Re: The X-Com Files - 3.5: Whispers In The Dark

It's not really ready yet. Actually, I'd say it's more of a demo than a full version. I have maybe 80% of things done, hence the 0.8.X number. Still, it's playable and offers a lot of new content already.

My hands itch to start to play anew ... but I'll probably wait when 99% is done
Thank you for the cool game!

Well now it's definitely more complete...

[Dr.Crowley]

Version 0.9.1 has been released!

Geez, I will never complete my walkthrough!
Sadly, there is some truth here - I lost another laptop, so all I have to do now is to use my old "junk pile" notebook with XCF v.0.6.8b (this is where most of my unfinished works are resting, how ironical). Since I cannot properly play Doom online (this "junk pile" does not support even OpenGL 2.0), I guess I will switch back to spending my free time playing OXC and trying to finish the prototypes of USO and Project Xenocide.

Oh, and seeing the Zombies arc finally complete - wow, I really want to see it.

Since many stats of weapons have been moved to a separate page, is it possible to display weapon mass there too?

Is there any hope of this ever being available on MacOS?

It means it's so classified that I'm not even sure if they will be in the game.

You have very intrigued me)
I keep looking at these percentages and postpone the beginning of a new game to wait for a new patch.
And this can turn into an endless process

I know I suck!
The proof: here's a suck question! 
I made medical drones.
But how do we get them on a plane? They don't appear anywhere (crew, equipment)!
Is this possible or are they only useful in the base? 
Tks !

Medical drones are "armor" for AI units (the scout drone).

Also, I screwed up 0.9.2 (of course) by wrecking alien shields... Please replace the files with the ones attached. I will also load a full fixed version in a few minutes, but replacing these three files will be enough.

EDIT: 0.9.2b uploaded. If you haven't downleaded 0.9.2 yet, use it; otherwise you can just get the files attached here.

can you point a nincompoop to method? I tried replacing the contents of my Open Xcom Package to no avail (error is can't run windows based OpenXcomExPlus.exe)

There is a MacOS game engine available for download here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5258.0.html
(I hope it works, I couldn't test it really myself)

Then you can take just the raw mod ("XComFiles" directory) and install it like any other smaller mod... i.e. ignoring the "full package" which is pre-prepared for Windows users.

PS: As a MacOS-noob myself, I can't give you a better/easier method... but good luck... and let us know if it worked for you

PS2: But I can definitely confirm it is possible to run it... I run it from dev environment, with the mod, without any issues... on my MacBook... I just don't know how to prepare a portable installation package for others... the one on the download page was not made by me
