First of all, Hello there! This is my first public released mod and i'm excited to announce it!
This compilation was inspired by several sources. One of the main ones, as well as my reference source is the work of Hobbes in Area 51 and even more in Tech-Com, where I copied several codes. It's my favorite mod of one of my favorite movies. Back in 2015, I played a modified version made by myself of the Equal Terms mod in which XCOM troops used United Nations equipment. Unfortunately, that mod was lost, as my old PC.
I was recently watching the movie The Siege of Jadotville and another source of inspiration emerged of this project, a force of the Blue Helmets fighting against aliens in the Cold War. Xenonauts is also inspiration of this compilation, for some concepts and part of its graphics, although it is not an attempt to copy that game.
This mod is located chronologically right in the middle of the Cold War, almost at the end of the Vietnam War. There will be many pages of UFOpedia explaining the background of the story, as well as the course of the war.
This mod is a compilation, not all the work is mine, as is obvious. I would call it a "franken-mod", because it is made of many different mods, united with glue, love and some things that I have done myself. This compilation is completely playable from beginning to end, but there are still many of my ideas to be implemented.

Air combat is a very important thing now, inspired by Air Combat Rebalanced and Tech-Comm. Hangars can now host 2 crafts. There is a wide variety of aircraft and craft weapons of the time (and will come more, as well as a redesigned tech tree) It implements the HK features, a great addition made by Meridian. So expect to face UFOs actively trying to intercept your aircraft. You probably lose a lot of aircraft soon, that's why they will be somewhat cheaper. Also, you now can forget the ground radars. They are obsolete, actually I remove Large Radar and set the radarChance of the Small to 5%, just to mark the average combat range of your starting planes. Now you can (and you should) launch satellites to search for enemy UFOs and Bases. Be careful, they are reaaaally slow and HKs ate them for lunch.
Hatred just a tool the aggressors to control
Into the jungle's depth, into the desert storm
Caught between legions of hate
Caught beneath malefic eyes of fate
Ground combat is another important part. You will use realistic weapons of the time, such as rifles M16, AKM, LMG like M60 and Bren, snipers like XM21 and Dragunov among others. Each major power of the Cold War will supply you with unique tanks, weapons and equipment, you can choose to stick to the reliable Soviet guns or try the advanced NATO weaponry.
Forget the outdated HWP, now you will be in charge of an M551 Sheridan, a BMD-1 IFV or a FV701 Ferret SC, light tanks that can really be transported on an airplane.
Of course, an indispensable mod in any game, UNEXCOM includes Terrain Pack, so you can fight in different and beautiful terrains.
There are new races (made by Solarius Scorch) and their weapons are now much more alien (drawn by XOPs), so the combat is more enjoyable.

The M60 sprite suggests that it should take 2x3 slots, instead of 1x3.
The same goes with the M60 belt, which is a 1x1 but the sprite suggest 2x1.
Please refer to the attached screenshots (on mobile )
Using the new "Sheridon" tank is awesome and in the same time displeasing. This tank is too op and can soak up shots more than a hovertabk can do. This new tanks just makes early to mid game Waaaay too easy.
My solution would be instead of nerfing the tank, why not make it more pricey? Since it is a top tier grade tank that time, its just normal that we acquire it at the right price, and oh, make the shells more expensive, so once bought, the tank will feel like a complement to the army

During examination of the ufopaedia, I experience a game crash after I pressed the next button on the page of the small radar, if I am correct, the next topic will be the large one, since the large radar was removed, such crashes shouldn't exist, unless if it wasn't purged out entirely.
Text issues with all of the ingame crafts, refer to the photo below
And a question: Can we save Earth without destroying it? All we ever wanted after this war is the events of Fallout right? :)
In that inventory screenshot, I see you made a little mistake, there is an unconscious soldier but we don't see the proper bigob, instead it is represented by the grenade launcher bigob (Though its cool to think that once a soldier dies, they transform to weapons).
Post by: efrenespartano on July 10, 2018, 04:35:14 pm
I'm working to solve the inventory glitches and the Craft UFOpedia pages. I didn't notice the "grenade launcher human being", I'm fixing it. ;D
About the Large Radar UFOpedia page, I forget to remove them from the ruleset. Also working on that. ;)
About the Sheridan, it's meant to be a powerful tank, it's main gun fires 152mm shells and uses Shillelagh guided missiles. In my tests, a Cyberdisk resisted 2-3 Shillelags and 3-4 shells. But it's correct what you say, it's very OP. I'm going to increase it's cost (both tank and shells) and also decrease it's armor. It's supposed to have an armor as thick as wet toilet paper, after all. ;D
Talking about saving the Earth with nuclear weapons (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIR-2_Genie), the Falcon nuclear missile (and soon, the Genie rocket too) is very powerful and can annihilate small UFOs, if you can get close enough. I wish that could be possible to make some penalization to the score for the use of this kind of guns, to reflect the concern of U.N. about nuclear explosions right in top of their heads.

And oh, at the start of the game, just give the players 6 pilot units, so we can easily assign them to the crafts where they rightfully belong.

Hello again, seems like you forgot to add twoHanded: true tags on some of your laser weapons, I noticed my soldier holding the las lmg with a single hand, like he was a terminator. Just heads upI've fixed your reports (except for the starting pilots, I'm still working on these), but I'm not at home. Would you like to wait until the release of 0.2? Or you would like me to attach the fixed rulesets here tomorrow?

As a seasoned Xcom player I wanted to introduce my GF to Xcom but also spice things up for me.
I found this mod's theme, time and features to be the exact right mix for both introducing new players to the Xcom formula while also making it more interesting for veteran players such as myself.
Now to the important feedback part:
The mod needs to work on balancing a few things:
- Interceptor planes' fuel is WAY WAY WAY too low. Looking at the files I found them to be around 120-220 for the most part and it was making the game a chore to play. On out first 40 min run we only managed to down 1 (one) single small scout UFO with two bases!
- I suggest at least doubling each of the planes' current fuel capacity.
You see, UNEXCOM being a whole WORLD initiative it is only fair so that all UNEXCOM crafts to refuel on any airport of any supporting country. Since it would be a mess to simulate this you could just increase fuel capacity.
The hard way of doing these would be:
- Increase fuel consumption when crafts are flying over hostile countries while reduce fuel consumption when flying over NATO/RUS countries.
ALSO:
The fuel tank increase addon that you can buy only gives 50 additional fuel capacity which is nothing and barely even noticeable. It should give at least 150 or more fuel capacity specially considering it takes one weapon slot. Right now there is no logical reason to get one over a weapon.
Everything else seems quite balanced but I will be posting more feedback as we play more.
Thanks and keep this UP! Can't wait for version 0.2

I know, it is supposed to be low for the Tier 1 planes. I even made some maths to calculate the most realistic fuel capacity. The Phantom had the worst combat range, some 84~ fuel units. It was almost imposible to use, so I increased it a little.
Try to engage in squadrons of two planes, the MiG-25 Foxbat and the F.6 Lightning are useful to pick up small UFOs. Or you can wait until the UFO slows down to send some bombers/fighters. Be careful, some UFOs actually hunt your crafts.

