X-Com Mod?

leo1434 · #1 February 23rd, 2003, 10:10 AM

Hello Taera!

Thanks for asking, friend! I was wandering why nobody seemed to care about this project.

The status is as follows:

I am writing notes about a lot of ideas that are coming out of my mind.

I am trying to complete a shipset (with some non standard pics) using as much of the original X-Com images as it�s possible. The fighters are ready, also the pop portraits, some troops, drones and assorted small other units. Don�t know how to make desings for all the warship and support ships. I suppose I will use some other ship desings and modify them (have to ask for permission!) I have no knowledge of graphic edition programs, I'm using Windows Paint, Irfan View and a little of ACD See v4.01 to adapt images I have stored in my HD, but I am just learning to use them. Help is always welcome! When you see what I have done may be you can make some suggestions or give me some help!

I will post tomorrow a file with what it is done at present.

After the shipset, it comes what is more complex: Components (I made some new comps pics, I think they are good), TechAreas, Mounts, etc... I am editing a log file with my ideas, which I will also post for everyone to read. Fortunately I'm not out of ideas.

Wait for news, the proyect is going at full speed ahead!

See you all at X-Com Central !!

Attention to all!

I have uploaded two files with what it is done at present about the X-Com mod. They are mostly the images (for the shipset, components and an important facility). There are some txt files too (a rough text with some ideas and credits for the sources of images) Feel free to make comments and suggestions. Feedback and help is always welcome.

You can look for the files at the Data/Sound/ Graphic thread

leo: for some reason i cannot seem to be able to download the files you put Online. Would you care to e-mail me @ thachi@solar-outpost.com with these images? (all of them - cant download anything)

No problem, partner, Iwill send the files righ now.
And please feel free to upload and/or send the files to everybody. Maybe is a problem of my Pc the reasonyou can not dowload the files, and perhaps others will not be able to download either. So, can you upload them for me in case of more problems?

Thanks!

Yeah. Me too. If I try and download any of your .zip files, I get a zero byte file. I don't even get an error message. All the other downloads work fine.

Now, I think it is confirmed, my Pc is not working right. It is some java related problem...

Well, Taera: Would you like to upload the files I have sent you for me please?

Thanks!

News:

I modified the Pictures/Components and Pictures/Facilities Files and integrated them in the Components.bmp (the one with the small pics) file!

Now they have "compilant" comp numbers. Anyone interested in helping with the upload?

I still have Internet Explorer problems and I don�t think I will be able to upload any file (****ty windows!).

Anyone wishing to help? Someone could download the previous posted files? What any of you think about?

Waiting for comments...
