Playthroughs / Streaming OpenXcom on Twitch.

« on: May 12, 2018, 09:50:55 pm »

Hey.

It has been years and years since I played Xcom. I recently backed a game called Phoenix Point. I bet many of you were super excited to hear about Phoenix Point too. It should be great. I am thinking it will be a mix of apocalypse and TFTD. To get myself hyped I will be doing a playthrough of several of the Xcom games.

I plan to run:
1. Ufo Denfense (With fmp, vanilla, and piratez at some point).
2. Terror from the Deep.
3. Apocalypse. 
4. Enemy Unknown

Those are the ones that I have planned at the moment. I recently discovered that several more really awesome mods exist. So I would like to maybe try and include those. I am streaming for about 3 hours a day right now. Phoenix Point releases at the end of this year hopefully. We will see how far I get.

Anyway, if you have suggestions or would like to watch me fail feel free. I'm also up for suggestions, tips, tricks, etc. If you'd like me to try your mod I will try to do that too.

Suggestions / Mod Leaderboard? Suggestions

« on: May 09, 2018, 10:38:47 pm »

I am really amazed by how much game I have to play now. I know that most of the big mods are done by just a handful of people, but I bet there are still a few really good mods that I've neglected. Is there a good list of the most popular mods available? If not, could you give me some suggestions? What are your favorite mods? I noticed that a 40k one exists apparently. I've found the board sort of difficult to navigate. I'm also pretty new. So maybe this has all been asked a hundred times.

Major & Popular Mods (Not a small mod, something that really changes the game overall):

My list:
1. Area 51
2. FMP
3. Xcom Files
4. Piratez

Suggestions / Deaf Player sound effects.

Does anyone know if a mod exists that replaces the sound effects during the aliens turn with captions? Something like this would be extremely helpful for someone who has hearing disabilities or simply can't hear the game for whatever reason.

Suggestions / Fatal Wounds

Hey.

I've been having trouble telling when someone has a fatal wound. Do any mods exist to remedy this problem? I am thinking something that possible either changed how the character looked, added a symbol above them, or shows it from the soldier stats without having to go into the actual window.

I try to keep tabs but I seem to always miss it somehow.
