OXCE Support / [Solved] Where do I install mods for OXCE+ ?

« on: January 30, 2018, 04:41:03 am »

Sorry if this information is elsewhere, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. All of the mod installation guides I've found reference an ../Documents/OpenXcom/mods folder to put my mods into, but when I did so it didn't see any of them. I then read that if that folder is missing (wasn't for me, but I thought maybe it was broken somehow) that running the game would create a new one; well I deleted the folder that was there, but it didn't create a new one after running it. I did a complete re-install of OXCE+, clearing out the old OpenXcom folder in the Program Files (x86) folder and created a new one, copied the OXCE+ files into it and then the OG files, but running the game again still didn't create a new one.

Possibly worth mentioning: I have two drives on my computer. One is my SSD, which is the C:/ drive and where the program files are being installed, but my Documents folder is on the hard drive, which is the D:/ drive. I suspect that could be part of the problem, but I wouldn't know how to fix it.

Also, where can I get mixed clothing? I've done several missions and haven't gotten any at all.

Troubleshooting / Tried making my own statsting for the first time for XPiratez, but errors abound

« on: July 07, 2016, 04:10:51 am »

Whenever I save this statstring below as XcomUtil_Statstrings.rul and turn on the XcomUtil Statstring mod,

Code: [Select]

# Based on XcomUtil by Scott Jones and BladeFireLight

# See https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Statstrings

# These are the default statStrings from XcomUtil.

# Melee has been added as a value that can be reported by statstrings.  Use "melee:" as the criteria.
 
statStrings:
 
- string: "x"
    psiStrength: [~, 30]
 
- string: "P"
    psiStrength: [80, ~]
 
- string: "p"
    psiStrength: [60, 79]
 
- string: "K"
    psiSkill: [60, ~]
 
- string: "k"
    psiSkill: [30, 59]
 
- string: "b"
    bravery: [60, ~]
 
- string: "c"
    bravery: [~, 10]
 
- string: "w"
    strength: [~, 25]
 
- string: "M"
    firing: [70, ~]
 
- string: "m"
    firing: [60, 69]
 
- string: "R"
    reactions: [60, ~]
 
- string: "r"
    reactions: [50, 59]
 
- string: "H"    strength: [50, ~] 
- string: "h"    strength: [40,49] 
- string: "F"    melee: [70, ~] 
- string: "f"    melee: [50,69] 
- string: "!"    throwing: [50, ~] 

and turn on the XcomUtil Statstring mod, I get an "end of map not found on line 12 column 8" or something (the error message won't let me copy it or interact with any other window or it will clothes itself. Upon copying and pasting that here, I can see that my entries are somehow formatted differently but it doesn't show up as any different in notepad so I have no idea how to fix it. Maybe it looks better in some other environment, but the default statstring .rul file makes no sense in terms of formatting in notepad. Help? Thanks in advance!

Offtopic / Is there a way to cheat in an improved meta-score in OpenXCom?

« on: June 08, 2016, 05:16:20 am »

I'm currently doing a run through for the first time with the Final Mod Pack, and I kinda messed up. A really rookie mistake, I forgot to check where the peak of ufo activity was after the first month and plop down a base accordingly. Now I'm a month behind and things have only rapidly escalated in that region, so my score has suffered a lot. Normally that would be fine, having a bad month wouldn't be so bad. Except that the score I got is ridiculously low: -1410, which can't be right. You only ever get a score that low if you ignore a terror mission. What I think happened was, in the middle of the month, I downed a terror ship but didn't do the ufo recovery mission so the game counted that as an "ignored" terror mission and scored me as such. It's really kind of unfair, and I'm afraid the score will be unrecoverable this coming month. Is there any way to just add 1000 points to my score manually?
