Didn't know if I should continue my other terror mission thread, or
start a new one ....  Since the question would not just apply to
terror missions, though, I figured a new thread wouldn't hurt.

Finally got a ship terror mission I could deal with last night ....
Aquatoids and Calcinites on a cruise ship.  I ended up losing half of
my squad (not really worth it) but had another "problem".  At the
start of the 2nd phase, more than 1/3rd of my squad was unarmed.  And
what weapons I did carry over to the 2nd part were empty of all
ammunition.  Fortunately, I had enough spare clips to reload those
weapons, though not having weapons for all my guys probably cost me
the lives of a couple guys.  I thought the empty weapons things was
fixed in TFTD ... I don't remember having that problem ages ago when I
had my last 2-stage mission.  Even more baffling, why was a large part
of my squad totally unarmed?  I can understand some .... one guy I had
drop all weapons because I discovered he was very easily
mind-controlled.  So, he spent the mission in the Triton, unarmed. 
Two others guys were knocked out by a Thermal Shok bomb, so I can see
them dropping their weapons and being unarmed during the next phase. 
But, why didn't the rest of my guys all have at least the weapons they
were carrying at the end of the mission, not to even mention why all
my ammo disappeared between missions?

Is this something that Xcomutil can fix?  (I didn't use the EQP flag,
though I could have, I suppose.)  I did have AutoEquip on .... that
wouldn't affect it, would it?  In this case, it wasn't so bad, but I'm
in big trouble come the artifact or base missions is my soldiers are
going to be unarmed like that.

Any ideas or suggestions for future missions?  Btw, this is the
Windows version of TFTD.

Thanks for any help.

Warren

I don't know about the missing weapons, but the missing ammo was an XcomUtil
bug that I recently fixed.  It was caused by my code that combines clips and I
THINK I disabled it for 2-part missions.  Now that I am back from vacation,
I'll try to look at that this weekend.

Scott,

    I've seen the same problem since starting to use the last non-beta
XCOMUTIL with TFTD.  Happy hunting!

Take Care,
Lee B.
