Title: [WIP][OXCE][UFO] X-Com: Terror From the Unknown (TFTU)
Post by: Ethereal on September 24, 2017, 10:03:29 pm

X-Com: Terror From the Unknown (TFTU)

The main purpose of the modification is to combine UFO and TFTD, realizing the potential of OXCE+.

There are no plot deviations from the original, except for traitor-earthlings fighting on the side of aliens. The game features all races, technologies and ships of the original UFO and TFTD, with the addition of a lot of new features.

- The war takes place both on land and under water.
- 3 technological levels.
- Manned fighter aircraft.
- Manned tanks and cyborgs.
- Cargo aviation for faster and cheaper rotation of cargo and personnel.
- The characteristics of UFOs strongly depend on race.
- The characteristics of the aliens strongly depend on the level of difficulty.
- Aggressive UFOs that can attack X-COM aircraft themselves.
- Several monthly missions, the number of which increases with time.
- The damage of the weapon depends on the characteristics of the soldiers.
- Some types of weapons have an accuracy bonus depending on the type of infantry.
- The ships have power shields. Power shields on the battlefield.
- Some aliens are immune to various forms of psionic attacks.
- Used "Hybrid Globe - Vanilla" from luke83, for which many thanks to him!

Submods

 - Voices RA - Voice-over of global events.
 - Sound - A set of musical arrangements of different themes.
 - TFTD ICONS - An interface close to TFTD.

The translation into English is not professional, machine-made. Therefore, I apologize in advance for possible mistakes, but English is not my native language and I have never learned it and am not going to yet.

Mod added only what I thought was appropriate. That is consistent with the logic and atmosphere of Ufo and TFTD. Used a variety of mods to extract useful information. To list them will not undertake, because they do not remember where took. Because the authorship of build mods can be considered collective.

To compensate for the lack of titles and not to be impolite, I also do not specify myself as the author. Any resources of this modification can be freely used by anyone and as they want, without any notifications.

The modification has not been fully tested and will be finalized, but this does not mean that I will be able to provide technical support on a regular basis. I am not able to maintain a constant online and promptly respond to notifications.

Yes. In a translated English version of the play the game, in principle, possible, but a bad translation.

Edit: Nvm, found it

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: Ethereal on October 05, 2017, 01:28:45 pm

All in one folder "\standard\xcom1".

To compress it in a separate mod see no possibility, as some resources from "\EtherealMods(2)\UFO" is used. This is a temporary measure and are associated with the lack of graphics for Hallucinoid and Xarquid that I had to transfer from TFTD in its original form, due to the lack of compile them under UFO.

Yes, I almost forgot, I also have the names of the soldiers translated into Russian. But this is solved by replacing on original files with names.

Very cool! there are some minor bugs i've seen in a 10 minutes exploration, like STR_AIR_FUEL displayed in the purchase menu, and the mig in one of the hangar is dsplayed as "skyranger" while choosing the troops to put onboard. Hope to see soon  this on the mod portal, pheraphs that mod needs a name..?

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: Yataka Shimaoka on October 05, 2017, 02:30:14 pm

It should be "UFO: The Last Stand" though because of the monstrocity of the difficulty

The translator is already puffed, but there is no certainty that it is translated correctly. The hangar can accommodate 3 craft. Interceptors require pilots. Although they can't do ground missions, but to equip pilots with weapons. In case of an attack base. STR_AIR_FUEL - apparently not translated. The name of the mods? Not thought yeshe.

Do not put mod on top of something. And in compatibility with other mods there is no certainty.

Wow! Just looking at the strings I can imagine how many were added! But it is also a nightmare to fix, so I grabbed some help from my friends, man, I can see this mod as an another megamod. Name suggestion! X-Com: Total Invasion. Since this mod adds TFTD stuff, like almost everything TFTD has

Almost all. Unfortunately I have not found the compilation for UFO some map. In particular, this second level of the missions "CARGO(CARGO_SHIP_P2)", "LINERB(SHIP_RESCUE_MISSION)" and "A_BASE(ALIEN_COLONY_P2)". But I want to. Unfortunately, poor knowledge of English greatly complicates the search.

And the name ... X-COM-Union. Suitable? To be honest, I never thought about the name.

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: Yataka Shimaoka on October 06, 2017, 05:06:19 pm

So I can't sleep last night, (translating your strings, duh) I read your reply: X-Com-Union? So I tried some names based on your ideas, so here they are:
1)X-Com: Earth United
2)X-Com: The Battle for Earth
3)X-Com: Last Line
4)X-Com: The last Stand
5)X-Com: Frontier Wars

Like any of them?

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: Ethereal on October 06, 2017, 06:34:16 pm

1)X-Com: Earth United  :)

But what do I have to do? Do to rename the archive?
I have little experience in publications. In addition - everywhere everything is different.

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.

Nah, I'll do it, I'll edit the strings to change the name

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: Ethereal on October 12, 2017, 04:48:54 am

I made three new transports out of boredom. However, I have not yet figured out how to insert them into my mod (there are a lot of transports of different calibers), and therefore I spread as is.

Sorry for uploading this late, been busy, though some of the translations are correct, I only messed up with the ships first, though not yet complete, I'll keep you updated for more translations.
Replace the extraStrings.rul with the attached file

Everything is fine. And thanks for the help. It's just that earned, previously did not want to work., MapView. Now I do not have to, in case of need, to look for new transports. I can now make them myself.  :)

A weird thing: mod give at the very beginning 4 aircraft, but in the base are only 3 shown, but if i buil another hangar all of a sudden the missing one appears, it's the Skyranger  :o ;D

Edit: @Etheral: since the mods uses lots of real existings aircraft, may i suggest to to for a 3 starting planes setup: two interceptor and a (real) existing transport? for example an Boeing C-17 Globemaster III (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_C-17_Globemaster_III) instead of the Skyranger?

Post by: Ethereal on December 02, 2017, 01:14:14 am

For yourself - you are free to do anything. But I try not to replace anything, but just add. For me, there are so many transports in the fashion.

The hangar accommodates 3 ships. Only the first in the list are displayed.

