XPiratez / Re: [piratez] Martial Training

Yeah, Gym/Dojo trains everything except VooDoo, Bravery, and Reactions.

So it makes for an amazing off-site facility for training your B/C/however many other teams you make. You can actually outstat your main team sometimes (depending on how badly your wounded times are and casualty rate).

Also, the "Improve Anytime" advanced mod/option only affects VooDoo (which I use because it's dumb to limit yourself to month-to-month, either way the time required to improve is the same range) but doesn't matter with the Gym/Dojo (as it ticks/procs daily, like Dioxine stated).

Yeah, this was all answered by Dioxine, but there's my three cents.

I have no idea how you went through all those videos so quick, Dioxine. You must have skipped around and/or set to like double speed.

Honestly, I could easily trounce anyone with the amount of plasma weapons I have in cold storage, but my playstyle is much more towards ammo conversation and kidnapping. That's the main reason I suffer against enemies like the Mercenaries, in addition to playing just way too aggressively against them.

Yeah, I agree in regards: not upgrading is not very helpful for you as the creator and playing the latest incentivizes you as the creator as people enjoy the new content (rather than playing old versions and not enjoying the new stuff you were putting in).

The issue for me is for my viewers; starting from scratch seems like a slap in the face (as in, "Oh look we got this far, but we're just arbitrarily going to restart just because") when they haven't seen the mid/end-game of Piratez or myself (which in all honestly, I never got too far in Weapon research or Craft research; Predators/Crabs are a huge mainstay for me, as are the customized ballistics weaponry [trying to keep tabs on all the different types of ammo and ensuring appropriate amounts and materials can be hectic live, rather than just hitting pause during recording]).

Plus, if I keep restarting, I'll never finish or get to do fun challenges (like sell Bonaventura for a Pachyderm or Skyranger or something).

I wonder when I should restart the stream campaign. Still not very far in the mid-game... and nowhere near the end-game (haven't even unlocked the research for the "keys" to the Star God kingdom, so to speak).

Hah, now I get what you meant.

Why did you need to edit the save, again?

XPiratez / Re: Let's play X-PirateZ [#20] Friendly Fire

Hi all,

I have compiled my own version of OpenXcom Extended 2.5b.

Changes:
+ added after-mission stat increase page (see screenshot) ... more info: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2461.0.html
- removed epileptic flashing explosions effects

Attached also compiled executable.
(I don't know how to include the DLLs into EXE, so it's a bunch of files. Just extract and run "OpenXcomExt.exe".)

Have fun!

PS: compatible with X-PirateZ 0.97 and 0.97a

Hmm, not even sure where to start with the compiling stuff. Does this include Soldier Diaries as well or no?

Oooh nice.

Maybe I should start looking into this to include Soldier Stats & Diaries...

Gah... keeping track of commits though...

Yeah, sounds great!

My only suggestion would be perhaps making a .gif that walks/turns in place (instead of the grid placement) but that might take a lot longer to do.

My poor Revenant armor.

I always viewed Revenant armor more as the new Bain costume (rather than the old/cartoon version), but with the metal armor enhanced further.

I'll withhold comment until near final rather than dissuade creativity so early.

Armor is 30% more effective against shovels, whereas spiked mace ignores 30% of armor.

I think these are really amazing.

The breasts are just... too big. I honestly would like to see how they would appear perhaps a cup or two smaller?

The musculature is amazing, as well as the glistening skin and shading.

I'd like to see more eye colors (especially the glowing red).

The flair added to the armor is greatly detailed and pops very well.

Having randomized fashion choices per armor (perhaps 4-6?) would be great as well, to really minimize the standardized look-a-like appearance.

(Not trying to toot my own horn, but perhaps the trophies I listed in the other thread could inspire some choices, especially for the more advanced equipment that really begins to make gals identical twins)

Looks like the Runt armor gal has a pigtail? That's really awesome! I think that armor could use pockets as well as satchels/straps on the waist/shoulder.

My favorite armors in no particular order: Defender, Plate Mail with Shield, Revenant, Annihilator and Harbinger (although I wish this would look more like WH40k librarians; flair like banners or piratey tattoos/etchings, etc).

Also, quick reference guide: Piratez Armors

What about the shoulder pads? Also, Pirate01.gif looks like she may have a hidden eyepatch?

What's supposed to be in the cleavage... ammo? Grenade?

Thought I'd leave this here for the future Pirate Diaries integration.

I went with a different feel than medals/awards... and with "trophies"/tattoos. So further decorations would be like... painting stuff red or etching stuff into it (like how pilots add enemy ships or kills etc), maybe even additional beads or jewels, etc.

Anyway, I modified a save file to have majority of them (I have no idea how the noun: crap works, maybe Arthanor can step in and modify it so all medals show up?). Piratez_Trophies is the commendation mod, and requires Nightly 2015_12_12_1835 (which I believe says such in the save file).

Also, none of the graphics can be changed nor has the UFOpaedia entries modified at all (just the basic name and description for now).

For those that don't feel like going through the hassle of downloading the attachments, here is the pasted code:
