Once we complete such Missions (most likely a maximum of four times per games).. their subsequent Red-Pips removal --Animation-- (with sounds effects, etc) isn't processed. IIRC, Vanilla had this feature.

Is there any easy & direct way to clearly know that any given upcoming (as in -- already detected) Missions * WILL * be of a ---Snare--- type? Right now.. these are meant to draw us into a trap by surprise -- but this feature simply nullifies the "Strategic" impact of our regular decis...

OH -- but my objective wasn't to alter the generic balance involved in using Rockets. The only "principle" my edit touches is the penalties for the post-movement aspect & the number of Rolls that add too much unpredictable results. Perks still apply under such conditions -- only better...

Once you start forgetting about the inherent Maths or various implicit code mechanics that enforce any given range of scattering effects.. all that remains is the generic impression of a modern weapon that jitters constantly for every good or bad reasons you can think of. Gameplay wise though -- it ...

As for rookies, maybe increasing of rate of recruiting? Or passive recruiting of 2-3 rookies per month? Better yet.. just alter the basic Startup value from the very first line of -- XComGameCore.INI -- like this; NUM_STARTING_SOLDIERS= 32 ;20 Most of my games are fine with 12 more than the default...

Don't worry LY, it's the language barrier that i often misuse since i'm of Quebec/French origin.. so sometimes, i really screw up whatever English phrasing i'm trying to convey. The important thing to know is that those DELTA evaluations are simple math principles that determine which high/low value...

GLOBAL_ALERT_ DELTA _PER_EXTRA_FACILITY The main colored DELTA hint is related to the VB/C++ mnemonic that means indirect "FloorMath" calculations. In coding principle at least.. this sort of variable can reach max but only according to feed-through parameters that can't floor it to a MIN ...

I'd certainly approve of that simple "IGNORE" button you suggest.. if only to rapidly discard these "silly" less-than-one-or-two-days instances. The heavy cluttering has to be tamed one way or another. Not sure how difficult it would be create whatever alternate "systems&quo...

Just wanna say -- excellent work so far on that Wiki article. :D I too am always digging through the game files to find specific details to integrate as facts within my LAByrinth mod.. but it still takes time & patience & maybe, some lucky finds (During own gameplay or catching great streame...

BTW, to get more information in the XCOM Archives, you could install the mod LAByrinth. :) Thanks for the swift reminder about that highly complex work of mine.. it's a good tool to have in anyone's arsenal of known facts! ;) PS; The upcoming version (just waiting for their v1.3) will expand a few ...

Please refer to this snapshot... http://s15.postimg.org/6sacob757/Events_Tracker_16_MAX.png PS; Don't mind the custom Icons shown.. these will be simply offered by my qUIck_LW2 mod once v1.3 gets released. Really don't know how difficult it would be to alter this maximum of 16 Icons at once.. but si...

Honestly.. until JL & devs actually DECIDE to alter the current pace of the Doom Tracker, we still can fiddle a bit with the essential trajectory (or patterns) in various INI files. The major component can be found in XComGameData ; ------------(From Line #261)----------- ;Days until first point...

Honestly.. if i had to "ask" for a new feature in the Barracks List that could add supplemental details in those --Status-- fields.. it would be more than just fiddling with the Infiltrating string. -- Adding the "SquadIcons" as a prefix symbol (32x32?) to that text line would be...

Facility Hunt?? Just curious.. what was wrong with it during your games? Cuz -- i DO have this cool set of RealityMachina's JOBs (Manufacture + Liberate + Guerilla.. too) & everything seems OK . :? Geee.. look at one of my most recent stack of pending Missions (Event Tracker) on the fifth teaser...

OS/Details... Control-Panel // Advanced System Properties // Performance Parameters // Advanced Tab // Second option Button... You'll then get approximate Windows "Recommendations" as evaluated from the available RAM & various system settings like Hard-Drive(s.. some people have more t...

I have pretty much the same opinions as you just wrote.. There's also this VERY juicy new thing; -------- [QuickStudy X2AbilityTemplate] LocFriendlyName="Quick Study" LocLongDescription="Learn officer and AWC bonus abilities in half the time." -------- Good .. less idle time(s) f...

FIXED it! Might be a wild lucky event related to Win-OS and its Virtual Memory (Paging) settings... but i've re-adjusted their recommended value from about 8400-MB to exactly 12261 -MB. That special configuration aspect wasn't checked for nearly two years by me.. so it may just have screwed up both...

Rationally, the only alternate gameplay structure that would probably meet your "needs" for a different ending pace could very well be my in-coming (MAS) Achievement package called "GOTM" (Game of the Month). It completely wraps up the challenge(s) into a somewhat compressed sche...

* For some reason the user uses a local copy of a mod depending on LW2 and a workshop version of LW2 (local copies get loaded first) That is precisely my situation.. and i simply can't find what could be done to properly setup such a tricky Loading-Process while LW2 does its regular updates **BEFOR...

I once had a wild trio of Shinobis available each with Bladestorm!
And.. tried that Park-trick near a drop-flare too.

Really love(d) the sound of multiple free consecutive slashing metal blades in the morning!!

Also, why 1 on supply? Isn't that a complete waste? True.. but it's most likely happening when my Havens have 10+ Rebels. Yet, the trick with acquiring MANY rebels rapidly.. is that Advent Strength(s) tends to push attention to these regions to match me. I still have to find a somewhat balanced way...

I think adding more variance to mission detections could help with this, or just generally increasing time remaining on activities. I certainly could settle for this indirect solution to an otherwise "clugged" pattern of badly low times to infiltrating in rational conditions -- aside from...

Easy.. grab one of the Workshop Mods that already offer such additional SQI & inspect the actual modding principles involved. Generally speaking, you'll need to create two specific assets and insert them into a default ModBuddy template; 1) Custom UPK Library file that would host your Icon files...

Rebels are MAXED in most regions for the better part of early months in my games already & i STILL get impossible odds to reach a mission site in time even while stealthed. My point with this is rationally intended to give slightly more control over the decisions we should (or could) take to gai...

That's really a frustrating aspect of that wicked gameplay principle.. we **MUST** suffer through a waste-bucket-load of skipped missions (the RNG can furthermore stick a tongue when such attempts are VERY important opportunities -- Bad Luck? BullShit!!) simply from the fact it's just impossible to ...
