If this counts weapons, how about the full suite of Liandri Corp weapons from the latest incarnation of Unreal?

Work In Progress / Re: Ideas for my TFTD megamod

I'm working on a sub combat rebalance, catch me on the Discord (or IRC) if you wanna talk about it (and want access to the messy beta version)

Suggestions / Re: UFO Extender accuracy discussion
« on: November 30, 2017, 02:09:59 am »*snip*
I'm asking because it's not a "fairly popular add-on", you are literally the only person I know of who doesn't use UFO Extender Accuracy. It's just so weird, so I suppose there is some reason behind it?
Vanilla feel. As much as I love modding OXC until it gets unstable, I'm trying to keep as much of the vanilla "feel" as possible. I am aware that some of the things I do, some of the mods I have, and nearly all the mods I've written, absolutely demolish the laws of vanilla, but we're each playing our own way, right?
Also might explain why I find the game easier on Superhuman than I do on Beginner...

I don't use UFOExtender accuracy, so it's just using the default values. I should probably update it because it seems to be a fairly popular add-on.

I have Elerium as a requirement for Laser Weapons because of the need to create ultra-pure crystals in a sharply reduced amount of time. I like to tailor the lore as well, but everyone has their own interpretation of it. Your lore sounds cool though.
I wonder if the admins would spring for a "lore" section where we could each take our shots at it and see what we like best.

Please! Please do it, NeoWorm! Although I consider myself a "purist" when it comes to sprites for X-Com, that Skyranger is to die for!

Thanks for the feedback, ohartenstein!
The shotguns are hilariously OP because the mod isn't designed to work with OXCE+, so they don't have access to the accuracy bonuses included in that. I admit they are a bit metal on the alien side of things (have fun facing the plasma shotgun) but I feel like that helps to balance the game some at the same time.
The heavy machine gun is meant to be a middle ground between the rifle and the auto cannon. I will freely admit that it fills its role too well, but the damage drops off pretty heavily in the mid-game when the Mutons start showing up and, like most weapons, it's more or less rendered useless against Sectopods. (HMG-IN?)
The stun rounds were meant to take the edge off capturing aliens. I admit they do allow for a lot of other utility uses as well, but given the variety of alien weapons you'll be up against when playing, you might be better off trying to stun them from afar than you will from exposing yourself to get clear shots.

Released Mods / X-Com UFO Defense Demo Mod
« on: October 24, 2017, 07:54:50 am »
Warboy, ohartenstein, and I recreated the demo for X-Com UFO Defense in OpenXCom as a custom mission (the demo for UFO Enemy Unknown is a different mission.) This mission WILL NOT disrupt your in-progress saves, nor will it appear in the main game. This has been extensively bug-tested, but your results may vary based upon the mods you're using in combination with it.
For optimal play:
- Use the equipment designated in the included Readme.txt
- Set the difficulty to Veteran
- Set the day/night slider to full night
NOTES:
- If you have any mods that change alienDeployments, they WILL NOT work! This mod has been hard-coded to have aliens use the original weapon sets to keep the feel of the demo.
- You may be overwhelmed rapidly if you play on settings above Veteran (but if you can win like that, more power to you!)
As always, please report any bugs here!

« on: October 02, 2017, 05:23:34 am »
Absolutely fantastic! I love your work, RSS Wizard. One thing I haven't been able to quite puzzle out, however, is which handob the Hydra Laser uses.
Edit: Thanks to the OXC Discord we worked out that it shares the Slugthrower's handob set.

OXCE Support / [Solved] Moar (Item) Launchers!
« on: September 30, 2017, 08:04:49 pm »
In playing with OXCE+, one of the things I realized would be nice to have would be to have more launcher types. For instance, it'd be nice to have a proximity mine launcher.

Thanks RSS, I'll keep an eye on this topic and grab what I can use ^^
Edit: Flak Cannon Sounds! Thanks to nadir, but relayed by me. I think these are from UT99.
