Open Feedback / Re: New to XCom, Should I Go 1.0 or Nightlies?

While broken nightlies happen (though very rarely), they are normally as stable as the 1.0. There's really no reason not to use them.

Yeah, it's an interesting and ambitious project. I'll keep an eye on it.

@Arthanor: Yeah, I wanted tentacles somewhere, but it's hard to draw. Maybe later.

And let me withhold with adding melee weapons to the Bootypedia for now, since it's possibly in the rebalance zone... XD

@Solar: yeah, the ranks need to be replaced The ones you've posted are quite good, although they'd need some color, and I'm not sure what the last one is supposed to depict Not perfect, but clearly, an improvement over what we have now...

Thanks, it's the first attempt so I'm kinda happy with it.
As for the last one, it's obviously a female pirate captain!

Sorry about combo-breaking this (actually very interesting) topic, but I just made some experimental rank icons and wanted to share them.

Sure, they're not as great as the original graphics, but at least they're not X-Com ranks any more, which kind of annoy me in the mod. Besides, they're still better than TFTD graphics, because everything is.

The icons are black, because you know, black flag, but it can be changed easily.

PS: That separate icon, a shell, is a reject.

is the one i did right?, if so i'm flattered

Of course!
Sure they need a lot of polishing, or actually making them from scratch with actual pixel art, but I do love the concept.

I just think these armours are badass (big biker chicks yay), I don't care if they're necessary as long as they're in the game and balanced.

I have planned to make some more Mapblocks, containing landed/docker Medium Scouts, Fighters, Large Scouts and Sentry Ships.
Since those could be represented in a alien base 20x20x2 Map module. Will leave them in the FMP thread for your usage if you like, but do not expect anything before middle of december (my exams!)

Hell yes. This is something I've wanted for a long time, just never got to actually do it.

Well GW is known to be completely against fan based material or anything that infringes their copyright. Just two years ago they decided to place an absurd lawsuit about a book being sold on Amazon, claiming that they had the trademark of the term 'Space Marine', which is completely laughable.

I don't know if they'll notice a mod made for an open source project of a 20 year old game but I thought it better to inform the author of this mod of their legal attitude regarding these kind of fan projects since /reddit is quite a large medium.

Oh, as a former player (Chaos Space Marines and Dark Elves) I know that, GW is infamous for that in the community. I just think in this climate in Poland, their potential claims will be ignored. At least I've never, ever heard of any legal action of the sort, and it's not like Warhammer fandom isn't large.

I have it on my TODO list. At some point it will be implemented.

Supergroovy.

Then I guess it doesn't make much sense to try to push it in earlier? What do you think, guys?

FYI: This comment was posted on the /xcom subreddit when ivandogovich posted a pic of this mod there:

"Uh-oh, GW IP. Cease and desist order incoming."

Ahahahaha. Our servers are in Poland, and I don't believe anyone would treat them seriously there.

From a quick test of the FMP, it seems to be working correctly. We'll see if there's trouble.
