X-Division 0.99 Ideas Discussion

That surely looks like classic flying saucers.

omg my nightmare enemies from long war mod.... not again! awsome.(at least they look like the disk robot too ) , they will be integrated on research etc,?

Asierus? you are alive!!!

You know that at X-Division, if there is something out there, it would be a requirement at least 5 researches!!!

I would love to make them flying like "harridans" (!!!) and make them fire even at air but i think its not possible..

yeah i'm alive and on vacations it's nice to see new enemies coming (nice to know that they don't fly like harridasn shooting and killing my little soldiers too )

Good day, drages

Thank you for your mod. It is very good. Really.

1) Is it possible to give a Vechicles the ability to run down (smash!) a pesky aliens and heavy tanks break through most obstacles? Will be funny and more realistic, i think. You know, like M577APC run. Breaktrough a farm house, or smash some lone tree. Or it is matter of balance and game design?

2)Why i can build from very beginnig a "light vechicle cannon" and a "vechicle cannon", but cannot attach it somewhere? Trying Scout, Adv.Scout, Heavy Tank.. X-Division Ver.0.98.2 HOTFIX 4 + 1.59 + CE 0.31 HF1

p.s. sorry for my bad english

Hey! Thanks!

1- Smashing things is not available with the game engine but with 0.99 heavy vehicles would be able to go over most of the objects including cars..

2- light vehicle cannon is for heavy tank.. cant u use it on that tanks?

my english is worse

1. PRAY THE GODS! At last this wrongparked little red car not stop us anymore.. Hmm. Maybe, where is a cheat - how about to assign to aliens (humans) dolls a MAP OBJECT attribute? MAP OBJECT, that you CAN usually crush with Vehicles. I don't look into this game engine, just think about possibilities...

2. Hmm, "light vehicle cannon is for heavy tank.." okay, but where to put Vehicle Cannon? I thought Light Cannon for Scouts..

3. Speaking of tanks(scouts), how about give them abilities to hurl smoke (light, vapor) bombs? Model of scout even has smoke pipes (like on real battle vehicles)!

4. Noticed discrepancies in ufopedia and new weapons description in squad equip screen. It is known bug? Where to look a true info about new weapons?

5. Medpack. Can it tranquilize and wake up soldiers? Like it was in old good XCOM?

1. It's impossible.

2. If the tank is heavier, its weapon is lighter.. so vehicle canon is for scimitar.

3. Game allows only 1 weapon at vehicle so there is no place for smoke.

4. Believe the weapon descriptions when you over mouse on them..

5. You can wake up units with it just using it on them.

1. Okay i think every second tank modder check it out first .

5. But how about some "mental bar" restoration? It is ever possible? Maybe special "Lucky Strike" medpack?

thx, man!

5- there is some events to rise the moral somehow but it's one of the game part i didnt touch for mod..

Will X-Division support instant grenades?

Will X-Division support instant grenades?

I join issue and how about proximity mines?

Grenade launcher with good ballistic trajectory will be also welcome

IMO, the alien´s grenade obsession makes the game annoying. I simply edited my weapons gc to make them throw them only half the range and make less damage. Also the xenonauts´ reflexes are low.

And yeah, grenades should do instant damage.

The rest... well... I can´t say very much because I use Ajaxial Balance Minimod.

Yes, this is a really disaster.

And the further along the game, the more game crashes at "Alien Turn Screen".

That's what causes serious damage to your patience. I think it is because of the advanced AI scripts. Should you reload, make other moves, and all ok.. until next crash Remember, in XNT were same problems, but far less.

drages, what do you think about this? Maybe i do something wrong? X-DIV v0.98+ X-CE-33-HF1 and maps (Skitso's Map Pack), recommended priority, normal difficulty (yeah, i know, i know, but i dont have much time for a veteran)

I read that you're not happy with how things are with weapon balance.....which is good because I use nothing but sniper rifles and shields/batons:P

I have some experience with balancing weapons and I have some ideas about what I would do to make the other weapons useful. I have a quick question though so I don't spend a ton of time looking around, what files are used for weapon stats? I know about weapons.xml but that doesn't seem to have the mitigation stat unless I am blind?

edit---------

n/m found it in weapons_gc.xml

edit2------

These files don't make sense to me....in weapons_gc.xml weapon.pistol has 30 damage but in weapons.xml is has 20....

Long time passed.. Some real life issues like every modder..

I always said, X-Division 0.99 will be a huge mod, which makes 0.98 a little one. I think i made is far then i can finish maybe but i dont want to give up.. I pushed a bit myself and handled new weapon and armour coding nearly %90.. and there were so many weapons with their versions.. As armour we got now tier-3 armours.. All armour and weapon arts nearly remade and recoded..

Some Examples:

You can check more at this gallery..

Miniguns, katanas, little first aids, battle axes!!!

By the way, i need map editors who can make little edits at default ships.. This mod is getting bigger for one single modder..

Very nice!

very cool I will keep doing my little fixes for now as I play 0.98....don't want to commit to anything more ATM because I have another mod I will be working on once misery 2.2 releases.

I have a few more I will upload later. Will hold off till I am done playing for the day incase I run into anything else. BTW I haven't seen an invis xenomorph for quite a while now.....I may have gotten them all.

Sorry odiz I didn't see earlier posts.

Weapons.xml is only for weapon size and weight mostly. This file is about equipment screen. The stats comes from weaponsgc file.

wow, back from vacations and i saw the images and hotfix 5 :=) Nice work Drages as always.

Hotfix done by our other modders thx to thrm. Welcome back from your vacation. There are many modders out there these days. Check them too!

0.99 goes at full speed.

As a new feature, 0.99 will have their own ufo versions per game phase. Mod will have 4 phases.

At every phase including the 1. one you will have:

- Totally new aliens with totally new weapons and explosives.

- New specialists to get new researches.

- New ufo versions like "Armored Scout", "Missile Corvette" or "Battlecruiser" including "Dreadnought" and Battlecarrier" with the aliens of that phase with ground combat. So you will have every kind of ufos at every phase just much more powerful.. Every ufo dissassemble projects will give you different things to use or research.

- Unique ufos with special aliens, weapons or materials for researches and updates.

- Experimental research system. Did you find an alien weapon? You will get an experimental research and this research will give you something random. Then you will need to get some items more and be ready for next experiment to get new weapons or updates.

- Special terror units will have armour ignore and chemical weapons.

sounds very cool

I have a number more visual fixes which I've not uploaded yet.....before you release 0.99 let me know and I will do so.

Why do you wait 0.99? It's totally new, so your fixes will be only for 0.98.

I figured you could include them all in 0.99......You've redone all the units for 0.99 so anything I do will not matter when you release 0.99?
