Victor_Tadeu Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Here, TD. Same save yet. I didn't made any progress since the bug. Neither I tested the new experimental build. http://www.filedropper.com/base_1 By the way, TD. Chris said that the new experimental build will break savegames. So I think there is no point in fixing that save if I had to start another anyway, right? Edited May 28, 2014 by Victor_Tadeu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor_Tadeu Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Omg, man! You did something similar to the OG auto cannon! That's freaking awesome! But it made me wonder if they aren't to OP... I mean, you ripped the aliens off in those videos. By the way, with it, I will redo my RRE tactic... now it will be RR3xE... three times more "explode"! Hahhahaha! But, anyway... I think I will be waiting until friday to test those. Xeno probably will be released that day and maybe the final version wont be compatible with the experimental builds.

Hahhahaha! ! hahahaha I test this weapons for a week, they are not unbalanced. For the next reasons: - This weapons are hidden and hard to get. - Normally people unlock the Tactical RPG at Tier 2+ or if your a real veteran you can get it on Tier2-. - Compact rockets do less damage. - This weapons normally has lot of restrictions, place to launch, not for all maps, not for all enemies. - Tier 2+ and Tier 3 enemies are really strong and quick after the update H9. - This weapon can lead you to heavy accidents. - And the most IMPORTANT thing if you abuse of this weapons you dont get any money at all or destroy important tech items. In my play test a light UFO fully destroyed by this weapons give me only.... $2000.... 100 times less tan Airstriking For this reasons this weapon is a suport pillar for some kind of breach, specially taking heavy protected Alien Bases and UFO doors.

Victor_Tadeu Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 By the way, TD. I think none of the new weapons show their stats in the game, I always have to come to the forum to see it (you know, when you hover the mouse of a gun in the equipment screen and it show it TU costs, etc). Do you pretend to add it later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalDragon Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I put Xenopedia entry with the stats and image. For now I have not add the entry on hovering mouse. Can you see xenopedia entry? the stealth update change Xenopedia.xml you need to donwload it and add it to the game. Any way I have made a minor change in xenopedia, is better that you download it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selgald Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Started a new round, the Ceasans on my second scout ufo killed all my soldiers. They just snipe / reactionfire you to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalDragon Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Started a new round, the Ceasans on my second scout ufo killed all my soldiers.They just snipe / reactionfire you to death. I make some moddifications on the AI ... That bad? Difficulty level? In other hand I mod the UfoContent of almost all ufos and focer the ocurrence of mission "Ground Attack" in Scouts. When you had bad luck and face a Small UFO prepared for combat they configuration and tactic is hardcore. I introduce two AI scripts for experienced aliens and other more for Melee units.

Caesan are pretty weak, they have lot of weapons to counter with. Specially Sniper Rifle and Machinegun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinHann Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I have a modding question. The weapon variety you are offering for the Xenonauts team to mess with is all fine and dandy but... is it possible to add more diversity to the alien weapons? For instance they only use grenades in terms of explosives. I really think adding just a few different types of alien guns would truly bring something to the game in terms of challenge, tactics and establishing more memorable foes. Of course it would also be a challenge to balance them but that goes for just about anything modded in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it would also be a challenge to balance them but that goes for just about anything modded in. Thanks for touching this point. The answer is yes indeed. In XNT Into Darkness aliens have this characteristics: - Some of them have gas grenades and nerve gas grenades. - Most of the alien weapons has been changed. - There are new aliens. - Elite Aliens stats and AI is completly different to vanilla, deal with them is pretty hard. Right now we are working on: - 2x New alien weapons - Make a exclusive weapons for Delta Viper - New type of viper. I ask to guiovanni about some mods that I want to make with the random "Crash site" from local forces, I want to make special missions with speciall hidden tech. Something like a random pool of "Events or Quest", each game spawn like 3 to 5 if your lucky, from a pool of 30 planned events. For now this looks ... like impossible, and devs are stoping right now to help us with it. Even I offer goldhawk a video clip for the ending of this game, but the engine dont manage videos...

Selgald Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yes it was that bad, they get a boost in AC in the R10 update, maybe this? One ceasan killed three soldiers in one turn with reaction fire (3x burst fire) in mid range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinHann Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Would you consider releasing a separate pack, focused only on alien weapons over vanilla version to add tactical flexibility to the existing creatures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentelin Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 He probably won't do that.Reason why he won't,is that it would require for him to maintain two different versions of the same mod.XNT:Into darkness is harder than vanilla so, all weapon that are made for this mod would be significantly overpowered in vanilla and it would require additional balance specifically for vanilla (I doubt anyone has that much time and will to do that).

Sentelin is completly right, is too much work mantain and balance a mod at this point. Make new content for vanilla is make the game not vanilla, even introduce material to the game requiere a lot of statistical balance. In other hand, as Sentelin and Selgald, Aliens and encounters are hard in XNT, aliens has the same resourses as you and they behave very smart and reactive. @Selgald, I actually review the last UFO content version, I will modify a few the Scouts. Thanks for reporting. @KevinHanns, I know that you love vanilla, but the content here is exclusive for XNT. Why you didnt make a playtest?
