The X-Com Files / Cyberweb Lair ?

« on: October 23, 2021, 09:35:13 pm »

Hello again,

Trying to do my first Cyberweb Lair mission, i cannot find my way.

The briefing said to bring explosive, so i took my best boom tools.
I tried to go on the marked doors (screenshot) but nothing behind, so i tried to use my "High Explosive" i think it’s the name.
I dug 1 tile but that’s it. Same with the 3 doors.

Do i really need "a lot" of explosive, or am i missing something here ?

Thanks

The X-Com Files / Attacking a Cult HQ : confused i am

« on: October 20, 2021, 11:11:59 pm »

Hello,

I’m doing my first HQ attack, and it starts with my team of 8 split into two groups in different small rooms.
I cannot go anywhere but inside a kind of elevator ? So i go there, with group 1 and group 2, as the layouts are the same but i cannot regroup my team.

Then i have no idea what to do, so i end turn, and... Crazy, many Hidden IA movements, some melee seem to happen, but when it’s my turn again, beside some armor hit, i see nothing new.

Another turn goes just the same, so i quit until i understand what i am missing.

No idea what to do, where to go... I searched the forum for "HQ" related stuff, but only find questions about the geoscape locations of these HQ.

Thanks

The X-Com Files / YouTube blocks video because of "Strategist, Kensuke Ushio" music

Hello,

It seems YouTube is blocking my video because of "Strategist, Kensuke Ushio" music.
Not a "green" block, but a "yellow" one : cannot watch in 82% countries...

As a comment my videos, i have to redo a large part of it without the ingame music.

Is it "normal", expected, known ?

The X-Com Files / A way to remove all inventory from everyone ?

« on: October 11, 2021, 02:58:00 pm »

Hello,

I play with the last version of OXCE + XFiles + Additions. I’m in september 1997.

Is there a way to remove everything from everyone ?
I want all my stuff back in my base so i can count and share better between the different teams.
Only way i found is to set crew to a car/van then go to inventory and manually remove everything from the trunck of the van, and repeat with other soldiers.
The van because my other vehicles so far have only 2 crew so it’s faster with the 4 van crew.

Bonus question : when will i have better than the Public and Private cars, and the Van ?

Thanks

The X-Com Files / Tech Tree ?

« on: April 15, 2021, 08:03:08 pm »

Hello,

I’m trying to find a tech tree for this mod, but i can’t find any.
Like, some kind of a infograph visual with arrows going all ways.
Given how popular seems to be this Xcom-Files, i surely simply missed it.
Could you point me to the right direction ?

Thanks

Troubleshooting / Linux, error : "undefined symbol"

« on: May 28, 2017, 08:55:49 pm »

Hello,

I wanted to try again this game, but i have trouble installing it. I have the game's data from Steam, so i use PlayOnLinux to install X-COM with Steam Windows, then make a copy the folder.

I had a working version before, it was "1.0.518a651-dirty". I didn't really play it, it was just a test, and it was about one year ago i think, but i could launch a game and all was fine.

So i tried to remove it to installed the latest Nightly :

Code: [Select]

sudo remove openxcom

I follow the steps on the webpage for Linux Ubuntu (i'm on Mint but it's more or less the same) :

Code: [Select]

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:knapsu/openxcom-beta
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openxcom

Then i go to /home/tchey/.local/share/openxcom/UFO/

and i copy the files from my X-COM vanilla into it and replace the previous ones.

Then i open a terminal like i used to do for the "dirty" version :

Code: [Select]

openxcom
 Now i have this error :

Code: [Select]

~ $ openxcom
openxcom: symbol lookup error: openxcom: undefined symbol: _ZN4YAML6detail9node_data12empty_scalarB5cxx11E

What did i do wrong ? Thanks for reading.

Troubleshooting / I installed nightlies, but when i run openxcom i read 1.0 on main menu screen

« on: February 09, 2016, 01:04:06 am »

Hello,

I'm on Linux Mint

I've installed openxcom with the game from Steam.

I install the ppa -beta, update, installe with sudo apt-get install openxcom
Then i go to  /home/tchey/.local/share/openxcom/UFO
I copy the original folders from Steam to UFO folders

In a Terminal i do openxcom

Game launchs, it works, sounds and all, but then i can read "OpenXcom 1.0"  on the main menu screen. It should not be "Beta" or "Nighty" or something ?

Am i playing the last version ? What did i miss ?

Thanks
