Thank you sir!  I am definitely still a noob with OpenXcom, and recognize that I have a lot to learn, so I welcome any and all; "you are such a noob, you should have done it this way..." flames. ;)

Cheers, Ivan

Ufopaedia (https://www.ufopaedia.org), of course. To be more precise, in the Installing (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Installing_%28OpenXcom%29#Video_tutorial) page of the OpenXcom section (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=OpenXcom).

Great idea.  I will try to bring those into the series organically.  I am very much still learning these, but its such a great feature, I want to learn to master it.  (On a different level, I may not want to rely on them too much, because it will make it hard for me to finish my TftD series XD).

I have yet to find the comprehensive list of controls outside the in-game menu under the Options UI.  The "Controls" page is still not built on the wiki site.  When this page is up, it will make things much more accessible for the community.

Equipping our Troops Before we Launch? Awesome!


Note, also, that the battle load and weapon choices are a bit of a matter of preference. :)
