Pinetree

Try the mod in my sig if you want more names, I can almost guarantee you won't get the same name twice..

My post doesn't count (Yeah, I know I said first post but I didn't think it would be me, also it's my competition and I'll change the rules if I want to ) so we have a winner! thothkins, do you want Iceland?Otherwise pick a country and I'll put it in...

Ahem... Oh , and Israel, Egypt, and South Africa are done.

Extract them to your assets folder, which you'll find in \Steam\steamapps\common\Xenonauts. You might want to back up the originals first. There's a mod folder you can use but it's never worked for me so I use the Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler.

And here's the update for 18.52: http://www.mediafire.com/?c6wbe7iamlevba6

Glad you like it. The next major update is going to include some new nations. So far I've done North & South Korea and Rhodesia (Yep, you guys have convinced me ). I'm planning on adding: Israel, Egypt, China, Sweden, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, and maybe a couple of others. I'll update the mod tonight for 18.51 and then the next update after that will include the new nations. Oh and keep thinking about a new nation to add as I still haven't reached page 5

Didn't think of that, cheers!

Hey all, I've been away for a while. I've started a new job, which is split shifts, and I've had to do a ton of training so haven't had much time to myself. We're still not at page 5 yet but we're close (hint: my forum settings are set to the maximum posts per page). I won't make an update until the Steam version comes out as I've given up on Desura. I also can't afford to download 6 gigs every couple of weeks as we need the bandwidth so the kids can watch cartoons on youtube.

Finally we have some good speed! Managing post attachments is still broken, I've been wanting to delete the attachment from my mod post for ages.

You might want to change the page numbers to post numbers as you can set the number of posts per page in the forum settings so page numbers are relative to each user.

Updated for v18 [old link removed] We're still not at page 5 yet so this is just a normal update.

Calibre or the plugin?

You can. Get Calibre and google the kindle conversion plug-in. I've used it for all my kindle books so I can read them on my mp3 player as simple text files.

Having a single character would be cool. It is possible to get a single character into the game using soldiernames.xml, you could set up a nation with only one first name and one surname. You can have multiple nations with the same name, it's how I get French-Canadians and Canadians into the game, for example. The only problem is it would repeat as soon as that nation is selected again. I'm also pretty sure that the generation chances for a nation can only be whole numbers so even with a chance of "1" there's a fairly good chance it would generate again.

Okay, lets have some fun. Post the nation you want in the next version of the mod and whoever gets the first post on page 5 will win. If it appears to you that the winner is not the first post then please be aware that my forum settings may be different to yours so it is solely from my POV. edit: Oh yeah, the nation has to be one that existed in 1979.

How much time do you give it? I found it can take quite a while to load on my system. If you watch in Task Manager, it will load when it gets to 40,000k or so in memory.

Updated for 17.9 [old link deleted]

Peter Jackson would be cool if he was in a Bad Taste kind of mood, he's getting a bit bloated these days. Otherwise Neill Blomkamp of District 9 fame would fit the bill. For special effects I'd go with WETA as those guys are just plain nuts and are hugely creative. Not that I'm biased or anything.

Good read, enjoyed it quite a bit. I had one "yeah, right" moment when one of the characters pulled a grenade pin out with his teeth. Anyone who's done it for real will know you'd pull your teeth out trying that. Those pins take a lot of twisting and pulling to get out, even if you crimp the pin ends with pliers together beforehand. Another small gripe was that the Russians, when being formal, didn't address each other as "Comrade". e.g. "Yes, Comrade Captain".

Just to update, I did a clean reinstall by deleting the old game folder completely and the game no longer crashes when loading ground combat. I've had 3 ground combats in a row with no problem. One combat I re-directed the Chinook to a new crash-site when it was returning to base and had no problem whatsoever.

It's because I'm a potato.

Hmm, just realised it was the one year anniversary of this mod yesterday and I didn't even notice. Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions to make this mod better!

Matthew, I'm using the standalone.

Updated for 17.6: [old link removed]

Having the same problem, except it doesn't seem to matter if I have iron man on or not. Using the standalone, and I just overwrote the previous version. here's the save from just before it crashes: http://www.mediafire.com/?6bgu88tch1ehx2r
