1. So proud bulletdesigner mentioned me in the credits section! Much obliged, kind sir!

2. I just wanted you guys (bullet and ohartenstein23, mostly) that ALL the strings (not just thee extraStrings) have been verified and it's safe to use them in the next update (I tried them myself yesterday, and there were no issues to be reported, just an odd comma or two).

3. If you think there is other stuff I could edit our double-check, feel free to ask.

thanks for the swift reply! do tell if the work is worthwhile. please bear in mind this is my first openxcom endeavor, so mistakes are bound to happen. as I speak, I realise that  there are some typos I overlooked. as stated previously, will revisit the text asap.

String files proofread and edited. 10x to Bullet and Ohartenstein23.

Once the next version goes online, will promise to revisit the text. In the meanwhile, all visitors with a decent command of English and some familiarity with the lore are kindly asked to go through the texts.

I just realized that not all the text used in the mod is available in the extraStrings... I need a bit of assistance to locate the other text files, so I can proofread them. Any help would be appreciated! Should I just check out the strings files? I would gladly proofread everything, if I had ALL the bloody text files in the same place!

Hi TheDeparted, we have pedia text for all of the IG stuff and I've been working my way through the current set of strings/text to clean them up, but for any article that looks like it has just stand-in text (e.g. the article text is just the title of the article) or is copied straight from UFO we'd appreciate it if you wanted to write those.

If you have any artistic inclination or are good at finding other image sources, I'd appreciate a good image for the IG medic armor in the pedia, both in Flak and Carapace - nothing I've found so far really fits the aesthetic for the rest of the pedia.

Hi there! Sure, will do (the part with the text)! Could you please attach the said files in the thread "Text and lore"?

Regarding the images, I'm afraid I cannot do much, but maybe I'll get lucky with Google.

Hello, everyone!

As promised (to ohartenstein23 on mod.io), please see attached a revised version of the text used in the game (basically, I used notepad++ to edit the text).

Bear in mind that English is not my native language, but this version should be slightly better than the original. If anyone wants to give the text another brush of editing, it would be better to use this file. Unfortunately, my poor computer skills prevented me from installing a notepad+++ track changes tool.

Fabulous mod! Thanks to all of you guys involved in this amazing work.

Please allow me to share some of my thoughts after playing for about 3-4 hours or so (Openxcom Extended +). Be advised, I'm a total noob:

1. The assault bike crashed the game to desktop (Resources/Bike.PNG. Couldn't open etc.)
2. It's not always obvious which units are unlocked after the research is complete.
3. Why can't I not equip the craft's third weapon slot?
4. The Battle Sisters seem rather underwhelming compared to the Space Marines.
5. Using Guardsmen seems a bit pointless once you unlock Space Marines, doesn't it? (it may be just a difference in taste).

Is there any way I can help with the project? I have absolutely no skills at programming, but I'm decent at editing text.

Dear Meridian,

Can you please teach me/us how to "steal" some mods from the truly amazing megamods out there? For example, I would just like sniper rifles addes to the vanilla, or maybe a gym.

Thank you for your patience and dedication!

For example, I did manage to find this mod https://www.dropbox.com/s/0so54cahfjkky2d/XCOM2Music.zip?dl=0. Sadly, I could not get it to work in oxce+.
