[WIP][MOD][OXCE] From the Apocalypse 0.29.0

[Duke_Falcon]

I really wonder if there is any win32 - XP compatible, non-VM or DosBox - application what enables watch, rip and alter the graphic files, sprites of X-com Apocalypse?

[robin]

There should be a command line tool from Bomb Bloke afaik. Never used it.

More screens, an enemy tank getting obliterated by and alien grenade, during a human warehouse assault.

Amazing job! Bravo, Robin! Would love to see more options from Apoc in OXC, unless you're not able to add anything outside of the X-COM nature. Like going after enemy faction bases in raiding parties, I loved that.

Raids are in. But currently they're implemented in a very limited way: since they're ufos, they score the player negatively as long as they're around. To preserve their optional nature, I had to make them temporary (while in Apocalypse the building is always there). The new TFTD mission options should enable me to set up customized terror sites, and so I should be able to make "corporate building sites", without expiration date (if I can also set that doing the mission scores the player negatively, the implementation should be complete; I have a backup plan in case this isn't possible).

[Mr. Quiet]

Nice, I hope you get that figured out. Love the screenshots!

How much longer? Don't answer that XD

[Gifty]

I'm unspeakably excited about this.

[Mr. Quiet]

Wow, this will really be a new experience.

[Duke_Falcon]

There left only one imperative question:

When could we try this beauty?

I just can not wait!

[Angelus_EV]

you are the man!

[Mr. Quiet]

I can wait, I can wait, I can wait. I gotta keep telling myself that. I know the final release will be the best experience ever and I gotta stop coming over to look at these spoiler pics ><!

The final release.

The final release is faaar away, at least 1 year, likely more.
In fact the "problem" right know is that, despite all the new content, it doesn't make much sense from a player perspective, because off all the stuff still missing. And since the mod is foremost for players, I come to realize, with the playtesting I've been doing lately, that a I have to add a bit more stuff before I can make a meaningful initial release.

[Neo23]

I've waited over 20 years for a real third sequel. Like TFTD was to EU.
Take your time. Your style is exact like the originals and this can
only be awesome. Keep it up!

[Mr. Quiet]

Yep, you're the only one Robin. Our only hope for a nice TC today!!

[Ridаn]

Robin, I noticed new cool smoke graphics on those screenshots. I`d like to ask if it is already implemented and functional?
Would you consider releasing it as a separate mod (or just sharing assets), pretty please?
