Been away for long and Ho-ly!.. nice, i have to admit i had real issues what kind of ship i would make to transport troops, but that looks nice! ... i was orginally planning to go with Arvus Lighter eg. https://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp115/Ash-2-photos/Imperial/Arvus%20Lighter/Arvus2240.jpg as its smaller and would be easier to make to xcom, but that Thunderhawk looks great. ill post it on to front thread and give credits.
Also nice to hear ramblings about license issues, i myself also have gone to the way, that this is free mod and for everyone to modify for their liking. i hopefully think that there wouldnt be any issues with anything as long as i dont make any profit of this, its just love for wh40k universe... inb4 i start changing names to Space Grunts and Bülterguns soon
As for progress, its quite stalled for now. i have very little time to work on this, currently working irl.. gotta get living and so on. Not saying that iv completely stopped, i do some stuff here and there when i have inspiration and free time. Propably will continue after christmas when my current job ceases (or continues who knows)
Prolly "major" thing is that heavy weapons will be now Shoulder mounted as in pre-heresy times. (1st Codex baby!) since i cant really fit heavy weapons "nicely" enough to the sprites (as you may seen using heavy bolter when shooting, half of the sprite disappears, and is quite messy) see below image for inventory screen. yay or nay to shoulder mounted? ...expect lascannons ,meltas, rockets to be this kind also...
Also, should weapons be classic red colored to stand more out of the marine?

Arthanor: im surely open for ideas for rules and your post sounded quite good. still for now im doing the art work first, then hitting for the rules afterwards. Not quite sure of PDF, even it sounds good. this wont be EXACTLY same as in wh40k universe ( i mean women arent allowed to use Space marine suits, since their body cant handle that, in wh40k universe... but in openxcom, well i cant change the rules basically ) im still prolly going for:
tier 0 = flak armor
tier 1 = (first one who get promoted to squaddie) = Squad leader with Flak armor
tier 1 = (Second and later ones who get promoted into squaddie) = Carapace armor + Tier 1 weapons (slightly better?)
tier 2 = (first one who get promoted to sergeant -> Squad leader scout armor)
tier 2 = (second and later ones who gets promoted int serg -> Scout armor)
....
....
and so on. Still in VERY conceptual state. This needs some roleplaying elements to follow tho (maybe including a PDF how to play this "roleplay").
new civ: Ultratier will be prolly be ultramarine captain class, with its own unique bolter and relics (for reference https://bhvr-ec-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/lw6ojctns2obe/source.png ). i really do want to make terminator class, as i thought first, BUT im allready pushing the sprite limits (pixel grid size?) with the space marine armor. Terminator should be made in 2x2 sized grid as the Xcom tank, to look beefy enough, and thats quite task to make .. only saying, maybe maybe :3
Solarius Scorch: other codexes could be made (eg. blood ravens, space wulfs) ... i was thinking of making DIY sprites of dolls and battlescape armor, where there is no unique patterns from other codexes, plain armor without fancy signs and such. Basically a gray armor and modders can recolor/draw themselfs with their own liked codex.
...and now something completely diffrend. Sorry for lack of updates, damn GOG release of Chaos gate and specially the final liberation have consumed me utterly to replay those classics ...and that made me thing of what would it look like to have EpicWh40k in openxcom... (note rhino is photosopped in, marines are actually working)

hello again, came here to answer some questions..
.... if i would make from mk 1 to 7 armors, it would prolly kill me mentally. Not that it would be hard to make in battlesprite (by changing the torsos) but also making all the new dolls for every armor. Then to have all diffrend rules for every armor to stand out somehow each other. its a good viewpoint tho and nice idea, but how it would be implented ingame, thats a bit hard.
.. i might need testers, ill pm if i need later on.
And now for the other things. Prolly going to change weapon colors to classical red look (since now they are quite much blending in battlescape view ,into the armor) so it would stand out a bit. gray,red,yellow.... guess ill leave the orginal blue as a optional color to choose from.
Also the krak grenade is a "anti-armour" grenade as i looked afterwards... so it will be graphically changed , and current graphics are changed to "frag-grenade" wich is anti infantry grenade.. So how the krak grenade should work? 2x2 grid small explosion and huge power? ... looking to that later on..
Now i had blackout, i really had something more to discuss but now i dont remember anymore, oh well... ill drop by later
cheers! and thanks for the feedback. sorry for awful truckdriver english.

btw If you want special psi attacks you can try my mod that allow creating it.note taken, thanks.

Another thing is that you could create weapon that shoot explosive shells but don't create big explosions, good for recreating bolter explosive ammo.there is hit animation for that allready? just a small blast when bullet hits target ...or do you mean something else? :p

Does the Codex Astartes support this brother? (Beware the Games Workshop, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird...)..Uhh *cough* GWs Emperur dont support this ... bit afreid of this kinda, im allready thinking of changeing names and doing some sprite rework. BUT thou this should be free commercial for them ...inb4 everything is Galagtic Rangers and Bulters
Quote
Chainswords and flamethrowers plus as much armor as possible seems to be a quicker solution.Oh i wish i could make flamethrowers for this. Code says "nay" for this. (or it could be implented somewhat cheap/fugly way tho..)
Quote
Is there any special way you implemented bolters?nope, bolters work as laser pistols for now ... or are equally powerful. Need to do some research how these weapons would work (could need a little help around on this)
Quote
After testing this mod against some hapless Sectoids, I can say that a major overhaul is needed.True, ruleset has been thrown quickly together, so it is still in babyshoes. Still tho, i quite easily defeated mutons in one fight
Quote
As a test mod, everything seems to be working fine, besides the game crashing when using Krak grenades.it seemed to work well for me, can you be more specific on this? .. what version of ocx and is it windows or linux side? .. exact point when the crash happens. can you hear the explosion sound or does the explosion animation even start. ill try to figure this out somehow
Quote
IMHO, the armors should start at the Mk I Thunder pattern.man ,your killing me

