If you get too far ahead of yourself, you start worrying about things you'd pleasantly find out on your own.
Don't drink and drive.

Personally I'm less interested in SUPREME CHEATER AI and more of an AI that operates under the same limitations as a human player (it doesn't even know the map!) and tries to match them in performance.

If you're such hot  *CENSORED* with a massive grasp over how to properly pull this game off, then make your own XPiratez+

If you give me a compilation of them (armors for high temperatures) I might get around to slapping something together at some point when fate decides to let me crank shit out once more.

The real fun is when you eat shitloads of RAM while doing things much slower. :--DDD

Their only purpose at the moment is to make sure you're not locked out of doing things if you accidentally raidwipe your initial group of people at the very start of the game.

Switch the language to EN-US instead of EN-GB

Actually dont use this, while the music plays just fine in winamp somehow the game doesnt interpret it correctly and many of them are corrupt or play at the wrong rate.
(does openxcom support 16Khz sounds and music?)

I'm pretty sure it's either 22050 Hz or 44100 Hz and strictly 16-bit or enjoy having those things played back at those frequencies with no resampling.

My toaster has 1GB of memory. While it takes god-damn ages to load, like the thick end of ten minutes, it does run the game fine (although tabbing back in makes things chug again for 2 minutes). The excess just seems to get hauled over into pagefile, judging by the industrious amount of HDD usage.

That is the purpose of a pagefile, after all - to be "virtual" memory.

Offtopic / Re: What type of graphic filter you prefer ?

« on: March 16, 2018, 10:51:02 pm »

Most of the shit I do tends to be far too complicated for even the best of these filters to scale up;

resulting in some pretty nasty deformation instead of the intended look

So obviously I've learned to love the big squares despite being a big fan of said filters some six years ago.

Anything that isn't ufopaedia images are limited to index 1-255 (0 being transparent) of the defined battlescape palette.

I know that XPiratez now uses a custom pallet for the Inventories - but where is it.

I've looked in all the folders I think it should be in and can't seem to find it.

Closest thing I have lying around is