No, I think and hopefully that this mod NOT to be published to the mod site, its not worth it. I didn't mean that the mod is bad, I mean that the Mod portal is somewhat unmaintained and has lots of issues

Post by: Ethereal on January 20, 2018, 08:06:55 pm

Comrades, mod is still frozen. I'm waiting for the output of the "Hunter-killer" options in any form, since the interception of the X-COM ships is already provided for in the plot. In addition, I can not turn water into the ground on the global map. This online editor - is a complete garbage. If there is where the normal global map editor - please give a link.

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: Ethereal on February 22, 2018, 08:40:42 am

- Added Hunter-Killer options. Some UFOs themselves are trying to attack transports and interceptors.
- Some UFOs have escorts.
- A lot of changes in the balance sheet.
- Sniper weapons are highly dependent on the accuracy of the soldier's shooting accuracy, both in accuracy and in damage.
- The most powerful explosive devices, depending on the accuracy of the Throwing of the soldier, both in accuracy and in damage.
- Сan shoot from a mortar only while sitting. Standing, getting into the goal is incredibly difficult.
- Added 5 new Ellerium transports.
- Infiltration mission enabled, but is a rarity.

The download link has been updated in the first post of the topic.

You can learn everything by the method of experiments. The mod itself is made as a base. I do not know what will work with him.

Update.
Several bugs fixed. Some changes in the balance sheet. Added some little things. Alien bases with radar and retaliatory actions, in case of detection of the player's aircraft.

The download link has been updated in the first post of the topic.

Update. Mainly aimed at realizing the potential of OXCE+. There is no only-secondary ammunition. I couldn't figure out where it would be best applied.

As far as I understand, the use of this mod on the Android tablet is impossible? I once downloaded the very first version, so everything was scattered around folders, in fact it was not a mod, but a complete replacement of the original OXC. The situation has not changed?
Насколько я понимаю, использование этого мода на планшете Андроид невозможно? Я когда-то скачивал самую первую версию, так там всё было раскидано по папкам, фактически это был не мод, а полная замена оригинального OXC. Ситуация не изменилась?
Since I do not know languages ​​other than Russian, then the mods with Russian language is very interesting to me.But I'm playing on Android, so that the mods with the converted exe I just do not work.
Поскольку я не знаю языков, кроме русского, то моды с русским языком меня очень интересуют. Но играю на Андроиде, так-что моды с переделанным exe у меня просто не работают.

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: Ethereal on July 26, 2018, 11:00:02 am

Чисто теоретически, то всё зависит от OXCE+. Кроме того, у меня нет устройств с Андройдом, что бы под него что-то делать. Можно попробовать установить версию OXCE+ для Андройда https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5258.0.html, поверх мода, но не заменяя файлы в папках "xcom1-2" а так же "common\SoldierName". Попробуй так. Может и получится.

P.S. Глянул я на версию для Андройда. Дааа. Вряд ли я тут что-то могу сделать. Вообще не понял что там и куда. Отстал я от жизни...

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: yergnoor on July 26, 2018, 01:24:47 pm

Да, у меня стоит именно эта последняя версия OXCE+ и она прекрасно справляется, например, с X-Files. Можно даже X-Piratez запустить, но 1 гигабайта оперативной памяти надолго не хватает с этим мегамодом.
То есть, по возможностям OXCE+ для Андроида практически ничем не отличается от того, что на компьютере.
Но вот с установкой поверх - не уверен. Поскольку при первом запуске приложение OXCE+ автоматически перезаписывает содержание папок common и standard, загружая в них стандартное содержимое (удобно при обновлениях, всё само на новое заменяется). А в твоём моде и они все переделаны донельзя. Почему я и спрашивал, не будет ли мод отдельно сделан, как большинство прочих.
Так-что, если только уже потом попробовать подменить - твой мод подгрузить. Нужно будет попробовать, как время свободное появится.

Post by: Meridian on July 26, 2018, 01:48:49 pm

The best solution would of course be to create a proper separate mod, like everybody else.

This could however work for you too:
1. install fresh Android OXCE+ version
2. copy Ethereal's mod on top of it... but DO NOT overwrite xcom1/interfaces.rul and xcom2/interfaces.rul (Android uses different versions than PC)
3. also DO NOT copy Ethereal's options.cfg... Android has different settings than PC

There will be some small problems with missing translations (not too many), but in general it should work.

@Ethereal: if you want, I can convert your package into a standalone mod, I just need access to the latest version and a few days time

Thank you for your offer of help, but I'll try to do it myself. There is one snag with the resources from the UFO folder. This is especially true of music.


EDIT

Recompiled. Just unpack to "openxcom\user\mods"folder. I hope it will be workable. At first glance, there is only a leapfrog in ufopedia, due to the fact that not affixed "listOrder", but I hope it is not very critical.

Нет, к сожалению, у меня не заработало. Вначале шла загрузка ресурсов игры и мода, но потом случилась какая-то несовместимость и приложение потребовало заново указать папки игры. Что-то пошло не так.
No, unfortunately, it did not work for me. Initially, there was loading of game resources and mod, but then some incompatibility happened and the application required to re-specify the game folders. Something went wrong.
Удалил мод из openxcom/mods (таково место хранения модов на Андроид), сразу всё заработало. А с данным модом не хочет.
I removed the mod from openxcom/mods (this is the place where mods are stored on Android), everything worked right away. And he does not want this mod.

This error "to_gauss 10" I also have. The funny thing is that despite the ERROR, Gauss resistance work. As for the armor and force shields. Repeatedly this tested. cyberDisckX.png checked. The file is intact and none of the versions of OXCE+ on it does not swear. This is weird.

As for compatibility with Android - about Android I only know that it exists. I know nothing more about him and never worked with him.

Android uses a newer version of SDL framework... and doesn't as easily get fooled by JPG disguised as PNG as the PC version.

The picture is in a format that OpenXcom doesn't officially support and needs to be converted.
The fact that it "works" on PC is just a lucky coincidence.

Наверное это все псевдо png, поскольку после того, как я их сконвертировал в настоящие png, мод начал работать.
And whether it will continue to work properly - it will be seen.
А будет ли и дальше правильно работать - видно будет.

Попытался поиграть. Первые впечатления были весьма положительными, большое разнообразие всего. Вот только... чересчур уж всё мощное и точное, да и характеристики бойцов, даже в самом начале, слишком хорошие. В результате, у пришельцев просто нет шансов. Интерес теряется. Правда, я запускал на самой низкой сложности, чтобы попробовать.
I tried to play. First impressions were very positive, a great variety of everything. But ... too much all powerful and accurate, and the characteristics of the soldiers, even at the very beginning, are too good. As a result, the aliens simply do not have a chance. Interest is lost. True, I ran at the lowest complexity to try.

