Gauddlike Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Both have their uses. I use both as little as possible though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorlom Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I didn't know you could still play PC games without some type of overlay. Desura doesn't have to run when you play Xenonauts. Not even in the autoupdater version. Xenonauts is completely DRM free from Desura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah I use Desura when I want the update or when I want to find any new indie games that look interesting. Steam I only log into when I have to in order to play a game from there. Or when I feel like there is too much money in my bank and their sales are there to help out...

Chollirem Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ive seen that xenonauts crashes a lot LESS when you don't play it through desura (now I use des to update otherwise I have a short cut to the game on my DT so I dont even have to open des to play) not sure what thats about tho : / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboRed Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I would like to propose another idea. Ground Combat - Soldier Navigation Tab will become highlited in red when a Xenonaut is bleeding. During Hidden Movement, my Xenonauts keep getting shot without me knowing about it. I understand this is because I'm not supposed to see where a shot is coming from behind me, but I still need to know when a soldier gets hit and is bleeding. Sometimes I will go a turn without knowing my Xeno's got shot, and suddenly 2 guys drop dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I thought that the little box telling you that they were bleeding would highlight this, and the blood splatter around them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboRed Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I understand I don't see my soldier getting shot, but I should know when a soldier is bleeding. I can see their health on the Nav Bar, but I cannot tell if they are bleeding without selecting each soldier one-by-one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboRed Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I would like to propose another idea. RESOLVED. Already In Game. Edited January 9, 2013 by HoboRed Resolved - Converting Alien Weapons into Materials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 HoboRed, that's sort-of what happens already. All alien magazines from alien weapons are converted into Alenium, so even if Squaddie McNumpty blows up the power generator on a scout, you still get some Alenium out of it.

HoboRed Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Okay cool they convert the ammo. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboRed Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I have another request for this thread. The option to disable the mouse-scroll feature for selecting Xenonauts. This feature has screwed up my shots quite a few times. When I'm trying to adjust my aim using the mouse wheel, if I don't keep the mouse pointer steady over the Alien or target it will scroll to another soldier and still show my crosshairs on the alien. Not realizing that I am now using a totally different Xenonaut to make the shot, my newly selected Xenonaut will then either shoot the wall thereby wasting TU or blue falcon a Xenonaut in the back. The ability to disable the mouse wheel Xenonaut selector thingy will erase that problem. Can anyone point me to the appropriate file to disable this feature?

Azazass Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 How about some armored support for the allied military? An APC (might be too big or overpowered) or some other form of vehicle (A jeep or some other vehicle, armed with a machinegun) to help allied soldiers to fight the mid to late game alien units. That will give them a better fighting chance against the aliens... And provide a better distraction so the xenonauts troops can maneuver and destroy the alien forces or escape to fight another day.

" That's pretty much what the local forces are in there to do as it is. Adding even more, such as vehicles, in there might unbalance the aliens chances somewhat. Mind you, I could swear I saw a burned out vehicle in there early on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe countries that signed pacts with the aliens now have alien sympathizers that you will also have to deal with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
