I thought that such thread could be nice For new members, who would like to say hello

Heh, not gonna lie, I'll probably be the last person to get on with original xcoms come the release of XCOM 2. I always liked XCOM, ever since my friend showed it to me. Funny too, because he showed me XCOM: UFO DEFENSE about 2 years ago and it blew my mind. I used to play UFO: TTS and it was pretty impressive. Unfortunately the game's forums (and the development) are 4 years dead, with nobody on the internet with a tutorial on it. Not to mention it was my first DDos game since playing XCOM: UFO DEFENSE, so multiplayer was a no-go. I'm probably the youngest one here too. I'm a freshman at highschool and I really look foward to XCOM like games, but not the newer ones as much. I always liked grid based movement game, and I'm not sure why. I must've put 100+ hours into pokemon blue when I was 11 so I guess that was my enlightenment.

So I guess that's all about me, but I could really use a hand. My username is Spycar1234 on everything, so if you see that name it's me (if you want to contact me in any other way). But so far, I have questions.

For starters, TTS has trouble extracting files from enemy unknown for some reason. It says it can't extract pallets from geodata, I think the missing textures from that game is the reason why some things appear as boxes or different colors.

Second, I have started playing openxcom (Something a lot more alive thank god) and I bet I'll sound like an asshat for saying this, but are there any texture packs or mods to up the graphics? I guess open might not be for me. The reason why I question this is because I saw a mod showcasing a vehicle or something but the guy had a sick visual mod that made everything smoothed out.

Please respond to this, I really need the beginning push to get me started. I'll check my e-mail everyday.