Теперь про ошибки. Если взять на миссию бронемашину, то при попытке её выбрать, игра намертво зависает. В лог, при этом, никакой ошибки не записывается. Попробовал вместо бронемашин взять танки, с ними никаких проблем.
Now about the mistakes. If you take on the mission of an armored car, then when you try to choose it, the game hangs tight. In a log, thus, any error is not written down. I tried to take tanks instead of armored vehicles, with them no problems.

Вот два сохранения. В первом, два дроида и две бронемашины на борту. Дроиды действуют нормально, но если перейти к бронемашинам, то всё застывает. Может, это только на Андроиде так, не знаю. Во втором сохранении два танка и два дроида, там в бою проблем нет.
Here are two save. In the first, two droid and two armored cars on board. Droids operate normally, but if we go to armored cars, everything freezes. Maybe it's only on Android so I do not know. In the second conservation two tanks and two droids, there are no problems in battle.

Post by: yergnoor on July 27, 2018, 10:29:06 am

Проблема с бронемашинами решена - они теперь работают.
The problem with armored vehicles is solved - they are now working.

Дисбаланс скорее к роботам относится, чем к людям. Они слишком сильны для начального этапа. И под их прикрытием солдаты мало рискуют. В обычной игре, вернуться с первых миссий, за исключением лёгких разведчиков, и не потерять хотя бы двух бойцов - большая удача. Здесь же я дроидами всех врагов расстрелял, солдатам даже выходить не пришлось.
Imbalance is more like robots than people. They are too strong for the initial stage. And under their cover, soldiers take little risk. In the usual game, to return from the first missions, except for easy scouts, and not to lose even two fighters is a great success. Here I dped all the enemies, soldiers did not even have to go out.

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: Ethereal on July 27, 2018, 11:17:45 am

Ну, здесь разница в подходе к делу. Вся эта бронетехника и нужна для сохранения жизни солдат. И стоит она не дешево. Я бронетехникой редко стреляю, поскольку иначе солдаты не получат опыт. А прокаченный солдат намного круче всех этих роботов и танков и тем намного ценнее, чтобы рисковать его жизнью.     

Кстати странно, что ты доридами всех перестрелял. Они сами хрупкие и их сносят с плазменных пистолетов крайне быстро. Особенно на террорах и базах. На открытой местности они хороши, но они не получают опыт.

А танки да, даже начальные, рассчитаны на то, что они должны выдерживать несколько ударов Тяжелых Плазменных и Акустических орудий. В конце концов это ТАНК, а не легковой автомобиль из оригинала, который рассыпался даже от пролетающих рядом снарядов.

Well, there's a difference in approach. All this armor and need to save the lives of soldiers. And it is not cheap. I rarely shoot with armored vehicles, because otherwise the soldiers will not get experience. And pumped soldiers are much cooler than all these robots and tanks and so much more valuable to risk his life.     

By the way, it's weird that you shot everyone with droids. They are fragile and take down with plasma pistols extremely fast. Especially on terror and bases. They're good in the open terrain, but they don't get the experience.

Tanks and Yes, even the initial calculated that they must withstand several blows with a Heavy Plasma and an Acoustic cannon. After all, it's a TANK, not a civilian car from the original, which crumbled even from flying nearby shells.

Update.
 - Fixed insane amounts of fuel in ships.
 - Lobstermans transferred from the category of terrorists in a separate race.
 - Added 3, not typical for the series, terrorist.
 - Increased bonus aliens for the level of difficulty.
 - A lot of small changes aimed at complicating the game.
 - Infiltration mission activated. Upon Infiltration, a special base will appear, which is different from the others. If it is destroyed, the country will be returned.
 - There's a 50% chance to prevent the construction of alien bases and infiltration. We need to intercept a special ship-Builder of Bases.
 - The action of psionic is very difficult. Distance is limited. All aliens have increased psionic defense.
 - Fixed some game settings.

Update.
 - Some changes in the balance sheet.
 - Added additional modules for base. Maps-duplicates of existing modules.
 - In the version with the mod, Ufopedia was partially brought into a kind of order.

The mod does not need to be compiled.

You can use OXCE for MacOS (I gave you the link several times already) and just copy the mod into the mods folder.

PS: MacOS doesn't like 8bit GIFs, don't know if this mod uses GIFs... if yes, you might need to convert them into PNGs

The problem is that the latest version of this mod does not have a standalone version. The mod is an OXCE game folder with its exe. And the mod itself replaces the vanilla version of UFO in it, the resources are not located in the user/mods/ folder but in the standard/xcom1/. Therefore, without understanding the mod structure, it is difficult to extract it separately from the rest.
Now I tinker and made a separate mod, by editing the file metadata.yml. I tried it - it works on the latest version of OXCE for Android, you can even put it in the mods folder as an attached archive without unpacking it.
Addition 26.02.2019
The mod file has been replaced due to an error detected. Thank you for the message about her NebulaM78.

yergnoor Thank you very much, comrade. I don't have an Android and I can't test it.

Title: Re: Build mods from Ethereal.
Post by: yergnoor on February 26, 2019, 06:12:56 am

Ethereal, Android is what I tested (for lack of something else), but OXCE works the same on different devices, except for some nuances. Such as the lack of a computer keyboard in Android or problems with the display of gif in MacOS. But the mod action itself does not depend on a particular device. Therefore, it is enough to check the usual OXCE, only without a converted set of rules, as is done in your mod build.
The only significant difference of my version is the absence of the Russian version of the recruitment of names for X-Com soldiers. These names are located in a different place (not in standard/xcom1/), so they were not included in the mod. True, I was thinking of making an autonomous mod with Russian variants of names, as it was done, for example, in X-Piratez. The matter is simple, but for Western players it’s still more convenient to use original names, so the Russians could include only those who need it.
The rest of the alteration was incredibly simple. Since all your resources are located in the xcom1 folder (with the exception of the original UFO game data), it is already a ready mod. It was only necessary to change the metadata from the ones that the UFO game had to those that the mod had to have. And now what happened can be used on any device that has OXCE. If you want, you can also make standalone versions of your mod and subsequently, but only until all changes are made in the same xcom1 folder.
Judging by the fact that none of those who downloaded my version wrote about the error, it works not only for me.