Yes, I'm taking this in account. Maybe even decrease a little the speed of the Scouts, to give Tier 1 UNEXCOM fighters a chance to fight back. Mostly because, their speed it's their real one.
The first researchable planes (after some Alloy research) are an important boost to UNEXCOM air forces, both in terms of combat range and fighting capacity. They are almost done. ;)

Hello! Your ideas are great! But the problem is that no such feature exist. Sorry.I'm thinking to ask later Meridian for some kind of "Refuel plane" behavior, I think it would be useful. ???
I hope that he consider it useful enough to add it to OXCE+. *cross fingers*

Thanks for the tips Spartan and we the fans should be the ones thanking you devs and modders for many many hours of not only entertainment and fun but also tactical and management thinking that Xcom tough so many of us.
I tried engaging with two or more planes but the game would not allow me for some reason. (Clicking the top left square icon to minimize the pursuit did not work).
Also, on one ocation I sent my hercules to a landed medium scout and when the hercules was about 50km from the site the UFO went airborne and attacked my Hercules. (It was amazing and scary to realize how reactive and human like the aliens are now!)
I guess it was my fault for not sending an armed escort jet with the Hercules but the bad part was that when the UFO engaged the Hercules I was not able to minimize the interception window (again clicking the top left icon did nothing) so I could not send help and had to just watch for a minute or two how my Hercules was slowly destroyed by the UFO.
I felt desperate and helpless during those minutes and I don't know if that was intended or a miss installation on my part? My GF almost started crying because her soldier was about to die and there was nothing we could do but then I told her about saved games and she got better. ;)
Also, during the engagement the only options I had were to engage the UFO in long/short range, and since my Hercules had no weapons it would be nice if I had the option to try to Outrun or let go of the UFO like regular interceptors have. This might've been pointless since the Hercules could never really outrun a UFO but at least I would have felt better like I did everything I could. ;D
The only other suggestion I have is that the Sherman Tank looks kinda bad compared to the other units so maybe it could be improved just a little. It looks stretched and kinda out of proportion.
Looking forward the tier 2 jets!
Valmont out!

Yep, that were the famous Hunter-Killers. They are already scripted into the campaign, so you will face them since november-december, with more difficult HKs appearing later in the campaign. But sometimes, a loner UFO can turn HK.
When a HK catches you, you can't leave the screen to wait for reinforcements. Most of them, leave the fight when you hurt them about the 50% of their HP.
In my initial test, a single UFO, the feared UFO-13, shooted down all of my squadron: 1 Hercules, 1 Huey, 2 Thunderchief and 1 F.6 Lightning. They are rude.

Actually, I think it's possible to out-run a HK, but you need to be faster than the UFO.

I think it is kind of unfair that when we are attacked by a HK we cannot send help (minimize the interception) to prevent our personnel carrier crafts from dying helplessly. :'( but I also know that it wasn't you the one who created the HK so its behavior is not in your hands.
I will suggest this in the HK mod post here on the forums.

You can send help - attach an escort to your transport before you send it out. Do you really think an aggressor targeting an unarmed transport will really wait the time it'd take for your interceptor to launch and arrive to help?
The problem about attaching escorts is the tremendous fuel difference between transports and interceptor crafts making escorting not really viable in this particular mod (it works fine in vanilla because interceptors have 1500+ fuel).
Also, in this particular case the HK intercepted my Hercules/Skyranger very close to my base (~40KM) so my interceptor would have had the time to arrive before the transport was destroyed, you see:
- It was a medium scout and it took at least 60 shots to down my transport each shot taking ~ a second.
- My Hercules would have made 10 Km in those 60 seconds and the Interceptor at 1.400 KM/H would have made 24KM but since they would have been going in opposite directions the chances of arriving in time are +- 4KM.
Of course Xcom is not exactly known for being realistic so we have to factor in the fun factor here and I think many will agree that it can be more fun to have the same functionality (allow minimizing the windows) when intercepting and when being intercepted (HK).
Right now it feels like the Aliens are cheating a little bit.

Yum, tasty un-escorted transports. :9

I think that the new Fuel Tanks (thank you for your suggestion, Valmont!) with 150 extra units will extend the escort range of the fighters/bombers.

One of the main purposes of UNEXCOM is to represent as realistically as possible (without breaking the fun of the game) the disadvantage of the forces of humanity when facing an enemy for which they are not ready. Our airplanes, tanks and armor systems are not designed to stop plasma bolts. Our pilots and soldiers make their best effort to fight an enemy unknown.
But if it is very difficult to face the HKs so early in the game, I could delay their appearance a bit. ???
The Tier II planes will have more similar statistics to the original Interceptor, to rebalance a little the things.

We love the challenge! And with the changes you did to Fuel Tanks and Tier 2 Interceptors it is more than enough so no need to delay their appearance.
La parte que no es agradable es que cuando un HK ataca un transporte lo unico que podemos hacer los jugadores es mirar la pantalla mientras nuestra nave es destruida lentamente. Si tan solo se pudiese minimizar esta ventana y hacer otras cosas mientras la nave es destruida no seria tan desagradable perder una nave. Por ejemplo si un HK esta destruyendo mi Hercules al menos mientras eso ocurre ya puedo planear el contra ataque o la venganza y no mirando una pantallita por 60+ segundos. Es solo una cuestion de jugabilidad mas que de balance.
Por cierto hubo un problema de instalacion de mi parte, habia instalado el mod sobre el Nightly+ OCE+ cuando deberia haber instalado solo OCE+.
Ahora cuando pruebe 0.2 seguro voy a tener menos problemas porque ya solucione lo de la instalacion.
Desde ya muchas gracias por tu tremendo trabajo!

DOWNLOAD UNEXCOM V02.a! (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SY4D89H-WPi-JtbxtBb-HTkkZ-jUcPtH)
This is not the correct version of 0.2, it is a preliminary version. The weapons of the Warsaw Pact and of NATO are still to be added. I had some problems with version 0.2b, so for now, I'll upload this. I hope to solve the problems tomorrow or Friday and update it to the correct version.
WHAT DOES THIS VERSION INCLUDE?
* The much needed Tier II aircraft, the XF-108 Rapier fighter and the XB-70 bomber, real aircraft of the time that were canceled due to problems with their development. Well, that was solved and they are ready for action!
* A new weapon that comes with the Valkyrie, the AR-5 rifle. Very light, not so powerful, you can equip it with a fast soldier or a pilot, in replacement of your Colt 45.
* New craft weapon: Alloy Craft Armor. Increase the resistance of your aircraft by 100 points.
* Glitches and bugs found by Alnoaht, Yataka Shimaoka, Mitra Lightbringer and Valmont already resolved. Keep going, Bug Stompers!
* Some new UFOpedia pages and a couple of initial investigations, related to Alien Alloys.
To-do:
* Repair the errors of the UFOPaedia pages, such as listOrder and texts.
* Add the other Tier I weapons
* Fix errors.
* Add new tanks.
* Add new armors

We love the challenge! And with the changes you did to Fuel Tanks and Tier 2 Interceptors it is more than enough so no need to delay their appearance.
The preliminary version of 0.2 is now avaliable, if you want to try the new crafts. :)

La parte que no es agradable es que cuando un HK ataca un transporte lo unico que podemos hacer los jugadores es mirar la pantalla mientras nuestra nave es destruida lentamente. Si tan solo se pudiese minimizar esta ventana y hacer otras cosas mientras la nave es destruida no seria tan desagradable perder una nave. Por ejemplo si un HK esta destruyendo mi Hercules al menos mientras eso ocurre ya puedo planear el contra ataque o la venganza y no mirando una pantallita por 60+ segundos. Es solo una cuestion de jugabilidad mas que de balance.
Por cierto hubo un problema de instalacion de mi parte, habia instalado el mod sobre el Nightly+ OCE+ cuando deberia haber instalado solo OCE+.
Ahora cuando pruebe 0.2 seguro voy a tener menos problemas porque ya solucione lo de la instalacion.
Desde ya muchas gracias por tu tremendo trabajo!
Me parece que el motivo de que no se pueda minimizar, según recuerdo comentaba Meridian, es debido a cuestiones técnicas propias del juego. Y quizá también, por lo que comentaba ohartenstein23. Siempre lleva un escolta en zonas con presencia UFO. Otros transportes podrán llevar armas y sistemas AUX.
Es un gusto encontrar otro hispanohablante en el foro. Gracias por disfrutar mi trabajo, cualquier duda o sugerencia, no dudes en hacerla. :)

Descargada la nueva version, estuvimos esperandola con mi novia y entrabamos al foro todos los dias, gracias!
Will give you further feedback as always, keep it up to the to do list... I love that your mod is doable and not insane as some other mods that will probably never be really done because of their scopes.

