Well, this sounds like a must. I'll check it out!

Thank you Solarius! Hope you like it. Style is identical to base X-Com Files so I think you will! (Loved the tracks used in the base mod)

Interesting. I checked some random tracks, and most of them were kinda too peaceful for my taste, especially the 'ambient' bunch. I much prefer Stone Lake's XCF Remusic, as far as cursory first looks go.

But don't let me discourage you, music is very much a subjective matter.

That's my idea! Keep the same vibes as X-Com Files original tracks. Love the 'ambient' feelinng as you are finding you next tactical move.

200+ new tracks! Each one selected specifically for each faction. Any feedback is highly appreciated, and the team is also open to suggestions to further improve. I tried to follow the same style as original X-Com Files does.

OXCE Suggestions DONE / Re: [Suggestion] Soldier names limited to region/country

It is a great idea that will help immersion! Maybe it would be more reasonable to have region-specific soldiers (instead of only Japanese, Chinese and Korean too)
It should have a variable modifier so as not to make it feel "forced". And if we go to the extreme, we could even have random fluff weight about closed countries (North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan) or even military alliances (NATO).

Help / Make a nation appear more often than others

« on: October 14, 2022, 07:10:41 pm »

Title. It is possible? I want to make agents from countries like US, Germany, Russia, China and the United Kingdom to be more prevalent (more common to see soldiers from these nations)
And then add little islands or countries with small armies to be rare, but to be present as well!
Lets say, you would get like 3-5 US agents and 3-2 german-russian ones, and every once in a while you would get soldiers from Sweden, Switzerland, Iceland or other countries.


If you do know alternatives or workarounds, please share! I'm very interested in making this work.

OXCE Suggestions DONE / [DONE][SUGGESTION] "nationFrequency"

« on: September 05, 2022, 06:39:27 pm »

Hey! I'm making a mod about names, and I would love to have some control over what nationality do agents get.
Xenonauts had something like this: "<Nation MODMERGE="insert" MODMERGEATTRIBUTE="name" name="Hungarian" chance="10" flag="hungary" >"

"chance" is the probability that said agent belongs to that nation (In this case, Hungary).
It would help me to elaborate immersion, because in some games you rarely find soldiers from, say, countries like England, Russia, Germany, China or the United States. Countries that would contribute many more soldiers than the rest.
This work the same for nations that are islands or very small countries. It should be very rare to have soldiers from those countries.

I solved it reinstalling it, and changing the game to same-disk savegame folder (previously, savegames were stored at (C:) and game was installed at (D:). Now they are both on (C:) and it works as usual!
Thanks!

The X-Com Files / Saving and loading times take much longer

« on: June 07, 2022, 09:45:03 pm »

Hey, I don't know what I can do to fix this problem, but since yesterday my savegame started to take like 10 seconds to save or load respectively. If I start a new game, it works as expected with saving/loading times immediately.
Weirdest thing is loading savegames from before this problem doesn't fix anything, since it has the same delay.
Anyone has one idea about what is happening? I remember saving and loading A LOT of times before this problem, since I was trying to see something, but It can't be the issue since older saves would work as usual... right?

It doesn't work as far as fixing the desyncs, unfortunately.

Desyncs previous to mod's activation will stay that way. Can't do anything about it!

I am kinda away and will check your mod in a few days. But if I like it, why not incorporate it, if you are fine with it? It does not impact the gameplay, it's not controversial in any way, so why not just make it official?

Stay tuned

Well, I'm worried about the timing between updates. I do this as a personal hobby, I like the feeling of doing something right. When I look at a random name that I KNOW it's some random gibberish I lost the immersion and it starts looking like a placeholder rather than an identity (which it technically is) I may see some article about grammar or cultural details and the first thing I think of is if it's implemented in the mod.

That is my own level of detail. I change it constantly, sometimes overruling previous changes. I do not want anything from my work feeling out of place, especially if it involves the work of other people (like yours, one I admire and enjoy.)

We could talk this, that is for sure. But right now, some nations are kinda on the "wip" stage. For now, I'm 100% sure that working as a submod is the best outcome. At least, for now.
You can use my namelist as you like! But like I said, Lithuanian (the example I put on the other post) is far from finished. I'm busy too right now, but I work on it from time to time.

Let's keep in touch!
