Open Feedback / Advice needed on a new playthrough.

« on: February 03, 2016, 09:18:24 am »

Hello everyone.

I'm getting the itch to play Xcom again. And I wanted it to be a little different, so I decided to ask advice on what modpack, if any, I should use. I know the game pretty well, but I'm not some kind of strategic master of it.

So, advice and opinions would be appreciated.

Open Feedback / Tank line of sight issue

« on: February 19, 2015, 11:13:20 pm »

Tanks have weird line of sight. With the turret rotating seperate from the body and having the line of sight, it's possible to end up with a tank whose line of sight is locked backwards.

One solution is to have the turret realign to forward when you make the tank look (not move) in a certain direction with the right mouse button.
Another solution is to give the body and the turret their own line of sight cones.

Suggestions / [suggestion]Adding more stats to worn items.

« on: February 16, 2015, 11:27:24 pm »

Would it be possible to add additional stats to items while worn in the hands (or backpacks)?

I'm thinking about armor (to create forcefields or riot shields), perhaps night vision goggles or even accuracy boosters for use with pistols.

Also, would it be possible to make an armor or item have a negative effect on the accuracy of shots at the wearer?


Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

Work In Progress / New to modding, need a little guidance

« on: February 13, 2015, 07:47:05 am »

Greetings, everybody.

First, let me thank everyone for enhancing an old favorite game of mine with all these awesome mods.

Now, playing through the game got me thinking about an item that was lacking in the arsenal, and I wanted to make a mod introducing said item.
But I don't know how modding the game works.
So I was wondering if anyone had any tutorials or guides to share, or if I should just download some other mod and start tweaking it to see what happens.

Thanks a lot for any advice you have.
