Sorry for a late response and thank you. I'll take a look at it.

Greetings, commanders. Recently I've bought a tablet with Win8 and I was happy, when I found out I can play Xenonauts on it. But unfortunately, soon I found out, that it is impossible to open ESC menu without keyboard. Since I have no skills to create a mod, I hope someone will help me by creating one, which adds a button to geoscape UI and combat UI, which will open main menu. Or, maybe there is one already?

CRT could be used for alien activity instead of hidden movement.

Not good enough against shotgunner Sebillian. Two shots - two kills. The problem is not with timer. The problem is to get out of cover, set the bomb and run back.

Ideas are good, most of them, but all of them just can't be applied to this game. All this changes will be balance breaking and maybe game concept breaking. They would suit well for some new tactic game maybe, but you just can't suddenly change the released game like that.

That's weird But whatever, I'll keep this in mind. I can't flash through closed door. And smoke doesn't help against Sebilians, since they are immune to smoke penalty. It was what I was always doing, but when there is a wall or the edge of the map near the UFO entrance, there is no way to place heavy or sniper at safe distance. And AI is too clever not to shoot these guys first I'll take this in mind. I was using C4's but it takes so damn much TUs, so it's hard sometimes to place it and stay in safety. Sorry, how does stun grenades help in these situations? I am not from US. I can't answer, when I am sleeping, sorry

During the game (insane no iron man) I found two situations, in which I constantly fail. I won't mention air combats, it's another topic and I can deal with them with just auto-resolve. But I just can't avoid clearing UFO. The problem starts when I am starting my preparations to get inside, especially if it is impossible to leave heavy or sniper on a safe distance and blow the door, while your guys get closer with their shotguns (due to reaction modifiers heavy and snipers just can't shoot before enemy and die). When I move my soldiers to the door with enough points to fire with shotguns, some clever alien just open a door (I just wonder if there can be reaction fire on opening the door, because I like never had) and starts shooting aiming my heavy weapons guy and someone else, only after that reaction fire follows, and then his mates from behind add some more damage. Then inside there are more doors to screw my plans. Shield doesn't work, if you are scouting inside UFO - when you move into another room, some sneaky bastard shoot him from the side and you just can't prevent it anyhow. So, guys, I would like to hear some piece of advice from you. What I do wrong? How do I clear UFO from those cheating campers?

thank you, Gauddlike

Is there the file, where I can just set music volume to 0 without touching option menu? Just file with settings values.

Since no fix and no reply, I'll bump the thread. Just was going to start new topic, but I found this one. Don't understand me wrong, soundtrack is cool (especially air combat one), but I really would like to play with my own playlist without backgroung music

I see... But would you try to connect the loss of Antarctica with a plot. I don't know, something like aliens using a huge vacuum-cleaner-like-thing to deal with people of Earth fast, starting from the South Pole, but with the sacrifice of brave penguins, who will never be forgotten, the machine of doom is out of order and can't be fixed in space. Well, you have a better and more healthy imagination, I'll leave it to you.

Maybe I am missing something, but where is Antarctica? Why there is no Antarctica on a map?
