The mini-gun and gauss mods work fine, though have not tried them together.

I am looking to modify the laser weapons, but am not a programmer. Could you point me in a direction to learn this stuff? Perhaps a templete guide?  I hex edited the original game, but this different.
Currently looking at the mod resources, so absorbing what i can.
Though notedpad still works for charactors  and money.

TY

Deleted the original 1.0 with the control panel un-install. have already deleted, re-installed new 1.0 and the mod.
No data directory exists. Have not tried any other mods. I play Skyrim/Fallout4 and for sure you add mods one at a time to make sure things are stable.
Will try some others to see what happens.
I am a weapons freak so thought this would be a good start.

Ty for the timely return replies. :)

Weird?

Okay, halfway there. Yes, the install was in Program X86 and no mod directory in save location.

Put clean install in not either program files. Now there is a mod  location at saves. put mod there and the following error upon startup:

Error: Resources/weapon rework/Sound/ACC fire.ogg: Mix_LoadWav_RW with null src

The mod didn't specify any additional files for it to work.

What next?

Looked at some You tube vids for installing mods, but there is a difference.

The mod I am installing is openxcom.mod.io/arsenal-expanded.

From the vids I should put it in the data directory of the base openX location, not the save games location. There is suppose to be a data directory there, it is not. I created one anyway and put the mod there. Upon startup in the options/mod screen, it is not listed.

What did I do wrong? I did the patch update beforehand so am at a loss.

Thanks for any help

Hey there!

1.0 is the milestone version but is completely outdated by now since it was released years ago. You should delete it and instead get the latest nightly version (https://openxcom.org/git-builds/)

May I ask where exactly did you download 1.0 and where are you seeing mods for 1.3? There has never been a 1.3 version, or even a 1.1, after 1.0 all subsequent releases where made in the nightlies format.

Allrighty then, something is not right. Don't know where I got the original 1.0, but the app starter is 2015.

This is the link for the mod https://openxcom.mod.io/arsenal-expanded ...my mistake for saying it requires 1.3, just not compatible with 1.0

The link you provided is the same as the wiki and I did select the most recent:https://openxcom.org/git_builds/openxcom_git_master_2019_04_28_0415.zip...When installing comes back W32 Malware and stops installing.

I won't delete what I have cause it works fine for me...I'll do a sweep of my system to make sure nothing is hiding. Running win7

Old School I am from floppy disk days. I used hex editing back then to modify things, so VERY happy for this.
Question? I am running ver 1.0 and see mods for 1.3 only. Where can i download 1.3. The link from the Open-X wiki comes back as malware infected.
TY and cheers for all of this.
I also play Empire Deluxe if anyone remembers that.
