Xenonauts early beta had an AI that tossed grenades where it thought you might be - wound up being way overpowered since they start the map knowing exactly where you aren't.

Just stand 2 tiles away.  98% accuracy instead of 99 and immune to melee counters.  If you don't kill them, take 1 step forward and disrupt their attacks next turn.

What version of this mod is?

I would like to download and get it to my folder called "J-Kuns OpenXCOM Mod Collection" so that i can try these after some practice with cover, smoke and a tiny bit of other stuff that are not smoke and cover (Very important. But i recommend misses and deaths).

This version is based on the FMP tech progression currently.  TFTD flares are based on vanilla progression.

Ah yeah -  the flares were added to FMP.  That explains the miniaturization.   Moving to after power source and navigation would work.   Yes it might only take one UFO,  but the same can be said of all the plasma weapons as well.

If you really want to at least delay it a bit.  You could do require laser cannons and ufo power source or require an alien capture.

I tried making a flare that can be launched... but only items can glow     I had an early flare gun where the magazine glowed nice and bright!

The X-Com Files / [mod] Youtube Friendly Music

« on: November 12, 2017, 07:12:07 pm »

This is just a small mod for other LPers that replaces music that gets flagged in Youtube.  I try to replace the songs with attribution-free songs of the same... feeling, but I - in no way - spend as much time as Solarius does trying to pick the perfect one.  If you think you have something better, I am more than receptive.

I'll keep it updated as long as my LP runs.

Yeah, we were playing around with the prices - the original idea was to make them disposable, but I like what you've done with them.  I'll go ahead and fix the missing ufopaedia entry limit on my end. 

And you are free to complain, but how ever you die is entirely your fault.

Update by Meridian: newest version here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5727.msg114958.html#msg114958

These are for Kjotleik - these are the flares I made for my FMP and TFTD playthroughs - basically high-luminance flares that require alien technology to unlock.

« on: September 13, 2017, 01:25:45 am »

As always - my one and only advertisement for a new LP - featuring Solarius' X-COM Files!

This LP features Modified Cloning - no stat transfers like in X-Piratez, but we will be maintaining diaries for each named character.

The streams are weekdays at or around one CDT, archives always available on youtube.  There are no naming rules - but government-y agent names get bonus points!

I haven't played the most recent updates, but general rule of thumb - it has to heal wounds and can't be used on yourself.

That's because weapon types are determined by the alien mission - they are faction independent.  If you wanted to make 3 crackdown missions for every faction you could change the weapons for the auto-generated ones, but the retaliatory crackdowns for shooting down ships would still all have to share a single mission type.

i like the idea of it - it's a nice alternative to just gating everything behind RNG.

What's the best way to deal with an early game armored car anyway?  Bombs?  Molotovs?  Heavy shotguns?

If you're ever unsure, use a hammer.

One of the most damaging missions early game is the Excavation missions.  If you have two of those spawn outside your ship range back-to-back, its almost a guaranteed game over.