Well, here all this text is in Russian.

Ethereal, Android - это то, а чём тестировал я (за неимением другого), но OXCE работает одинаково на разных устройствах, кроме некоторых нюансов. Таких как отсутствие компьютерной клавиатуры в Android или проблемы с отображением gif в MacOS. Но само действие мода от конкретного устройства не зависит. Поэтому и для проверки достаточно обычного OXCE, только без переделанного набора правил, как это сделано в твоей сборке мода.
Единственное значимое отличие моего варианта - отсутствие русского варианта набора имён для солдат X-Com. Эти имена располагаются в другом месте (не в standard/xcom1/), поэтому в мод и не попали. Правда, я подумывал сделать автономный мод с русскими вариантами имён, как это сделано, например, в X-Piratez. Дело несложное, а для западных игроков всё-же удобнее использовать оригинальные имена, поэтому русские могли бы включать только те, кому это необходимо.
В остальном же переделка была невероятно проста. Поскольку все ресурсы у тебя расположены в папке xcom1 (за исключением данных оригинальной игры UFO), то она уже является готовым модом. Нужно было только изменить метаданные с тех, какие были у игры UFO, на те, которые должны быть у отдельного мода. И теперь то, что получилось можно использовать на любом устройстве на котором есть OXCE. Если захочешь, то можешь так-же делать автономные версии своего мода и впоследствии, но только пока все изменения производятся в одной папке xcom1.
Судя по тому, что никто из скачавших мой вариант не написал об ошибке, работает он не только у меня.

NebulaM78, ​​are we talking about a separate version of the mod? If so, which version of OpenXcom was used to launch? The mod from Ethereal can only work with OpenXcom Extended, version of December 22, 2018 or later. If you use the usual OpenXcom, not Extended, an error will be generated.
With the usual installation method (original from Ethereal), the required version of OXCE is already attached. When used as a mod, the user himself should do it.
P.S. I forgot to specify this part, because I use the application on Android, and for it the current version exists only OpenXcom Extended.

NebulaM78, ​​I think I understood, and this is my fault. The fact is that I borrowed for myself from the Ethereal mod its set of names written in Russian letters. It's more convenient for me to play not only with his mod, but also with others. But in his mod For some types of soldiers, specific files are indicated, from where names must come. Like the one you specified SoldierName/19-Russian.nam - a certain kind of soldiers is hired only among Russians (there is another kind hired in Japan). I have this file available, therefore The mod started, but with the original OXCE names it failed, there the names of the files with the names others.
Try to replace inside the mod file soldiers.rul on the attached. I changed the pointers to those that operate inside normal OXCE.
I apologize and ask to write about the result. I myself can not check whether it happened correctly. If everything works, then I will upload the mod file above. Thank you for writing about the error.
Addition:
Fine! I see that while I was fighting with the Google translator (it slows down the drafting of comments) you have already figured out the reasons. In any case, the error is an error and the mod file will have to be changed. That each new user did not face this problem.

Update.

- Added multiple studies for profit in the form of items (so that scientists can pay for themselves, and to stimulate the creation of a second base with laboratories).
- Many different improvements and fixes.
- We need spaceships to attack the Infiltration Bases.
- Numerous balance edits.

The mod is hybrid, but all underwater terrains are tied to TFTD ships. I can't implement "fakeUnderwater" yet, because "Terrain Pack" from Hobbes is installed. How within it to make it I do not know. I know about the hybrid mod from Precentor Apollyon, but I'm not ready to give up the "Terrain Pack", in addition there is changed (not for the better) the appearance of the globe.

Above all. The mod is now implemented as a separate mod, as strange as it may be. I checked his work on Win XP (32) and Win 7 (64).

To be honest, making the globe is the hardest part with the current tools available. I have to make certain compromises because the polygons are easy to go crazy when I am building the globe.

Alas, but I crash when I try to run this mod and load its resources. I have the latest version of OXCE - 6.1.1, only for Android, not on your PC. But it should work the same way. If you check the log, the game does not like the formats of graphic files, many of them, until you do not get completely unacceptable.
As far as I remember, Meridian has adapted many mods to the requirements of the new OXCE. Would it be worth it to do with this? Or is it impossible?

The red background, of course, is beautiful, but I still need the original one. Buttons - I do not quite understand. They are not tied to the globe. The globe itself is more like a TFTD. If you can combine the TFTD globe, with the drawing of depths, with the UFO globe - it will be a masterpiece!

I think it's worth asking the opinion of the whole community. Someone needs a hybrid globe, someone original from UFO, someone original from TFTD.

I many times I tried to do something with the globe and it did not end with anything good. In any case, I will use only what will be published for general use.

I've tryed the version linked in the post above, and the mod still need some refinement, anyway i'd take out that small hangar and the "combined module" and add the corridor, And why the mig bis? Researching laser weapons gives the sniper rifle to buy, and the laser pistol to research.

Post by: Ethereal on January 17, 2020, 10:26:28 am

Update.

- "Terrain Pack" is removed and is no longer used.
- Used "Hybrid Globe - Vanilla" from luke83, for which many thanks to him!
- For underwater (conditionally) missions, all TFTD territories are used. (Thanks to luke83 and Precentor Apollyon)
- Missions can be performed anywhere, both on land and in water, without restrictions on ships, weapons and ammunition. I do not consider it necessary to introduce these restrictions, so as not to confuse the player (and himself) with unnecessary management.
- Added landscape sounds.
- Slightly reduced the effectiveness of infantry armor.
- Added 4 new TFTD style UFOs.
- Small balance changes, bug fixes and various little things.
- Added Aquatoid race. Now there are all races of UFO and TFTD.
- Mixed crews are now really mixed. "membersRandom" in all respects.

Add.

- Updated Hybrid Globe - Vanilla "from luke83.
- A friend asked to return the starting bonus for gold, because without it, according to his statement, it would not be possible to develop normally before meeting with large ships, against which the starting averation is absolutely useless, and serious contingents of terrorists, against whom more advanced armor and weapons are needed.

You don't expect players to have to browse through some large forum they aren't otherwise interested in, right? I mean it's possible, I've done this (for example for Dwarf Fortress mods), but it's kinda hellish.

I'll think about it. But not before the release of the option for "Fatigue" in OXCE.

Yes, I forgot. Here's a save to demonstrate the mod's capabilities.

