A total conversion mod that focuses on replayability and QOL.

some of the main features:

Battlescape:

• sprite changing based on loaded clips (currently on rifles)
• integrated Hyper & Trajectory
• integrated powered exoskeletons
• increased smoke and fire damages (incendiary now deadly against no resistances)
• fire inflicts morale loss & fatal wounds
• alien uses spotter & sniper tactic
• alien carries multiple primed grenades
• alien can be stunned from smokes
• aliens can surrender if you make them panic enough
• rifle and auto-cannon merged into automatic rifle and marksman's rifle that uses same ammo; AR has 3-shot burst for snap, MR aimed shot for snap (for reaction fires)
• heavy cannon is now an actual multiple grenade launcher with arcing shot
• small launcher can fire alien grenades
• hwp replaced by UGV. with dual-weapons and operator getting XP as well (buggy atm)

Geoscape:

• surface radar replaced with AWACS (thanks to redv)
• all crafts can now auto-patrol
• UFOs have chance to become Hunter Killers that could try to disengaged when damaged enough
• Built-in Cannon for interceptor & skyranger

Sorry to be direct, but could you please disable the filter? I can't see a damn thing, it's like looking at stuff through a wet shower glass...

umm sorry, using filters for 5 years straight must have made me blunt; blame some introductory article that led to me into openxcom that said "there's this awesome feature called graphic filters";

although I'm comfortable with graphic filters, it should propose a problem to many others. I'll take these screenshots again without filters (gonna be a hell of a work) tomorrow (for it is 2am now).

thank you for suggestion!

[Solarius Scorch]

And thank you for developing a new exciting mod! I hope we'll all be playing it in a year or so

v0.1.3a
new weapon: automatic rifle/grenade

• can be purchased from start
• can be loaded with Heavy Cannon ammo (bit OP at the mo because all 6 are loaded at once; will be fixed asap)
• supports different sprites for each ammo loaded (script updated to support all 16 possible combinations for 4 type of ammo)

Is this compatible with xcom files?

[Aemolia]

I know this mod was discontinued but I was still interested and wanted to try it. I moved the files into mods\openscarfcom like I do with all mods and I toggled OpenScarfCom to be on but nothing happens. I see only vanilla items and research as if it wasn't even installed. Is this a known issue?
