    UFO Extender

    Good work Tycho! Can i have a question for you? Have you thought that it could be easier to work on OpenXcom (contribute or create your version) instead of hacking original game? But probably not so challenging
  2. Currently it's being developed in external branch by new contributor (that's power of open source ) but it will be merged in main OpenXcom too. But there will be some work required to softcode information about every game resource, so engine could cleanly support both games. But thanks to that everything in OpenXcom will be treated as mod. That will allow to many great things Custom editions of Ufo: EU (with new aliens, weapons etc), Ufo: EU + TFTD, total conversions etc

    Just wanted to update this thread Everyone who are interested in x-com modding, should check OpenXcom - it's already in playable state and has plenty of modding capabilities - you can add new items with new graphics, new aliens, etc. You don't have to replace assets - you can add new! There is list of finished mods here: http://ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Mods_%28OpenXcom%29 OpenXcom modding forums: http://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/board,8.0.html

    UFO Terrain Mod

    Your work is really cool, it would be great if it could be supported by OpenXcom in future versions.

    OpenXcom

    This topic hasn't been updated for some time. Of course there are new things in Openxcom Mainly: - research - manufacture - battlescape minimap There is also ongoing work for moving rulesets (which defines game elements) to easy to edit files, more information here: http://openxcom.org/index.php/2011/10/what...uleset-anyways/ There is video from crazy experiment with tweaking rulesets - tweaks have been made for interceptor (super fast), stingray launcher (super reload rate) and pistol (999999 of HE damage):
  14. After 8 months of hard work it’s finally here! Be sure to uninstall any old versions first and read the Documentation carefully for any new features. New features: Basescape: Craft rearming. Craft equipping. Purchase/Recruit. Sell/Sack. Base transfers. [*]Battlescape: Battle turns. Item equipping, firing, throwing. Environment: fire, smoke, explosions, damage, kills. Unit stats. Inventory. AI Phase 1 (patrol, aggro). [*]New languages: Czech, English (UK), Polish, Romanian, Russian. [*]Support for custom font characters and full Unicode. [*]Options. [*]Platform-specific folders. [*]Partial Ufopaedia. [*]Externalized soldier names. [*]Nag screen only shows once. [*]Swapped F5 and F12 keys. [*]Movable caret in text input. Bugfixes: Bug in Geoscape pathfinding. Incorrect language names. Cross-platform bug when loading PCK files. Invisible loading errors. Incorrect mouse events. Missing strings. Various UI issues. Various translation issues. Bug in craft rearming. FPS Counter didn’t always show up properly. Crash sites didn’t vanish properly. Failing to load a game could crash the Geoscape. Games weren’t always saved properly. Monthly report didn’t show correct date. Crafts in base view weren’t positioned correctly. Music loading issues. Various battlescape fixes. Various performance improvements. And as usual, the known issues: Battlescape is still in a “sandbox” mode, so missions never end and anything you do in it won’t carry over to the Geoscape. Take advantage of it! Geoscape sidebar isn’t translated in all languages. You can’t minimize dogfights. UFOs are nerfed to make them easier to intercept. Screenshots are saved in BMP since it doesn’t require libraries. DO NOT share them in this format, convert them to something sane like PNG/JPG first. Game can be downloaded from official site: www.openxcom.org
