Title: [SUGGESTIONS] Ideas for new total conversion
Post by: niculinux on June 18, 2014, 10:27:52 am
Helloa gain!

I think that for the game to have a second youth we'd need more total conversion, actually the one avaiable is the dioxine's pirate mod (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=1898.0) (at time i'm writing it's on 0.73 version). Well I know it's a hello of work, but any ideas in the meantime?

Thanks and have a great day!! <3

Master of Orion

Humans somehow managed to piss off every single alien power out there, who in turn formed an alliance and now you are tasked to defend Earth against the Alien Invasion.

40k mod would be awesome but be prepared to get sued for copyright infringement like you have never been before! ::)

That's partially why I want to see this. To watch Games Workshop flailing around aimlessly, trying to stop this. To watch them suffer.

On the other hand, they'd probably buy the rights on the original UFO and TFTD and close down all of OXC as revenge... :'(

They can't "close down the OXC". Although they've succeeded at their terror campaign, so everybody panics at the mere thought of them. I could go on, but it's not on topic.

Back on track, I would say I'd like to see something in space. I mean, really in space, with multiple planets, spaceships and so on. Surely it would be a bit more than Piratez, but wouldn't it be awesome?

Ey, what about an Aliens total conversion, but just for combat? Doing scary maps like Nostromo or the base of colony of LV-426. And after that, those aliens and equipment could be also for vanilla OpenXcom :P

Not a bad idea, but isn't this what we already have in the vanilla game? ;) We have marines, xenomorphs, starships, corridors and more!

The Smartgun would be easy to do, just give it 0 Energy and it'll be stationary (but able to turn). :)

You're thinking of the turrets; the "smartgun" is the machine gun used by Vasquez and Drake, tied to their hips using a harness.

Oh, right, that.

Auto Shot Accuracy 130 then. :P


EDIT: Sorry to go back there, but here's some proof that you can even make money on Games Workshop-related stuff while being completely independent of them: https://www.chapterhousestudios.com/
