I can't get x-piratez to work.
UFO / TFTD runs fine, but the piratez mod doesn't show up.
i've placed the piratez-files under mods and under mods/piratez ...
could somebody give me a hint?

Please elaborate. How did you put it there, what exactly did you put there, where exactly, etc.

suicicoo, Perhaps this little instruction will help. It was written by me for Android users, so that newbies could quickly figure out how to install these mods. However, since this is a Google translation from Russian, then something may be unclear.
Quote
I will write instructions on how to extract megamodes such as X-Piratez and X-Files, after downloading them. Unlike simpler mods, they come with their own exe-files, which are necessary when running a game on a computer. We have this role performs the installation apk-file OpenXcom Extended for Android.
Therefore, after downloading the archive with the mod should be unpacked. Find the user/mods/ subfolder in the resulting folder, extract the mod itself from it, and move it to the openxcom/mods/ folder, which is used by the Android version. Remaining from unpacking can be removed.
Next, the X-Piratez mod is selected in the same way as switching between UFO and TFTD.
Addition.
Just in case, I will clarify. For the X-Piratez mod, it is NOT the usual OpenXcom for Android, laid out in this topic, but OpenXcom Extended for Android that you can download https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5258.msg78462.html#msg78462

Thank you,

i've installed oxce from the link you provided.
started once to create the folder structure.
let oxce copy the tftd & ufo files.
now i've copied the folder from my xpiratez installation user/mods/piratez to openxcom/mods, now looks like: openxcom/mods/piratez/*.*
do i have to point the oxce-folders to somewhere else?
they are all pointed to /openxcom/
and i can't choose xpiratez as a mod, only ufo & tftd

many thanks in advance for the help!

This is the most correct option settings. All game data is located in the same openxcom folder, in the internal memory of Android, to which the application has access to both read and write files. You can change these settings, but you need to understand what you are doing - there is a risk of failure.
and i can't choose xpiratez as a mod, only ufo & tftd
It’s hard to understand what could have gone wrong. If everything was done according to the instructions (and it looks like it was), then the absence of X-Piratez in the list along with UFO and TFTD can only be explained by the fact that the game was not restarted after moving the piratez folder to openxcom/mods/. OXCE should re-check this folder for mods, and this only happens at startup.
But this is only an assumption, maybe there was some other reason.

As the last resort, stop oxce, edit options.cfg  and set verboseLogging: true  , start oxce, then upload the resulting openxcom.log here.

i'm one step further now, did a new install of oxce on my phone, got xpiratez recognised!
but when stsrting, it takes a while and brings me back to the folder selection screen.
verbose logging shows this error:
[ERROR]   Error linking 'STR_ENVIRO_COLD' in startingConditions: Armor STR_STR_SCOUT_OUTFIT_UC not found
i understood all the other messages in the log, but not this one... :/

It's a bug in piratez.

You can either search for STR_STR_SCOUT_OUTFIT_UC in the ruleset files and replace with STR_SCOUT_OUTFIT_UC... or you can update to a newer version of piratez.

suicicoo, I am well aware of this error, Meridian correctly said how to cope with it.
I'd add that Dioxine at https://openxcom.mod.io/x-piratez hasn't updated its mod for a long time. And the last version of J10 laid out there is with this error. The error was corrected almost immediately, but this fix did not hit the modportal. Therefore, you need to download X-Piratez from where they are constantly updated by the author - https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,3626.msg44450.html#msg44450
Now there is already version J12.

PC version doesn't work either.
(assuming same OXCE version is used)
