[Solved] Mods to work for OpenXCOM Extended
« on: February 24, 2021, 05:44:01 am »
I noticed that not all mods that work for OpenXCOM vanilla I have work for OpenXCOM Extended.

A few examples:
Grenade Launcher
Quick-Draw Inventory Slot
Tranquilizer
Item Levels
Stormhawk Missiles
UFO Extender only Psi-Amp line of fire

I wonder if it's possible for me to make them compatible. And if so, how?

All OXC mods work in OXCE.

If you're not seeing them in the list, they are probably missing metadata.yml file.

Only caveat is that OXCE is more restrictive if mod have bugged data

Is there a wiki or pin'd discussion on all the mod format specifications?  Sorry to ask this if it's already been answered, I've looked all over the form threads and didn't find it.

I found this information,
https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Ruleset_Reference_(OpenXcom),
https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Ruleset_Reference_Nightly_(OpenXcom)

is there any another site that was the api for the openxcom modding format?

I can dig though released mods and sort of reverse engineer the formatting, but was looking form something more complete, both for my own reference but hopefully something that I or others could add to?

For my current specific reason, I want to make a mod that would show up for both xcom1, and x-com-files, but not for tftd,

Example:

I see that x-com-files sets it self as a master:
id: x-com-files
isMaster: true
master: xcom1
reservedSpace: 3

would something like this work for a mod that I'm building?

master: ["x-com-files","xcom1"]

or following basic yaml formatting?

master:
  - x-com-files
  - xcom1

neither seamed to work when testing.

Thanks?
-JC

You can't specify multiple masters.
Only 1 or all.

All can be done like this:

master: "*"
