  1. I tried this with the Steam CE and did what silencer said. The only thing I did not notice is the color bars are still green but all the other works fine that I can tell.

    If you are using XCE, delete internal folder. It contains all the copies of scripts. The game will recreate with fresh ones and you should have right colours.

  2. Oh wait I forgot I've changed appdata folder I thought I didn't because of some errors and I looked at the wrong one, which was empty.

    And it looks like I have question to kabill, what FitH is doing in this log?

    It's back to the ol' drawing board for me then.

  3. So in AIProps I have added new alien rank type. In UfoContents I've made that UFO uses only this alien rank. The game however uses default load out from the XCE. IF I change the UFO content to already existing aliens, in mission correct aliens are generated.

    Example I have added this to AIProps

         <Rank type="GuardLight">     <Props APs="50" Resilience="60" Strength="60" Accuracy="60" Reflexes="55" Bravery="50" />    <Decision MinimumAccuracy = "0.40"	EngagementRange = "25.0" />     <Armour kinetic="0" energy="0" chemical="0" incendiary="0" />     <Items killed="Items.CaesanGuardCorpse" stunned="Items.CaesanGuard" />     <BloodHitSprite name="particles/hit_alienblood/hit_alienblood" />     <Equipments>       <Equipment>         <PrimaryWeapon name="weapon.AlienPlasmaPistol" />         <Belt>           <Item name="ammo.alienplasmacell" />         </Belt>       </Equipment>     </Equipments>   </Rank>

    and this to for example light scout.

    Caesan_GuardLight_Aggressive											10	10	10	10						
    [/Code]

    I've made in units\aliens\caesan\ another folder to have proper sprites for the alien.

    After starting new game, I've got the standard aliens instead of what I have assigned. If I replace GuardLight with Elite in Ufocontents, elites are spawned in next UFO that gets created.

  4. Yes, in TFTD there was 10% resistance and I thought EU had too, guess TFTD was more advanced.

    Obviously you must be lucky that 1 shot kill hasn't got to you. And there is quite a margin between 1 shot kill and being invulnerable.

  5. I found another issue with balconies. When using rockets for example on the upper floor or at least it detonates in near vicinity of balcony. The soldiers on lower floor will get hit by explosion. Don't know if should be addressed in XCE or your mod tough.

    In this image I have "planted" a rocket between those two tiles on fire. The soldiers that were beneath, face hugging the wall that separates teleporter room with cargo room, where hit by explosion.

    Same applies to balcony in Carrier.

  6. However I don't want my soldiers to become invincible, since that would remove any tension. However being able to at least tank a single shot or two should be a given for the most expensive, and powerful, armour in the game.

    And that is my point too.

  7. Max damage off of a plasma rifle was 160 so a soldier in a Flying Suit was still at risk of being one-shot even if they got hit from the front (not very likely mind, but still possible regardless of their HP level since HP capped at 50). And a Heavy Plasma would 1HK anything at least 25% of the time and probably more (depending on the side the soldier's hit from and their HP; get hit from the rear and it's more like 40-50%).

    Flying suit had resistance towards plasmas - I don't know how much but I think plasmas did 80% of their normal damage. The HP of soldiers capped at 60 not 50.

    Personally, I'm happy with the risk of being 1-shot. I don't like being in a situation where I know my soldiers definitely can't be killed, since it takes the tension out of the game for me.

    Being 1-shot killed is not fun, anyone will tell you that. And I am not suggesting that soldiers should be immortal gods once reached certain level of plating.

    Also my point is that aliens can 1-shot kill you - you can't 1-shot kill them in respective manner.

  8. However, aliens can do it a little easier since the throw cost for alien grenades is only 45% rather than 50% (and I suspect they don't suffer any costs for quick-item using)

    And that is the point.

    Generally, the progression of alien weapons in the game produces a similar outcome to the OG in the end whereby armour is no guarantee of protection, even though it is actually helping.

    In OG Flying suit gave you guaranteed protection to plasma rifle which is used in all the parts of the game. Only super critical might wound you. The Heavy Plasma had to score above average damage to wound you and high critical to kill you. In TFTD the randomness was reduced to 50-150% just like in Xenos, however Ion Armour was impenetrable from the front to Sonic Cannon. And Apocalypse is another cup of tea, where Disruptor Armour allowed you to withstand few Disentigrator Cannons shot or dimensional missiles (not counting personal shields).

    In my terminology - armour is suppose to allow soldiers to survive few shots and not be waste of resources that depend majorly on luck.

  9. Yeah and I have returned values from before double nerf Chris gave (lower values and degradation). It roughly increases survivablity by 20%. Not much.

    Praetor Gun 120 60 110 + 50-170

    Your average Joe has about 60-80HP, and you must be really stupid to hire soldier with less than 50HP anyway. It means that no armour can save you from Preator, while he can laugh at Mag Rifles. And when you are playing on insane, amour could not exist, since I saw alien precision do 80 dmg.
