Default X-Com Mod?

Hello guys!

After, seeing about all the mods and tinkering a little with the txt archives (I did some modding to Proportions, added techs, weapons, components, I even think some of them are good original ideas)

I did a fairly detailed log of modifications with what's stolen and what´s original,If someone tells me how, I can upload it, may be it can give some ideas to someone.

Well, after that, I though about creating an X-com Race, I have some ideas about tech and weapons, but I am needing help with AI and images, I have a lot of images of X-com devices, some of them would be nice components, but I don´t know how to incorporate them in the correct file shape/size. Where can I find info on how to make shipsets and new components?

Anyone interested in the idea? Any X-com Players over there? That game is still in my HD and from time to time I play it. It´s great!

I´m waiting for some input on this idea. Thnks!

Yes, X-com 2 was fun, but the first one was better!

hey leo, my full support to you! X-Com rules, a pity i never got Interceptor. Still, all the rest are fun. And yes, X-Com 2 is better but X-Com 1 has that special feel to it.

For the love of God man, post it!

I'd love to see what you did to get an X-Com mod.

As far as uploading goes you just have to go to the new scenario/mod forum and post a reply in one of the appropriate threads (usually data/sound/graphic or AI races/shipsets). There is an upload button to use. When you are done you'll be given a string of computer code/techno-crap to coppy and paste into a messeag here (it provides a convenient link).

As far as the pic sizes and such take a look at the "Important SEIV Information & Stuff" sticky thread at the top of this forum. Scroll down till you see a bunch of links for a lot of good sites. The modding and shipset tutorial should help quite a bit.

Also ACDSee is a great program for adjusting pic sizes etc. You can drab the demo at download.com.

Yeah, a X-Com race would be great. Love these games, still playing them from time to time.
I could offer some experience in AI modding if you are interested.
