Theon Greyjoy Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) Interesting. What difficulty level are you playing? Aren't the funding nations surrendering withouth lots of early bases and advanced airspace coverage? Thanks for the descriptive comment. And I think the next update might alter your early game tactics. I'm working hard on lore, but if TD is waiting for it, with the update, that is (which he should )...then its probably not comming out until tomorrow. I have a lot of technologies to cover. And the only thing TD told me about it: it's purple*. So I am writing lore about purple things without knowing anything about them *(ok, ok ..TD explained a lot about the technologies and weapons which I'am about to cover...but still .... it's purple! ) Mod working note to self - do not listen to BSG soundtrack whilst writing lore... The headscientist gets all cranked up! from the Vortex lore: (...) As with alenium, there is of course no possibility to reproduce it (or not yet at least, maybe tomorrow?) . But, as with alenium our brave minds have yet again, in a way, succeeded. This is our nature, Commander. The nature of adapting and retaliating. When saber-tooth cats attacked our ancestors, we retaliated by carving saber-tooth knives. When thick-hided herds of animals trampled our berry bushes, we took their skins, and turned them into our food, their furs, into our armor. When lightning struck down our shelters, we harnessed its by-product: fire. And we set the world ablaze. We are going to set the world ablaze once again, Commander. And in due time, we will set THEIR world ablaze. Mark my words! Edited June 5, 2014 by Theon Greyjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalDragon Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 ! History line progress has been halted cuz I lost all the progress again.... @Sentelin, Thanks for your feedback, I al ready notice that tanks are very powerfull and maybe OP in the mod. Which kind of music did you propose to the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentelin Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) @Theon I completed vanilla on veteran and insane.It really depends on how you want to play (too many bases is really bad,I think that way you are going to run out of money before you even enter in mid game.Also it was possible to win game without Air supermacy but it was harder).I don't play this game to save whole world,so I kept most important nation (ones which gave most money of course).In late game i had stable economy exalted relations with major money founding nations (USSR,South America,Europe,Middle East and Asia),strong crew,air supremacy and almost all objectives completed (well that was v20 and v21 in v22 a lot things changed and I guess i would have to change my play style). As for this mod I am still trying to find good strategy,because when i tried to play the same way I did,aliens wipe floor with me.Early Air coverage in this mod doesn't mean nothing from what i have seen so far,armor rush is more sound to me,however i still haven't completed this game so I don't say this strategy is sound. @TD Well i listen rock,metal (all genres expect black metal,trash and so called modern heavy metal) and hard rock,so few sound tracks from one or all of those genres would be great. Oh don't tell me that steam screwed all your progress ? Edited June 5, 2014 by Sentelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don't tell me that steam screwed all your progress ? No this time was the dropbox syncronzed in two computers. The new update is almost complete! Right now Kirill and Korhang was making the balance adjustments and Theon reviews the structure of xenopedia entries and the new secret (My english is bad as hell..) I'll leave the history line update for later updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selgald Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 You could add the good old x-com terror from the deep soundtrack (the one from the playstation, PC was low quality). Matches with every xcom or xcom like game ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor_Tadeu Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 SHARE AND NEWS NO.29Hello XNT Players, We'r testing lot of new elements for the game, but this time I write asking this questions: - Which music or track did you like or want to see in this game? I'm still following the mod progress, but since I lack time to do some serious play throughs, I not giving feedback... but, hey, music to the game? Well, I dont need ingame experience to suggest some! Well... I'm a huge fan of old school 16-bit musics and there is some from the old SNes that I think suit Xenonauts very well. But I also want the music to be tense and dark (the monotonous and repetitive OG XCom battle music still give me chills! So simple and perfect) So, Clock Tower have one music that I think could be used: Demon's Crest also have some annoying repetitive tense music that may be used: Super Metroid theme is awesome awesome: By the way... all of the Super Metroid soundtrack fits perfectly into the game! Just imagine you are doing an alien base mission for the first time listening to it: [video=youtube;8NoEvgpvDQc] See the rest of the Super Metroid soundtrack releated in that last video on Youtube. It's filled with gold! I really think this game may have everything to provide a decent soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theon Greyjoy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Super Metroid soundtrack Sounds a lot like the original x-com themes. A lot of games have fitting music, copyrights are a burden though: how about royalty free music?: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?feels%5B%5D=Eerie&feels%5B%5D=Unnerving Just browse between Unnerving, dark, eerie and somber categories and you will get a lot of useful music. From the first page alone..there are lots of viable ones: Day of Chaos Bent and Broken Static Motion Ice Demon Controlled Chaos - this one maybe for aircombat ?

TacticalDragon Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 @Victor, Thank you for following us, maybe 16bits sounds could be annoying at this point for modern players... I run a test and I fell stressed ! @Theon, Good catch! I really like this tracks they are awesome, maybe a bit dark. I had some ideas but this music sounds great. Selgald and you tell me about places that offer free music, I download a lot of track to test it and select it. This one included ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selgald Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Remember that for the most "free" music you have to write the name of the creator somewhere. When you make a readme for the mod, just put them into the credits ^^ And make the music pack as an optional download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentelin Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 What do you mean available,didn't Chris disabled it ?I am doing clean install and game is downloading now so i assumed it's disabled or I may read something else .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacticalDragon Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Are you playing the experimental 1.02 or 1.01? This version work for both. And in both of them autoresolve is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theon Greyjoy Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 TD probably didn't see the 1.03 patch notes yet . Im not sure whether auto-resolve will be able or not after you mod it. Our update is for the 1.02 and it therefore might re-enable autoresolve for 1.03 But even with autorelove you will probably want to not use it with Apollo. Auto resolve is damn difficult to set. I just tried it out and: Fighter vs Apollo (7 times - save /load) - 3 times I won - 3 times it was a draw (both crafts down ) - 1 time he got me in autoresolve the chance was 0% ... Then I tried a light scout (5 times save/load) - 3 times won - 2 times lost It wasn't easy. and autoresolve was proposing 71% which I think is fair.