The fatigue option was rejected already long ago and will not be implemented.

You can use the mana feature to simulate fatigue, like XCF or Piratez.

Update.

- Updated script for energy shields.
- New item - Personal shield generator.
- Some terrorists and alien sword got vampiric attack.
***When updating, the old "Ruleset" folder in the modification must be deleted. Or deleted "armorWithEnergyShields.rul".***

Many thanks to comrade Meridian for posting videos of passing games on his YouTube channel. Thanks to his videos about XPiratez, I learned about an improved script for energy shields.
Separate respect for videos on Heroes of Might and Magic. I love this series of games.
And of course thank you Yankes for great scripts.

Update.
- Full transition to "fakeUnderwater", with underwater suits, missions and some animation replacement. "Vapor" doesn't work under "fakeUnderwater", but that's not for me question.
- ammunition for armored vehicles is packed in clips, which are much less needed to fully weapons charges armored vehicles.
- Disabled highlighting for new themes. Disabled display of unnecessary characteristics in the inventory.
- 4 new terrorists of varying degrees of danger.
- Rebalance. Correction of old errors and creation of new ones.

Update.

- The mod has been renamed. New name - X-Com: Terror From the Unknown (TFTU)
- Added a revolver and a double-barreled sawn-off shotgun.
- Various balance edits. Bug fixes.

It would be great if at least someone tested this hybrid and pointed out errors in the balance. I am not a fan of great difficulties in the game and everything suits me, but I am ready to finalize the public version of the modification for adequate requirements in terms of complexity.

Update.

- Alien Alloys are available for research after examining the Corpse of the Deep One. (Back to basics. It's more interesting.)
- Added mission with minor terror. Disappears later.
- Replaced the map for "TCF CRUISER", borrowed from XPiratez, with a more convenient one for deploying troops, of our own production.
- Bug fixes, balance edits.

Title: Re: [WIP][OXCE][UFO] X-Com: Terror From the Unknown (TFTU)

- Supply station has been removed . Basic equipment is available for purchase at all bases.
- On the maps of the upper level of the "alart" Artifact there were no points for placing large alien units and, in general, there were not enough points for placing aliens. Fixed.
- Added 5 new UFOs of the TFTD class.
- Mi-24 and Archangel were replaced by ships from TFTD.
- Rebalance. Correction of old errors and creation of new ones.

Ummm

Is the maintenance for the robotic plant supposed to be negative 5 million?

If that's intentional I'm scared by the economy setup here.

Just finished the Ufopeadia article.

Yeah I'm very scared.

Also, a lot of melee weapons say 1 damage (like the dagger, the katana, the sledge hammer, etc)
Is that also intentional?
When I see that, is it safe to assume that damage scales with strength/melee accuracy?

Ok yeah I just checked stats for nerds.
That's pretty sweet.


Just... holy crap this is almost too much.

Nevermind, it is too much for me right now.
But I can tell that all the options are going to be useful, and I do like the feeling of having to really think hard and learn about which strategies work best for me.

This has everything I would want in a modpack and more.

I'm also going to vote for putting it on the mod.io site, cause I only found this by random chance, and I can already tell that it's too good to be confined to obscurity.

Ну, так задумано, вообще-то. Никто же не обязывает на все точки сбитых НЛО летать. За их исчезновение нет никакого штрафа. Просто расчёт на то, что на каждой базе будет по 3-4 перехватчика и 2-3 транспорта с десантом. Уж тем более вначале, где ни один из стартовых самолётов не способен тягаться один на один даже с средним НЛО. Если это возможно, даже с продвинутым оружием, то это надо исправить.

Нет. УФО это смесь глобальной стратегии и тактики. А если инженеров всего сотни две, то их конечно хватать не будет. Оптимально их нужно хотя бы 1000. Тогда этих производственных мощностей на всё хватит.

Post by: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Полетел на Марс и всех победил. Ура!

Теперь замечания по игровому процессу:

Очень порадовало, что пилотам "капает" опыт.
Не порадовало, что нашел это случайным тыком по клавиатуре. Хотелось бы небольшое введение в уфопедии, как в TWoTS+

Понравилась возможность ставить оружие/модули на четыре пилона.
Хотелось бы, чтобы прямо в режиме снаряжения корабля отображались мощность щитов, скорость и т.п. А то непонятно, какие изменения вносит модуль. Заглядывать в уфопедию каждый раз неудобно.

Очень много кораблей и оружия. Больше половины нет смысла использовать. Приходится выписывать характеристики из уфопедии на листочек, и постоянно смотреть "инфо".
Непонятно, зачем нужны транспортные самолеты, которые не могут высаживать десант. Или куча откровенно слабых транспортников. Тот же "Ми-8", например, с объемом отсека в 20 юнитов, если при старте дается "Хокай" с  объемом отсека в 26 юнитов.
В начале игры лететь откровенно слабыми 20-тью солдатами на миссию с несколькими десятков алиенов - бред.
В конце игры транспортные самолеты берут под 40 солдат, и пересаживать их на "Ми-8" смысла нет.

В "инфо" куча непонятных значений. Например, у брони параметр "Пси камуфляж"-9  - это много или мало ? И что оно вообще такое ? И как увидеть итоговые значения всего надетого на самом солдате ? В той же TWoTS+ определенная броня давала "плюшки" в виде обнаружения алиенов за стеной.

В роботах/платформах в "инфо" есть некоторые непереведенные строки (или отсутствующая в моде технология)
Пример - "ОБОЛОЧКА БИО-ДРОНА". В "инфо" строки STR_MOTION_SCANNER_A и X-XOM_PSI_WEAPON_2

Абсолютно бесполезное оружие вида топор/копьё/тамагавк и еще пара десятков.
Большую часть игры проходил с лазерными мечами. Убивают большинство алиенов с одного удара, и таймюниты не тратятся.
Второе оружие - лазерная винтовка. Убивает большинство алиенов с одного выстрела. Кроме того, пробивает броню корабля.

Абсолютно бесполезные исследования 99% алиенов. Никакой новой технологии не открывают.
Например, в "Final Mod Pack (FMP)" летающий костюм появляется после "гравитационного модуля", который надо извлекать из "флоатера"; а биоброня - из синтетических мышц, которые надо извлекать из мутона.