I think that the game should start with Guardsmen with Autoguns as the X-COM agents before researching 'Gene-Seed'.Plausible! it would be nice to have first guardsmen and then researched towards to marines. Again, making guardsmen takes time and effort to make sprites all over again. prolly would be easy to start from combat armor sprites and editing it towards to guardsmen look-a-like. This mod is still in "scetching" state so yeah, it could be done.
Quote
Is it possible to use soldiers as manufacturing materials?it can be done, but if the soldiers would be manuafactured by engineers, they would all have the same stats (ega. like tanks are in XCOM with same stats) .. i dont know if its plausible to have random stats for manufactured products. This is a question more like ocx devs to answer , they'll know prolly much of this than me.
Quote
If you need any info about the Warhammer 40k universe or a beta tester for this mod, just PM me.For now i would need help at the rules on everything... like how much protection armor offers (currently its the same as powersuit in OCX) how powerful the weapons should be in OCX ,how much ammo they can carry, weights, etc etc. good Ufopedia.orgrmation text for each item (now they are just taken from wiki) ... stuffs like these i need help, i can fix things in graphical side myself

You could try one dumb trick... in ruleset its named as ShotgunAmmo2.gif ...now go into X:\OpenXcom\data\Resources\GunsNGadgets_1\Shotgun folder and you see there image named as Shotgunammo2.gif (the letter "a" in ammo word is small font). Change that Shotgunammo2.gif to ShotgunAmmo2.gif with big A letter and report me what happens ... that might be something wich messes up things.

Work In Progress / Re: [ARMOR] Gas-mask equipment
« on: July 12, 2014, 08:26:58 pm »
guess not :p ... i was thinking something like having a slightly limited sight when you use gasmask, but blargh, afterwards it sounded quite stupid. Battledrugs would be a fun addition to this, if person gets panicked, gasmask canister would provide relaxants to breath and thus calm down.. or even berserk like toxin, go full mad but reduces health... but those would be hard to make i think.

Work In Progress / [ARMOR] Gas-mask equipment
« on: July 12, 2014, 03:59:13 pm »
Gas-Mask mod
Everything else works well (inventory, purchasing, ufopedia) except the battlescape sprites. Somehow it just get messed up everytime i try to config it (e.g gets Black boxes, white lines or just looks something like mutilated mutant)
Purpose of this mod was kind of a minor, able to fight in smoke without inhaling smoke all the time as some players seems to love fighting in smoke.
inspiration for this was definatly Emans playtrough videos https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=2460.0 ,loved his playtrough from the start when they first appeared to youtube
So yup, here it is.
edit: Works well now, big thanks for falko helping out @ irc

did the 1.0 version work on linux? Linux is somewhat grey area for me (i really suck at coding things)...
i only can assume its it has something to do with image formats i guess?
Can you tell me what mods works for you in linux so i can chek out those mods what they have that i dont.

« on: June 30, 2014, 08:58:28 pm »oh man, i totally forgot flechette was possible now, it can finally work exactly as intended!Yup it works quite fine for me, orginally i added 24 pellets flying out of it, but it crashed. then 20 -> crash, then 18 -> worked fine... soon after i added new shooting sound (shotgun like), well it crashed again ;P ... now its into 15 pellets and without new sound, so i guess openxcom handles atleast that amount of pellets
Dear Ryskeliini, First thanks for this amazing mod bundle. I found one tiny minor gliche with it. see below.I added your mod about mid january in a campaign. Maybe this little glitch wouldn't happen if starting a campaign with it ready installed.
Thank you.
You propably have Grenade Launcher mod activated. This Pack has the same grenade launcher with the same code, some slight changes only ,so that might cause crashing/mixup. This pack also uses partly the same code as the Shotgun mod has so THAT also can cause trouble also. Other than that, this should work flawlessly *cough*Fix should be simple, just deactivate Grenadelauncher mod and shotgun mod for a while when you use this mod.
Dear Ryskeliini,
I have found another problem. The game CTDs when one attempts to tranfer the medical drone from stores onto the Skyranger.
i thought i added line "droid/DONTBUY" for that medical droid... simply, just dont use it yet before i fix it for 1.1 version.

working on it. ↑
ill update the graphics of the inventory weapons for more appealing to todays standards and also adding some functions to weapons such as "melee hit" and new ammunition. Oh and the diff. languages too.
ALSO, ill be merging the grenade launcher and shotgun to this package. (shotgun still needs slight graphical touch) + Adding new weapon(s) and sounds.
It'll hopefully appear in openxcom.com modsite somewhere around this week, ill propably release a testing package to experimental forums first to let ppl check out and add ufopedia lang.strings to it if translators are willing to do so. Lets call it "Ryskeliinis Tier-0 Weapon Pack" or something then :p
