OpenXcom Modsite Portal [Updated 6.27.14]

[486DX2]

Wanted to do a fresh install of OpenXCom but the modportal has been down for quite a while now. Hope it will come back at some point? I miss playing my favorite game of all time

Are there any mirror sites available that we can use in the meantime? Just need the bare essentials: PSXmusic, Luke's extra UFO and terror missions etc

Cheers!

Website is back online! We have moved the website from DigitialOcean over to dedicated SSD servers! All remaining issues will be resolved soon. Wishing everyone a happy new year!!!

That's fantastic news! Thanks for being so quick about it; I'll be playing XCOM tonight again whoohoo

edit: Appears to be still offline for me?

If you check the history, we've heard "All remaining issues will be resolved soon." already months and months ago... I wouldn't be too optimistic, yet.

EDIT: btw. great nickname, 486DX2 was my first PC 33 MHz with a turbo button for 66 MHz !!  And xcom ran pretty slowly on it until I upgraded from 4 MB RAM to 8 MB RAM... which cost me a fortune

[486DX2]

Ah ok, well I guess I just need to be a bit more patient then

But yes, that's the exact reason for picking this nickname: although I had several other pc's before that (386SX anyone?), I had the most fun with my trusty 486DX2. I don't recall how much RAM I had in there, but luckily I never had any problems with running XCOM. I do remember having to free up as much conventional memory as I could by removing several TSR programs in order to play some games.....

My first time with X-Com was playing on amiga. Of course without HD. So juggling floppies all the time Having it later on PC was so much better

The first time that I played XCom I have an cpu 8086 with 640 Kb of Ram and 10 Mb HDD

My first Computer was a Commodore 64, I got back in 1985 - Google it if you don't know what it is.

First Machine I Played X-com on - Atari 500, No hard drive, Game was on 4 floppy disks, and you had to save to a fifth.

Currently useing Windows 7 Pro on AMD A4-4000 - BIG diffrence.

[Solarius Scorch]

I didn't have a C64, but I often borrowed it.

It gets worse - The first PC I ever used, My dad's ZX Spectrum, DOS only, Programs were stored on Tapes (Like the ones you put in a Walkman) and they took forever to load, and you used the TV as a screen.

I also had Delta (ZX Spectrum), but only borrowed... best computer ever!
But as far as I know, it's not a PC and it didn't have DOS

[Solarius Scorch]

Yes, ZX Spectrum (locally known as The Coffin) was my first too

Got a Problem here.