Так и не смог понять, как работает дерево технологий. В поле ввода вводил "LAS", "BLAS", "SONIC", слова на русском. Ничего не выдало.

Очень порадовали комбо-модули на базе. И вообще, строительство базы. Но есть и замечания.
О том, что не хватает боеприпасов для какого-то вида ПВО - узнаю только во время нападения на базу.
В комбо модуле "Общий центр обучения" непонятно, как солдат отправить в спортзал. Возможно им назначить только "пси-тренировку".
Имеет смысл уменьшить дальность радаров. С постройкой "Стратегический радар" две базы практически перекрывают весь глобус.
Может, как вариант - сделать "расширенную информацию" по базе, где будут параметры, типа "восстановление здоровья", "энергия ментального щита" и т.п. ?

Не понятно, сколько надо строить модулей ПВО. Я подозреваю, что где-то в уфопедии есть "итоговое количество"  принимаемого урона "тарелкой" (например, броня+щит). Ориентируясь на тот же "Линкорн", можно было бы узнать нужное количество ПВО, достаточное, чтобы его сбить.

Нигде не описано, что такое "концентрация" и для чего она нужна.

Исследования "культа" ничего не дают. Не дает исследовать "фанатик", "жрец", "верховный жрец".

Повторюсь. Очень. Очень много уфо. Появляются 3-4 раза в день. Игра превращается в "кликер".

Очень. Очень много алиенов даже на простой миссии. В результате миссия превращается в "закидывание пушечным мясом".
В отличие от оригинальной X-COM, где на простые миссии можно было летать на "Рейнжере" с парой солдат и парой танков, а на более сложные миссии на том же "Мстителе".
Теряется вся индивидуальность бойцов, когда на миссию их берется несколько десятков. В оригинальной X-COM, например, для того, чтобы повысить у бойца силу, на него нагружалось очень много оборудования и он всю миссию бегал по полю боя. Аналогично со стрельбой.
Когда бойцов на миссии меньше десятка, для каждого бойца подбирается индивидуальная тактика.
В отличие от того же "Final Mod Pack (FMP)", снайпера и снайперское оружие - абсолютно бесполезные юниты.
Как вариант - на базе строить "тренировочные" модули, которые будут развивать конкретные навыки у солдат, а не "среднепотолочные".
Та же пословица "воюют не числом, а уменьем" тут вывернута наоборот. На миссию берется несколько десятков "усредненных" солдат, и победа достигается не за счет тактических приемов, а за счет огневого превосходства.

Разные цвета плащей у "флоатеров" и разные цвета "мутонов", как и два новых юнита ("терминатор" и "серый кибердиск") я увидел только на Марсе. Почему-то в обычных миссиях они не встречаются.

Понравились наличие "вбоквел" миссий, типа освобождение захваченной военной базы и т.п.
Но во первых, они абсолютно не участвуют в сюжете, в отличие от той же  TWoTS+, во вторых - нету их описания. Заголовок "Активность" не несет никакой информации. Никаких "плюшек" за них не дают.

И  как всегда, еще раз доработанный файл переводов с исправлениями.

Полетел на Марс и всех победил. Ура!

Теперь замечания по игровому процессу:

Очень порадовало, что пилотам "капает" опыт.
Не порадовало, что нашел это случайным тыком по клавиатуре. Хотелось бы небольшое введение в уфопедии, как в TWoTS+

Посмотрим. Возможно сделаю.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Понравилась возможность ставить оружие/модули на четыре пилона.
Хотелось бы, чтобы прямо в режиме снаряжения корабля отображались мощность щитов, скорость и т.п. А то непонятно, какие изменения вносит модуль. Заглядывать в уфопедию каждый раз неудобно.

Это вопросы к авторам OXCE.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Очень много кораблей и оружия. Больше половины нет смысла использовать. Приходится выписывать характеристики из уфопедии на листочек, и постоянно смотреть "инфо".

По большому счёту это для разнообразия. На чём хочешь, на том и летай. А вот с оружием всё хитро. Самое дальнобойное зачастую бесполезно при атаке агрессивных НЛО. По крайней мере так задумывалось. Посмотрим, что можно сделать.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Непонятно, зачем нужны транспортные самолеты, которые не могут высаживать десант.

Это грузовые корабли для оперативной ротации персонала и снаряжения между базами. Сокращает время доставки и экономит деньги, хотя и ценой нескольких десятков кликов.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Или куча откровенно слабых транспортников. Тот же "Ми-8", например, с объемом отсека в 20 юнитов, если при старте дается "Хокай" с  объемом отсека в 26 юнитов.
В начале игры лететь откровенно слабыми 20-тью солдатами на миссию с несколькими десятков алиенов - бред.
В конце игры транспортные самолеты берут под 40 солдат, и пересаживать их на "Ми-8" смысла нет.

На Супермене будет как раз "Ми-8" со старта, а на "Хокай" придётся деньги тратить. Он только на самом лёгком уровне даётся.

Ну, как бы стартовая авиация устаревает и после открытия авиации из Сплавов её использовать не имеет смысла. А с появлением Эллериумной авиации, устаревает и авиация из сплавов.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

В "инфо" куча непонятных значений. Например, у брони параметр "Пси камуфляж"-9  - это много или мало ? И что оно вообще такое ? И как увидеть итоговые значения всего надетого на самом солдате ? В той же TWoTS+ определенная броня давала "плюшки" в виде обнаружения алиенов за стеной.

Небесные имеют Пси-зрение, как и некоторые террористы. Пси камуфляж частично парирует эту способность.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

В роботах/платформах в "инфо" есть некоторые непереведенные строки (или отсутствующая в моде технология)
Пример - "ОБОЛОЧКА БИО-ДРОНА". В "инфо" строки STR_MOTION_SCANNER_A и X-XOM_PSI_WEAPON_2

Посмотрим. Кстати у пришельцев тоже самое.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Абсолютно бесполезное оружие вида топор/копьё/тамагавк и еще пара десятков.
Большую часть игры проходил с лазерными мечами. Убивают большинство алиенов с одного удара, и таймюниты не тратятся.
Второе оружие - лазерная винтовка. Убивает большинство алиенов с одного выстрела. Кроме того, пробивает броню корабля.

