    UFO Extender

    Hello everybody, I want to come back to UFO after a few years playing it with UFO Extender. I used the the extender about two years ago and it seems like a few things have changed. Though I have read the UFOpaedia article about the Extender there are some questions left and I hope you can help. 1. Does the Extender fix the difficulty bug? I see I have XCOMutil in my old game folder and I think I used it back then to fix the bug. 2. Can I install the latest version of the Extender by just copy-paste-overwrite with the new files over the old ones? or would you suggest to make a new fresh installation? 3. What is the sense of the "Battlescape Delay"? A friend told me that it slows down the smoke and the jumping yellow marker over the soldiers down nicely but also produces a huge lag when moving the mouse and clicking buttons. 4. A question about "alien screams" not really about the Extender. A friend told me that in earlier versions of UFO every alien had its own death scream. Can anyone confirm this? I can only remeber the same sound for any alien race. Thanks for you help! I really appreciate the work people put into UFO and TFTD today. That people like me still come back after nearly 20 years to play this game means you are doing valuable work!
  2. Thats the question I am looking for it for a while now, but i dont know where to change them. I want to make the PKs ore weak, so that i can use normal infantry against them. Thanks for your help
  3. lol, now this biostuff creeps all over the planet and there is nothing i can do to stop it. i am loosing one base after another, because i cannot take a sample of it, or can resaerch anything wich has something to do with it. what a crap
  4. After a hard beginning the rest was easy going. I kneed down at the starting position and after 1 second they where one after another. My weapons where 2xSteyr AUG. 2xH&K G11, 2xLaser Rifle and 1 advanced laser rifle. Some men where hit by the aliens, but at all they managed very fast to kill them. After this i took position behind the wall at both sides of the entrance. One scout looked around the corner and when i saw a alian the other men threw grenaed over the wall why the scout was retreating. After the some some grenades the aliens decided to come out, so i had easy work killing those injured reticulans. Inside the base it was much easier than outside. Neostead and CAWS shotguns and smoke grenades did the job in time. I was a little bit dissapionted, that the base looked like Area 51.
  5. Ok, i found the base. It was just a few minutes away of Stalingrad. The beginning of the base looks hard, they are coming from everywhere.
  6. Hello! Now i am using a combination of 2x G36, 2x G3, 3x Laser Rifle. Too bad, that there is no long range weapon for ''soft'' targets. Bur this combination works very good. Even if i split of in 2-3 Teams. I also realised, that is as good as imposible to play without shootguns in base attacks. At short range 1-2 shots are strong enough to kill any reticulan. A question: I received a message wich says that i have to find other bases like Area 51. Is there anything i can for finding them, or this is a scripted thing? thanks for your help.
  7. Thanks for the info Strange, now i can research the Gobber... Right now the game has become very hard. Those Reticulans are very strong. The main problem is, that i cannot kill them so fast, that they are not able to use the plasma gun, which makes area damage. Another thing is, that cannot really find out what is effective against them. At short range a shot from the shotgun makes a lot of damage, but how to fight them over distance?
  8. Hello! Thanks for your answer. Now i seem to have a problem. Although i've killed a lot of Reticulans and Gobbers, i cannot reaserch them. They dont show up in the list. But i will need them later for transgenant theory. Is this a bug or what? thanks again for your help
  9. Hmm, at least the MP 5 is not that bad. I use 4x G3 and 2x MP5. The damage type of the G3 rifle is not so good for targets without armour. So its not bad to have one or two MP5 in team. A question: I can research authopsie just with the corpse of the alien. Is it usefull in any way to have a living one for research? are there more informations in the final report? thanks
  10. Thanks for welcoming me I think i will start a new game with hardest difficulty. The more challenging the better If it is to hard, i wil change the difficulty back to normal. Another question: How important is the ''handgun'' skill?(dont know if its called so in english, i play the german version). Are mp's and pistols important in the later game?
  11. Hello! Right now i am playing UFO with difficulty level ''normal''. But it seems very easy. Not really a challenge. I wanted to know whats the difference between ''normal'' and ''hard'' difficult. Are the aliens smarter? Are there more of them in the missions? Thanks for your help
