Thanks for the hard work

Will the update be compatible with ongoing campaign, or i should better keep my current version so i break nothing ?

I’ve done another mission, no issue this time.

 One door was open, so i could access the main sewer and see the layout.

Next time if i have a similar walled door, at least i know how it can be layouted.

40k / Re: 40k

Hello,

About research, can we get some clarification, mostly everything :

Some thoughts on my completed playthrough:
- I was expecting X-COM style linear upgrades but overall most things seem like sidegrades? I went through the game mostly with the Heavy Bolter/Lascannon/Terminator Armor/Drop Pods. Research doesnt have that X-COM feeling of progression. I was excited to unlock all the weapons, armor, vehicles but when I looked at the stats didnt feel the need to use most of it.
- Speaking of research, was a bit confusing, had to refer to the tech tree post a lot
- variety in the weapons is cool but feels like there are so many different patterns of bolters/lasguns/etc that are similar
- does researching all the enemies/corpses/items do anything besides fill out lore? feels bad spending the research time, at least the middle mouse click gives some hints though

I’m playing OXCE+Files+Additions, and i’m having a blast, and i’m thinking maybe i’ll play 40k next month when/if i’m done with my current campagn.

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

It was indeed about me not understanding how to move between levels, and not even knowing it was a thing.

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 ?

Go to Craft Equipment screen and press X.

Or in other words, you don't need to remove it from the soldiers, you just need to remove it from the craft.

Yes, but my already equipped soldiers not in a Craft because of team rotation, or health issue, etc ?
 I have to set a Craft to these soldiers, then unequip the craft. Or i’m dumb (very possible).

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 / Re: Can I skip some arcs (Shogg, UAC) and still achieve victory in X-COM Files?

« on: October 10, 2021, 04:10:43 pm »

Hello,

What are the "must do" to actually reach end game and eventually victory, if all these arcs are optional ?

Feel free to spoil.

Thanks

Hello,

Is it then possible to "win" the game with only one base and never a second one ?

Work In Progress / Re: [WIP] X-Chronicles version 0.5

Hello,

 Is there a "nighly" version, or only the version 0.5 ? If you work continuously on this mod, would be nice to have the "rolling version", i think.

OpenXcom Extended / Re: GNU/Linux Debian 10: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_gfx.so.15

« on: October 05, 2021, 10:52:29 pm »

Thanks again

Not sure why but now i see this :

locate SDL_gfx
/usr/include/SDL/SDL_gfxBlitFunc.h
/usr/include/SDL/SDL_gfxPrimitives.h
/usr/include/SDL/SDL_gfxPrimitives_font.h
/usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so
/usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.16
/usr/lib/libSDL_gfx.so.16.9.1
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/SDL_gfx.pc

Without rebooting or nothing, maybe i just needed to wait for some reason ?

WINE will do for now, i prefer not to mess with my system unless i have a step by step noob friendly detailled way of doing stuff.
I am a Linux user, just as any lambda Windows user i guess, not a "techy/geek/something smart".
