XCOM General - /xcg/

Aww yiss

I post from 2 IPs regularly per thread.

I still don't understand why the XCOM EU Tier 1 Ports work for me and not the Tier 2/3 ones, even after I unlocked Tier 2/3.

Do you think it has something to do with outfit manager?

I can't say I understand the mechanics of any of it since I'm not a programmer, but it sounds straight forward enough to me?
>cvtres.exe has a dependency failure on msvcr100_clr0400.dll
>This .dll is shipped with VS 2010 RTM, and gets updated with VS 2012 RTM or when you install .NET Framework 4.5
>If you update to 2010 SP1 the dependency error is resolved
So basically that .dll is built to work with cvtres.exe a certain way, but when you get an updated version of the .dll the .exe doesn't support it anymore. So you need a newer copy of the .exe that supports a newer copy of the .dll. That's how I read it anyways.

I guess it's more the fact that I had to google it from

>1>MSVCRTD.lib(cinitexe.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'msvcrt.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
>1>LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt
The obscene way I understood windows to work was that it created copies of DLLs for every time a product/project/program wanted to change them so it wouldn't disrupt the functioning of other programs/systems using them. Just weird for them to deviate from that paradigm.

I'm mostly annoyed that my free copy of VSC++ won't work for openxcom anymore.

Yeah, Steam installs a copy of .NET as well as other stuff with pretty much any game I install just for that reason. I can see what you meant now though, that error is fairly indecipherable without Googling.

That's a problem with people who make websites too. If they put in error descriptions at all they're usually still not all that helpful all the time.

Well holy fuck, they're up to free Visual Studio Community version 2015 now. I guess I will try that.

Actually let me predict what will happen here. Instead of telling me I need VS2010 SP1, they will tell me I need W7 SP5 or whatever. Or whatever Windows Authentication tool they want filthy code pirates to install. And I will still end up having to go back to my shit ass laptop.

I don't have the outfit manager and the ports work for me.

So, i dunno

cyclops mod when

At least three of them are me. Not 10% user

Holy shit, are you targeting me now?

They do it on purpose to ensure job security. Today's techs are yesterday's alchemists.

It also gives jobs to others, specifically level 1 or level 2 tech support. People call or e-mail in frustrated with the terrible error messages. Thanks lazy programmers!

I have to take it back, I was absolutely wrong. Have started up and begun to compile with no problems yet.

Aside from many
>Unknown compiler version - please run the configure tests and report the results
warnings, which after a quick google don't look significant.

Knock on wood.

They should afflict other programmers with the same memory problems I have. If I don't take notes, leave comments on the spec, or leave sensible error messages for myself, I'd be defenseless against my boss or others coming to me and saying, wtf, why doesn't this work?

>1>MSVCRTD.lib(initializers.obj) : warning LNK4098: defaultlib 'msvcrt.lib' conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
>1>SDLmain.lib(SDL_win32_main.obj) : warning LNK4217: locally defined symbol _fprintf imported in function _ShowError

Haha, ok, that's enough for me for one day.

>>I wonder how many of those were just people posting from different devices though.

Intriguing.

I do post for two different places.

>16 enemies in one mission
>scientist extract mission

>don't even have all my plasma weapons yet

I started seeing that shit in Legend too. I didn't even have predator armor yet, mag weapons. It was brutal, and I hated it. The no pred armor was completely my fault though, I sold too many corpses since I forgot it was 12 of them to upgrade. Still, damn.

Has LWS fixed LW Toolbox's Hidden Potential yet?

the playable aliens mod still works?

Do you lose the region if you skip those missions?

I think you only lose regions if you skip terror missions.

I feel like I've lost a region just for failing counsel missions before.

Skipping Supply and Saucer raids will trigger the Resistance too.

shit m8, i can't even make the toolbox interface show up in my games

its such bullshit too

are you looking in the right place

edit options

You mean Shaken resetting your will? No.

so youve let the more advent dark event fire?
or it was just reinforcements

yes

i go into options while at the avenger and it's fucking not THERE. it won't show up, it used to at one point but then stopped whenever a mission came up, but now it just won't work at all and i dont fucking get it.

i've verified my cache and deleted my config file at least fifty goddamn times and it doesn't work desu

Neither. Just a normal mission.

Mods are a nice things

Hey lads, I noticed some user mention perk roulette for LW Perk Pack but didn't see any mention of it on its Workshop page.

Is it in roulette mode by default or do I need LW Toolbox for it?

...

It's so pretty.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I love the airgame in the original.

Don't expect anything from your troops.

how shit can you be?

>ever taking less than 85% shots

Oh, how convenient. Thanks!

>Expecting to hit shots between 85 to 99% accuracy
What are you, a regular lottery winner too?

nah but I tend to get at least 1 successful shot when shooting above 85%

>not taking any shot that has dubs as percentage
Nigga you'd be suprised how many 11% and 22% shots land

yes
on you

I really like how it shows the hacking display on the wrist even before it zooms in.

>all this porn with sneks
>there isn't that much sfw R A R E sneks to post anymore
wew. Snekposting is coming to an end

It is a shame, but we can find other things.

Last rare i found

What other things ?

I hate how the Skulljack looks holographic

Give me a brutal fucking braindrill

Do they team up with the good guys in XCOM 2 or something?
Or are they "your enemy is my enemy so let's be friends" or something?

No, they just don't exist.
Exalt scum isn't even canon lmao

XCOM 2 isn't even canon tbqhwyf

It's just Jake's fanon

>tfw i enjoy Xcom 2 but getting mods to work on pirated game is pain in the ass
So what is the absolutely cheapest way to buy the game

$35 if you pay $1 for the 2k bundle from humble bundle, it gives you a 40% off coupon for xcom2

aight thanks

...

What is this babby's first photoshop filter shit? It hurts my eyes.

it's called getting a job you useless neet

>Find OpenXcom
>Have fun
>Try modern Xcom
>Toaster lags on menus
Guess I'll try more OpenXcom mods instead.

bought it for 20 bucks from one or the other

I'm using user's Clusterfuck Roulette mod, what's up with all Colonel unlocks being Blast Padding, Lightning Reflexes and Conceal, and it automatically picks Lightning Reflexes?

JULIAN

True... but then what is EU?

The anime version of 94com.

But 94 com is anime. It was just early and not all the animation and budget was there so they had to make up for it in other ways.

pretty cute senpai

These would 100% die in the very first fight.

Why do you say that? noting they are anime girls doesn't count

Not having proper trigger discipline
Not having enough body mass to comfortably hold a gun
Being underage
>women in the military
And like you said, they are anime girls.

Every play-through Verhoeven manages to pull off some crazy shot or clutch crit. Every single playthrough.

>Hidden Potential!
>Deep Cover
>Grenadier
May as well not even get a freaking hidden potential.

>kills: 50/57
What does that mean exactly?

>Sharpshooter
Shit-tier waifu.

in short: its how close a soldier is to a promotion

Interesting. But does that mean you don't have an accurate straight up kill count now?

>Multiple 90% misses in row
>Enemies crit through heavy cover losing best and third best on the mission
>Oh, but here you go, we'll let you one hit crit the last two opponents
T-t-thanks Jake.

never considered that before but i think you are right since it merges assists with kills

if you want you can use this one instead:

Mod?

I mean, if you mean the bucket on his head, I think there was a dress Tygan mod a while back. Can't remember what it was called.

There was an user who released a really cool rail gun mod in the last thread;

Any word on the spark laser cannon some user requested?
