XenoNUT Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) All male/all female soldiers Batch scripts in case you are too lazy to copy and paste the files yourself Actually might be easier to just backup the existing file/folder then copy/paste and delete/rename in Explorer Save the text as a batch (.bat) file and Run from xenonauts folder. All male AKA XYnonauts or "Sausagefest" if you like: REM Backup files/folders then copy soldiernames.xml to soldiernamesfemale.xml and copy soldierimages REM folder (and all subfolders) to soldierimagesfemale REM BACKUP FEMALE SOLDIER NAMES copy .\assets\soldiernamesfemale.xml .\assets\soldiernamesfemale.bak.xml REM OVERWRITE FEMALE SOLDIER NAMES W/ MALE SOLDIER NAMES copy .\assets\soldiernames.xml .\assets\soldiernamesfemale.xml REM BACKUP FEMALE SOLDIER IMAGES mkdir .\assets\soldierimagesfemale.bak xcopy .\assets\soldierimagesfemale .\assets\soldierimagesfemale.bak /S REM OVERWRITE FEMALE SOLDIER IMAGES W/ MALE SOLDIER IMAGES xcopy .\assets\soldierimages .\assets\soldierimagesfemale /S /Y All female AKA Gynonauts or "Amazons": REM Backup files/folders then copy soldiernamesfemale.xml to soldiernames.xml and copy REM soldierimagesfemale folder (and all subfolders) to soldierimages REM BACKUP MALE SOLDIER NAMES copy .\assets\soldiernames.xml .\assets\soldiernames.bak.xml REM OVERWRITE MALE SOLDIER NAMES W/ FEMALE SOLDIER NAMES copy .\assets\soldiernamesfemale.xml .\assets\soldiernames.xml REM BACKUP MALE SOLDIER IMAGES mkdir .\assets\soldierimages.bak xcopy .\assets\soldierimages .\assets\soldierimages.bak /S REM OVERWRITE MALE SOLDIER IMAGES W/ FEMALE SOLDIER IMAGES xcopy .\assets\soldierimagesfemale .\assets\soldierimages /S /Y Note: Currently all the Xenonauts are using the same injury and death sounds so your ladies will still sound like dudes. Of course, you can always copy the female civilian sounds from the /assets/audio/sfx/injury folder over the existing sounds (always back up first!) Or you could just change the file references in the sounds_gc.xml file (after backing up the old one). The xml solution is probably more elegant. If I decide to mess with that I will post it here. Oh and there is one guy- Kris Thaler, who seems to be hard coded so you will end up with him regardless.

Gauddlike Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Chris England is probably hard coded as well I would assume. No way of getting rid of that one without a close range pistol shot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Looks like a nice solution! Hopefully they will add a parameter to the config file that will allow you to set the ratio between the two sexes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoNUT Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 LOL @ Gauddlike Here are the relevant sections from the sounds_gc.xml files to make your all-female squad sound like they should: <Sound name="XenonautInjury" volume="1.0" group="1" comment=""> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_injury.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_injury_1.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_injury_2.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_injury_3.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_injury_4.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_injury_5.ogg</Wave> </Sound> AND <Sound name="XenonautDeath" volume="1.0" group="1" comment=""> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_death.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_death_1.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_death_2.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_death_3.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_death_4.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_death2.ogg</Wave> <Wave>audio/sfx/injury/voice_civi_fema_death3.ogg</Wave> </Sound> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorlom Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I just saw a thread where you said you just wanted to adjust the ratios... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoNUT Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 I just saw a thread where you said you just wanted to adjust the ratios... True, but there isn't currently a way to do that as far as I can tell. I played around a bit and found it was easy enough to replace one with the other and decided in the interests of fairness and equality to also give instructions on how to get an all-female squad. In reality all it does is change the name and picture. Within the game engine the units are still designated as male or female in a 50/50 ratio. It's why I said in the other thread it's really more like a sex-change operation. As far as adjusting ratios, I was mainly looking at historical accuracy- but that aside I think on my next play through I am going to have a blast with my team of woman warriors!

Gorlom Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) I was responding to Oktober. Sorry I didn't make that clear BTW does this fix change the paper doll in the inventory screen too or will some guys have female paper dolls and girls have male paper dolls?

Oktober Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I just saw a thread where you said you just wanted to adjust the ratios... I replied to your post in that other thread. I'm happy having any options for gender-manipulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 We'll be adding a value in gameconfig.xml for female soldier spawn chance in either this build or the next one, which should streamline this rather dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Ah but will there be a male spawn chance as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
