Hello!
First of all, thank you for this mod .


Secondly, when I tried activating it, I got a bunch of errors on load (see attached picture). I only have this mod & XCOM files enabled.
Did I do something wrong?

Also...I don't know how to un-enable it in order to get back into the game itself xD. How do I do that?

You're welcome! sorry that it's not running though
Can you check if theres any other unzipped XCFAA versions in your mods folder? and are you on the most recent versions of this and Xcom Files? I unfortunately cannot pinpoint whats wrong on my end since I am running the most recent build like you probably are, I do however have the newest OXCE which is 7.9.11 (I think), however I really dont think that would cause this

[YolosaurusRex]

There are not any other zipped or unzipped XCFAA versions in my mod folder (1st time installing). I did notice that my OXCE is version 7.9.8, so I'll see if that's the problem...

[YolosaurusRex]

Oki-dokes, I checked, and I think the latest version OXCE is 7.9.8; in the game menu it also says (v2023-7-03).

The only other thing I noticed is that, in the mod toggle menu, XCFAA's name is "X-COM Files......(for X-COM Files 2.3)". But I'm using the XCFAA version 0.8.1c, which was the latest available when I downloaded it from the mods.io site. Did I manage to boggle the download? xD

can you check if Lazy Loading is on in your options ? if it is, turn it off and see if that makes the mod run
Update: Found out what was causing it, fixing it

I'm having a problem where, even if I'm using this as the sole submod, there are huge problems with graphics. The most egregious I've found so far is the inventory display for the riot armor, which results in most of the screen being white. In-mission, the armor displays correctly, but then I briefly caught a glimpse of an enemy that became a white square later on, though I wasn't able to capture that because I couldn't find them again.

I am using XCF 3.1 and OXCE 7.9.10.

First time I've ever encountered this that looks horrible!, can you send me a save file just so I can try replicating it on my end?

As for the issue, my guess would be using GIF files, which MacOS (resp. SDL on MacOS) doesn't (fully) support.
I'd recommend using PNGs only.

Second guess would be incorrect transparency palette index, even for PNGs.

I don't think I've ever managed to do that before, whoops. I had that thread up ensure there wasn't some oddity I should mention before posting, didn't realize I was posting in it!

Mmmm it doesn't seem to be visible on my end, now I did recently change some of this in the rulesets rather than the sprites (they're now consistent with the other vanilla XCF armors in that certain armors show the head without helmets like in the second picture) but that shouldn't realistically affect it since that soldier doesn't have an exposed face + it is the exact same sprite as well, also none of the mods you're using would affect it

while I am using .PNG for all the sprites I might have messed up the transparency in some of them (like Meridian said) BUT for some reason they work fine on Windows?? (third picture shows that sprite on the top and vanilla on the bottom, notice the first two colors being on different slots) I am guessing the the white squares you saw as enemies were from this mod so that would confirm it

received this error when attempting to launch the mod:

I've triple checked my versions for everything, and the only other submod active is dark geoscape.

Anything else i can provide to figure this one out?

Think you figured this one out, but lazy loading will help you with it. I need to properly fix it in the next update

Is the Alloy Flare Pistol supposed to take 25000 Engineer hours to make? Seems like a 0 too much, considering something like a full on aircraft (Skymarshal is 9000 hours) takes less time to make
