You have to edit the font files, and change the dollar sign to whatever you want.

Specifically:  in, OpenXcom/DATA/Language/, the files FontBig, FontSmall, FontGeoBig, FontGeoSmall, which are all .png files. I recommend you back them up before messing around with them.

Have fun.

i'm sure it wouldn't be terribly difficult to acheive a news ticker, the hard part would be making it relevant.

You could make the news region-specific.

This is great. Now whenever the 'not enough equipment to rearm' screen comes up, I don't have to memorize the amount for every item.

I prefer the scanner as it is, but I also think this is a good idea for those who don't. I wouldn't say you need pencil and paper to use the scanner, though.

Offtopic / Re: X-com sell on the same week that OpenXcom and Xenonauts come out - Coincidence?

« on: June 20, 2014, 05:51:29 am »

Most likely a coincidence. The sale is not specific to the X-COM series, it's the annual Steam Store-wide Summer Sale.

Lots of great ideas here, Unknown. Haven't got the time to look over everything, but I like it so far.

Niculinux, are you going for a Vietnam total conversion?

With the new and improved OpenXcom engine I'd like to see a total conversion of this sort. Not necessarily Vietnam, but something not involving the aliens.

Anyone thought of making a custom soundtrack for this mod? The original X-COM music isn't quite fitting.

ethereals are the officer-class clones. not even the brain is the mastermind, it's just the centralized point for the local invasion fleet's psychic communication.

to put it in IT terms: the brain is the server, the ethereals are the administrators, the sectoids are the terminals.
you can shut down the server, the administrators will be locked out, and the terminals will lose network connectivity. the parent company still exists and so do the off-site backups.

All this lore stuff is getting confusing. :\

I actually never really use the relay trick either, but people are gonna want to be able to use grenade relay with instant grenades, or like you said, neither if that's their thing. Right now it's either one or the other, unless you just refuse to do relay entirely.

X-Com Apocalypse strikes again!

Explosions, explosions everywhere...

Easily one of the best parts of the whole game, especially since you never really know it can happen until it does.
