The X-Com Files / Re: How to use Satelite Launch Supply?

« on: April 24, 2021, 04:56:32 pm »

I am not sure but I think I still did this. And that is why I have this "Satelite Launch Supply" item in my stock.

I am still not able to do anything with it. I can not manufactore or research something when it is at my base. And I am not able to put it as an equipement to a plane.

I could upgrade my OXCE and X-Com Files. But I am scared. The last two times I did this I had a lot of trouble and problems. I nearly lost my savegames.

The mod was deactived. I can't understand why.
XCOM2 was load by default.

After activating I get an error again.

I see. That sounds like a good solution.

I have the lates X-Com Files 1.7b and lates OXCE. It starts now.
But my savegames are not displayed in the game menu. The save game list is empty.

But the sav-files are still in ~/.local/share/openxcom/x-com-files. What can do to bring them back in the game?

I was using the OXCE Version from 2019 (with X-Files mod). Today I downloaded the Nov. 2020 version and simply overwrite all 2019 files with the new ones from the downloaded archiv.

Now I have a strange error.

[21-12-2020_20-34-25]   [ERROR]   Error processing 'STR_DAVID_VINCENT' in units: Item STR_STR_DESERT_EAGLE not found
Error processing 'STR_FEMALE_CIVILIAN_CITY_GIRL' in units: Item STR_PAINKILLERS not found
Error processing 'STR_MALE_CIVILIAN_CITY_BOY' in units: Item STR_PAINKILLERS not found


Sounds like a problem with the Mod. But I do not understand why the Mod matters.
I did not updated the Mod! An old Mod version should work with a new/fresh OXCE version - in my understanding.

So what do I missunderstand here?

On the geoscape landed UFOs are appearing like bases. Red colored rectangles - not green crosses.
But I am not allowed to attack them.

What do I need here?

The X-Com Files / Scientist: Same project on mutlible bases

« on: May 10, 2020, 12:20:34 pm »

I have three bases with a Virtualized Head Quarter. So I can employ scientists at all three bases?

From the GUI it is possible to let them all work on the same project no matter where there home base is. But the question is if this is usefull?

When employ 10 scientist on each of 3 bases on the same project - it is the same as employ 30 scientist at one base with the same project?

Some goverments stop paying me (e.g. because of alien infiltration).

Do they come back if I solve the problems? Or is their money lost for anytime?

I do not fully understand. Can I earn money while let the engineers build something and sell it?

What is about durathread? Build cost is 2k and sell price is 3k. But the engineers cost money each month. There is no profit isn't it?

The X-Com Files / concealable is not concealable

« on: March 25, 2020, 11:46:15 pm »

I do not understand what is concealable and what not.
It does not matter if the Ufopedia say a pistol is "concealable". I am not able to take it with me in undercover missions.

Before starting an undercover mission, how do I know what can I take with me and what not?
