XPiratez / Re: Is there a 32-bit version of X-Piratez?

There is a download for openxcom extended 32 bit here:

You could copy over the modfiles and see if it works.

Why do you have to restart?

Just take a look at https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,4133.0.html if you have to adjust anything. Most of the time there's nothing to do. The one important thing to pay attention to is avoiding updates during tactical battle.

The X-Com Files / Re: How to make this thing go on Mac
« on: April 17, 2020, 09:06:59 pm »
I have no experience with Mac but can't you create the folders? Create a folder called user in the main directory. Then create a folder called mods within that user folder. Copy mod files into that mods folder.

As i understand it after concluding the Eurosyndicate deal you will be asked to do some shady business which is not entirely in your interest. In those missions you are basically fighting the Mutant Alliance, meaning those people which you are usually trying to protect during pogroms and your gals are mutants as well. So there are big public relations consequences for doing these missions. The score malus is intended that way.
Approaching by foot in my understanding means that the mission layout includes no ship, but you are able land nearby using a ship.

Can't say much about your second question, though

It isn't for everyone. If slow tech progress annoys you i'd avoid the megamods and take a look at the mods that only modify the originals to some extent. The last sentence really says a lot, since melee is a cornerstone throughout the entire campaign. It is not worth it if it frustrates you.

I guess smoke grenades still act in the same way, but there now is a spotter/sniper mechanic in place, in that if some units spot you the enemy team knows the position for (i think) 3 turns. So you receive a lot of inaccurate fire, even if the enemy shouldn't be able to see you right now. It somewhat resembles supression fire in my opinion. But the battles now get sooooo nasty sometimes :P

Search the forum for spotter/sniper. There should be some better explanations around.

I think it doesn't come with OXCE included anymore. So you need to download that first:

https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5258.0.html

Now in the main OXCE directory create a folder called user and within that a folder called mods. XcomFiles and DarkGeoscape go into that mods folder.

XPiratez / Re: Stuff I'd love to see in XPiratez!
« on: November 28, 2019, 09:55:58 pm »
I have no idea if it's feasible, but I thought it would be nice to have a way to know directly in the tactical phase if an enemy is unknown or if it has already been dissected or if there would still be some things that an interrogation could bring for research.

I would have put that somewhere in the inventory page, the one you access when you click on the middle button on an enemy.

I'm sorry if this is too twisted a request and thanks in advance.

Doesn't that exist already? If you middleclick again on the paperdoll you get the opponents stats. If you didn't research him at least once you don't get that page.

Playing again after quite some time. I love the changes, mostly how hunter-killer increase the immersion for me. You deal with powerful enemies who don't just let you have Air-Superiority on a planet they control and go after you if the opportunity arises. A fast bomber on a Peacekeeping mission sometimes really forces me to keep the peace.

XPiratez / Re: Reactivating Auto Night Vision?
« on: May 13, 2019, 02:04:15 am »
I would be interested to know why the option in the settings was removed and we now have to adjust this for every damn night mission. I just started a new campaign and NV doesn't trigger at all. If somebody was unhappy with how this worked, he could have left it off by default and only activate it once needed. Guess what, thats how it is now, but for EVERYBODY. I used it without any problems, but now have to toggle this every single time. But loud minorities always get their way, i guess.

Usually its structured like this:

The OXCE main folder has these folders:

common, standard, TFTD, UFO, user, and  OpenXcomEx (the executable)

the user folder has a subfolder called mods, and this is where all the mods are placed. They can be enabled or disabled from the ingame menu.

You then only have to start the game by using the executable in the main folder. If you start it with the executable in your picture it will not find 'common', which as mentioned above is in the main folder as well.

Some other mods like piratez and Xcom-files come with this structure already in place.

I run it on Linux, so i don't know if there are major differences, but wouldn't you usually put in into /user/mods? I don't have that executable in the folder, either.

But does this mechanic works only if one can pick the gun with the mouse and drag it towards the unload icon? For tanks and similar units this may not work as the guns are fixed to the unit. Maybe there is a shortcut?

Yes, you are right. You have to be able to drag it.  :-[
