[TFTD] USO mods and some Resources (Update September, 15th)

[new_civilian]

Then some gameplay mods

-One mod that makes the Lifts of the Lockheed mod transporter behave like the rest of the TFTD lifts
-Another one which makes hte TFTD lifts behave like in UFO
-One more which makes the opposite for UFO:EU doors



######################################



An experimental mod that makes TFTD lift tiles behave like the ones in UFO: You can now see and shoot through lift tiles. This makes the game harder as you can no longer simply block a lift by standing on it. But it also allows you to shoot at blocking enemies, so....

Feel free to use these files in any way you see fit.

This mods adds an abandoned research facility area to the Island Terror mission selection. I made this as I was tired of ALWAYS having the same 2 terrains to fight ground missions on... :-)

About the terrain:
It's basically the Underwater Research facility on land, that means minus the sand, the bubbles, and the water of course.

I like the idea,
and I recognize that in these moment you're the only modder of MAP for Open TFTD
but I my little opinion,
aesthetically not work ... ehm

I think that research facilty could fit better with polar or mountain terrain

and as guidelines only,
let me tell you to remember the Ufo2k Normandy terrain that
perhaps could be adapted for TFTD.

An other chance could be alternate Alien artifact site with XOps's Temple

In any case, thanks for your efforts

Nice ones, I'm going to try some of these out in my next playthrough

You know you've been playing too much XPirateZ when you look at this image and immediately start IDing a "Trader's Guild Pogrom" mission.

A quick update on the Gravlift mod for users that have the Grunge-USO mod installed, it adds edited maps for those USOs, the original maps had a "cover" plate over those lifts.

[new_civilian]

Here some more mod"lets" 

-One which changes the Gauss weapon inventory icons a bit
-One which adds a enemy race

*** updated, Gauss now with Ufopedia pics

no problem, I know the terrain isn't perfect, it was a rather crude conversion , but  i was SOOOO tired of the Island terror missions.....   

I saw the maps you wrote about, but I think if I do something in that direction i will make it all by myself and do something new. But atm I am so busy with all the smaller mods^ and actually playing, so don't hold your breath. 

ivandogovich, I never got that far in Piratez

Here something for all you tired of the port terrain:

THE UFO TERROR CITY IN TFTD !!!

This mod adds the XCOM-UFO City Terror Terrain to the XCOM-TFTD Port Attack missions. The maps are from me (civilian), hellrazor and luke83, the mod itself is from me.
I had to take some shortcuts to make the Terrain possible in TFTD, so there are no roads atm and the graphics look a bit different, but the mod is perfectly playable.

Fell free to use my files in anyway you see fit, but please give credit to hellrazor and/or Luke83 when using their maps.

have fun and use those files in any way you see fit!

[new_civilian]

No replies about the Terrain above^???

Oh well. 

Anyway, here some more terrains, mods and resources

1. A green Ion Armor with Inventory screens
2. A 2-waypont weapon called seeker with ruleset, it works as is for the user, but sadly the AI can't use them....
3. 2 new Alien Artifact terrains!

I think that the lukewarm reception of your proposal about  urban terrain depends on it is much used.

Oh well whatever. 

It seems XCom 2 draws away many users these days...

Actually, I suspect that most people are busy playing XCom:EU mods (XPiratez and some FMP/Redux) and not playing much TftD, especially modded.

I really like the research facility terrain you have, although I feel like it would be better being an underwater mission representing a science base that has been overwhelmed by aliens. Spawn a few dead civilian corpses, a few zombies in the alien deployment, maybe some civilians in a light diving suit getting murdered, maybe a landed USO and you have a cool underwater terror mission!

As to the above water city terrain, I feel like TftD's urban terrors were always its weakest part. EU feels much better with the urban stuff. TftD does better under water, in boats (those are painful, but very characterful) and least bad in ports where there is at least some water/nautical element. Unless it is for a hybrid game, I feel like more urban terrain isn't really adding much in keeping with the water character of the game.

[davide]

The terrain really necessary in  TFTD is something near to that:

[new_civilian]

Yes that's a very good idea!

Here something tiny I made: A mod that adds a landed Scout USO on an cargoship variant, meaning it does not replace the originalm, but adds a second one (with aforementioned USO)

Arthanor, davide, thanks for your input, I will see what I can do, but I am not an "Artist"-Modder, more like a worker-modder-player-somthing....

I can't get the city terrain to work. Openxcom just crashes, giving out a log, what looks like the important part is here:

[14-04-2016 12:21:43]   [INFO]   Bad node in RMP file: ROUTES/TRITON.RMP Node #2 is outside map boundaries at X:10 Y:9 Z:1. Culling Node.
[14-04-2016 12:21:43]   [FATAL]   A fatal error has occurred: code 0xc0000005

Just upgraded to the latest nightly build in case I was missing something but same thing. I'm guessing it's having trouble placing the Triton down? Has anyone else had any trouble running it?
