Just put in lukes extra ufo's.
I will go through YetMoreUFO's package and get some more UFO Maps which i like. :>
So there will be some not vanilla UFO's i don't know how many, but i only had a glance at the maps on mapview, so i will decide later.

Meanwhile, i am testplaying the mod further, so far i didn't run into any more errors.
I invite you to also testplay the mod, and see were it needs balancing. It is intended to be standalone thou.

Current Version avaible here Hardmode_Expansion_v0.6

A Readme, and a Research tree graphic will also be coming, didn't had the time yet.

So folks were closing in on the end :)

Today:
 - Added README.TXT
 - Added CREDITS.TXT
 - Updated this Thread

README.TXT and download of current Version (v 0.6) is avaible HERE

What is still missing so far:
 - Research Tree Graphic
 - More translations (only en-US, en-GB full support, several other only partly)
 - Some more UFO Maps from YetMoreUFO's Mod.
 - Custom Cydonia Map  - The Pyramid of Pain (To make Cydonai 3 Stages instead of 2)
 - A Custom faction (delayed until Mission Scripting is there from OpenXcom)

Also avaible on the Mod Portal Hardmode Expansion

Bout time someone added some real colour to the alloy armor. I was getting tired of the solo blue.

BTW the text of elerium missile should read "compatible" instead of "compatibly"

Also about the plasma shotgun, its a bit confusing but maybe you wanted to type something akin to: ....."revealed that the beams it emmits are weaker due to been diffused the longer the range increases but on the contrary, up close the effect is devastating" or somesuch because the way it is written is a bit garbled :)

Hi the personal armor sprites are from shadics, i just used for my mod (they look great).
Elerium missle string corrected. Thanks :>
Also found type on Explosive Ammo.

The plasmashotgun description is from the original author, chaosshade.
I find it okay, but feel free to propose something different or more specific.

I didnt mean that the discription is bad or to change it. What I meant is that the language grammar and meaning is a bit wrong, hence my proposal (based on what he meant to say) :)

"based on what she meant to say"

Out of curiosity, where'd you hear that the Gazer was intended for vanilla?
