Due to the abundance of spam, we have to take a very zealous approach to forum registrations. If you are having trouble, make sure your account doesn’t look like a spammer. Answer the questions and CAPTCHAs correctly and avoid filling your profile with links or using very generic info that make you look like a spammer.

If you are still having trouble (account not activated, posts not working, etc.) feel free to contact us with your account name and other details of the problem so we can have a look at it and fix it.

Despite the current engine limitations, some fans are already planning for the future and making mods for OpenXcom in our forums, which I’m sure most of you don’t check (shame on you :P) so I’d like to highlight some stuff here:

– New Terror Mission Map Blocks

Sick of the same old terror site? Want some variety in your life? Well Luke83 brings us  a pack of brand new map pieces to spice up your terror sites. They’ll even be playable in v0.4!

– Hostile gangs and civilians

Remember all those times you happily blasted civilians out of your way? What if they actually fought back? Luke83 poses a dangerous dilemma for X-Com players everywhere.

– Aliens inventory

What if you could see aliens’ inventory? It… probably wouldn’t be that interesting, but regardless, luke83 has whipped up some inventory graphics just in case.

– New weapon graphics

Not enough weapons for you? Here are some interesting variations made by Chiko.

– HWPs suggestions

Have HWPs gotten too cold and lifeless for you? Do you wish you could make them more personal, change their weapon slots, maybe give them legs? Well Chiko has got you covered.

Note that most of these are just concepts, but they do give us ideas on what to add in the future. What about you, got some interesting ideas? Have you made custom maps, sprites or other mods for X-Com and would like to see them carried over to OpenXcom? We’d love to see what you got and support any fellow modding communities out there, so spread the word and show us what you got. 🙂
