Released Mods / Metal Gear Solid V Character Namer

« on: April 02, 2018, 03:13:26 am »

 Now do you remember? Who you are? What you were meant to do? I cheated death, thanks to you. And thanks to you I've left my mark. You have too - you've written your own history. You're your own man. I'm Big Boss, and you are too... No... He's the two of us. Together. Where we are today? We built it. This story - this "legend" - it's ours. We can change the world - and with it, the future. I am you, and you are me. Carry that with you, wherever you go. Thank you... my friend. From here on out, you're Big Boss.

- Quote from Big Boss MGS:V


Here is a simple mod I made that makes the characters in your x-com games have the names of MGS:V staff.


The list is based on the actual code names from the game.


UPDATE: There was a flaw in my old mod (osprey was bugged) but I fixed it and now the mod is better than ever. Sorry for the long reply! 


Examples:

Clawless Bat
Clueless Bear
Collared Beetle
Corn Bison
Green Laughing Falcon
Etc..

Help / Turning an friendly unit into an ai controlled one? Evil Doge??

« on: April 01, 2018, 10:29:46 pm »

I want to make an ENEMY AI version of the doge mod, I've got a version I made that runs and gives no errors but I can't see if it works. When I go into quick battle they don't show up under the alien races, I must be doing something wrong but can anyone tell me how difficult this would be to do? I've got other ideas based off the doge mod so if someone could help me that would be AWESOME!
Thank you guys so much!
 

One idea I have is https://www.realm667.com/index.php/en/beastiary-mainmenu-136/744-rottweiler converting these sprites. Someone ( Captain Toenail) already made a rottweiler using sprites from wolf 3d as a base(where the original doge sprites are from), so this would be a cool asset!

--- posts merged. please be informed that double posting isn't a cool thing to do ---

Here's the modified code I made, It's probably really bad lol Any help is appreciated!

Help / Crafting items with.. items??

« on: April 01, 2018, 06:19:18 pm »

I'm thinking about making a mod with several versions of the standard rifle, each one is unlocked via research.
(standard, extended clip, scope, lazer scope, forward grip, larger caliber ammo)
is it possible to make a recipe that would use rifle as an item required for manufacturing?
(my idea is that you would be upgrading the rifle with the highest possible mods.)
where should I be looking to edit the data?

Thanks for any help guys!

How hard would it to be to make my own research tree? Any good mods I can look at for this?
  Thanks!

Help / changing the height of the gun for sectoid?

« on: March 31, 2018, 07:37:42 pm »

I've swapped out the sectoid sprites for a different sprite set (human in jungle uniform), The guns seem to still be sitting in the same spot they would for an sectoid though (low),
Is there a place to change this setting? I don't want to change the gun height for all characters, just the sectoid. I'm figuring it's a setting I missed, maybe you guys can help me!
Thanks in advance!

Help / Replacing sectoids?

« on: March 29, 2018, 06:59:24 pm »

So far I've figured out how to change all the sectoid weapons to human weapons but how do I replace the sprites for the sectoids?
I want to replace the sprites with human sprites, just for fun. I'd need to replace the battlefield sprite and the corpse sprites as well.
Is there any total conversion mods that change all the basic stuff in the game I can look at for examples?
Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Edit: Ok I think I figured out how to add the the type of alien I want through a mod, but is there any good mods that replace vanilla stuff?
I'd like to see how they did it! Thanks again!

« on: March 27, 2018, 07:43:02 pm »

I am playing final mod and ive got a question:

I keep seeing stuff like /Br /mSct /m /bwm

example :

when i look at the loadout for my skyraider 1, this is what I see:

Pili Birir /bwm                                  Rookie                                                Skyraider 1



What does the /bwm mean? is that something or did I break the mod? lol

Help / How to add weapons to the store?

« on: March 27, 2018, 05:54:41 pm »

I'm playing final mod and I see there is an ak47, uzi and RPG launcher in common but I can't figure out how to add them to the store. I've added them to my starting base but they are blue and you can't buy more. How can I make these guys buyable (and preferably white on the buy screen)??
thanks in advance for your help!

Help / replacing vanilla sprites

« on: March 27, 2018, 12:31:50 am »

I want to replace the original uniforms in the game with ones I have drawn. They work when I'm using them as a mod but I have no idea how to change the default uniforms. i want to replace for both the inventory screens and the battle scenes! Thanks for any help!

Also How do I edit how default stuff looks in the inventory?  like the default rifle for example.

Like I said I've got mods to work but I want to change the vanilla stuff, is this possible?
