Yes, the latest release will work fine on OXCE 6.0.

Hmm, it looks... rather interesting. I'll check when I can, thanks.

The firing sound is from an actual G-11 firing. The wav file was ripped shamelessly from this YouTube video.

Was a great mod when I just found it, still great and even better now, Solarius is doing great job for all us. For now can't wait for version 1.0, would be great opportunity to start a new campaign as I was beaten by the game again. I took too long in destroying human cults and when the invasion began I was stuck with advanced but still improper equipment and a torrent of different missions with increasingly stronger enemies. Must admit, that I love games which can beat me and make adjust my turtlish playstyles.

Sorry, but this sounds like toilet flushing under high pressure. XD

That's why weapon sound effects in games and movies are rarely taken from real life... They don't sound "right".

Many thanks! And good luck next time. (1.0 soon)

Well, that sound is possibly due the very high cycling of the gun when firing in 3-round bursts, plus the echo and supersonic boom.

here is some fence remains that seem to be immune to minigun fire...
LoS but no LoF (which is fine), but that fence just blocks any bullet...

on another note, alien data slates are weird.
i had 10 in store for years, but only now got alien vocabulary to decrypt them.
and suddenly all alien tech is researchable. thats kind of a really tight bottleneck there...


EDIT: just had an idea...
since there´s so much alien tech around biologic enchancement and mind stimulation... how about something like an improved gym? there´s gotta be some tech to make training faster...

EDIT2: another fence
both held 3x10 bullets from minigun... can't force fire through.
should i try alloy ammo for that? >_>

[TheCurse]

and another one. prime example.
this hole in the fence was created by shooting at that guy. LoS and LoF present, no force fire.
But then hole in fence and no LoS anymore. Also force fire won't do sh*t against it...

EDIT: now that i notice it...
mission is a landed large UFO. been landed for more than a day already. but its a ton of hybrids and drones in industrial setting, instead of aliens in an UFO... is that supposed to happen?
weird kinda...

Training is done by soldier type, not by facility.

Sorry, not enough data.

[TheCurse]

Training is done by soldier type, not by facility.

would it be possible to have a global upgrade, like "hey we figured out how to train all soldiers better"?

[Mathel]

Training is done by soldier type, not by facility.

But facility dictates how many soldiers can train at a time. The advanced gym might not train soldiers to a better standard, but it could allow training them on smaller space, allowing more to train at a time.

would it be possible to have a global upgrade, like "hey we figured out how to train all soldiers better"?

As far as I am aware, that would require changing the class of all active and recruitable soldiers, as the maximal trainable values are within the class definition.

Cannot produce/research BlackOps minigun alloy ammo...
I need to find the item first somewhere.
Considering alloy ammo and pretty much all related tech is researched long ago, IMO this shouldn't be this way.
Also probably tough chance some MIB or syndicate will show up with minigun and alloy ammo.
(if they do, oh boy... ^^ )

i believe you need to progress into the syndicate arc to unlock alloy ammo for black ops weapons. i've done a few campaigns now and unfortunately i've never been able to research black ops alloy ammo before lasers. i hope that helps!

[TheCurse]

research tree says it just needs the item.
you probably found one there.
