    XCOM Executable mod with weapon and string editor.

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    I just found this cool mod that lest you change all the text in the game. I can't believe this one slipped by me all this time. You load the exe files into the editor and them edit away. I'm assuming save the patch file into your xcom folder (I assume) and launch xcom with your customised game.

    I'm just playing about trying to get it to work at the moment. For some reason I can't get it to work yet???

    ANY IDEAS??

    I'm just amazed that my character has a reaction score of 60.

    O-o

    Don't worry, we could use this xcom hack to make it a 2.

    Oh yeah also on the battlescape editor part you can edit the aliens to make the UBER ALIENS!!!

    Also it's good cos you can make custom games, make it so all the nations are unhappy with you, or disable funding so you have to rely on selling items instead (XCOM-INDEPENDENT )

    I don't suppose there is a way to edit a game file somewhere and make items appear in your inventory?

    There sure is, and it is dead easy to use too, its a game save hack. I was gonna do a vid on it but I am having major issues with audio. But you will figure it out.

    EU PS1 mp3 music??

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    I am in the process of modding xcom to make some videos but the website xcomufo.com has been taken down. I am wondering if anyone knows a SECURE link to a mp3 download for the ps1 xbox music. I would just go ahead and download some but this time last year I got infected with vistapsyware2012 malware for downloading xcom muisc for modding purposes.I don't much fancy being locked out of my computer again. (No thanks to malware bytes PRO for helping)

    Alternatively, does anyone have the mp3 music they could send over, would be much appreciated :)

    I think all aliens are humanoid due to animation issues and such but I'm not sure. T'would be nice to have amoeba-like alien that splits in two when you "kill it" which, of course, makes things worse so you have to decide when's the best time to start attacking it rather than shoot on sight.

    Mmmm burning them would be the only way to kill without it splitting or something : )

    Anime

    My god, anime looks stunning these days. It's a shame there's no robots fighting each other (and I was under the impression that was mandatory...)

    Long gone are the days of "fist of the north star" and "Devil boy" with their really slow frame animation.

    OMG the other day I watched the street fighter 2 manga film. I remember when I saw it back in the 90' and I was like OMG Chun Li's boobies in the shower. Also lots of swearing, back hen it was rare to hear game characters swearing. I don't actully think I know one game that came out on the NES or SNES that had naughty words in it. Maybe i'm wrong , but nintendo had VERY strict rules to have their games published on their consoles, but would no offensive language have been part of their criteria?

    LOL Remember the drama that kicked of when Game genie came out. They took them to court and everything over that(and lost). They didn't want any developers making games for their consoles unless they had given them the seal of approval. I know a few other games came out that had black cartridges etc. I'm not sure if they took the same route with the SNES TBH

    AI is off??? wow then how did I get my arse haded to me yesterday by of the tall grey alien dudes?? I frightened them out of the craft then they stated killing my men one by one. It came down to a one on one, a duel to the death, two men enter one man leaves. I had followed him into the hanger areas on the desert compound map. My soldier "Hogie McDoogle" Was equipped with a sniper rifle and a Fabergé egg. He tossed the egg over to the alien, hoping it's beauty would distract him long enough for me to pop him with a aimmer..... Hogie fired..........and missed. The alien fired at him with reaction fire and also missed. Hogie the took his chance with a snap shot, as he raised the rifle to aim, I flashed back to his time as a recruit in training and thought to himslef........ "I really should have gone to some of those shooting classes". Needless to say the shot missed by a good 3 meters and the alien took his turn and blasted away until Poor hogie was a mess of blood, sand and plasma. As Hogie faded out into darkness, he saw the alien pick up the Fabergé egg and marvel in it's beauty.

    Aliens can now research Fabergé egg technology.

    The only things that they took away was some gimmicky air combat features and having more than one skyranger. That's about it. Everything else is new. You can't compare the two movement systems because they both have pros and cons.

    The TU system was great for moving and things that had set amounts of TUs, but bad for anything that used TU percentages. Your 80 TU supersoldier could shoot as many shots as your rookie.

    The 2-move system is great for moving and shooting, but doesn't allow you to perform a variety of things with that soldier's turn. There is no counting TUs so that you don't stand right next to an alien and find out that you are 1 TU short of an auto shot. At the same time, you can't hose down an alien with 12 laser pistol shots either.

    And reaction fire was iffy in the OG. It couldn't be used reliably, mainly because it was based on how much you had moved during the turn. You could have a full TU soldier stand next to a doorway, and he could still get zombified/shot because his Reaction score was crap. Whereas in the NG, reaction fire is much more reliable. If an alien moves in front of your soldier, he's not going to drool at him, he's going to use the gun in his hand.

    If anything, the new game had fake choices. Hey a new fighter that... is worse than the firestorm and the avenger at the same time. Hey these are some neato radar dishes that... become obsolete within the first month (assuming you capture a navigator ASAP). Oh look, a rifle... that does almost the same amount of damage as the pistol. Oh look, some small rockets... that do less damage than the almost identical large rockets. I can go on if you want.

    Oh look, plasma weapons... that are all inferior to the heavy plasma.

    Oh look, Multiple item slots for weapons... that you don't want to put weapons in because your soldiers won't even be able to move.

    Oh look, some neato spots for putting grenades... that you can't pull from your belt because you're 1 TU short.

    Oh look, an alien... that is just a slow ass floater who can't fly (snakemen).

    Oh look, Cydonia... which is just a base assault.

    Oh look, craft weapons... that are all inferior to the plasma beam.

    Oh look, Base defence... that was basically farm the aliens.

    Oh look, a motion scanner... that is useless because it can't see more than 9 tiles.

    Oh look, grenades... that are useless because they destroy each other and do wimpy damage (TFTD excluded)

    Oh look, we got some neato flying suits... that only give you a 50% chance of surviving a hit from the aliens.

    Oh look, some base defenses... that don't make the battleships go away.

    Hey man, why so mean to UFOEU?? Sure it had some flaws but it was still an awesome game. You know you can play UFOEU with some really good mods that fix allot of those issues you mentioned there (like the infinite battleship bug) and some great rebalances and more incentive to use laser weapons. You can also change how psyonics work, and also disable blaster launchers. You should have a look at sebs ufo extender. It's really simple to use. You just change the values from a huge list of options in the notepad file and your away. As soon as I sort out my shit I'm gonna do some UFO and TFTD mod and hack showcase vids. I may even start it tonight :)
