Offtopic / Re: MIDI files player that sounds just like in game?

You can always mute the sound effects in OpenXcom, or turn off sound in DOSBox.

Troubleshooting / Re: OXC and OXCE latest dailies always crash - Segmentation Fault

The crash indicates outdated OXC data somewhere. Make sure you've done a clean install and don't have any old mods or "data" left in the install folders.

Guys, this is getting way off-topic. I sympathize with your situation, but this is not the place for it. If you wanna chat further, take it to DMs.

Suggestions / Re: [Devs][Warning-Idea] Fast download mods from mod.io as Foundation steam game :D

« on: March 16, 2023, 03:47:12 pm »

We tried mod.io integration some years ago, but there was no interest in it, you can see it here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,6556.msg141181.html#msg141181

If there's more interest we'll look into it again.

If you can code it, sure. Though you'll have to add the fixed ROLAND.CAT to the data patch.

I've opened a bug on sdl12-compat for you: https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl12-compat/issues/215
Can you post your system info? (Fedora version, SDL2 version, etc)

Does your X-COM version have MIDIs? Some only have Adlib support.

Open Feedback / Re: Which options - advanced are identical to original UFO1?

« on: June 07, 2022, 11:44:33 am »

None of the Advanced Options are vanilla. Some UI enhancements are enabled by default for convenience (and so people stop asking where they are ) but they shouldn't impact difficulty.

So:

* storage limit for recovered items - original was YES - it was limited and lost, right?
* live alien sale - I think it was allowed ofc, right? so, YES
* Sneaky AI???
* allow psi-capture was OFF?
* allow psi-strength improvement was.... ON?
* override line of fire was OFF?

All of these would be OFF in vanilla.

In addition I think there were one more hurdle in UFO1 which can not be turned on - item limit was 80 right?

This can be enabled via Mods.

Recycle Bin / Re: Squeezing a little bit more contrast/colors out of 0..63

Changing the color formula now would just potentially break every mod for little benefit.

It might've been influenced by Laser Squad, since Krisalis was involved in its PC port.

Work In Progress / Re: XCOM PS1 music renaming

« on: April 08, 2022, 10:40:53 pm »

A new game always starts with the first music track, it's randomized afterwards.

You can find the old PSX mods here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,6155.0.html

Your best option is to find the combination of Video Resolution and Geoscape / Battlescape Scale settings you're most comfortable with.
