Achievements mod

I know you're on hiatus, but I am glad you're still around to see it take shape! It will be incredibly easy to slip my medals mod back into the game with all these tracked statistics.

Lol more like computer repair hell

Actually things turn to the worse and as computer savvy person i feel like a moron, that little virus seems to have made my BIOS its permanent home :S

Now i am hoping to flash the BIOS but somehow it won't allow me to access that feature. anyway if i can't do something in the next week or so i think it will be time to buy a new mobo

Back on topic, your mod looks awesome and it will look even better in HD once i get on track   And yes with all the tracked statistics the types of mod that can be added would be amazing of course keeping all organized and clean

Now with the diary implemented, I've written up the code necessary to define medals via ruleset! I just need to write the code for more diverse criteria. I am getting there with a lot of help, I am getting there.

Hey,
Looking awesome, and leaving the description vague so that is a guessing game for players
When will we have the first beta or alpha or anything

[Shoes]

All I have left is writing up some stat fetching functions, but I suppose I could try and put out what I have so far.

Also, you like the vagueness? I was thinking of adding a progress bar or something to see how many more "whatevers" was needed for the medal.

[xracer]

yes i prefer vagueness, i know players will figure out the values really and post them all over the place, but to be on the edge thinking "will i get it this time or this time or this time" it gives it a little tension

but it is all a matter of taste

[Shoes]

not to mention it will be defined in the ruleset, so they can easily go and look at it if they really need to know ;p

Took me way too long to figure out how palettes work (helps when you're looking at the correct palette).

Colors are sort of ugly. Having a hard time finding a color that fits for what I want to do.

Looking really nice, will this be part of the debriefing screen?

[Shoes]

That's right After promotions, this screen pops up.

It looks so cool. Please, let us have this mod ASAP

I updated my thread here https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,1718.msg16811.html#new ; the diary mod will also contain the first hints of my achievement mods too.

I am starting to add little sprites

Those are looking amazing, and they will work perfectly for my fork if you click on them can you get a few stats and the medal sprite?

something like this

Clicking on a medal can bring up a window showing various stats, including a larger picture. It could be something as simple as what you have: a list of dates with a larger sprite, or a progress bar if I wanted to.

Dates of commendations are currently not tracked at the moment, so that will take some tinkering.

Also, do you have a list/album of medals like the one you pictured? That would make creating a full medal + ribbon easier than what I am doing now. I only have an album of ribbons and I would need to create the medal from scratch.
