Valjohn Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hello I am a marine on leave here in beautiful SC!! I was gifted a new laptop and purchased Xenonauts on Fri.! Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to play my son informed me of mods due to his obsession with minecraft!! I thought I would give it a go I wanted Xenophobia and the random map packs also the Xeno genesis mod, also I downloaded some of the smaller mods like fire in the hole etc.. My issue was I installed Xenophobia started a new game and my soldiers have no weapons... I then added more mods like XCE and now my game wont open... I want help with a listing of mods that I should download and the order download them!! I also don't know how to change the starting funds for Xenophobia I know to use the gameconfig.xml but I cannot find the file anymore?? Please help out a jarhead so he can enjoy some TBS action before returning to the field!! Thank you guys and thanks to all who work so hard for this game. I plan to uninstall and start fresh after getting help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drages Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Welcome to game and forums! Xenophobia is an old mod with tricky issues. Probably your game is broken. Clean uninstall and reinstall the game and carefull which mods needs which versions. Xenophobia already doesn't work with the games newest versions. I advise you to try stable mods, or first just play the vanilla game first. Mods are mostly harder and needs some game experience. You can use steam workshop mods without problems.

Max_Caine Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Xenonauts versions 1.5 and beyond features a "modular mod loader", first pioneered by llunak in the Community Edition of Xenonauts. Provided the mod you want to use is compatible with the mod loader (accessible from "modding tools" in the Xenonauts launcher), then you can easily install and run mods. Xenophobia, in all its variants is unfortunately incompatible with 1.5x and any version of Community Edition. You must specifically have 1.09 or lower - you can check this by looking in the top right hand corner of the Xenonauts launcher and seeing which version you have.

Valjohn Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Ok thanks guys does anyone have a reccomended set of mods to use with the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drages Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I advise you X-Division.. its total conversation and many good mod combined. But its hard, so you need to have xenonauts experience first.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentelin Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) total conversation X-division is more of total overhaul than conversion.What X-division has done and previous mods didn't is various new aliens in form of "specialist ". What this do is that instead of adding whole new race,mod introduce sub-tier ranks of existing races which their own characteristics.Of course xenomorphs (if you played XNT you know what they are if not you will find out soon) are in mod too. There is also couple more interesting approach in mod that no one has taken but I will leave that to you to find out if you decide to try X-division,however bear in mind that mod is hard so it's recommended to play it after you played vanilla. If you heard about XNT and want to give a shot I then recommend playing it with Out of the Sun: geoscape overhaul for XNT for few reasons: One would be that XNT v6 is no longer supported by original devs,therefor it's filled with bugs,balance issue and so on (I am one of devs).This mods tries to address those bugs and balance problems,also it lowers initial difficulty of mod which makes XNT more accessible for casual/mediocre players. Second author of this mod mod has proven to be true fan of original concept and tries to perverse it,making changes only where necessary without compromising original ideas. Third he already had made few useful patches for XNT which fix annoying things,so he knows what he is doing and he is active so you can expect frequent updates and support.

Valjohn Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hey thanks guys I did a clean install with about 12 mods graphics, guns, etc..it works fine!! I'll beat vanilla first then try x div and xnt!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweer Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) as someone who is new to the game, Is the out of the sun mod what people would suggest as a good mod to start with? I played UOF defense to death back in the day, and played xenonauts back when it was a community project. Is there a good, easy to browse list of updated mods available anywhere? Edit: oh...and what's the community version I see mentioned? Edited March 24, 2015 by dweer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 In answer to your second question: No. The closest you'll get to an easily browsable list is checking the downloads or the Completed Mods or the Steam Workshop if you bought it through Steam.

steelgonads Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Followup question about the CE edition: I have the game on Steam and I've been modding it for a while. I was under the impression that the Steam version of the game was the CE edition by default, since the list of features in that thread Max_caine linked is already in the game I'm playing (except the memorial screen). I went to the betas tab to check and my version is not CE edition. So my question is: did those features listed in that thread migrate from CE to vanilla, or am I missing something?

kabill Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A number of features and bugfixes were taken from XCE and included in the 1.5 release of Xenonauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