Ничего себе бесполезные... Топор при Силе и Точности Рукопашной в 200 даёт + 200 урона. Им даже Мутона можно с одного удара убить. Да, если не заметил, то всё оружие имеет бонус к урону от характеристик солдат. Я видел сохранения и понимаю почему у вас сложилась такая иллюзия. При нормальных характеристиках даже тяжелый лазер не пробивает корабль.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Абсолютно бесполезные исследования 99% алиенов. Никакой новой технологии не открывают.
Например, в "Final Mod Pack (FMP)" летающий костюм появляется после "гравитационного модуля", который надо извлекать из "флоатера"; а биоброня - из синтетических мышц, которые надо извлекать из мутона.

Я пытаюсь не слишком далеко отходить от оригинала, а там 100% исследований пришельцев не дают новых технологий.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Так и не смог понять, как работает дерево технологий. В поле ввода вводил "LAS", "BLAS", "SONIC", слова на русском. Ничего не выдало.

Я тоже не понимаю как оно работает и никогда им не пользовался. Это функция OXCE и к ней никакого отношения не имею.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Очень порадовали комбо-модули на базе. И вообще, строительство базы. Но есть и замечания.
О том, что не хватает боеприпасов для какого-то вида ПВО - узнаю только во время нападения на базу.
В комбо модуле "Общий центр обучения" непонятно, как солдат отправить в спортзал. Возможно им назначить только "пси-тренировку".
Имеет смысл уменьшить дальность радаров. С постройкой "Стратегический радар" две базы практически перекрывают весь глобус.

С стационарными системами обороны разберусь. Будут требовать свои боеприпасы для постройки и описания поправлю.
Центр обучения, не знаю не знаю. Посмотрим, что можно сделать.
Стратегический радар - увеличу цену обслуживания на пару лямов, что бы не выгодно ставить было на всех базах.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Может, как вариант - сделать "расширенную информацию" по базе, где будут параметры, типа "восстановление здоровья", "энергия ментального щита" и т.п. ?

Это тоже не ко мне. Подобные вещи требуют расширения основного кода OXCE.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Не понятно, сколько надо строить модулей ПВО. Я подозреваю, что где-то в уфопедии есть "итоговое количество"  принимаемого урона "тарелкой" (например, броня+щит). Ориентируясь на тот же "Линкорн", можно было бы узнать нужное количество ПВО, достаточное, чтобы его сбить.

Это опят недоделки OXCE. По опыту могу сказать, что в первые 3-4 месяца нужно 4-5 Ракетных ПВО. Их хватит что бы сбить НЛО, поскольку ничего страшнее средних летать не будет. Потом уже нужно будет ставить 3-4 продвинутых системы при двух гравитационных щитах.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Нигде не описано, что такое "концентрация" и для чего она нужна.

Я даже не знаю где это написать. Но сама Концентрация расходуется на стрельбу, пси атаки, лечение... на всё. А до открытия спец химии восстанавливается только на базе. Кроме того, урон от Акустики и оглушения, бьёт по Концентрации.

Quote from: Dmitry on August 29, 2021, 04:45:44 pm

Исследования "культа" ничего не дают. Не дает исследовать "фанатик", "жрец", "верховный жрец".

А что их исследовать? Это же люди. Обычные люди, только с поехавшей крышей. Их трупы только нужны для создания киборгов.

Потому, что я исходил не из соображения спецопераций, а из соображений военной операции, где нет места сольным героям и победа достигается за счет дисциплины и огневого превосходства. Да, так и должно быть.

Новых юнитов гораздо больше, просто игра рассчитана на тягомотину в пару лет. Например смешанные экипажи с терминаторами начинают летать не раньше 12 месяца.

Обновление.
- Ослаблена стартовая авиация.
- Ослаблено самое дальнобойное корабельное оружие.
- Пересмотрены бонусы НЛО для рас летающих с начала игры.
- Стационарные системы обороны теперь требуют используемые боеприпасы для постройки. Информация о типе боеприпасов добавлена в описание в Уфопедии.
- Произведены некоторые правки описания, на основе присланного Dmitry файла с исправлениями в тексте, за что ему большое спасибо.

Update.
- Weakened starting aircraft.
- It weakened the most long-range ship's weapons.
- Revised UFO bonuses for races flying from the start of the game.
- Stationary defense systems now require usable ammo to build. Ammo type information added to description in Ufopedia.
- Made some edits to the description, based on the file sent by Dmitry with corrections in the text, for which many thanks to him.

Update.

- Added multiple studies for profit in the form of items (so that scientists can pay for themselves, and to stimulate the creation of a second base with laboratories).
- Many different improvements and fixes.
- We need spaceships to attack the Infiltration Bases.
- Numerous balance edits.

The mod is hybrid, but all underwater terrains are tied to TFTD ships. I can't implement "fakeUnderwater" yet, because "Terrain Pack" from Hobbes is installed. How within it to make it I do not know. I know about the hybrid mod from Precentor Apollyon, but I'm not ready to give up the "Terrain Pack", in addition there is changed (not for the better) the appearance of the globe.

Above all. The mod is now implemented as a separate mod, as strange as it may be. I checked his work on Win XP (32) and Win 7 (64).

Am I should lunch Kirov Airship alone or its too risky and can be destroyed by aliens ? (If you'll write me in Personal Messages, I'll ask you correctly)

Am I should lunch Kirov Airship alone or its too risky and can be destroyed by aliens ? (If you'll write me in Personal Messages, I'll ask you correctly)

If it's still relevant - "undetectable: true" guarantees that it will not be destroyed by aliens during patrols.

P.S. I'm not a fan of chatting in PM.

День добрый!
Изучаю мод.
Пара вопросов.
1) Какая то дичь творится со звуком, когда атакуешь летающие субмарины, в окне атаки звук становится очень громкий. А вот а тактике подводной наоборот очень тихий становится. Смотришь звуковой микшер, а там звук на 5% выставился.
2) Это так задумано что рейнджер и под воду может и наземное оружие почти все работает под водой? Опишу ситуацию - сбил обычную тарелку с сектоидами над водой, она "приводнилась". Тритон по радиусу не долетает. Дай думаю рейджером слетаю, очень удивился что он полетел туда. По прилету вспомнил, что все подводное оружие в тритон загружено. Но дальше интересней - все винтовки работают под водой, и даже лазер и гранаты!!! Только ракетница отказалась стрелять) Как то так)

Благодарю за отзыв.

