6 and 7 look too similar. Maybe have 6 just silver and blue.

maybe make the baton and sabre silver?

My suggestion for ranks 6,7,8 would be to make the wreath gold for 7 and the entire insignia gold for 8. Here's a rough example:

No worries. In fact, I'll put them in next update.

I honestly can't remember. I can't recall if I thought about them or not. It may be because I was only going for the really elite units at the time or I may have just overlooked them.

I've finally downloaded the latest version of the game and I've updated the mod to V22 ex 5 standards. I've included the fixes and additions for Czech, Slovak and Portuguese names. You can download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/u4vp9v0lj5ke674/Xtended_Soldiers_22_5.zip

Awesome, thanks! I can't remember where I got the Portuguese names from but that's funny with the football names, I did something similar with the South Africans as I got most of the Afrikaner names from a list of former Springbok rugby players. Welcome to the forums btw. I'll update the mod with the corrected Czechoslovaks and Portugese when v22 comes out

Thanks for that.I'll add it to the next update..

I am hoping to add soldiers from the sub-continent as it is about the only part I haven't represented. Unfortunately there are no portraits of the right ethnicity yet.

I've just updated the mod to stable release candidate 3 standards as it has added to strings.xml. I've also incorporated llunak's changes to the Czech names. This will be the last update this year so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! http://www.mediafire.com/download/1c1lce1w09h7j0d/Xtended%20Soldiers_20_stable_rc3.zip

Yes, I've used it in the mod to differentiate between english Canadians and french Canadians,english South Africans and Afrikaners, Russians and Ukranians, and the three main Swiss ethnic groupings. possibly, but you could also let him know as well. He's very receptive when it comes to errors.

Also, If you want Slovaks in there, feel free to send me a list of names and I'll add them in as another Czechoslovakian nation.

Thanks a lot for the corrections, they'll be in the next update. It's great getting native speakers to check over their own countries as I'm never too sure if I've got it right. IIRC, as it was over a year ago I did the Czechs, I got the Czech surnames from here: http://tekeli.li/onomastikon/ (which I corrected for gender) wikipedia, and a couple of others. I merged them using a spreadsheet, which is why there are duplicates, but kept them for the reason you surmised. I then used some replacement algorithms in calc to convert the names to female gender so I'm not surprised if there are errors in there. I get most first names from baby name sites. There a lot of atypical names in there, esp. in the nations with a high chance of being generated, but my feeling is having all common names makes the soldiers seem very generic. This mod is all about flavour. I don't have that many atypical names in the nations which are a low chance.

Hopefully they don't have an over-zealous moderator like they did at their last version of the forums. That guy killed them pretty quickly.

New update is here: Xtended Soldiers_20.zip Should be ok for the V19 stable, if anyone runs into issues, please let me know. I've added a few new nations since the last update, here's a list of the new ones: Nigeria Kenya Morocco Philippines Indonesia Mexico Thailand Chile Argentina Austria Switzerland Yugoslavia Malaysia Enjoy!!

Austria, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Malaysia and Indonesia are now in.

What sold me was the . Even then the game had awesomeness written all over it.

I think my first time was on V7, there was only one industrial map and the Evil Alien Shed. The game's gone leaps and bounds since then.

Chris is happy with what they've got so I'm going to release it here soon. I may as well add some more nations so I'll add Austria, Yugoslavia and Switzerland next. I'm thinking I might also add Mexico, Indonesia, Malaysia, and maybe another couple of African nations as well.

Argentina and Chile are now in.

*blows dust of the thread* Haven't been in here for a while I've found some time this weekend to update to V20 standards. I've added Nigeria and Kenya and I've also made sure that all names, regiment names, and experiences fit into the new UI. Thothkins will be happy to know that Iceland is still in I've sent Chris a message to see if he wants to directly port it into the game otherwise I'll just release it here. stay tuned.

Disregard. I was trying to use Xenonaut-1 etc. with new rank images and found if I named the new rank image "Xenonaut-1.png" instead of keeping "Corporal.png" it would display.

I've noticed you've got two lots of regiment and experience data in the file. The first lot are placed alphabetically and are the "old" regiments and experiences. The second lot are near the end of the file and are the new regiments and experiences from my old mod that you guys have incorporated into the game. A few of them share the same variable name so it would pay to delete the old ones.

I picked up Shadowrun returns for $11.99. Enjoying it so far, oodles of atmosphere.

I've been playing around again and come up with a new rank insignia. This is inspired from the Main menu image of the 3 Xenonauts, I've attempted to make the ranks resemble the insignia on their collars: Download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/nbzenrhzo5s8bh2/new_rank_images.zip