Yeah, that's one of the points of the mod!
The corrected v0.2b with the rest of the weapons will be avaliable in the next few days, probably tomorrow. :)

I think the Aircraft Weapons that you can buy are a little bit bugged or perhaps it should appear which plane can use which weapons etc.
Also, there are many different missiles and aircraft weapons but it is really hard to tell which one is the best for any given situation.
Researching the UN/Soviet supports gives nothing as you can buy all the stuff before the research is done anyway.
UFOs are very aggressive and when I go to intercept them in 70% of the time they end up intercepting me :)
Loving the mod so far! But some parts of it seem overly complicated for no reason. There are many aircrafts you can buy but it is hard to tell which one to use since they don't differentiate between them too much.
Perhaps you did that so that players can just choose the plane they like the most and not loose much in the process.
But I think the weapons platforms and the aircraft should have more clear advantages/disadvantages/differences between them like:
- The Thunderchief is old tech but very reliable, it has average stats but its repair takes half the regular time and it is cheap in terms of maintenance.
- The Migs are very good, fast and maneuverable but you can only buy them at your base in Russia and are very expensive to maintain.
Etc. Etc.
- Also, if we are going to need heavy nuclear bombers to down the big UFOs then I think you should reduce the speed of some of the bigger UFOs. Like independence day, the bigger motherships were slow as hell.
- That way the different airplanes will have better and more unique roles: Use the fast and agile Interceptors to down small but fast UFOs or use the cumbersome but heavily armed bombers on the Bigger UFOs that don't move so fast.
Thats it for now, will give you some more feedback later on!

Yes it's correct. The option to choose which super power to ask for help, is to give some variety at the beginning of the game. You can choose to stay with the American weapons and aircraft that are available from the beginning. Or choose the weapons of the NATO or the USSR, without it being a great disadvantage not to choose a particular weapon. Also, to be honest, the 1970s weapons and aircraft are not so different from each other.
I included the investigation of NATO and the USSR so that we can analyze if the time of the investigation is adequate or needs to be reduced.

Etc. Etc.
Exactly that is what I have in mind, modify a bit the characteristics of the team of each super power. For example, that the Soviet equipment is cheaper, more powerful, less precise. And that their planes are more expensive to maintain.
Or that the equipment of the NATO is more expensive, its more precise weapons and its cheaper airplanes to rent, for example.

In the initial phases of development, I contemplated making the UFO aspect more "realistic": lighter = faster and more agile. heavier = slower. Something like Independence Day.
But this brings a problem:
In the initial game, the aircraft are slow, with little combat range and as the campaign progresses, its speed and range increase. So, the Tier II, III and IV planes will be able to catch up with the most advanced UFOs, such as the Battleship, Terror Ship and Lab Ship.
Considering your proposal and my initial ideas, Valmont, it would mean that Tier II, III and IV planes are going to completely tear apart the heavier UFOs, which will not even have the chance to escape. While the fastest UFOs will be harder to reach for Tier I aircraft.
The question is: will this modification break the gameplay?
A small solution that I am working on is to reduce the speed of the Scouts and create a "low tier" version of the Battleship and the Terror Ship that appears relatively early in the campaign and gives a use to the bombers and nuclear missiles, what do you think?
The laser sniper rifle floorob sprite kinda needs to be fixed. And then again, the twoHanded: true tag is missing on some of alien guns
Fixed!
Post by: Valmont on July 20, 2018, 09:57:01 pm
Next time I will keep them for you.
A solution to the super Tier IV interceptors is to also lower their speeds to those of the fastests UFOs or perhaps a little slower.
On earth, no matter how big or how many engine HP an Aircraft has, the smaller jets are always faster because of weight/power ratio and also aerodynamics. Huge UFOs can probably be faster in space but on earth, also taking gravity into account, smaller UFOs and Interceptors should be faster.
Big UFOs should also have a minus to dodge so most weapons hit them (as seen in Independence day). But make up for that with incredibly strong shields/hulls =) (Only nuclear weapons can damage them).
I think this mod should go full Independence Day mechanics as those are less gamey than the default Xcom ones. (Besides it would be very refreshing for players!)
Note: On Independence day the small UFOs were a lot faster than earths jets but more so in acceleration than in final speed and they balanced that with very inaccurate "plasma" weapons so the Jets had a chance.

Well, you convinced me. I will modify the stats of the UFOs in the next version and we will see if it works!

Cannot think of a better combination than Xcom, Independence Day and the Cold War. Mix made in heaven!
The best part is that Cold War era was so secretive that anything could've happened so the credibility of all this is very high!
I can help you doing spreadsheet and ufopedia (both in english and spanish) work for you if you want ;)

Do you mean "hoja de cálculo" or more like doing sprites? (spritesheet)
How are your sprinting skills? Some handObs and floorObs would be very helpful for Tier I weapons. As you can see, the handObs of some weapons (like the M60) look terrible.

As same as mine. Actually I consider myself good at making aircrafts, but I suck at making spritesheets for units (both soldier/armor as tanks)

This version is more complete than the previous one, the listOrders are better organized and the weapons work well.
The problems reported by Alnoaht, Valmont and Yataka Shimaoka were resolved.
Death in the shape of a panzer battalion.
WHAT INCLUDES THIS VERSION?
* All Tier I weapons, obtained through some very simple investigations of NATO and USSR. Now every assault rifle features a second special use: M16 uses M203 GL, FN FAL uses Underbarrel .12 Gauge shotgun and AK-47 has a deadly bayonette.
* Shotgun stun shells! Knock out and kidnap those pesky aliens!
* New tanks! 2 Tier I tanks, linked to the same weapons investigations. One fast and light, the other a bit more resistant. (NOTE: I put shielding similar to the real one in the BMD-1, please, tell me if it is too weak to increase it) and a brand new XM22 Legionnaire laser tank, researched after Alloy Manufacturing and Laser Cannon. (Special thanks to alinare for allowing me to use their sprites for the XM22 and the BMD-1 and for their help for the HWP.)
* New investigations of the new types of UFO, obtained through interrogation of Navigators and Engineers.
* Inventories for tanks.
* UFOs are now classified by "classes"! The Large and Very Large are now very slow and have weak weapons, but they have a lot of resistance (Valmont's suggestion, tested by me and by Alnoaht.) The Scouts are slower, to allow the Tier I planes to catch them.
* New handObs for basic weapons! More are coming, one for each weapon.
* New organization of weapons / tanks / etc in the UFOpedia

Lovely tank (the white one), but it really needs some cleanup.
I've already cleaned the other one, use it if you like.

Amazing Release Espartano! Nice to see so many players being hyped by this right now. As a youtuber a few of my fellow comrades are playing this mod right now to evaluate potential streams.
Downloading this right now!
By the way: The new tanks look awesome!
Question: Is a new campaign recommended?

Not really. You can do it if you want. I just recommend to no research the end game tech tree. I'm working in a expanded tech tree which involves a Moon mission before invading Mars.

New version of UNEXCOM available. v0.2c is alive now! (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Jo_e5afICzsO-lAJm6l1ZF879_HpaU7B)
WHAT DOES THIS VERSION INCLUDE?
* All Tier I weapons as well as Tier I tanks have their unique and special sound as well as recharge sounds (this option is not available on Android at the moment), tested by Alnoaht and Marina.
* Two new armor: Bear Riot Armor, equipped with a powerful shield and sawed-off shotgun and Delta EOD Armor, a Juggernaut type armor with a built-in MG3 machine gun, fast and accurate. Obtained after researching USSR / NATO Support and Alloy Manufacturing, as alternatives to Personal Armor.
* New sprites for the XM22 Legionnaire (provided by Solarius Scorch), the M551 Sheridan, the BMD-1. Thanks for reactivating your website, Falko!
* Falcon nuclear missiles now do 500 damage to be able to damage Capital class UFOs.
* You can recover a country infiltrated by aliens after destroying all the alien bases in its territory! (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5932.msg100448.html#msg100448) (this option is not available on Android at the moment)
* The SMGs and LMGs have sprayWaypoints (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,6423.0.html), they are useful to clear the terrain.
* Fixed errors with some weapons that crashed the game.
*For new games, I set the Defensive base for startingBase. In my opinion, is very useful.
* ATTENTION: ERRORS FOUND. Detect a crash on a base defense mission, with Tier I and Ethereals weapons. I am working to solve it, but it would be useful if someone else had something similar happened to it, to find out its origin.
WHAT'S NEXT?
*Now I want to go straight for the new space missions. I've lost some advance due technical problems, but the next thing to to is attack the Moon! And then, Mars!
*Also, new sprites for Hovertanks and some armors for the space missions. Any suggestion is welcome!

