Ruggerman Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 It would be nice if the basic battle harness, that you see in the units equipment page was more in line with battle harness that is actually worn by infantry soldiers, with a place for battle knife or bayonet, and that a holster for the side arm, instead of it put in the back pack or tucked into the wait belt taking up room that could be used for other equipment, and also attach point on the harness for one or two ready grenades?? As more combat suits become available, they also could add more functionality to those suits with better layout. That does the discussion group feel on this???

Alienkiller Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) That´s to much work to change it for every Suit. Then the Game you wont see in the next 40 Years or in worst Case forever. That´s why all Game-Devs (dosen´t matter from UFO ET, old / new XCOM, Phoenix Point etc.) have an System where you can change the Suits / Armor and an static Equipment-System. The existing System here is very good and an big Rework / Refit from that of Xenonauts 1. An similar System uses the UFO-ET-Series. If you wanna have an System with a Sidearm-Holster and such, then look in the UNI-Mod for UFO ET, which Refit the existing System with the missing things. The Xenonauts 2-System have already the most of it, maybe the missing Sidarm-Holster can be integrated.

Komandos Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 In any case, what a soldier will take with him into battle depends on his carrying capacity, and not on the number of special pockets. When the inventory pockets are fully occupied, and the soldiers will still have the carrying capacity (the ability to carry more weight) - only then should you think about additional places in a more advanced suit.

Alienkiller Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Thanks Komandos, that´s what I mean. The Carrying weight is the Point. Everything else is a Bonus like I explained in the UNI-Mod Example for UFO 1 ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruggerman Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 A side arm is called a side arm, because it is on your side, and not in a back park, Oh! and yes a soldier will only carry what he needs or what he feels he will need, that is why the battle harness is very important, as it can place needed equipment close at hand, and not have to spend time rummaging in his back pack in a desperate situation. I understand that there are limitation to what can fit on a user interface screen, and if that is the case, then you just have to state it, and that is the end of it. Thank you.

Alienkiller Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Ruggerman, maybe the Soldier-Equip-Screen can be reworked from the Devs or Modded like in the Uni-Mod for UFO 1 ET Standard / Gold-Edition. But atm we have to look that the Game get ready with every tested and in Rework / Refit-Part done asap. The Remaining Secondary / Terteriary Things like that can be done with an DLC / Mod.

Komandos Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) At one time, I made a modification of the soldier's personal inventory for the game UFO 1-2 (open Xcom). (that was before) : Pockets allowed the equipment to be divided into separate groups by category. Which was convenient for the game. However, in the game "Xenonauts" in the tactical control panel there are separate buttons for grenades, first aid kits, ammunition. Which is convenient. However, the inventory pockets themselves are not so convenient (visually) to fill with equipment sorted by category. If you are interested in my opinion, then I am in favor of adding a few more strips of pockets to the personal inventory of the soldier "Xenonauts 2". (Backpack 4x5; Bib 1x5; belt 1x5; the rest 1x5). At the bottom there is a place under the belt and backpack. Edited November 4, 2021 by Komandos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienkiller Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Sadly we don´t have a Picture from UFO 1 ET UNI-Mod with that Soldier-Equipment-Screen. But I will make one today, if I don´t forgett it. There you see what I and Ruggerman mean. Kommandos, if you can bring the Steam-Community to wait 2 or 3 more Years patient with Arguments, Facts etc., we can bring the Soldier-Equipment-Change and other long-time Changes in. And from my Experiance there you won´t have Success. That you can belive me. It´s better to finish the Main-Game WIP with already testet and Reworked / Refited Features, fully R & D and Major-to Implement Things out. After the Main-Game is running, we can think over an DLC with such Secondarys / Terteries. Or an Mod (like in UFO 1 ET UNI-Mod) upgrades the Soldier-Equipment Screen.

Alienkiller Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thanks, Kommandos. It´s Russian and yes, that is what I mean. new Implemented: Head-Part for an Helmet (f. e. Anti-PSI) [Head] Shield-Holster for an Electronical-Shield (Energieshield for Soldiers) [Torso] Pistol-Holster for different Pistols (Stun, normal, Engery etc.) [under the Shield-Holster] additional Shoulder-Pockets for whatever (Grenades, Ammo etc.) Not Changed: Hands, Belt, Backpack and the small Shoulder-Pockets (2x2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruggerman Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Yes it is very important to get the game run, in it's basic form, and then we can add the bling and the eye candy, as it would be nice to have the Armour, and under vests to also add storage and protection, and the visuals.

Alienkiller Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Ruggerman, we have Vests and specials integrated and playable ready, which should make with all other in Rework / Refit etc. testet and implemented Features as well as important Missing (Storyline etc.) ones made stable asap. Secondary / Tertiary Features we should bring in later with an DLC as Surprisse and Bonus for the Community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
