Work In Progress / Re: Ammo - Weapon Question
« on: August 01, 2014, 12:31:12 am »
Aldorn: Well, I asked it here in first place because I supposed someone had made test before... You are very kind to make the testing and reporting back here! Thank you!
I just wanted to mod some bigger capacity (also heavier) ammo magazines for the Auto-Cannon, because I am focused in a mod about improved "conventional" (Firearms) X-Com weapons... As the Auto Cannon already has three ammo variants (four counting the Alien Alloys ammo present in the Final Mod Pack), in practice this modding would give us six different magazines for the weapon.

I was following the development of your modded Ufopaedia... About that nice effort: Do you know if it is possible to add new sections to the Ufopedia, or the modder can only change the existing ones and is stuck with the ten (I think) current sections present in the game? It would be nice to be able to make a "Ammunition" section of the Ufopedia where pages can be added wich shows a larger number of ammo types for a weapon (without showing the weapon itself).

LeBashar: I already thought about your approach, but I just wanted to have a light ammo magazine for the autocannon to be used by weaker soldiers, and a heavy magazine with more ammo for the stronger troops... I suppose I just can mod a "light Auto cannon" and a "haevy Auto Cannon", but I liked the concept of "ammo interchangeability"...

Work In Progress / Ammo - Weapon Question
« on: July 31, 2014, 01:47:50 am »
Anyone knows if there is a limit to the number of ammo types/magazines that can be assigned to a weapon? For example, three is the norm (HE, AP, I) and I have seen weapons with four types of associated ammo, but can be assigned a higher number of ammo types, for example six or seven? Will they be correctly shown in the Ufopedia screen? Thanks!

Very nice work! I like the Skytrooper more than the Improved Skyranger that is present in the Final Mod Pack. About the skyspotter, I think it looks a little too chubby... Just my humble opinion, but I think it would look better if made longer (also improve capacity to six troopers or 2 soldiers and a HWP) and given a bigger radar radome.

Thanks for sharing!

Just a question about game music: is it possible to mod the game in a way that the player can hear, for example: Tha original X-Com1 music and ALSO the X-Com2 music ina random basis? I explein further: Is the game able to randomly choose between files from a folder loaded with X-Com1 music and another one with the X-Com2 music?

I would appreciate to know more about this topic. Thanks!!!

Work In Progress / Learning to mod OpenXcom
« on: July 28, 2014, 12:01:32 am »
Hello!

  I am trying to learn how to mod this wonderful game, but it seems that it is not a simple affair... After playing some OpenXcom with the Final Mod Pack installed, I decided it would be nice to introduce a small quantity of content to that already very complete mod.

My first project was to modify the sniper rifle Bigobs graphic, and then, if possible, to add a Clip of explosive bullets for that weapon. As I got tired of just getting program crashes while testing the files, I am here asking for some help.

First: Is there any documentation, tutorials, modding guides, etc, about how to mod OpenXcom? If this is so, where can I get that stuff?

Second: Maybe some more experienced modder here can have a look at my little ruleset file, and tell me where the mistake is. One thing that could point to something important: When I load the ruleset with the "handsprite: 136" line, the game crashes after loading the battlescape, past the inventory screen, then opens the battlescape proper, and when the program is auto-saving, it crashes. If I suppress that line, the game runs smoothly, till the moment the soldier who carries the Sniper Rifle is about to fire... When I give the fire order, the game immediately cashes...

Can anybody help me?

Thanks!

PS: By the way, just in case someone wants to use the "new" Sniper Rifle graphic, I am attaching it here. I decided to make this new file because, to my taste, the graphic included in the Final Mod Pack looked a little "plain-grey" to me.

Success! I managed to use Aseprite software to my purpose! Here is the result: Explosive bullets for the Sniper rifle!  8) I finally could add a correctly shown image in the game screens!
I am working in a small Add-on mod to be used with the Final Mod Pack, and this item will be a part of it!

Thanks to all for the help!

Solarius: Thanks for your answers! I also hope the possibility of making two weapon tanks be enabled sometime in the future...
You are THE MAN! Thanks again for your excellent and undoubtely hard job! I am slowly making an "Add-on" mod for the FMP adding some little things I would like to give my X-Com Special Forces!!  8)

About tanks.... This is a question for the more (than me) knowledgeable modders here: Would it be possible to mod a tank with TWO weapon systems (just like a soldier holding a weapon in each hand)? For example a tank with a large calibre cannon (with just aimed/snap fire capacity) AND a smaller caliber autocannon with auto fire and less powerful ammo. What do you think? Someone tested that concept? Thanks! (Or may be... Tanks!)  8)

By the way: I would like to give a million thanks to the author(s) of this super-mod, because is completely fantastic, and also is very alive and kicking with frequent updates! It rocks!!  ;D
