TrashMan Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 This game badly needs one. Specificly to edit soldiers. why? Because I like to customize them. One thing the new XCOM did right is give you customization options (apperance, name, callsign). Alas, it kinda sucks that the soldiers specilization is not something you can choose, nor can you edit the nationality. It took me a while, and some tweaks (friggin nationalities nad specs), but I managed to create the Expendables team. Arnold "Terminator" Schwartzenkegger - Heavy Dolph "Dragon" Lundgren - Heavy John "Sly" Balboa - Assault Chuck "Allmighty" Norris - Sniper Jason "Transporter" Stahaam - Support Bruce "Die Hard" McLane - Assault etc... I want that in Xenonauts. But in Xenonauts you can't edit the picture/apperance, nor nationality, nor name... That makes me a sad panda.

thothkins Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 There was a thread before the new UI was finalised. I was all for each of the fields to be edited, but not to be, I don't think. I miss having a little notes area too, to further personalise them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashMan Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Precisely why I think we should look into the savefiles. The data on soldiers has to be in thar. References top their stats, nationality and apperance. And if it's there..... then it can be changed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalsaDoom Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 You know most of them will just end up dead :-) That said, download a hex editor, open up a save game and search for the soldiers name, the format is incredibly simple. I've poked around it a few times and made tweaks, is pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienman Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I tried a freeware hex editor and loaded a save. But it still looked like demon talk to me. What hex editor do you use, so you easily change name, nation and such without destroying the save? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
