Soldier training

(1/2) > >>

LV476:
Thanks for making this game - I've been playing it for a month now. In the original X-Com wasn't there training options for soldiers? In the present game whenever I get new recruits they are pretty useless in skills -usually Mediocre or Average at best. Are these the best troops around??? I'd like a training option and /or some kind of displayed potential for each to see what each soldier may be best at.

Secondly, is there an accessible file for inputting my own random soldier names or do I just have to change the names when they arrive? Is there any way of adding music tracks to game play?

geever:
Training facility is a planned feature but not implemented. It is not the highest priority now, rather a side feature so probably it won't happen soon (TM) (unless a volunteer pop up and do it).

Soldier names: You can create a directory named ufos under the base directory of the installation folder (where you find some.pk3 files) and put a modified version of this file under that. (Use the same filename to override the packed version). To find your installation directory check our FAQ.

Musics: Like soldier names create music directory and put your files inside in OGG format. MP3 will NOT work most probably.

I hope I could help.

Not to totally hijack the thread but I've been thinking of making my own name file & have a question. Can you make it where certain names come from certain countries based on countries the recruits come from when they come into the pool?

Nope, sorry. There is a FR about that on the tracker for ages IIRC. But it is just such a small detail it never got to the top of the queue..

I solve the soldiers bad stats modifying it at ufo files. In fact, it is supposed that Phalanx uses trained soldiers from the eigth countries of the world, so, a soldier with bad stats is improbable.
