Thanks for giving me a tip about that ground car.

These mudrangers have a truly limited use.

Nice to see someone else playing this game after all these years.

One day I will beat tftd on ironman.

Why doesn't the game screen stretch in Main Menu and in base?

Is there a way to stretch the screen to the edges?

This game is unberable.

I need to start a base in Europe somewhere, not in Australia.

I'm a native Russian speaker by the way. So those names are hilarious to me.

I get it now.
X-Com files has always been activated.

On older versions it was an item on the list of modes. There are youtube videos explaining how to install openXcom. That's where I saw it.

On a different note.

How am I supposed to reach a farway suspicious activity with a mudranger whose range is so bloody short?

You know what I think?
I don't have a problem.

It just that x-com files doesn't appear on the list of mods anymore.

When I look at my options.cfg, I get:
mods:
  - active: true
    id: x-com-files
  - active: false
    id: xcom1
  - active: true
    id: Aliens_Pick_Up_Weapons

Wonder what this xcom1 is. In the folder, there are my saves.

File attached.

So your file path looks like C:\Games\X-COM UFO Defense\user\mods\XComFiles\openxcom_xfiles_1.6b, doesn't it?

Extract the zip directly into the mods folder instead.


Should end up looking like this:

I've actually extracted that zip.
It has 3 mods, really.
1.  DarkGeoscape
2. XCF Cyrillic Names
3. XComFiles

1 and 2 load. They are in the list of mods.
3 doesn't load. At least it doesn't appear in mods.

So I don't know if it must. Maybe it has. I just don't see it.
How to find out?

The game starts. Geoscape is there. Can you see from Geoscape? Is it in battles you see it? What's the difference exactly between classic and x-files in the way that battles play out?

Also, should I change resolution to 1920x1080 or leave it at 640x480?

Hi fellas
Got meself a situation on hands

So openxcom_xfiles_1.6b is in
C:\Games\X-COM UFO Defense\user\mods\XComFiles

When I run C:\Games\X-COM UFO Defense\OpenXcomEx.exe (Extended-6.7.2-24439bd08-2020-10-24-win64), the game works but I can't see X-Com Files in the list of mods for some reason.


In the X-Com files tab there's Cyrilic Name and Dark Geoscope but not X-Com files themselves.

Has X-Com Files been loaded? How do I find out?

Also, is it possible to stretch the main game menu window? It's just too smal even at 640x480.
The screenshots you see above is the actual screen size I get in the main menu. The game itself stretches fine.

Thanks

Max
