Back to playing my way through UFO:AM and installed the ALPine mods and they are GREAT! Especially, the ability to zoom in to a point right there with the troops. Changes the game a lot, for the better.

Doubt the guy who did it is still around, but thanks a lot.

ALPine is a great tool, and the mods are very useful indeed! Fulby has been playing Afterlight, but doesn't come around too often these days I think. Feel free to e-mail or PM him if you wish to make sure he gets the feedback

Some of the ALPine plug-ins are indeed great.



I’m using following at moment:



Tactical Mission Camera Mode: parameter 4. I don’t need zooming-in or the FPC but the ability to view/pan further is most useful.



CoE Delegation Improver: This lifts the heavy burden to save the whole world all but alone with your team.



Geosphere Zoom Inverter: I just feel this way of zooming with the wheel is the right way.



Hostile Humans: Yeah, one the best plug-ins/mods! Although the missing head and the identification as an "alien/gray" is bad, it still rocks like hell to fight against your own kind and weapons. I’ve set the parameter to maximum 10. It’s still not 100% but quite often. The mutants simply don’t offer the same thrill as hostile humans or aliens. UFO-related or story missions should still spawn the Reticulans, so don’t worry about missing the whole aliens.



I also installed the Extended Magazines for UZI but I’ve too quickly received most of the best human weapons after very few missions, so I guess this plug-in is more or less useless.



I also used faster helicopter speed once but with base-teleportation later, it looks plausible if the chopper flies as slow as it should be. The CoE Delegation booster plug-in also compensates for the missing missions.

Recommendations to What kind of Mods to Install before playing the game :

1st Version of Gaming Experience :
1. Patch 1.4
2. ALL the ALpine Mods
3. First Person Camera Mod
4. Head Grenade

While Playing the 1st version during the game You can do the following:
1. Remove the Head Grenade.
2. WARNING! REMOVING ALPine will CRASH your saved games and will render it useless‼
3. X-Com Music Mod
4. No Biomass
5. UFO:AM Skip Intros
6. UFO:AM STFU Mod

Next would be adding Stargate SG-1 later in the game.

Finally, Play the Game again the 2nd time with the Combo-Mod in a Highest difficulty setting.

Hopes this gets pinned...
