Title: METAL CANYON Open Xcom LP
Post by: Jstank on May 24, 2014, 07:35:59 am
Metal Canyon a very accomplished Let's Player will be starting an Open X Com Lets Play. The first video will be up very soon. He is very entertaining to watch and you should definitely check him out unlike my LP's that are less than par!

This Lets Play should be live possibly today or tomorrow!

Enjoy!

Somebody should message him about the newer version for item stacking, and the keyboard controls for force firing.

Why not include this info in options panel* ? These are really valuable improvements, removing most of (all ?) boring iconveniences of vanilla game.

* : I mean in some future release, with no way to activate or deactivate, just display it

Heheh cool videos. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I like seeing more and more OXC vids on the youtubes.

Anyway, I learned about Ctrl-click from watching a Let's play and then trying to figure out what he pressed, but it's common for CTRL to be used in this way.

Also Battle Bunny put out an excellent original LP of XCOM. It was very good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeKvYtXu5-A&list=PL2xITSnTC0Ynmos48XIXCErw4iV5-YWA1


It is complete however

Also the comments adds some flavor text to the whole LP because everyone who was a soldier did a little bit of roleplaying in there. It was brilliant and a whole mess load of fun!

I didn't think of reading comments. I usually disable them. Roleplay is awesome though, so we'll see if I got time for some of that for a live upload.

Could you try to unactivate all other mods and just activate these three mods one by one, and tell us if you still meet any issue ?

Thank you

I apologize,
I knew it as SOLDIER DIARIES, already I use it in my installation  :-[

ALDRON,

The only one that doesn't seem compatible with the latest nightly build is the commendations mod. In the newest version it crashes on launch. ( I had it installed right). In the previous version it crashes when you try to acess it from the memorial screen and changes the title screen to open x com.9 and does some wierd things in game like reverting the manufacture screen back to open xcom .9

I got the MIB and the THUNDERSTORM to work.

Ok, but Soldier Diaries mod asks to replace exe by new provided one, install some Dll, ...
I think you should either ask "Shoes" directly about its compliance, or wait for development team to integrate this development into future release
I think it is not really a "mod" as it needs executables to be adapted
