Bugs prior to release 2.4 / soldiers too bright, radar distance on causes too much white light

« on: July 11, 2011, 10:03:39 pm »

i downloaded the 2.4 version, it looks a lot better , there are acouple of things, the graphics are really nice, but all the soldiers look shining white /silver, like too much light on them, i tried playing with the graphic options, anything more than shader1.3 gives me a  black planet geoscape... i dont get it i have  the lastest nvidia gtx 570 with win 7 64,  it is weird because all the static graphics are very detailed and nice, also in geoscape if you press the radar button ( to show extended range of radar ) most of the map gets too shiny and white.

i also get red boxes in the ground combat screen.....

Tactics / experience?

« on: June 26, 2011, 09:23:16 pm »

i pulled the console command, it looks you only gain experience in some kinds of mission(which ones?), not in the crashed ufos where you kill the rest of them, i dont use autoresolve

also stats dont increase much , specially health, and after loads of misions

Windows / no weapons sound on win-64

« on: June 25, 2011, 02:09:27 pm »

i get a horrible cracking noise instead of weapons noise , i run win 64 with a creative labs soundcard, which is  the newer generation, , i get no problems on other games/movies, i think there is a program that makes games compatible with vista and win 7- re sound , i cant remember the name

Discussion / JUST STATING THE OBVIOUS

« on: June 20, 2011, 08:29:40 pm »

hello


Well you guys should be surprised, ( i am ) i have been playing this game non stop for 2 weeks, i played all earlier versions, but not like this, which got me thinking.............

without trying to mess with the "ethos" of  free software,  i was thinking long and hard......


i just paid $30 for a preorder of xenonauts.

similar game, probably not better graphics, only 120 megs of data.........


these days ANYONE IN THE WESTERN WORLD  can pay $30(xenonauts preorder fee),   half of Europe is on benefits, and if not.....

daddy can i have 25 quid for a new pair of shoes?!!!! .


i just wonder really, 30-40 dollars is a days work (after tax),  



all the work the devs of this game are doing is for free, and  a big thanks for the fun game they keep doing .


however  the capitalistic pig in me keeps wondering..... you guys have the skills.... you guys have the talent...... you guys have the maths and physics......


why not capitalize on this ? make a commercial game  and get money from it!!!!!!!

I WOULD BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i said this on many mods forums.... most people make megabytes/gigabytes of data, and get fuck all for it.

we are in an economic crisis my ass!!!!!!!!!!,  people get drunk, smoke, is on benefits and take drugs......  sure......... families are struggling, but $30-40  is 1 days work..

 not a new tv/car......

and this isnt like buying a dvd or a music album, so the producers and "artists" can "break it down" and  enjoy the babes and the bling, this would go towards giving you a better living

standard......



I dont know the complexities of the project, it would need a new engine/graphics/animation...... not a small thing.......


but you would get your money back.......at the very least.


i am not a programer/dev.... but i really think you could make money out of this and make an astounding game that people would buy.....


i am not going to repeat this, i dont want to injure any feelings,  i just think  you should make a buck or two out of this, and that means my money and other peoples money.

people are wasting money, billions of it, on petrol/drinking/cigs/ and shoes ( i do!) ...... money is all around, you should have your share, you have  earnt it......

justice should be served...

enough  said.

Jose Garcia.


ps. im gonna go back and play a bit more...... i am actually subscribed to eve online........ and i only log in to  train my skills.... lol

Discussion / bugs

« on: March 18, 2006, 09:15:04 am »

I have tried to play the game but the equipment for half my squad disappears before the mission, and a lot too after it. so i cant really play it and had to delete it

i am surprised nobody mentions it.

also it would be a good idea if you "lowered" the perspective a bit since it is too high,  it is nearly top down.

otherwise it could be a cracking game
