[OLD] Old OXCE+ discussion thread

[khade]

I guess this could be a good time to ask how well OXCE+ is with the base games, and any requirements for that.

[Starving Poet]

I'm using it in my TFTD playthrough - some of the colors are off, but it otherwise works fine.

I guess this could be a good time to ask how well OXCE+ is with the base games, and any requirements for that.

Although I have never played UFO/TFTD with OXCE+ I can say it should be 99.9% compatible.

The only issues you should encounter are:
- missing translations (both UFO and TFTD), you can add them manually, I posted most of them on the forum
- weird colors sometimes, since the early changes have them hardcoded (in TFTD only)
I'll fix both eventually.
- TFTD ufopedia articles are probably missing new stuff (since they are not shared with UFO)

[Solarius Scorch]

I think an OXCE+ version for vanilla X-Com, not a mod, could become extremely popular. I mean just new versions of rulesets that make use of the new options.

New version is up.

@Solarius: the different prison types should be properly tested... I didn't have enough data/time to test all cases

Is heatVision: 0 the default OXCom behaviour?

[Meridian]

Is heatVision: 0 the default OXCom behaviour?

Yes.

[Moon_Dew]

Aren't these mods and resources already in X-PirateZ by default?

[ohartenstein23]

Yes; this thread is for the version of the OXC executable that Meridian writes with the intention of these features being used by Dioxine in X-Piratez.  It can be used for other mod's or a vanilla game, but most of the new features are implemented for X-Piratez.  The X-Com Files also uses this code too, so you'll find Solarius Scorch often weighing in here too.

I might have missed this from before, but is there a reason why the custom loadouts can't be used during mission briefing?

Probably a bug.

- direct hotkeys work only in base or during briefing, not during mission; same for load GUI
- save GUI works always, i.e. also during mission

EDIT: fixed, will be available in next update

[Starving Poet]

I was messing around with some of the features in TFTD and found that coup de grace causes a crash due to a missing sound file.

[Dioxine]

Afaik it plays melee weapon hitsound, and vanilla UFO & TFTD melee weapons lack any (there's only swing sound), due to flat 100% hit chance. Should work if you mod said sounds in.
