  1. 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 :P) so we have a winner! thothkins, do you want Iceland?Otherwise pick a country and I'll put it in...

  2. 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 :D). 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 :D

  3. 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. :D

  4. I think it'd be funny if you made, like, one soldier from the smaller countries (or the fictional ones, wherever it may be). That, or just give them a really low chance to pop up, however it works. That way we can still have the hidden easter egg and the "lolz", but not detract from the game at all.

    (That being said, Ocelot from MGS3 would be awesome to put in. That'd make me very happy. Or I could just mod it myself, somehow. I could probably figure it out.)

    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.

  5. 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.

  6. Having problems even launching the game after the latest update. I try to launch via Desura, get the Win7 'Blue Circle' then... nothing. The Xenonauts process still runs in the background. I have killed the process and tried again, no luck. Help please? :)

    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.

  7. 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".
