Alien Class Analysis Mod

What, these sketches?

Unfortunately, the gun is autosold as he leaves the area with it.

Gladly this doesn't apply to the clothes, boots and your motorcycle.

Perhaps that's why they all have to arrive in our time naked. Autoselling survives in the future.

Just a quickie update, the classmod has been updated with correct spelling and a graphics fix for the Caesan noncom.

So this is compatible

Any instructions on installing it?

If the mod tools don't work on the launcher then 1) Backup your files. Specifically xenopedia.xml, strings.xml and researches.xml. Then 2) Copy and paste all files and directories in the zip. The xenopedia directory should merge with the existing xenopedia directory, no problems there as only new art is added. However, you will overwrite the aforementioned three files.

Now I know why the Caesans are so mad and invading. Look at how small his.. probe is. I'd be mad too.

That's an interesting take on why invasions, and presumably other forms of warfare take place. Probe envy.

I guess their 3000+ strong fleet in orbit is also another way of compensating for certain...faults...

In fact, hey, Sathra! could you add this to your Little Mod?

If its okay with you guys, sure.

So you really want me to add this to my mod?

Max Cain is a modder worthy of admiration, for certain.

Sathra, seeing as how this mod and your mod work hand in glove (it identifies the aliens, your mod then kills the aliens), I would be pleased if you did add it to your mod. That way the xenopedia and researches don't get overwritten if someone wants both mods. I will keep a separate class analysis mod on this thread for those people who just want to play vanilla.

Cool. Cool, cool, cool. (Watch too much Community? Never...)

I'll have to add it to the next build (V6) since it will break saves.

It shouldn't break saves... at least when I tried it out it didn't for me. What would make it break saves?

Adding stuff into researches.xml breaks saves alot. I think its adding stuff that should already be researched by the point of the game of the save that does it.

Even if it doesn't, it'd simply be better to start a new game with it so players can get the full benefit.

Hm. Point. Well, the reason I think this didn't break my saves is that it doesn't rely on earlier research predicates.

I'll test it out.

The files won't open in excel for some reason. I can manage though.

Woo! Didn't break saves. Updating now, and did some reformatting so its easier to read.

I knew it! If you make the research predicate dependant on an item rather than other research topics it is far less likely to break saves.

Now i know how to make a save breaker. MhmhmmhmhahahaHAHA!

On the related topic, next art is almost ready. Though Max can decide to hold it over until the second one.

And here's the next one! Ladies and gentlemen presenting....

Link in OP should be the same

This has been updated to work with Experimental V19 Build 2, and it did work with Stable V18 when I tried it out.

Awesome.
