I know this may sound silly, but have you actually activated the Piratez mod in the mods section?
I know that on first bootup I had to do that, otherwise the game looked like ordinary XCom.

@KPJKC  Both previous suggestions are right on the money.

If you are still having problems, there is a Video Tutorial on installing X-Piratez here: https://youtu.be/L1WUpX9n7gY?t=54m11s

Thanks for the help, I had selected the mod in the menu a few times but it didn't activate properly due to the language setting.

All done now.

Hi all,

My last playthrough was on v98.B, and jumping in now with the current version there are a couple of things throwing me off. I'm almost suspecting I've messed up the installation somehow, but I've deleted and retried several times).

First, the menus are back to the old XCOM UFO strings - eg, there's no piratespeak in the menu. On the geoscape the Bootypedia is labelled UFOpedia again, rather than in 0.98.
Similarly, the piratespeak from the base menu is gone, so HANDS = SOLDIERS, etc.
I can understand if this was changed at some point for intuitiveness.

And the second point that makes me suspect I messed something up is that I've done 5 - 6 small landed UFO raids but haven't recovered anything sellable (e.g. engines) which is making it quite hard to earn any real money. Has recovering & selling parts been locked behind a tech?

Thanks a lot!

Looks like it's actually normal when upgrading a save - mission scripts go haywire. In all probability you've fallen victim to that.

Hi Dioxine, loving the mod - it's amazing what's been done with xcom (and Meridians changes too!). I've ended up with the same issue as the person who brought this up - crash on arrival at Siberian base. As it's my first play through I'm unsure about the importance of this mission - will there be negative effects from leaving it unactioned? Will it block completion of the game? (I assumed it was a faction base mission, and I've already completed one Academy Base mission).

Just trying to decide if I should continue as is or switch back to 0.98B. Thanks!