Cool, thanks! I hope to try 0.3 on my cellphone, don't know whether i'll be able anyways!
It won't take so long, I promise!
Version v0.3 is coming
With some limited time because of the university, the progress to new version is slow and steady. The new Moon mission is almost complete, along space suits (taken from the great Battle for Mars and the awesome XenoOps), plus a couple of familiar dropships. Includes the Pyramids mod and, of course, the Moon terrain. Suggested by davide, made by new_civilian.
Some bad news: you aren't going to invade Mars (or anything) with the vanilla Avenger, so forget to carry 26 vengeful soldiers to Cydonia.
Some good news: you will have many, many allied troops by your side, some tanks too. I'm testing and playing around with different map sizes, but expect something bigger than vanilla.
Keep suggesting things and providing feedback! Keep endangering species, Bug Stompers!

WHAT DOES THIS VERSION INCLUDE?
UPDATED TO OXCE v5.1
This is a fix update, because in 0.2c the NATO/USSR stuff was unavailable and there was many bugs related to new content. This will fix all of them. 0.3 is still baking on the oven.
*Reduced shields of Capital class UFOs to half (Battleship now has 50 and Troop Transport now has 30)
*Fixed bugs found by IgnisAbentorn, renamed AK-47 to AKM, reemplaced Makarov for Stechkin Automatic Pistol, fixed stats and fire sound.
*Changed FN FAL & M16 M203 alt fire mode from confSnap to confAimed, to avoid reaction fire with underbarrel addons.
*MG3 now has fixed 60 rounds, removed MG3 belt from store. Fixed fatal bug that made unavailable NATO/USSR stuff (Guns, armor, missiles)
*Allied NPC units now use Human weapons, vanilla weapon no longer used. 11 new countries, original codes by MKSheppard (Norway, Benelux, Denmark, Greece, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Ukraine, Peru, Colombia, Poland)
*Updated operationType: 6 to Alien Interception missions, now Hunter Killers take off and land on their bases. (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5717.180.html)

I then noticed the 2 files are very different sizes ( and the new one is the smaller one), not sure if i am copying this to the wrong directory of if i am meant to know how to merge the 2 files...Sorry to sound like a idiot, but last time i was on here there was only 1 Extremely long ruleset file for everything, now its all been broken down into smaller ( and more friendly) files and i am not sure if i am doing something wrong.

Whooooooah!
It's such an honor that you decided to try UNEXCOM, Luke! :') Thank you!
It's easier, comrade. You need to apply the small patch directly into the Ruleset folder in the mod folder. The file that you overwrite was the original xcom1 research.rul
You need to go inside the user folder, then into mods, then UNEXCOM and finally into Ruleset. Remplace the research_UNEXCOM.rul with the quickfix provided.

It is a good habit to at least try launching your mod before publishing it. Sure, mistakes happen, but it is even better habit to try if your hotfix works before posting it... (it still crashes on launch, still because of some non-existent research topics).

Humm, that's weird. :o It was supposed to fix a crash related with some research topics. I'm rushing to release 0.3 with all of the fixes.
Do you have any crash log at hand? To see any potential reason.

WHAT DOES THIS VERSION INCLUDE?
*Fixed crash related to broken Alien research during Interrogations (Found by SIMON, thanks!)
*Fixed fatal crash related to trash code in unavailable research that made impossible to start game. Fixed crash with UN Combat Armor. (Found by Dioxine and luke83, thank you!)
*Fixed missing NATO/USSR CraftWeapons topics.
These crashes were mostly caused by the new OXCE v5.1 and its new format and some trash code left behind without notice. It's very strict now and these bugs haven't pop-up until now.
Please, update as soon as possible!

I gotta complement the mod on how it builds up 1970s ambience. But to that end, it needs more 1970s music, not just in the main menu :)
Haha I'm glad you like it. ;D
One of the first things I planed to add was a good soundtrack, but I don't want to make you sick for listening The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, etc so many times.
But to get more into the 1970s feeling, I'm going to add a new soundtrack in the next update.
If you have any song that would you like to hear in Battlescape/Geoscape, let me know!

EDIT: and idk, maybe the original Blues Brothers track would happen to fit, but that's mostly blues and late 70s iirc
Post by: efrenespartano on October 21, 2018, 08:49:25 am
To avoid too much repetition, I would seek for remixes, like these done by Ninja Tunes.
A really nice page! Any song in particular?
Well, for the Vietnam War era, you can't err by basing it on Apocalypse Now soundtrack and/or something like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTZMSKu4gLQ), the playlist is there in the first comment.
EDIT: and idk, maybe the original Blues Brothers track would happen to fit, but that's mostly blues and late 70s iirc
That video was the first I consider for the soundtrack! ;D
The idea about Apocalypse Now is very good, I'm going to check if any song could be useful. Platoon OST is a good option too. Even Battlefield Vietnam.
The Blues Brothers sounds great, but they started in 1976. A nice band, as well.

And maybe Bob Dylan for the Memorial screen? :P
Post by: efrenespartano on October 21, 2018, 08:48:16 pm
If we're talking movie classics, then there's also the Forrest Gump OST.
And maybe Bob Dylan for the Memorial screen? :P
Hey! How could I forget Forrest Gump? It has one of the greatest soundtrack ever!
About Bob Dylan, mi fav song is Knocking on Heaven's Door. I'm thinking about adding it as the Memorial... even when it was released in 1973... 7u7
Do you have any song in mind, Solarius?

I'd like to suggest few, maybe less known today but still nonetheless classics like
Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth, Buffalo Springfield - Mr Soul
Country Joe & The Fish - Flying High,
Cream - I Feel Free
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Ohio
Deep Purple - Hush
Eddie Floyd - Knock On Wood
Eric Burdon & The Animals - Monterey
Gordon Lightfoot - Black Day in July
The Animals - We've Gotta Get Out Of This Place, The Animals - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Black Sabbath - Hand of Doom
etc... etc... i could go on and on 'coz 'nam era music is my jam. I can upload said songs if you wish so, but i recommend you to give them a listen regardless if they will be used in a mod or not because they are just good songs.

Whoa! A great list, it seems. I'll listen carefully all of them too, to decide what could be useful! Thanks for sharing, Anon011!

A minor problem I had with this mod is that it is difficult to tell what weapons each ship can carry. Because each slot is called "Weapon slot 1," "Weapon slot 2," etc...
However this does not need to be the case, it is possible to change what you call each weapon
'I added these to the YAMML
| STR_CRAFT_CANNON_ONE: "CANNON-1>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_CANNON_TWO: "CANNON-2>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_LIGHT_MISSLE_ONE: "LIGHT MISSLE-1>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_LIGHT_MISSLE_TWO: "LIGHT MISSLE-2>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_MISSLE_ONE: "MISSLE-1>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_MISSLE_TWO: "MISSLE-2>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_AUX_ONE: "AUXILIARY-1>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_AUX_TWO: "AUXILIARY-2>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_HEAVY_MISSLE_ONE: "HEAVY MISSLE-1>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_HEAVY_MISSLE_TWO: "HEAVY MISSLE-2>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_MULTI_PURPOSE: "HARDPOINT-4>{ALT}{0}" | STR_CRAFT_GATTLE: "GATTLE-1>{ALT}{0}" |
I then modified each crafts weapon_strings, assigning the relevent string to each craft.
For the phantom I used:
- STR_CRAFT_CANNON_ONE #covers cannons/gattling guns weapons 0,1
- STR_CRAFT_LIGHT_MISSLE_ONE #light missles, weapon 2
- STR_CRAFT_LIGHT_MISSLE_TWO #light missles, weapon 2
- STR_CRAFT_MULTI_PURPOSE #weapons 2,3,5.
I think this improves gameplay as it makes it easy to see in a glance what each and every craft uses.

