I still can't believe version N7 came and went without any Mass Effect references. Missed opportunity.

Hey guys, I wanted to play an older version of XPZ, namely the one right before the weather effects of heat/cold.

It should be 0.99E or 0.99F or something like that.

Does anyone, by chance, have it stored?

As far as I can tell, weather became a thing in 0.99F. I have 0.99E.2, if you want it: link. There's also 0.99E.3 in-between, but sadly I don't have that one.



Edit: You could also just disable the weather in the .rul files, unless there's more things you dislike about modern Piratez.

Hey, thanks alot!

I'm fine with weather effects, I just wanted to play the first version of XPZ I ever walked into again.
I vaguely remembered that the weather effects were introduced in the next release after that one.

Hi, I understand that there a version of xpiratez been released. N9.5.

However, when I download it, the rar is still "Dioxine_XPiratez_N9.0.1.rar"? Is it the N9.5 version?

As don't want to waste my half a day converting the images and updating the source codes and doing testing if there is no new version uploaded. Although was thinking if there's no download for my version, I will cease wasting my time converting the images (and only do it when I want to play xpiratez - although I'm waiting for the final version before replaying)

Thank you and keep up the good work.

Probably it isn't the place to say this, but since I updated to OXCE 7.13.10 (v2024-08-25) (Via Github, and building from source) and to the latest XPiratez, when I press Alt during BattleScape, I can't see the arrow that shows where the units are facing. That, and the option now are called "SAFEWORDS" in GeoScape

Maybe it's an OXCE issue, but I can't really tell.... Thanks!

I'm not too sure about OXCE 7.13.10 but I had encountered in previous version that latest OXCE does not work with xpiratez yet. Maybe after I had updated my source codes and tested out (provided that there is a need to update my source code), then will get back. Thus I only update the codes when the current xpiratez oxce version is later than my updated codes date.

Thank you for the mod, its excelent!

I imagine the miniuguns don´t get overwatch because of balance, or players would move step by step on missions with only them?

Overwatch creep is for rocket launchers. The smoketrail and explosion produces a much more satisfying reaction shot.

The link in the first post points to a previous version. This may confuse some people.

I thought it was a side effect of how they are programmed.

You reaction-fire with the weapon's Snap Shot. Weapons that do not have a Snap Shot mode can't reaction-fire.
