We tried mod.io integration some years ago, but there was no interest in it, you can see it here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,6556.msg141181.html#msg141181

If there's more interest we'll look into it again.

If you can code it, sure. Though you'll have to add the fixed ROLAND.CAT to the data patch.

I've opened a bug on sdl12-compat for you: https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/issues/215
Can you post your system info? (Fedora version, SDL2 version, etc)

Does your X-COM version have MIDIs? Some only have Adlib support.

Virus scanner?

None of the Advanced Options are vanilla. Some UI enhancements are enabled by default for convenience (and so people stop asking where they are :P) but they shouldn't impact difficulty.

So:
* storage limit for recovered items - original was YES - it was limited and lost, right?
* live alien sale - I think it was allowed ofc, right? so, YES
* Sneaky AI???
* allow psi-capture was OFF?
* allow psi-strength improvement was.... ON?
* override line of fire was OFF?
All of these would be OFF in vanilla.

In addition I think there were one more hurdle in UFO1 which can not be turned on - item limit was 80 right?
This can be enabled via Mods.

Changing the color formula now would just potentially break every mod for little benefit.

There's also an updated version by hellrazor: https://openxcom.mod.io/ufo-vanilla-variants

Offtopic / Re: Sabre Team (Swat game based on Xcom)

It might've been influenced by Laser Squad, since Krisalis was involved in its PC port.

Work In Progress / Re: XCOM PS1 music renaming

A new game always starts with the first music track, it's randomized afterwards.

You can find the old PSX mods here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,6155.0.html

There are only Tasoth Soldiers and Squad Leaders. There's no other rank.

Troubleshooting / Re: Video Settings Help

Your best option is to find the combination of Video Resolution and Geoscape / Battlescape Scale settings you're most comfortable with.

Released Mods / Re: New Mod Portal!
« on: September 24, 2021, 01:54:41 pm »
This bring me to one question, I was reading this form and I realized it's been a couple of years now and many mods haven't been re-posted, is there any thoughts on uploading all the old mods, giving credit to the original authors and allowing them to take over the mod release if requested, and possibly going through and editing the latest versions released to align with the 2.0 format and do any beta testing to weed out crashes?
This has been suggested a few times but people usually lose interest once they realize what a huge effort it is to update, test and republish all the mods.

I recommend starting small, if you still use an old mod that isn't on the portal, update it and share it with the community. Some authors might still reply if you PM them, if not credit the original author and respect their wishes, don't reupload any deleted or obsoleted mods. If they return you can give them back the mod, as mod.io allows multiple admins per mod.

Released Mods / Re: New Mod Portal!

It'll be a while until this rolls out so you have time to prepare and discuss. Do you want more mod.io features ingame? Less? Discuss!
Or not. :P

Anyways mod.io contacted us regarding integrating with OpenXcom, and put together for us a Windows test build with mod.io features built-in (subscribe/download/auto-update/etc): https://openxcom.org/download/OpenXcom-1.0.84b38ad88-modio-win32.zip
Is there interest in this? Try it out and let us known what you think!

Basic setup:
1. Turn on mod.io in the Advanced Options.
2. Access the portal via the new button in the Mods menu.
3. Login with your email address, a code will be sent to it to finalize the login.
4. Per-user data will be stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Mod.io\openxcom_modio, and the global mod directory is in %PROGRAMDATA%\Mod.io<game id>

This shouldn't interfere with any of your settings or manually-installed mods, but I recommend backing up your stuff just in case.
