Title: Geoscape comment
Post by: microbat on May 06, 2012, 03:58:23 pm

Hi. I have searched a lot for games inspired by the Xcom series and recently I found Alien Invasion.
Having played the 2.4 game, I find it great! There is only one exception:
In the 3d Geoscape mode, we see earth stand still and light rotating.
Although it is astronomically correct to see the universe (stars and sun) rotating, it feels dizzy after a while.
An option to disable sun and stars and see only 3d Earth would be a good option.
Even stop the universe rotation and present a symbolic "false" background (while hours and light still rotates) would be also relaxing for the eye.

We X-com fans, practically live in the Geoscape!
So I like the 3d option so much, i don't want to revert to 2d for any reason.
If there is already an option to hide the universe, please tell me!
Thanks!

Try putting this into /your_ufoai_directory/base/. It will make the background just black. Light/dark from time of day still appear.