1)  Я не понимаю о чём речь. У меня стоит везде "Авто" и MIDI...
2)  В описании вроде везде указано, что под водой не работает. Миномёты, Огнемёты и все земные зажигательные боеприпасы. Просто глобальное разделение оружия на подводное и надводное, в рамках данного мода, внесёт только кучу неразберихи.

По второму вопросу понятно.
 А по первому - как еще подробнее описать я не знаю. Но ни с одним модой у меня такого не происходит, только с Вашим.

I really wish there was a mod that would integrate TFTD without adding a bunch of extra gameplay changes. Literally just "Play the TFTD campaign after the UFO one with minimal changes", or even better "USOs attack at random, do both campaigns at the same time"

All these extra unnecessary features are unneeded bloat and should instead be separate mods.

Well, that's a separate modification. Due to the availability of resources from both UFO and TFTD in one place, you yourself can collect what you want based on this modification. I have nothing against it.

Спасибо, товарищ.

Только пока не знаю как это использовать. В последнее время я много лишнего удалил из игры, например киборгов-солдат, часть кораблей, бронетехники, брони, некоторые виды пехоты. При том упорядочив производство, исследования и улучшив баланс. И тут вопрос - далее обновлять текущую публичную версию, или сделать публичной новую оптимизированную версию?

Есть подвижки какие-то ?
Очень интересно, если бы были какие-то нестандартные миссии.
Еще раз советую посмотреть TWoTS+
Там многие исследования или какое-то ключевые "точки" появлялись после специальных миссий.

Особенно шикарна миссия с разбившимся линкором чужих.

Post by: Ethereal on July 25, 2023, 11:12:07 pm

С подвижками пока туго. Болею.
Ничего не стандартного не планируется. Наоборот, модификация, с тропы добавления всего подряд, свернула на тропу соответствия оригинальным играм.

Но вы можете использовать любой контент из модификации или даже сделать свою, на основе TFTU. Ничего против не имею.

I have no idea what happened. Perhaps Meridian can help.

There are no plans for modification updates yet, until the release of the new version of OXCE+. However, a small sub-mod is ready, which makes UFOpedia less boring. This sub-mod can also be run with the original game.

First post here on this site but i wanted to thank you for this larger than life mod, its nicely done and i cannot wait to see what else you decide to add and bring to the table, its been hard and rough to learn some of it and see the differences in the crafts and researches but i am enjoying it thoroughly and will happily keep getting my teeth kicked in XD

I don’t want to disappoint too much, but the modification has turned away from the path of endlessly adding new content. On the contrary, I am now trying to simplify the game (in terms of choice, not complexity) and cut out unnecessary elements.

In any case, thanks for the feedback.

I get ya, currently experiencing some painful moments as I admit, that there are many choices for crafts, weapons and researches after a mission or two. It appears that lazers are good all rounders but i also am wondering when conventional weapons are actually able to be dropped. Currently going to do another run with it as I currently have lost to a cultist mission, first one I had seen and was woefully under prepared. Oddly enough purchasing heavy armor for my troops was not that expensive but was unable to equip it to them. Other than that I had been enjoying it all

Ufopedia has information on what armor needs to be made for what class of infantry. As for lasers, they are distinguished by their accuracy, while plasma destroys armor even when it does not penetrate it, Gaus ignores 50% of the target’s armor, and Acoustic weapons have the most powerful damage and stopping effect. Thus, relying on heavy armor is not the best solution. It has worse visibility and speed of movement and no camouflage devices. That is, there are tactics for using heavy armor, with the total use of smoke, and fragile reconnaissance drones, or for storming colonies, where in narrow passages light armor loses almost all its advantages, but in open areas camouflage works better than strong armor.

I'm posting the "pre-release beta" because, well, it's just necessary.

Among the important changes:

 - Landing ships are distributed across two alternative branches. You will have to choose between BT and Triton class ships, between the Avenger and Leviathan, between ships from UFO and TFTD.
 - Added modules that increase the capacity of ships.
 - The characteristics of absolutely everything have been revised. Mainly in the direction of reducing them and matching the original.
 - A new branch of weapons used by the Cult.
 - Multiple balance corrections, descriptions and replacement of some images.
 - New version of musical design + revision of old ones.
 - Translation into English. I did it myself as best I could, so don’t judge harshly. Please write about inaccuracies in descriptions and translations, any typos, in this thread.

Please don’t expect instant answers from me, but one way or another I’ll keep an eye on what’s happening.

It is recommended to start a new game. There may be problems with old save files.

I uploaded all the sub-mods into one archive with the main mod.

Вопрос - в чем цимус разделения оружия на наземное и подводное, если наземное под водой тоже работает? Те же лазеры, что довольно странно, да и огнестрел вообще по идее не должен работать.

Где вы его увидели, это разделение? То что Дротикомёты и Гауссы из TFTD, не означает, что это исключительно подводное оружие. Да и вообще, глобальное разделение основного снаряжения на подводное и надводное, только путаницу внесёт и сильно усложнит игру. В TFTD это было допустимо, поскольку основная часть миссий была подводная. Да и неработающего на суше снаряжения было мало. В TFTU  у вас половина миссий наземных, половина подводных и замучаетесь перед каждой миссией снаряжением жонглировать. А есть миссии, где первая часть наземная, а после неё подводная.

Дротикометы и гауссы и в оригинале не были чисто подводными. Я про то, что наземное оружие из первой части оригинала работает и под водой. Как я упоминал - те же лазеры и огнестрел, что минимум странно выглядит. А так оружие из TFTD изучать и использовать смысла вообще нет. Зачем, если лазеры и плазма под водой работают. Разве что гаусс-дробовик, которому аналога в лазерном нет.

Я категорически против ультимативных технологий. Все финальные ветки оружия, техники и брони, примерно одинаково эффективны. Пользуйтесь тем, что больше нравится.
Насчёт лазеров, то я вообще не являюсь сторонником радикальной реалистичности в играх, однако знаю об испытании подводных лазеров, которые успешно проводят США, Китай и Россия. Лазеры эти пока не боевые, но резать на глубине в 500 метров уже способны.
Огнестрел же становится сильнее, при исследовании новых типов боеприпасов и становится полноценной альтернативой другим типам оружия. Просто идея в том, что эти модели огнестрела и боеприпасов к ним, попали в закупочный лист X-COM потому, что уже универсальны. Иначе, этот закупочный лист, можно было бы раздуть до миллиона позиций.
