Thought I should try my hand at modding, plus it is good to contribute too, not just download. And I've always liked Personal Armor and I've missed some sort of tier 1.5 armor, so the question of what to mod was easily answered.
I admit I was a bit hesitant to create stat-boosting armor but the suits needed *something* that would make them a viable alternative to Power Suits.
Guess my next mod will have to be stat-decreasing Heavy Personal Armor.
So...
#=================================================================#
Scout Power Armor - OpenXcom MOD
This my first attempt at creating an OpenXCOM mod, so the work is still a little rough.
The concept is armors that utilize Power Suit technology, are less tough than a Power Suit but offer some bonus instead. Basically upgraded Personal Armors that use alien technology to improve mobility too instead of just protection.
The sprites are based on recoloured personal armor, with a very makeshift helmet so I could get the first version finished and test it.
#=================================================================#
INSTALLATION
1.
unzip inside:
OpenXcom\data\
2.
Activate the mod from the "Options" menu, inside the game.
The mod should be compatible with most other mods out there so far.
NOTE: if you've installed the 0.5 version, remove it manually
#=================================================================#
CHANGELOG
0.51
- added the flying variant
- renamed the mod's folder
0.5
- first version, to test the mod and hear people's opinions.
