[Solved] Is OXCE compatible with Commendations mod?

[MrFrustrated]

I just reinstall openxcom, thought I'd try OXCE, downloaded it, and I've only downloaded 1 mod, Commendations, and I can't get it to work.

It works fine for openxcom but not oxce.

It could just be some screwup on my pert. Appreciate any help, thanks.

Yes, it is compatible.

[MrFrustrated]

Yes, it is compatible.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

It works in Openxcom. I just grabbed a copy of the file from openxcom and it doesn't work in extended.

BTW, thanks for the responce.

This mod works very well in OXCE 7.1.4!
And therefore works very well with XFiles/From Apoc/...
The probable causes of your problems...
- folder in which you put this Mod!
- content and position of the file "metadata.yml" !
- ...

Personally I installed this Mod (like all the others I use) in "MainFolder"/user/mods !
And the content of the "metadata.yml" file is :
reservedSpace: 1
isMaster: false
master: "xcom1"

Thanks for the responce Blackstaff, love your screen name.

I'm in water deep trying to understand what you wrote.

My computer doesn't have the folder labeled 'mods', instead it goes 'common,' 'standard,' (the sequel game), and 'UFO.' Mods go to 'standard' folder. This is true for both Openxcom and extended.

I don't know what version of Extended I'm using, the place I downloaded it from doesn't have older versions. Ditto for 'Commendations' mod. I could uninstall both openxcom's and then install an older openxcom.

You should never put anything into 'standard' or 'common'.
Those folders are reserved for OpenXcom files, not for mods.

I explicitly disabled loading of mods from the 'standard' folder in OpenXcom Extended ... that's why it doesn't work for you.

All mods belong into the 'mods' folder, which is located in %Documents%/OpenXcom/mods/

Thank you so much, I got it to work.

Again, thank you.

Are you a fan of the "Forgotten Realms" by Ed Greenwood ?

Yes, I am.

Use to read many of the novels back in the 2nd and 3rd edition days.

Loved the Baldur's Gate games and the Elaine Cunningham novels.

Yes and I really like R.A. Salvatore's (Drizzt) stories!
Unfortunately the translation into French of all these stories has been stopped... I am very sad about that! But my collection is 90 translated books.

Sorry to hear about the lost of translation services. I tried reading the Witcher series, story had good ideas but the text was weak. Later a Russian friend told me the Polish and its Russian translation are excellant while the English version was terrible. It made a lot of sense.

I liked Salvatore's earlier stuff. He should have stopped at book 9 of the Drizzt series.

BTW, if like fantasy books, try Elizabeth Moon's series The Deed of Paksenarrion, don't know if its translated into French. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deed_of_Paksenarrion
