Chris Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 First topic to be researched: minibar and dance poles for the transport. Give I've made it clear there were no female soldiers in the game, this conjures up horrible mental images... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I assume you mean the dance poles. I say, if it reduces their stress, let them do what they want. They're going to be dead soon anyways. Besides, the poles double as safety handholds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Ha ha Sathra, are you secretly getting material for the LP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 *shudders* No. Everyone is wearing power armour, and could you imagine Lucy or Dix pole-dancing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectoid Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 excuse me, will there any female civilian running around at the terror site ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokik Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yes, there will be female civilians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectoid Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yes, there will be female civilians. great the hear that, at least this will make the game-world not so "barren". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherdevil Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Excuse me, will there be pole dancers in the terror site? Only requires a few new animations right? I mean it worked in Duke Nukem... *shudders* No. Everyone is wearing power armour, and could you imagine Lucy or Dix pole-dancing? What do you think they're wearing under that armour... Wait, hold on, Dix is a chick!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yeah, I messed up the re-naming. Marren is a guy as well. I assume they're wearing latex body-gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectoid Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 wait for xenonauts make it to gold or platinum, then Chris might consider silently updating our game files with pole-dancing easter egg.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle1990 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 As I understand there will not be any females implemented in the game, but I guess there will be a mod for female soldiers I have started with an all female mod - here are what I made so far: As soon as I figure out how the animation files are build, I will start creating animation too. --O-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amiga4ever Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Animation files will be difficult to change..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If one suspends disbelief for a bit and doesn't stare at the soldier sprites too intensely they might be able to get passed as of as being "unisex". In that case a female mod that only changes portraits and paper dolls might be viable but I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle1990 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) It is not difficult to make the animation - here is an example: From Idle to single-shot, rifle, direction SE, basic armor (looped 5 times) [video=youtube_share;uQ0YuIy-4AA] .The problem is how to replace the pictures in the animation files: Could be like this (It is not correct, need more work) And a screenshot (almost forgot it): --O-- Edited February 4, 2012 by oracle1990 Forgot screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yeah it's really not a difficult process. It is just incredibly time consuming and labour intensive! Nice to see someone getting a start on the modding as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracle1990 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 do still look a wee bit out of place though I installed the game 5 days ago - I have never hear about it before. I think it is good enough consider the time I have used on this game/mod. I also had to eat, sleep, work, be social, watch tv, play this game, play other games and so on... ---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I didn't mean it as criticism, more as motivation. There is a very distinct art style in the game, and I thought it better to point out the way your sprites do stand out, and I tried to put it as inoffensively as I could. but take it as you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynait Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hello, females on battlescape... nah.. let modders do that ... however for the soldier screen via geoscape... should be easy to shoehorn in. basis of females in combat before 1979... In United States Civil war (definitely before 1980's) had females snuck in serving as soldiers. those did, reduced or disguised themselves as males somehow, those caught is simply delegated to camp support of the same unit she sneaked into. I heard a story or two somewhere female somehow did combat during WW-II, not partistans. I have not heard of any female combatants in vietnam or later wars up to 1979, cuz of United States' stringent physical checks and boot camp. So I imagine because of "multiple country" involvement, there might be few... no better to say.. female soldiers is uber-rare, probably one sneaked in under male disguise then discovered. and doubt countries is willing to waste time on diplomacy "telling xenonauts to remove that stubborn lady", just because she did get in and wants to kill those that shot her husband or her babies... I would leave this novel approach on femmes soldiers to modders. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) I'm impressed with how good it looks considering that you seem to use a 3D modeler, while Chris models are 2D (as far as I understands he uses 3D modles in the first step but then has the artist (or rendering program?) draw the sprites based on screencaps of the models?). Is there a simple way to add a black outline to your models to make them look more 2 dimensional? (looking at the screencap that's what strikes me as the largest difference) EDIT: Ryanit I don't think people that want female soldiers really need a reason as to why Xenonauts allow for female soldiers. at least not since it's going to be a mod rather then part of the released game. Thinking up reasons are fun though and I don't see why we (well the modders at least) can't use a reason if someone comes up with a really good one. (So I' dont want you to stop.)

Well, in 1979 there was not a global war against alien. There was no laser weapons (that I know of) or Buzzard , Colossus , Predator or Sentiel armour's. This game is not a historical document My reason to have female soldiers are simple; I am going to spend hours with this game and I have to "play with guys"? I prefer to rest my eyes on a female face (body) when I can - simple as that. In my mod I will use another aproach on armour: In the game the armour is getting bigger. This is an approch that can go for a while, but as reasearch is developing, the armour should become more light weighted and smaller; in example developmen could go like this (from left to right): --O-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
