Love the mod, makes the game really more polished.

HATE how you handled grenades and 2h weapons however.

If I wanted to change the rank names, what file would I find them in. Thank you.

I've been using your (very nice) mod for about three days now and recently ran into an issue where every time one of my guys goes down, they get killed. 7 of 7 people who have gone down over the last few missions have died. Am I experiencing an anomoly or is there a chance that the mod locks in "kill" mode?

[PhoenixD]

Probably just bad luck. I haven't seen any bug to that effect yet.

Fantastic mod guys - I was getting ready to abandon this game in disgust at yet another bafflingly failed attempt to clone X-COM (seriously, it can't be THAT hard) when I found it, and now the gameplay is getting very close to making up for the graphics . Nice save!

What are your plans for the next release? As in, what features are you planning to add and when can I get my hands on it?

That was one of the reasons I stopped using the mod, it seems far too 'fatal', nobody seems to end up just injured at all. I actually prefer the vanilla ET system regarding grunt casualties and replacements; it's more challenging as you progress, but doesn't leave you totally screwed having nothing but green troops as the difficulty of the missions gets harder - and has more of that 'my guys' feeling. When you lose a whole squad it really hurts, which really hikes up the tension during a desperate bid to 'flee' if the whole mission goes pear shaped - it's actually great game design.

Talking of which, is there any chance that the mod could include an installer to let you pick and choose what you want? The zoom in/out is great but most of the rest I don't want.

[LarkinVB]

Try Bmans mod instead. You can pick what you want ingame.

[Decepticons]

Looks like it was just a run of bad luck.

Does anyone know if this mod works with the new patch?

[Nowheredan]

So is this mod dead? On hold? Merging with Bman/Frankenmod? Give us an update!

[Iskandar]

dead, apparantly.  i'd merge what was useful into my mod, but nothing really useful is left that Bman and Mori has not already covered.  I'm really sortry, too, as this mod was the first mod I tried, and the first that got me exited about the game again.
