I agree with Breunor. It is a reasonable suggestion. In my previous post I just wanted to point out, that there should be no difference in terms of using weapon on Mars or Earth. Or am I missing something? As for all possible comibinations of atmosphere types, we can either go as Breunor suggested or just have something like that (where atmosphere type name is optional, but at least one must present): <atmosphere type> <vacuum/> <air/> </atmosphere type> Here we can even specify how each atmosphere will effect the weapon, but it is definitely V1+: <atmosphere type> <vacuum range="1000" accuracy="1"/> <air range="500" accuracy=".5"/> </atmosphere type> Regards, Mamutas -----Original Message----- From: xen...@li...

Subject: [Xenocide-programming] XML facility-item data Regarding the atmosphere type of air/water/vacuum, shouldn't that be put on most items? If we expand the game later to include the TFTD missions, I doubt we'd want the player using a pistol or incidiary rounds underwater for example. But a harpoon gun could be used out of water IMO, so it wouldn't be a "one or the other" type. Maybe you have 7 types: 1=air, 2=water, 3=vacuum, 4=air+water, 5=air+vacuum, 6=water+vacuum, 7=all. Then when the player gets to the site, the arming screen would only let you equip a soldier with items whose type matches the atmosphere. This point also brings up one of the laboratory ideas of having "weapon load templates", the member brought it up as using for a sniper vs. heavy assault type of load, but here you could create an "aqua" load, and have it switch weapons for you. It would be a hassle to have 24 soldiers loaded for water and switch to a land loadout, only to switch back for the next mission. But that is v1+ ideas, the point being that if you include this atmosphere type of every item, then that functionality would be possible later on.
