[Build V18.51 Released!]

Yeah, as far as I can tell their sight range is set somewhere else, and its at 20.

Anyone know the file in which this is configured?

[[V18.5 - Air Combat] Foxtrot cannot perform Evasion (can't click button)]

Oooh nooo! I am that guy!

Thanks for clarifying.

[[V18.5 - Air Combat] Foxtrot cannot perform Evasion (can't click button)]

My understanding is that the Foxtrot should be able to perform Evasion like the Condor can, but the button cannot be selected during air combat.

[Steam Early Access Release Date - 31st May]

Congrats on this achievement, Chris et al. Releasing on Steam will no doubt be a HUGE moment for you all. Your success is well deserved -- Xenonauts is well on its way to being a truly great game.

[Community Map Pack]

Awesome stuff, flashman. This is a great way to kick off.

Thanks to everyone who is contributing!

[[v18.51 - Ground Combat] Crash upon reloading a Terror Mission save game]

Playing the first Terror Mission, tried reloading a save game and the game crashes.

This has happened twice now. Both savegame files are available if you want them.

[Community Map Pack]

Great stuff, guys. Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

[Desura install issues]

Release notes for 18.51 indicate both these issues should be fixed, as I understand it.

[It's the Stinky's terrible maps thread.]

Ah! Sorry...I missed the sig link. Thanks!

[It's the Stinky's terrible maps thread.]

Hi Stinky. I tried downloading your maps via the links in the first post, but Media Fire reported that all files were missing. Do you have updated links?

[New custom submaps]

Still, an (un)official maps and submaps compilation could be nice. We could agree on common name classification,for instance modder_tileset_submapName_WxH, and modder_tileset_mapName_ufoType. This would allow players to find and install the files, and it would also greatly help modders to create new maps/submaps. What do you think about it ?

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind. A Community Map Pack. The Company of Heroes community did this well back in the day.

[Build V18.51 Released!]

Awesome! Does this build also reinstate Research so it doesn't disappear?

[New custom submaps]

Hi all. Today's noob question: Is anyone coordinating/compiling all these fantastic maps for easy download and integration with the game?

[V18.5 AI Hotfix 2 (test fix)]

Thanks, Waladil. It didn't work, unfortunately (I started a new game and ran through 'til mid-January 1980, but no one came to my party). I was playing on Basic, though. Maybe it only happens on Veteran?

At any rate, appreciate your help.

[V18.5 AI Hotfix 2 (test fix)]

1. Kind of. It'll be pseudo-random in that there'll always be say, a barn, in a particular spot in that map, but which barn will be random from several possible choices of barn (or something).

The current answer is "pseudo-randomly' date=' but also hand-crafted".[/quote']

I get it. Thanks, guys.

That's actually a very cool approach, especially once the community really comes online. More ku dos to Xenonaut's designers.

Yes, the aliens do attack your base. ... The battle is based on your bases design, so the tactical map is a representation of your geoscape base layout, which is cool.

This is exactly what I was hoping for -- this aspect of original X-COM was, in my opinion, the game at it's very best. Outstanding news that Xenonauts includes this feature. Seriously...you've made my day.

Now off to see if there's a base-attack percentage chance option in the config file that I can set way up!

[V18.5 AI Hotfix 2 (test fix)]

Hi all. New player; first post. Hi.

I've been playing Xenonauts to death since I discovered it yesterday. Great implementation -- surpasses the original, in my opinion (major ku dos) and shows great promise, current teething issues notwithstanding. I've been waiting 20 years for this game.

Significant differences between Hotfix 2 and the Desura build that I was playing yesterday. Much better escalation now; better variety of enemy craft earlier on and the resulting missions seem more varied.

I'll echo the above comment about Research, however; it's completely broken since the previous build, with projects disappearing (seemingly upon mission completion, but perhaps just disappearing instead of completing properly) without crediting you with their completion.

New AI is better, but of course needs further work.

Questions for the designers:

1. Will maps ultimately be pseudo-randomly generated by joining set-pieces (similarly to the way X-COM did it) or will the maps remain hand-crafted as now?

2. Do the aliens ever attack your base in the current build? Haven't seen this yet in my playtesting.

Can't wait for the next build, gents! Keep up the great work!

Cheers!
