I mean, aren't the Sectoids the posterSame as the leaders only the headband is green.boysaliens of the extraterrestrial clone army? Them looking like they're all brothers is a feature...
Anyhow, what do your Sectoid engineers look like?
A lot of them already do. Likely a majority, even. Since there are so many and there's only so much art effort to go around, which ones in particular bother you?Sectoids.
I use Irfanview.Maybe I am looking at the wrong program here but from what I see that thing is a video player. I can open an image file with it but I can't save it.
It's not even an editor, just a viewer and converter.
But many people use many different tools.
In that case you can create your image in paint.net and save it as a BMP for example.Good idea. What's the easiest thing to use for this? I understand you need to configure something about color pallets.
And just do the bmp->png conversion in a different program.
Paint.Net is literally the worst program to use to create/edit images for Openxcom.I see. Well, that sucks. I definitively don't have the time to learn an entire new tool. So I guess I have no choice but to abandon things.
There are no instructions here simply because nobody uses it... because it simply doesn't work.
The only advice we can give you is: use something else, anything else.
There is 50% chance... Should I make it 100%?I do not know if this is possible using the engine but I think the best solution would be an incremental system. As in, have it start at 50% and than rise by X% every month such that it reaches 100% after how ever many months you think is balanced as the latest date. So say 10% would give you 5 months, 20% would give you 3 etc.
Anyway, this was in the context of stunning enemiesI was talking in general. That's the point of divergence than.
Knockout Grenade.Thanks. Somehow I succeeded in completely missing that one. O_o
Indeed. But they're the safe high-damage, high-penetration option for when you really need to capture a tough enemy.I kind of just flood the enemy with smoke and bumrush them with bioelectric tazers.
You mean this: "It can also be used underwater"? That's definitely not 'purely underwater'.Fair enough. I admit to remembering wrong.
Milkors and regular GLs are only better with aimed shots at long ranges. Snaps are mostly worse, both for accuracy and TU. And the regular blunt ammo (as opposed to TGL) isn't too reliable at one-shotting, while electric darts are pretty consistent at two-shotting. Long-range, arcing fire and the ability to use other ammo is what makes them better, IMO. Plus reloading that also eats TU. TGL is where it's really no longer remotely competitive.They are however far more versatile because they can provide you with smoke, HE or other forms of cover as well. It's kind of like how Taser Pistols are generally not great as stun weapons but the fact you can give one to each soldier for very little weight and inventory space just makes them a workhorse for me.
These effing canines seem to be the answer to everything. 😢I am yet to try using dogs or any animals. Also, just how do you equip tamed minotaurs? I have 3 in my inventory just chilling.
The only thing you will need to capture underwater are aquatoids. Those arrive in a ship (and everyone except possibly one start inside the ship). It is IMHO the best strategy to rush there to melee them with stun rods/prods (you may also throw a couple of gas mines from shorter ranges). If you try to defeat aquatoids with ranged weapons, they will wreck your guys with their better vision and sonic weapons.It's not really about capturing. Although captured stuff sells better than corpses so there is that.
