Programming / How close is milestone 2.0 game?

« on: March 11, 2016, 08:21:54 am »

I am absolutely fuckn retarded at installing anything. I managed to get some mods into the openxcom v1.0 but still can't follow the instructions for nightlies.

So.... my question is that I know allot of what's out there will become 2.0, about how close is that milestone? If everything can be packed into an installer for v2.0 where I don't have to copy files back and forth from zip archives that don't even extract to where I tell them to then that would be greeeat.

Work In Progress / Help! Why can't I alter the Xcom1 rulset?

« on: October 01, 2014, 06:35:33 am »

I used to alter the values for things in my ruleset using the vanilla game (like making missiles more powerful and giving soldiers 100TU) only now the openxcom won't let me save any changes made to the Xcom1ruleset?! I even tried to copy it to notepad and drag it back into the program's ruleset folder but it wouldn't let me?

Any ideas?

Work In Progress / PLAY AS THE ALIENS!!

Maybe it's been mentioned before but I thought it'd be really cool to play the game as the alien side and you fight xcom.
I don't know how doable this is, maybe not at all lol, but it's just an idea to throw around. Your object to winning the game would be to infiltrate enough earth countries to stop the xcom project or simnply assault all the xcom bases into oblivion.

Troubleshooting / <<< CRASH >>>

« on: June 16, 2014, 06:39:16 am »

Wtf? Game does not even load?

I got my vanilla version from Steam. I downloaded OpenXcom 1.0 and it ran one time until I started adding the mods (why couldn't you just add them all from the start and then have the user switch on which ones they want? Seems pretty doable but nobody did it).

I never altered anything, I just added the resources, etc... then rulesets and them to the config document as I've done before only now the game doesn't load and crashes upon trying to start up. I've launched it from the desktop icon and from menus but all just crash and say it had to close.

What should I do? I spent literally hours putting the mods in. Somebody should put together a version with them in already the ones that actually work that is) or at least bundle some popular ones together (I know the idea is floating around - I've seen the thread).

Work In Progress / Where is the SHOTGUN mod?

« on: June 16, 2014, 04:34:54 am »

I can't find it anywhere. One availble here in the completed mods section requires the original one that can't be found in the mod portal it just keeps giving me a temporary page unavailable message.
