Open Feedback / Statstring Mod Abbreviations Defined

« on: October 16, 2015, 09:06:02 pm »

I am new playing X-Com UFO Defense, I am using openXcom of course. I enabled the Statstring mod, which seems useful. Is there somewhere online or can someone here list what the abbreviations mean? Some I know, like w=weak and b=high bravery. I just kind of want a list I can refer back to, to help me learn them and maybe print them off some I can always know what each one means until I learn them.

Thanks.

Open Feedback / Re: New to XCom, Should I Go 1.0 or Nightlies?

nightlies contain UFO and TFTD and a lot of fixes and improvements over 1.0, furthermore, 1.0 is not "more stable" as a lot of the bugs that were in that release have since been fixed. we're simply lazy with releases, but we'll be making the push for one soon.

Thanks for reply and answers, I will get started on a play through soon.

1.0 is probably OK for UFO, but TftD will only run on the nightlies at the moment.

If you are useing the Oct 10 nighty, you should be OK... but then again, it's your choice which one you use.

1.0 would be more stable, just don't want to miss out on some fixes or additions to UFO, since the stable build was a while back. I really don't know if the nightlies still contain stuff for UFO. But at the same time with nightlies, with fixes there could come up a bug that might break game or something. I am going to go with the nightly, only thing I notice was when I selected a few new video display filters, they wouldn't load and game would CTD.

Open Feedback / New to XCom, Should I Go 1.0 or Nightlies?

« on: October 10, 2015, 05:12:04 am »

I just bought X-COM UFO Defense and I heard about OpenXcom, now should I just go with 1.0 or do the Nightlies? I ask because 1.0 came out in 2014 and there may be some fixes that came out since then. Plus I will be getting Terror From The Deep soon.

I am using the current Nighly as of this post, Oct 10 2015

Also is there a master changelog for nightlies somewhere? I only see the limited ones on the OpenXcom site. I always love reading through changelogs.