Such a great idea, Verontrix! I'll add it with the new update 0.3. Thank you so much for sharing it.
And if you don't mind, I would like to use them with my other project, The Great War of the Worlds.
Post by: Verontrix on November 24, 2018, 08:43:45 pm
I have another suggestion,
One problem with Unexcom as it currently stands In my opinion is light/medium missiles become useless once you get laser cannons. As Laser cannons have more accuracy, do more damage, and have a longer range then all of hte light/medium missles.
I have 2 suggestions on how to improve air combat
1) non-ufo type craft should only be able to use short range cannon equivalent versions of laser/plasma beam weapons. (the pulse plasma/laser weapons). Giving UFOs an advanatge over non-UFOs
laser cannons (as they rae a cannon type weapon) should do about ~ 45 damage and have a range of 15-20 with a fire rate of 4-7 second reload time (making it a better version of cannon weapons, but still comparable to cannon weapons with both a longer range and more damage).
plasma pulse weapons should do around 60-70 damage and have a similar range, maybe a little longer, with a slower fire rate of 7-16 seconds a shot.
This makes your ships much worse against enemy air craft, as they now have to get closer to deal damage, and deal a lot less damage per shot, which leads to why sugestion 2 makes sense
2) suggestion add mkII and mkIII variants of missles.
mkII should have be more accurate and have a longer range and damage then mkI missles.
(Enough damage to get past the shields of larger alien space craft, say 50-70 damage for sidewinders).
mkII missles should be built using alien alloys, which due to its significantly higher strength per weight ratio allows your mkIIs to be both lighter and more deadly to enemy vessels.

Thank you so much for your suggestions, Verontrix, you help me in making this mod better.
I'll definitely add both of them. ;D
The 2nd suggestion actually is planned into 0.3, but due some problem with the storage of my laptop, many files and folders got lost, including parts of other projects. I had to start all over again with the new Tier II-III Crafts Weapons and some new missions, the most importantly the end game research. I could recover some files from Drive and I'm working again. Slowly, but working. Thanks for your patience:)

Oh, you put me in the credits. Thank you. I haven't been around X-com some time now, so I came to see how mod is progressing, and to play with it a bit. When is 0.3 coming out?
Hi, Mitra! I'm glad you came back.
I have slowly recovered the resources lost a couple of weeks ago. Since this is the final week of my semester, I can have version 0.3 ready in a couple of weeks :) If you have any suggestions, do not hesitate to do it. :D

I'm afraid I might just repeat what you already know, so I think I will wait for v0.3 to release, and then give you some suggestions. I can't wait to see what you have in the store for us, I have played this mod since the first (shared) version.
Great! Hopefully, it will be a more complete version, I'll upload some pics soon:)
Thank you for your patience and for playing UNEXCOM, Mitra Lightbringer. ;D

Finally I got some time to work full time on my projects again. I've been almost a mont ways from a PC. :o On this occasion and at the request of several beta-testers (including Thunder_andr, in mod.io) I have greatly expanded the list of weapons. On this time, the showcase of NATO's weapons. At the beginning and compared to the list of US weapons, NATO had relatively few guns.
The list has expanded to include several types of weapons for each faction, now all will share the same type of weapon.
NATO Weapon List:
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190113/c4bc29715f6363c4ea8cec5837b0e534.jpg)
*Assault Rifle: FN FAL with Underbarrel 12. gauge shotgun
*Carbine: SIG SG 510-A Carbine
*SMG: H&K MP5
*Pistol: Beretta 92 FS
*LMG: Bren
*Sniper: H&K PSG-1
*Heavy Support: M1919 30. Cal MG
*Artillery: Carl Gustaf M2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since this will be a major update, I'm working on various areas of the mod.
It was necessary to complete all the planes of the mod, we need the last two Tier, so I have been working on the fighters, the bombers, the satellites and the transports. Now a test of the new combat aircraft. Since I'm working a bit of everything, I still do not have the version ready for ingame photos, since the rulesets are full of unfinished codes.
These new crafts are the Saab J73 Draken, a swedish interceptor. With stats slightly lower than the F.6 Lightning, but cheaper.
The following two are based on Xenonauts aircraft: the XF-38 Crusader fighter and the XB-90 Samurai bomber. You get them at the same time what you would get a Firestorm vanilla, but more powerful than that plane. Faster and agile, they are a worthy opponent to UFO Interceptors.
Throughout the days I will continue uploading images of what will come in version 0.3. :D

Thank you for your kind words, Yakaka. I'm glad that you came back!
I'm about to release a thematic soundtrack (made from music of the Vietnam War era, discussed earlier on this topic) probably by Friday. I've worked on it all the week, it will set the mod more into the 70's.

As usual, the mod is great, however like before, I've spotted some visual not so obvious visual glitch with either the M16 or the UN armor. If you look closely, there appears to be a suspicious floating dot while moving. Seen it multiple of times now so just a heads up :)
Yes, seems that I made the handOb of the M16 (I think this issue is the same with the XM21 sniper) larger than it should be, I'm going to fix it.
All most of the Tier I weapons now have an unique handOb and floorOb sprite, to match better with its bigOb, I'm going to check them to fix potential issues like the M16/XM21 hand sprites.

Hello everyone!
https://openxcom.mod.io/unexcom-soundtrack
I've wanted to make this soundtrack for several months and just recently I took the time to do it. I hope you enjoy it, I did it with a lot of effort.
Special thanks to each and every one of those who collaborated in the creation of this soundtrack, say Alinare, KYIV98, Dioxine, Stoddard, Solarius Scorch & Anon011.
To install it, you simply have to download the file, unzip inside the installation folder of your UNEXCOM mod or the mod of your preference.

Hi, whisper micmillon! It is a great joy that you are enjoying the mod. Thanks for the feedback. ;D
An apology for the error, had not previously appeared. It has been fixed in the main build (next v0.3), but to not make you wait any longer, here is the fix. I arranged the folders so that you just have to unzip the "UNEXCOM" folder inside your own installation of the mod. In case you prefer to do it manually, it is the same folder indicated in the openxcom.log file, UNEXCOM/Resources/FourthState/CraftWeapon/
Let me know if you need another thing. :D

UNEXCOM comes back to life. We are counting down for the Anniversary!
After several technical problems, with real life and devoting more attention and time to the other two projects in which I participate (OXC Factions and The Great War of the Worlds), in the Inventorum Develompent Team we have decided to release the long-awaited version, although this time, it will be a jump from v0.2e to v1.0!
Will do but thank you tho I have to ask do you have any plans for a discord sever? That could be a great was of interacting with the community. ^^
Thanks to Luke83, the UNEXCOM channel on the IDT server is functional. I leave the link below.
https://discord.gg/PRwRhbS
Below a little showcase of what's in the new Anniversary version.
There has been a redesign of many aspects of the game. In collaboration with Luke83, we present the X-72 Orion Sub-Orbital Transport!
Jump into battle in drop pods launched from the Earth's low orbit. Land in the heart of the enemy. This method of deployment ensures faster response times, although there is no heavy vehicle transport capacity. 8 fully equipped hardcore, I-ate-aliens-for-lunch soldiers and a supply pod will bring death from above.

Also, the new unrandomized wounds script made by Kzer-Za (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=7310.0) is applied to the shotguns, LMGs and melee items! The more damage you do, the more wounds you make!
What's next? Continue updating the UNEXCOM rulesets to release a playable update with the new versions of OXCE. Then release the ballistic weapons and then focus on the planes and tech-tree endgame.
Join us at the Inventorum Development Team Discord, where you can try new updates and patches earlier!

