsetX     = GUIMRO_RADAR_X + 22;     int         offsetY     = GUIMRO_RADAR_Y + 8;     const int   gridSize    = 120;     float       mX, mZ;     float       pX          = mouseCursor.getPointerX();     float       pY          = mouseCursor.getPointerY();     float       resX        = mouseCursor.getResolutionX();     float       resY        = mouseCursor.getResolutionY();     float       f_xSize     = xSize;     float       f_zSize     = zSize;     // convert mouse coord in virtual screen (1024x768)     pX *= 1024.0/resX;     pY *= 768.0/resY;     mX  = (pX-offsetX) * f_xSize/gridSize;     mZ  = (pY-offsetY) * f_zSize/gridSize;     mZ  = f_zSize - mZ; // invert Z : (radar Y axis from bottom to top)     // -2 to center camera in the middle of the screen without GUI at bottom     moveCameraX( round(mX-camera.x)-2 );     moveCameraZ( round(mZ-camera.z)-2 );     camera.update(); }

How can you have a TBS game with no minimap? The reviewers were right to be critical of this. A question. Is it possible to put 'fog of war' on the minimap, so that you can see which area is unexplored from the minimap? This would be really useful...I imagine it might be quite hard though. Anyway, thanks again for your great work, and I'm looking forward to your 'weapon rebalancing' (the flamethrower etc). _________________ Check out the new UFO:ET forum at ufo-scene.com

It might be possible, and drawing walls too. It is also possible to take a screenshot (from top, without gui) to do a larger tactical map (for better lisibility) like in x-com enemy unknown.

When I leave a tactical map where I have been using the ReservedAP function, I often get crashes when I exit the map. Crashes BEFORE the auto-save, so that I have to replay the tactical map. I am using the patched game, GamersGate version, and I did already have BMan's mod installed... so that may of course be the problem in its entirety, that there is a conflict between BMan and Tactical, and if there is, I don't know which I will finally choose. Anyway, the problem according to the log file is: Code: [03:37:28.913] Leaving mission, we WON [03:37:29.407] Closing pack jungle [03:37:29.436] Object is null [03:37:29.436]     ASAPO_guiUpdateReservedAP (tacticalmod\autosaveactionpoints_30_.xscr 345:35) [03:37:29.436] Int values:1 Float values:3 String values:5 Bool values:6 Object values:9 List values:1 Null values:0 [03:37:29.442] Waiting for sounds to stop playing [03:37:29.980] Done waiting for messages. [03:37:30.956] scripts done [03:37:30.971] Switching console to window output [03:37:31.215] graphics done [03:37:31.215] input done [03:37:31.216] event done [03:37:31.217] Exiting with error The object reported as being null is the following: Code: ASAPO_guiUpdateReservedAP() {     int frame;     object ReservedAP = getGlobalVariable("ReservedAP");     // starts with MsgReservedAP_3.png     if (ReservedAP.updateTimedCall.n <= 5)     {         if (ReservedAP.updateTimedCall.n <= 2)        frame = 2 - ReservedAP.updateTimedCall.n;    else        frame = (ReservedAP.updateTimedCall.n % 3) + 1;         ++ReservedAP.updateTimedCall.n;         object img = ReservedAP.findSubObject("img");         img.changeImage("TacticalMod\\MsgReservedAP_" + frame +  ".png");     } else {         // finally hide         ReservedAP.setVisible(false);         ReservedAP.updateTimedCall.stop();     } } ...this line, to be specific: Code: if (ReservedAP.updateTimedCall.n <= 2) Any idea what could cause that? Anything I can do to help you find it?

In fact, I think that OVNI's minimap ought to be included in Frankenmod (especially if he is able to put fog of war on the minimap). _________________ Check out the new UFO:ET forum at ufo-scene.com

(Make a copy of the savegame maybe i'll need it, i failed to reproduce this bug) For now you can run TacticalMod.exe, select "AP_auto_reserve" in list, and desactivate it. Falrow << i'll see what i can do (todo list for 0.5 is becaming big :/ )

Basically whenever a red/green LOS Circle is drawn, draw an indicator at that location on the minimap also (but only if it is not hidden by fog of war). That way you can tell at a glance of the minimap which aliens you can shoot from your chosen position.

Also I had a bug where when I'd click on a part of the minimap it would center my screen on a spot below where I clicked, Ill try to track it down a bit more.

(Make a copy of the savegame maybe i'll need it, i failed to reproduce this bug) I understand. I'll see what I can do though, because when the bug appears, no save will have taken place. I'll try to provoke it, but chances are the saving procedure will fail again. OVNI wrote: For now you can run TacticalMod.exe, select "AP_auto_reserve" in list, and desactivate it. I noticed. The activation/deactivation function is very clever... but I WANT the auto-reserved APs. Maybe I'm imagining things, but I do not seem to get the bug if I deselect all reserves before the map quits.

Thanks a lot, now I can enjoy your excellently user-friendly reserveAP function without fearing having to replay my tactical missions. I am looking forward to the next version because you really focus on the necessary and useful things and execute the design of your ideas in such an intuitive manner. (Oh, I know you're just making the game more and more like the original X-Com, but you are very good at it.)
