UFOACM mod (UFO Advanced Conversion Mod).

Total conversion mod for Atlar's UFO: Aftershock strategy game with the spirit of the anchient X-COM series. Mod was started in 2009 as a simple weapon models replacement, but eventially was developed as massive conversion of technically everything that the game had to offer - rebalanced weapons, armors, drones, skills and stats, research, resources, buildings, militia, enemy forces and a whole ton of new items to make gaming experience a bit more diverse.

How to install:

- Backup your 'localization' folder.
- Unpack contents of the archive into root folder of the game.
- Make sure LocalizationPack is replaced by the one in the mod and ACMmod2020.vfs is in the same place as UFO.exe.

Features:

- new models for weapons, expanded range of firearms, reworked laser, plasma and sonic weapons.
- gauss weapons, cyborg-only heavy weapons, Cultist-Wargot hybrid weapons.
- reconfigured Cultist, Local Human, Local Cyborg, Local Psionic and Militia equipment.
- fully redesigned tech tree.
- more expensive buildings.
- raiders adversaries that attempt to swarm you on missions.
- Reticulans and mutants grouped together.
- Cultists made much more dangerous.

All in all the game is now much more diverse, challenging and unforgiving. Yet interesting and entertaining :slight_smile:

I decided to replace all images with new and better ones. I`ll start from this post.

There will also be an acid spitter gun that is actually a small mutant creature put inside a gun

How will you coax the creature to spit it's acid on cue? Give it an electric shock everytime you pull the trigger?

Looking good! Did you hear from ShadoWarrior? I'd also advice you to register at the official ALTAR forums and mention this mod there.

Come on, you are advising our prized members to go elsewhere!  

Ok, I guess this might be the best option to get SWs attention, he he he. Than again, we could try to send him a message there - to come here...

EDIT: I sent him a message. I hope he still visits the forum.

Well. I feel that soon it wont be neccessary. If SW wont answer the call than i`ll just sepparate my mod from his without any significant loss.

IMAGES REMOVED.

New ones are comming soon.

[ERISS]

Very nice!! I wish you could separate your work between cosmetic changes for the vanillia game, and new weapons as optional for the non-vanilia weapons (the whole pack, or one by one??).

Incredible models Okim! The Cyborg gauss minigun is neat! To bad ShadoWarrior haven't been around lately, but I'm sure he'll give his blessing when he sees this.

Edit: I posted about the mod at the official forums.

[ERISS]

(I removed. Ok for your sorry, Okim.)

[Slaughter]

No need to be rude over a simple naming issue. Keep it civil!

[ShadoWarrior]

It's not just an "Art Conversion" mod, so it's not a "simple naming issue". ERISS calling Okim a "liar" is very rude and unacceptable on forums, but the point about the naming being misleading is valid.

As for giving my "blessing", I would have been happy to if the mod had remained just an "art conversion". But his wholesale changes to things other than models makes a joke out of the "Rebalance" part of my mod. Under copyright "fair use" Okim can put out a mod based on mine so long as he gives credit for the underlying work (and his mod is still based on my WRM, regardless of his significant number of changes). But I'd prefer that it not be called "Art Conversion", which is misleading (it's not just a reskin and it's not a "sanctioned" extension of WRM).

(I removed. Slaughter you can clean all the posts (removing this and up one of me).
This thread deserves beautiful posts.)

This mod no longer uses any WRM files and entries (even sound files and descriptions), so there is really no need for "blessings" as it is no longer based on WRM. Currently the mod is being written from scratch with everything based on vanila files and my own concepts. Thanks for your mod, btw. It is a good manual for beginner modder such as myself

I just told about my feelings: These had not been if the title mod was good, and If Okim had not insulted me with its "my mod is not for people like you" rude attitude.

Yes, the mod was planned as a simple art convertion compatible with every other mods, but now it is much more than a simple decorative mod. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to rename the current thread, so it will remain Art Conversion Mod until i figure out how to rename it.

[Slaughter]

Just let me know what to call it, and I'll rename it for you.

IMAGES REMOVED.

New ones are comming soon.

[Okim]

Added plasma and warp greanades and effect for their explosions. Also added FN Fal, Scar-l, Scar-h and a new nightvision sniper scope (gives a +15 to accuracy and provides nightvision abbility).

Shots will be uploaded soon.

P.S.: Sorry ERISS, i didn`t mean to be rude. I`ve removed that message.

P.P.S.: Does anybody know where a file containing item effects is? Here is what i mean:

Influencer Influencer RECORD
      auto BOOL F
      area STR "Target"
      damage STR "Hard"
effect INT 1               <--------- this line adresses a list of effects which i need
       time FLT 0
       strength FLT 0.9
...

I don't have the first darn clue... And I'm not proud of it.