UNEXCOM v.0.7.2 Vendetta Burns Inside is alive now, resurrected from death (http://openxcom.mod.io/unexcom)
What's new in this update?
Changes made:
* Updated to OXCE v.5.6.2, all of the crashing sprite indexes are working now.
* Added a brand new Ammo system. Now, instead of "Rifle + Rifle clip", weapons share the same ammo magazines. Now, you can share the mags of your AKM assault rifle with your RPKS light machine gun. Please, read the weapon's UFOPedia entry to see the ammo used by the gun in question.
* Added new weapon classes, each with its own playstyle: Pistols, Rifles, Carbines, SMG, Shotguns, Snipers, Artillery, LMG.
* Added new itemCategories to quickly find weapons: Ammo, USA, NATO, USSR, UNEXCOM, Civilian, Special Forces and Mercenary.
* Reworked Tier 1 BallisticWeapons
* Fixed issues by Andr, Blood Angel Tactical Marine, SG_Barton & DarkDust found on earlier Discord Previews.
* New soldierTypes: Special Forces Operator and Mercenary, unlockable after researching all of World Powers Support
* New Special Forces and Mercenary BallisticWeapons: MAT-49, Sawed-off Shotgun (modified from sprite made by Dioxine), Sawed-off M79 Thumper, Combat Knife and craftable variants of XM117 and FN FAL (you can mount a scope or a grenade launcher)
* Brand new starting game. Now you have some civilian weapons, a Huey and a Hercules, plus a few craft rocket launcher and Vulcan cannon. You should start asking the World Powers (USA, NATO, USSR) for additional support.
* New NATO Fighter options, you can choose between a fast fighter, a nimble fighter (drawn by Andr) or a heavy fighter. Choosing one disables the other two options.
* Balanced and fixed Plasma Weapons, by The Reaver of Darkness
* New Hercules Paradrop map
* New Huey map, made by Alex_D
* New Tier 2 crafts: VTOL Hind (map made by Alex_D) and Recon Satellite Atalaya
* Added new extraStrings to the aircraft weapon slots, now is easier to know what kind of weapon goes in what plane.
* Added new ranking system, Soldiers and Pilots have different rank badges and names. Pilots are better paid when they get a promotion.
* Pilots now have a better armor, more like the flight suit a fighter pilot would wear (stats fixed by The Reaver of Darkness)
* Now all terrains and alienDeployments have allied NPCs fighting along UNEXCOM. Depending on the size of the UFO, it is the number of allies that will appear. Allies vary from terrain to terrain (farmers Farmlands, on soldiers in the Jungle, Forest, etc). Police forces are now fixed to spawn on cities (between 4 and 10)
* New allied NPCs: Police SWAT (sprite by Hobbes), Female Farmer and Male Farmer (sprites by Solarius Scorch
* Overall ruleset & resources rework
It took longer than expected, but is finally here. Our beta-testers are hunting down bugs and issues, don't forget to report your feedback!
The screenshots below were taken by me running UNEXCOM on LG Stylus 3 with Android 7 (black bar) and taken by SG_Barton on Xiomi redmi 5 plus with Android 8.1 (white bar)

I tested the new update on various Windows laptops (using Win7 and Win10) and Android phones (using Android 5.1, 7.0 and 8.1) and worked on all of them. But unfortunately I don't have any MacOS device to test by myself. :(
Also, are you using the zipped mod folder or uncompressed?

However worse news as this simple fix is that Mac doesn't read 8bit GIFs well and this mod has a lot of them, so even if you fix the case issue(s), a lot of images may end up black or random noise. At least that happened last time I tried.

MacOS is case-sensitive, so it doesn't recognize the INVENTORY directory, because it's actually called Inventory.Ah, good to know!

I'll convert all of the .gif images to .png to avoid further issues on MacOS. Thanks for the tip, Meridian.

Actually MacOS (if it has the default APFS file system, as is the case in my instance and I guess 99 percent of other users) is case-insensitive by default, has been for many years, as opposed to Linux.

If so, then check if the file from the log is really missing... and reinstall the mod if it is.

The file is indeed missing, and it is missing in the mod itself (which i re-downloaded).
I've created the file (copied another one from the same folder) and now I have a new error.
[27-09-2019_23-49-53] [FATAL] FileRecord::at(Resources/Coherency/CraftWeapon/LaserArrayUfopedia.gif): requested file not found.
[27-09-2019_23-49-53] [ERROR] FileRecord::at(Resources/Coherency/CraftWeapon/LaserArrayUfopedia.gif): requested file not found.
Probably not the last file missing. Actually the whole folder is missing.

My bad, I didn't see the rest of your message.
Yes, I'm aware of this particular issue. Is related to Asian female Pilot, the file isn't on it's respective folder. I'll release a patch update this weekend with this and other bugs fixed. Meanwhile, you can quickfix it copying and renaming another female pilot inventory paperdoll "MAN_5F3.png".
Thanks for your report, Gfixcom!

I did that, but there are other files missing still. I will wait for the update!
Thank you for your work, I really liked the previous version and I'm sure this one will be even better when I will be able to run it! :)

UNEXCOM v.0.7.4.1 Vendetta Burns Inside is ready now! (http://openxcom.mod.io/unexcom)
What's new in this update?
Well, actually I posted the update yesterday and a few hours later, a quick patchfix to solve some Fatal crashes.
*We're still working on reworking the early game. Now the United Nations provides you with two Swedish J29 Tunnan aircraft fully equipped to face the UFOs while you get support from the World Superpowers. But you can't buy any more, so take care of them.
*In addition, decisions now carry a lot of weight. You can choose between asking for help from NATO or the USSR, but only one at a time, because the other permanent faction will withdraw its offer of support. In addition, the USSR offers several options to equip you with fighters (just like NATO), being able to choose between the expensive and powerful MiG-25 Foxbat or the light and cheap MiG-21 Fishbed. Likewise, choosing one option disables the other.
*The UN provides you with the FV701 Ferret at the beginning of the game instead of NATO. The European alliance now equips you with the FV601 Saladin, which is fast and powerful, with a 76mm cannon perfect for destroying terrain, though not so much other armor.
*Now there are new medical items to treat the wounded on the battlefield. Consequently, the Medikit research has moved on until after obtaining Alloy Manufacturing.
*The Reaver of Darkness is working to perfectly balance the weapons of the game. Currently, he balanced the Plasma Tier 3 weapons and fixed a lot of issues related to tanks and crafts stats.
The full list of changes is below!
10-October-2019: v0.7.4.1 Vendetta Burns Inside
Changes made:
* Fixed Fatal crash related to Female Civilians sprite
* Fixed Male and Female Civilian drawingRoutine (was 4, now is the correct 0)
* Fixed issue with Rocket Pods not being equipable on aircrafts
* Improved new UN fighter Tunnan, NATO Draken, Starfighter fighter and Mirage bomber stats
* Slightly Improved Pilot strength stats
* Tweaked Medical items cost
* Improved stats of new NATO Tank FV601 Saladin (now is a little more faster and has sightly more armor)
* New inventory organization, with Quick Draw slot and a larger Belt
* All of the changes of v.0.7.4 remains
10-October-2019: v0.7.4 Vendetta Burns Inside
Changes made:
* Added Saab J29 Tunnan as Starting aircraft, provided by the United Nations (but unavailable for purchase on the Store)
* Redesigned startingBase to include free J29 Tunnans and their weapons, with enought ammo to withstand until further airplanes could be purchased
* Added flavour text to some UFOpedia entries, by efrenespartano and Ikhanad.
* Now you can only choose between asking NATO or USSR for support. Choosing one will disable the other.
* USSR now offers two options for fighters: expensive, superfast MiG-25 Foxbat or light and very cheap MiG-21 Fishbed (drawn by Andr). Choosing one disables the other permanently.
* New NATO Tank: FV601 Saladin Armoured Car, equiped with a 76mm Cannon and a secundary MG.
* Ferret Armoured Car moved to starting tank provided by the United Nations, improved graphics and updated UFOPedia entry to better match the tank.
* Changed tech requirements of plasma weapons, by The Reaver of Darkness.
* Added human versions of AlienArmouryExpanded plasma, by The Reaver of Darkness.
* Re-balanced plasma weapons, by The Reaver of Darkness.
* Fixed issues related to Elerium ammo for RPG-7 and Carl Gustaf M2 being available from the start and CG M2 not available on the Store.
* Balanced armors and weapons of tanks, by efrenespartano and The Reaver of Darknes
* Added three new Food items:
- Canned Food, to quickly recover stamina and some health.
- Cigarettes, to recover morale (with a penalty to health). Drawn by Andr.
- Flask (filled up with bourbon), to quickly recover morale, with some stunning side-effects. Drawn by Andr.
* Added three new Medical items:
- Medical Bag, replacing the starting Medikit with a heavier variant.
- Field Dressing, to quickly patch up mortal wounds.
- Medical Pouch, small first-aid kit designed to quickly recover health. Drawn by Andr.
* New sprites for Smoke Grenade, renamed to M18 Smoke Grenade. Drawn by Andr.
* Medikit now requires Alloy Manufacturing to research and 4 Alien Alloy units to be build
* Fixed issue with crashing Alien Base alienDeployments definition (the mapblock has 6 tiles of height, were defined as 2).
* Fixed issue with Aircraft IDs that made impossible to intercept UFOs on the Geoscape
* Added new Custom categories to aircraft weapons and tanks.
* Fixed UFOPedia entries showing all of the weapons. Now they propper appear after their respective Faction Support research is completed.
* Improved shieldCapacity of many UFOs. The probability that the UFOs of the Scout class are HKs has been increased.
* Improved Male and Female Civilian armor (weapons no longer float in the air).
* Fixed minor issues with some research and Elerium Fusion UFOPedia entry.
* Now it takes longer to get USA/NATO/USSR Support research (was 200, now 800)
* Special Forces and Mercenary Support research now are unlocked from Alloy Manufacturing, instead USA/NATO/USSR Support (because now NATO disables USSR and vice versa and made impossible to get SF/Merc Support)
* Balanced Ballistic Weapons, removed overkill from many ammo types.
* Tweaked Tank MG round prices. Now are cheaper and all have 50 rounds with a 5 shot autoshot

