OXCE Support / [Solved] steam overlay issue (please don't use `useOpenGL` directly)

« on: January 09, 2022, 06:35:13 pm »

launching oxce through steam (-useOpenGL true) forces a display filter on startup. problem is that disabling the filter also terminates the steam overlay. can this be fixed? or is there a command line argument to deny any filter on startup?

thx in advance!

Work In Progress / [MAYDAY] trying to make 2 mods compatible, but

« on: February 23, 2016, 01:26:24 pm »

questions, questions..

so last year i asked SolariusScorch if Svanh's Cultists mod could be used with his Final Mod Pack. he said:

Probably not, since it uses 3 item levels in unit deployments ( the alienDeployments section), while Final Mod Pack uses 5. If you want to make them compatible, you'll have to add two item sets to every unit in the Cult mod - a bit of work, but not much.

now looking at alienDeployments i find this:

so i guess i could just add 2 new weapons/ammo strings to each set and i should be good to go, right? in Final Mod Pack's items_FMP.rul there are custom goodies such as STR_MAGNUM and STR_AK47, etc. will i have to reference anything or i could just use the strings like any default one?
btw according to https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Alien_Rank there are 7 ranks, while CULT.rul has 8, so i'd assume alienRanks is also expandable. is that correct?

thanks in advance!

Suggestions / [SUGGESTION] Option to choose a music set?

« on: February 20, 2016, 01:09:01 am »

Since we already have what.. 3-4 music sets (for Defense at least), it would be great if we could just load the one we want in-game, rather than delete-copy-paste in the file manager. On the UI-side I can't see why 1-2 buttons wouldn't do the job, and it wouldn't be a coder's hell either.

Open Feedback / noob question

« on: May 22, 2015, 06:43:24 pm »

hi! i've been playing xenonauts for quite some time now and i'm just getting myself into (open)xcom. in xenonauts you can send as much interceptors onto a ufo as you want. can you do the same in (open)xcom? if not, will it be available as an option in the future? i was looking for LPs to see how others handle larger ships, but no luck. thx in advance!

Work In Progress / (Question) throwing grenades from in the ship?

« on: May 04, 2014, 12:56:42 pm »

hi! i've been watching a playthrough and what i'd like to know is how i could throw a grenade right out of the ship w/o having to take a single move down the ramp? i just went through a handful of mods and checked the advanced options too, but no find.
