[Breaking, destroying, or driving through walls or objects]

A lot of the walls and objects are not visually showing that they are destroyed.

[First mission bug]

The report says a victory will give +5 to Africa, but it actually gives +5 globally.  I am talking about the very first mission at the start of the game.

[Reverting to 1.29B]

1.29C is crashing, but I would like to play.  The previous build goes back to 1.05.  How can I just get back to 1.29B so I can keep playing my save?

[BUG - Percent of female recruits]

On 7/24/2023 at 12:57 AM, Chris said:

Hmmm. The game is actually set to generate fewer female recruits than male ones, but glancing at a new game I'm wondering if this value has somehow got inverted. There does seem to be more women than men. I'll take a look.

EDIT - nah, just looks like random variance. I created four new games which had roughly the right percentages and I think the current one was just an anomaly. The female recruit chance is 25% and you might just be seeing an unusual number of high random rolls.

I have started quite a few games now and I can say that no matter what the percentage is set at, I am consistently getting approx. 30% to 50% females across the board.  The 25%/75% ratio seems like a good distribution, but not sure it is working as intended.  In this case, an option slider would be a great idea. The male to female ratio in a combat game is a very personalized choice for gamers, and the ones that don't care will not be affected.

Having the exact same issue.

 

[Weapon count/inventory bugged?]

I have only made one laser sniper, mg, and rifle, the same for the accelerated weapons.  When I give a soldier one of them, the count goes to 0.  But then when I switch to another soldier, the count goes back to 1, like I have another one and I can equip that one to.  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

[Need option to abort mission on the ground.]

Doing a collect 10 data cleaner mission and it is going badly.  Can not abort mission so it looks like I will have to suicide my whole squad?  Or am I missing something?

 

EDIT: For anyone else that does not know, the abort mission is in the menu after you push ESC.  Maybe they should put this button on the tactical screen?

[Need to turn up the weapon sounds, anyone know how?]

I know I can change the main audio, the sfx audio, and the ambient audio.  But the sfx turns ALL sfx sounds up and the weapon sounds are too low in comparison.  Anyone know what file controls the sound level of the weapons or where it is so I can mod it?

[Anyone interested in playtesting a vehicle mod?]

Awesome. Their are probably a lot of amateur modders like me that just need a little extra help like this to get your ideas and new ones out there. It is good for everybody!

[Anyone interested in playtesting a vehicle mod?]

I am currently using your mod now. Not only will it add more to the game, but since you are making the spectres available others can use them to add their own ideas too. Thanks

[How could we make the aliens fight in groups, instead of one here or there on the map]

Thank you. It is always nice to get quick replies!

[How could we make the aliens fight in groups, instead of one here or there on the map]

When I do ground combat, the only time I fight more than one alien is when I get unlucky and push too far. Back in 1996 their was a game that you could mod and one of the parameters of the ai was to have one unit follow another. In this manner you could have say 2 or 3 aliens stay close together for combat. If a game did it in 1997, then could this game do it too? Or is their another option to make this happen?

[Easiest way to make more options for vehicles?]

I want to not only add a few more weapons to existing vehicles, but use the same sprites as the 3 vanilla vehicles and make upgraded ones with better armor, different colors, etc... I can not find the spectres for the vanilla vehicles and have no clue how to use an unpacker.

What is the easiest way to make a Hunter 2 vehicle that is mostly the same as the original Hunter, but with better armor? I know how to add vehicle weapons and change the values of the weapons and armor for them. But spectres??

[where are the spectres for the vehicles in the game?]

thanks

[where are the spectres for the vehicles in the game?]

cant find them????

[All 4 of the female custom soldier numbers on the kickstarter list use the SAME pic?]

I found all the female names on the kickstarter custom soldier list, but when I want to use 2 or 3 of the numbers of those soldiers in the options, they all use the same female pic???? what gives?

[Added new armor, but have 1 problem, can you help?]

It is not in manufacture file. What do you mean ManTech.??? in what file? I look and try changes in Researches and Manufactures, and Scripts

[Added new armor, but have 1 problem, can you help?]

My armor shows up, I can produce it, I can wear it. In the equip screen the names of my armor all show correct. But in the manufacture screen all I get for the name of my armor is #####. I have it correct in the strings file. Where does the manufacture screen look for the name of the items to produce???

thanks

Also, any way to start with more than 10 soldiers at your beginning base???

What mod makes xeno aircraft destroyed perm?

Why are all the custom female soldier names pointing to the same portrait? custom_01??

[Just some questions for modders and players that may be helpful to everyone.]

1. I would like my best/officer soldiers in diff colored armor. If I wanted to add basic armor in grey (I have the sprites to do it) I would add it to the armour_gc and the armor I guess, and what other files?

2. If I wanted to add a vehicle, use the existing sprites, just re-color them, besides vehicles and vehicles_gc, what other files do I have to add the information to?

3. If I wanted to add an m103 grenade launcher to my m-16s, I can make the pics for it and the grenade ammo, but can more than one ammo be assigned to a weapon, and how if it can? You would not have both ammo in the gun at the same time, you would load and shoot the grenade.

4. Just for my own knowledge and sanity, why would the best soldiers in the world go to even their first missions with NO armor at all, just skimpy clothing? Even if the armor of their time did nothing to energy weapons, it is still a combat zone and it would help agains explosions or friendly fire, or what ever.

5. Can the AI handle the aliens having a ground vehicle to attack you with? And if I added a special alien or vehicle for them, is their a post that I could read to help?

If you know of a post that can help that would be great, as my searches have only produced parts of the info I need.

STILL CAN NOT FIND THE OPTION TO MAKE XENO FIGHTER JETS CRASH PERM! AND NOT GET RECOVERED, ANYONE KNOW WHERE THIS IS?

Thank you...

[Can you change some variables to weapons and weapons_gc with other mods loaded?]

I thought this might be the case, I have steam and it loaded xce and xce settings automatically, and I can not find where the xce package and files are??

NVM, I see them right where they should be, in MODS. Thank you for the help.

[Can you change some variables to weapons and weapons_gc with other mods loaded?]

I have xce, xce settings, and drone strike mod loaded. I am trying to change the assault rifle to 5 round bursts and 30 round clips. The weapons_gc file says the right info for this, but in game it defaults back to the original 3 round burst and 20 round clips.??

Do the mods override my changes?

[Add items to base for testing?]

well I read it, and it does point to the basebuilt.lua , but says nothing about what to do to include items right from the start, tried 10 different ways, started new games, and nothing is different?? How do I change the basebuilt lua so it will change the starting iteams/vehicles?? thanks

[Add items to base for testing?]

I want to test some new weapons and vehicles without going through the entire game as I mod them. How can I give the base starting vehicles and weapons right from the start for testing? thanks

[What is the key for steam to DL betas and such?]

Want to DL Community Expansion Pack, can not remember the key to DL to my Xeno game??? Thanks

[How do I use the mod tools?]

Why do the files come in .php format when the mod tools looks for .zip? And how do I use 3 or more different mods together using the tools?

Does the file name have to stay "attachment" or can you name it what you want?

Need help... thanks