News update!
After more than a year, we have finally resumed work in the Lunar Missions. We have made a totally new terrain, different from the one we were originally going to use.
For those of you who are already in our Discord chat, you are probably already aware of this, but still, we share it here.
Here are screenshots of a lunar mission, important for the campaign.
In addition, we include our new Space Shuttle! A dream-come true for all of you fans of the space exploration! Personally, I've been dreaming about having a Shuttle in Xcom since the first time I played.
We also included a new space suit, made using as basis a spacesuit made originally by liberation, improved by Finnik and further modified by me. It is based on the real life A7L spacesuit used by the Apollo and Skylab crews.

Just remember how heavy these suits are in real life :)
Yes! I'm thinking to give it a penalization of -15 to TUs, -15 to stamina and -10 to all other stats. Also, some reduction to sight range

Thank you, The Martian! I really liked the image you shared, thank you very much for making it. I'll see how to implement it in the mod, if you don't have a problem with it. ;D
Space exploration doesn't end here. This time we present you a human space station, which we will be able to visit in certain missions!
Created using a recolored LIGHTNIA mapset, created by The Reaver of Darkness, greatly enhanced by Luke83 for OXC Factions, as well as some tiles created by Dioxine for X-Piratez and several other tiles created by me.
At the moment, I'm still working on the Orbital map to be able to place this space station on a mission, but for now I share with you my advance.
More station models are planned, for various missions
A bit of info on this one:
Built in collaboration of the NASA, the ESA and the Soviet State Agency, is the state-of-the-art station, employing Alien Alloys as integral part of the structure.
The upper deck is an observation post. The middle deck is the main one, with the main scientific experiments and computers. On the right side of the station is the three-side dock bay, to allow Apollo or Soyuz capsules to attach.
The lower deck contains the crew quarters, with sleep pods for each one of the crew members
All around the structure are multiple solar arrays to power the station, antenna to increase the detection range and RCS thrusters to maneuver the station in orbit.
From time to time, the UFOs will try to assault it, steal its important data cores and shoot down the orbital installation. It's our job to defend it!

Wow! These surely would make Neil Tyson DeGrasse shed a tear of joy, imo! So pretty!I'm glad you liked it!
The best addition were the solar arrays, I love them. xD If you need them let me know. ;)
It still doesn't have a name. Feel free to suggest any, amigo!
I'll upload an Alien Space Station on the next days too. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191128/4add7789ff558deb5690211aae16bd84.jpg)

Some gameplay video is avaiable to watch?
Not by the moment. But that's the plan!
Very impressive graphics there, the Shuttle and the Space Station look/feel realistic. 8)
Thanks, new_civilian! I posted a working test mod of it on the Discord channel of UNEXCOM at our server, you can take a look at it plus some more testing stuff (like space fighters!)
NEWS UPDATE
We are working on a new enemy faction and some brand new missions! This time, we will fight against Terrorist! And the mission related to the Special Forces tech-tree: Terrorist Takedown
A group of terrorist has hijacked a plane and had taken hostages. The local government has requested UN support to seize the plane. It is our job to storm it, rescue the hostages and neutralize the terrorists! A new Flashbang Grenade will be added to help with this endeavor.
As you may notice, the plane is adapted from the old rusty Sunken Plane of TFTD, but reworked and improved. Shiny and new! Plane MCD made by Luke83 & efrenespartano, Airport terrain made by Luke83
Also, a new Terrorist made by our skilled artist Tingcat!
The next update will be mostly including Counter-terrorist operations. The Space update is still WIP, the maps and missions are done, but the maps' routes and tech-tree needs some more love.

(Very nice!)
Not all of the HandOb's frames appeared to match so I gave editing a new HandOb set a try using the "TFSniperHand.png" file from "Xeno Operations (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2913.0.html)" By XOps as a base.
Here are the results, the first set is in the same colour scheme as the other ones found in your resource folder:
(https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=6404.0;attach=46179)
The second one has had its colour shifted to match the weapon's BigOb image:

Here is an example of how the these HandObs display in game:

I'm not sure if this will be of use to you, I was digging around in UNEXCOM's resource files and noticed this interesting Laser Sniper Rifle:

I totally love it! Thanks, The Martian, i'll use it on the next update. Those sprites aren't mine, tho. KingMob4313 is the original creator of the Laser & Plasma Weapons used in UNEXCOM, all credits for them should be for him. :D

NEWS UPDATE
A new test mod is available for download on our Discord server!
The bad guys had taken hostages inside a Govt building and is our job to storm the complex and neutralize the Terrorist forces.
This time, Luke83 had made a new Office terrain, while Tingcat and I made the Terrorist faction.
You can try both the new mission and the new faction! UNEXCOM is required to play it, because the mission has custom weapons found on the mod.
Join us at the Inventorum Development Team Discord, free Flashbang grenades to new recruits! https://discord.gg/DaQREsP

IMHO, there is an imbalance in research, in March 1973 I can produce Storm and already researched Avenger. In April, I have the Avenger and a plasma weapon. I don't need Earth technology anymore. Such as...Oh, gosh. You are quick!
In which difficulty are you playing?
Thanks for the feedback, BTW!

I'm so happy you liked it, pal! ;D
Yes, this project is meant to be a big one! Feel free to share your opinion or suggestions. :)
NEWS UPDATE:
We are testing the new Laser Weapons provided by the USA. This new set of Lasers were drawn by Dauntless1942, a skilled artist working with us! As always, each gun has its own unique set of bigObs, handObs and floorObs sprites.
They will be available on the next update, along with extra weapons.

Been following this project for a while and I have to say, you've completely run in the direction that I only half-heartedly took with my Equal Terms mod.Whoa!
So damn impressed. Great work.
Thanks a lot for your kind words, means a lot coming from you! As I've told you some time ago, your mod is one of my favorite mods (if not THE favorite). Thanks a lot for liking this project and letting me using your assets as basis for mine. You are my hero.

This new set of weapons is highly mysterious, their origins are different from the normal Plasma weapons and are definitely more powerful. A LOT.
Please, test it as much as possible, so we can balance them. A test mod is available for free on our Discord server!
This is a joint effort, the original weapons were drawn by Dauntless1942, the concept and rulesets were written by The Reaver of Darkness and me.
Hope you liked them!

The War of the Worlds mod is currently on halt until I finish the semester on the university, this update had like 2 months sitting on my laptop.

