Munkeylord Posted April 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 ok, well i added two more rifles onto the page......though i am having trouble with the damn pistols and putting the m203 guns together to replace the HC. there is a sniper rifle and grenade launcher in mind but i'm really trying to get the rifles and other things i already have fixed and up. the woodland camo will not get put up, its going to be part of another project. but drop me a line if you don't mind installing it manually.

The Demi-Godly One Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 I really like making my own changes. I think I will put up my own site on X-com later. (of course I'll put my eidts on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKF Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 How about just moving this thread to the workshop and renaming the title to something more apropriate? Actually, I was meaning to ask, how exactly do you attach a grenade launcher to your gun anway? Do you designate a grenade as one of the three possible ammunition clips? I know it's a little tedious to unload your clip just to put a grenade in... still. I noticed an interesting bug when transforming the clips in a gun into grenades at one time. Once you've fired a few grenades (I hadn't changed the ammo quantity from the original clip) the equipment pile in the skyranger will mysteriously explode after a few turns and the grenade clips in the gun will vanish. But I guess this only happens in cases where the grenade has more than one 'clip', so to say. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkeylord Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 yes nkf, thats the only way i can think of to get the 2 to work together since xcom won't let you use 2 ammo types at the same time...i've tried it with the laser settings with grenades and the grenades won't load or it will only shoot the laser and so on. about the clip thing. i'm not quite sure what you are talking about there. the 40mm grenades only have 1 shot thats why they vanish, but if you said you didn't change them i'm not sure what is wrong with that then. pm me with more details on that area and i'll see what you mean. also if anyone is interested i will be posting Pckview.net up on my webpage, its not pck_view.exe its a new very badass program designed by the same guy that made xcview.net. hehe one neat feature is the ability to open a whole .pck file into one .bmp! thats something i requested from him, and it works wonders. so check the site later tonight for it.

NKF Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Oh, no, it wasn't with any of the mods. I just fiddled around with the type of the item by changing it from a clip into a grenade. I never reset the ammo count, so I got to fire the grenades more than once. However, doing it this way seems to activate its timer somehow, and then an explosion occurs on the equipment pile in the Skyranger. You can probably test this yourself by editing the grenades so that they have more than one 'bullet', then fire a few rounds after loading them into a gun and wait a few turns. For no reason at all, there will be an explosion on the equipment pile in your Skyranger, and all the grenades that are loaded in that gun will disappear. I'm not exactly sure why the explosion happens on the equipment pile, but I'm guessing that since the grenade doesn't technically occupy any physical space on the map (it's in a gun, it's not on the map), the game just defaults the explosion on the equipment pile. I suppose this is reason enough to leave the ammo count for the grenades alone. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkeylord Posted May 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 hehe that sounds like fun! maybe i'll have a rookie "stand guard" at the pile and have him report any unusual actions disturbances the pile may create.......hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Demi-Godly One Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 I had that problem when editing too, but does anyone know how to change the names of equipment? For me it only changes in mid-battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkeylord Posted May 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 well you have to change the english.dat and english2.dat files, read more about it in the editing section of this page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkeylord Posted May 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 ok, well i didn't post the program up. the creator made a web page, i will link it from mine soon but for all those who just want to go check it out the address is https://members.cox.net/daishiva/ both of them require that .net thingy, but it is way worth the download. these editors kick more ass that a 6 legged donkey!

Munkeylord Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 i'm debating on weather to make new laser weapon pictures. just wondering what anyone would think would be nice to see or how to make the heavy laser.....well more efficient and useful. ideas would be greatly appreciated since i have no idea what a "laser" rifle would look like......technically. any good movies out with badass laser rifles in them?

Jman4117 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Give Heavy Laser 255 damage, auto shot, and 3% TU cost for auto (opperates at light speed) :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkeylord Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 lmao, i've tried that before. its alittle bit over kill..........for the aliens but the tu cost was 0% for me and the accuracy was topped out as well as power. it makes the game way to easy. and thats putting it lightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Just a thought.Tried it once; gave rifle 100 rds of 255 HE. Nuked the map in one turn. But seriously the best thing for the Heavy Laser would be and auto shot, same goes for the tanks(revolving barrels) and the standard pistol(would make nice Uzi). Also the laser weapons look unusually bulky (maybe its batteries or something). Need advanced power source in the grip to cut down on size and wieght. Could make Heavy Laser similar in size to the Laser Rifle and mention that it has a carbon fiber stock, titanium parts, and micro fusion power source.

Jman4117 Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Could have a gun than is single shot that is used to blow holes in UFO's (30mm anti tank cannon). It would keep the game fair if you could only use AP and the shot takes 90% TU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkeylord Posted May 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 lol, but the only problem with that is that i'm not quite sure if AP ammunition will punch a hole in a ufo, i'll have to test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I think any of it will if the damage is high enough(not stun or smoke)Did it with heavy cannon 150-200 damage, think I breached the hull in two shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 About the tank thing I mentioned earlier:Take an existing tank give it 120 TU's, reduce it's armor to about half, and give it a chain gun. Have a speed for armour trade off. Could be used as a heavy recon vehical (HRV as aposed to HWP). Edit: Also need to reduce damage to something like the rifle (have a 7.62 NATO chain gun) to avoid overkill (no Nuke tanks with 255 HE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeFireLight Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 lol, but the only problem with that is that i'm not quite sure if AP ammunition will punch a hole in a ufo, i'll have to test it out.the side walls of a ufo have a armor rating of 100.to put that inperspecive the woden wall in a barn have a rating of 12and the innerwall of a ufo have a rating of 80 they take a beating and will cost you more ammo than it is worth... plus you have to hit it with somthing that can do more than 100 points of damage to even dent it's "hit points" of around 180. -Blade FireLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