Hahaha I praise Meridian for the feature, I really wanted it from a long time ago.
Is it worth selling the Linna instantly? $500k per month seems like a mistake when you could build a radar for $10k per month and not worry about HKs. So what's it good for, exceeding your 8 base limit? Same deal in X-Division (the one Xenonauts megamod), is there a reason or just coincidence?
No, keep the Linna. Your ability to successfully detect and intercept any UFO or enemy human craft depends of the deploy of recon satellites. The ground radars have little detection chance, almost useless (5%).
I'll reduce the price of them, to encourage the players to deploy Linnas more often. :D

Post by: efrenespartano on June 04, 2020, 04:16:35 pm
Ohhh was not aware of detection chance. How does that mechanic work?
Both the buildings at base and the aircrafts have a radarChance and radarRange. In this mod, the ground based radars have low radarChance (5%), so the 95% of the UFOs and human crafts slip down your radar without notice. The Linna has a radarChance of 30%, also another useful value called sightRange, which is used to recon for alien bases.

One of the Huey maps is missing or has a typo, causing crashes on mission start. Didn't save the report, but I think it was 1B.
The ToArmorPre and ToWound values are super high, to the point I feel like they're off by a factor of 10. The 7.62 NATO ammo dealing 160% armor pre-damage means it's as good if not better than the meltagun in 40k at slagging armor, and a single friendly fire incident caused 17 fatal wounds with only ~20 damage. If intended that ballistic weapons have damageAlter values this high, they feel overtuned.
Haven't checked the other craft from the starting diplomacy choices, but getting the Italian Starfighter and not being able to procure a gatling cannon to fill that hardpoint feels bad - I've lost a few flights of two of them to large scouts because they ran out of missiles well before HP. The M61 Vulcan shows up in the starting ufopedia and would make it feel better if you could buy it to fill that slot.

Also you can change the strings for Aimed, Snap, and Auto in the Ufopedia to all show how many shots they fire the same way Auto does:
Code: [Select]
STR_SHOT_TYPE_AUTO: "Auto (x{0})"
STR_SHOT_TYPE_AIMED: "Aimed (x{0})"
STR_SHOT_TYPE_SNAP: "Snap (x{0})"
All of the sniper rifles that have damage bonuses on the rifle itself won't get boosted damage due to the soldier's accuracy - the damage bonus needs to be on the ammunition or the weapon needs to have built-in ammo (like the laser weapons) in order to work.
The Bastion advanced satellite has defined weapon types and mentions defensive weapons in it's description, but has no weapon space.
Post by: efrenespartano on December 06, 2020, 06:46:56 pm
Another thing I noticed: E-115 HEAT rounds use incendiary damage type, which do 5-10 damage by default. With the 75% ArmorEffectiveness they have set, it means the weapons often do nothing. I'd recommend setting a RandomType to make it have a 50-150% or 0-200% roll.
Got it! I'll change it to another damageType (most likely HE or Plasma, still to be determined)

I have one question, however: what is the deal with terrorists? They can be researched, but have no UFOPedia articles. I specifically (and at high risk to my men) captured live terrorists hoping they could be interrogated. So I turn to you: who are these terrorists and why am I fighting them?
Post by: efrenespartano on March 12, 2021, 11:51:41 pm
If I have one to name one thing that does not fit, I'd say the tanks. Laser weapons and Aircraft are all unique to USSR, USA and NATO, only tank stays the same. It kinda bothers me lore-wise, AND, well, T-62 with Lazer sounds better.
Well, our plan is to add tanks, yeah! But currently we are focusing on the airplane (and space) features of the mod. The next thematic update will feature armored vehicles and changes to the way tanks are used.
Hi, really enjoying this mod of yours.

There are some reports after your capture the leaders and commanders. If they aren't appearing, then it's a bug, i'll give it a look anyway.
The main motivation of the terrorist is
just to wreak havoc all over the world. Initially, they were planned as a bunch of misfits and a hint at 70s terrorist group plus the baddies on Counter Strike and Battlefield Hardline. But later, they became some kind of proxy allied of the aliens, that's why you can be attacked by terrorists using plasma tech

Awesome mod. Very atmospheric. Is anyone doing any additional translation into Russian?
Thanks for the kind comments! It is, wolwerin04 maintains the Russian translation.
You can check the latest translation text on his YouTube channel!

Nearly feels like you could remove the alien part by having instead nato and soviet or unaligned (like those terrorist situation) filling their role.
I have a question though, as hangars can support more than 1 vehicle, but is there a way to access the 2nd vehicle of a hangar from the base overview (as you can access the 1st one by simply right clicking on the hangar) or can they only be accessed by the Equip Craft panel ?
Post by: BlackStaff on June 29, 2022, 01:24:25 am
I love this pack!
Bravo and thanks !
I found an inconsistency...
After having researched Alien Alloys, we are proposed to do research on the "manufacture of Alloys"!
Ok!
But if you look in the workshops you already have the possibility to manufacture these Alloys!
Not very consistent!
So I added these lines in a "rul" file:
manufacture:
- name: STR_ALIEN_ALLOYS
requires:
- STR_ALIEN_ALLOYS
- STR_ALLOY_MANUFACTURING

Changes made:
*Updated to OXCE v7.9
*Improved and expanded Russian translation, by wolwerin
*Reworked Plasma tech tree, existing Human Plasma guns are deleted and new Plasma weapons are now available to Faction selection. Alien Plasma Weapons research project now includes Armored Engineers too
*Added new Plasma weapons, by Filip-H, The Reaver of Darkness, BlondeKnight and efrenespartano
# UN
- XP-3 Peacebringer Hybrid Plasma
# USA

- X-80 Plasma Stormgun
- FGM-77 Dragon Guided Munitions Launcher
# NATO
- MAS-73 E1 Plasma Carbine
- Enfield APEX Plasma Pistol

# USSR

*Added new Specialized Weapons to On Our Own path, sprites by wolwerin & Brain_322

*Bear Riot Armor now requires it's own wreck to fix, not XM-72 wreck, by Fegelein
*Delta EOD's MG3 now has LMG fire modes, suggested by eclecticbibliophile
*Hyperwave Encoder now appears in Alien Fort Underground stage

*Alloy Autocannon now grants LMG and Artillery commendations, suggested by eclecticbibliophileThis Major update replaces all the former human Plasma tech tree (designed and drawn by the great KingMob4313 for Equal Terms) to stuff designed and implemented by our team. Hopefully, the micromanagment is reduced. Also, an important lore addition was added to bring UNEXCOM closer to the prequel, UNEXCOM: Bureau 11 (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,9588.0.html). Lore reports and updated weapons of those field in the Secret Crisis in 1961 provide a link to both elements of the UNEXCOM canon.

Is there any further background music/sound recommendation apart from the submod/soundtrack?
Post by: GumChewer on August 22, 2023, 02:09:45 pm
No big work, I already did that for myself so I could post a patch, open a pull-request or similar.

Hi, and thanks! I enjoy Unexcom it a lot.
Is there any further background music/sound recommendation apart from the submod/soundtrack?
Hey there! Glad you are enjoying the mod. Unfortunately, just the 'Nam themed soundtrack.
How about an item categories for prisoners and corpses? Or preferable two separate categories.
No big work, I already did that for myself so I could post a patch, open a pull-request or similar.
Open a pull request at the WIP UNEXCOM GitHub repo
We are currently working on a balance pass here, feel free to contribute! (https://github.com/Inventorum-Development-Team/IDT_UNEXCOM/tree/v0.11.2)

Open a pull request at the WIP UNEXCOM GitHub repo
I have opened a pull request for the prisoners item category, it is the newest. My Github username is the same.
If possible, please consider also the others pull request I have opened.
I played about five campaigns with these changes on some version between 0.10 and 0.11, looke at the diff to 0.11.2, rebased and checked two times.
But I did not test on 0.11.2, it misses too many graphics for me to fix to get OXCE to start it.
Sorry for the delay too.

Unfortunately, I probably cannot contribute much there. I have not actually played any Xcom for some time, just no free time for me to spare.
Also, thanks for the invitation to the discord (in the TGWotW thread)! I have to check when I can handle that.

You don't need to do ANYTHING manually.
Just go to Options > Folders and click on the displayed "user folder" to open it.
That's it.

Can you tell me how to get this mod to work? https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,10723.0.html
I've tried editing the files in "Language" similarly, but it doesn't work
If I understand it correctly, you just need to change the metadata.yml file and write "master: UNEXCOM" instead of "master: 40k" in order to get it working.
It has been a while. Time to have another playthrough!
So nice! Hope you find something of your liking again, Cristao!
