    Woo..
    I'm ahead, I'm a man
    I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
    I'm at peace with my lust
    I can kill 'cause in God I trust, yeah
    It's evolution, baby

    [...]
    Do The Evolution - Pearl Jam                             

    My first MOD for the game. I decided to do something for those who can not[or just do not want to] compile the unstable dev version. This is a fan MOD and has nothing to do with plans/changes of the developer team. The dev team can but DOES NOT have to incorporate these changes into the main game as some changes are obviously unbalanced or just stupid ;). Use this mod at your own risk, usually there is no support for modified programs as no quality can be assured.

    Install info: The attached file should be unzipped to the following directory:
    <your game directory>\base\ufos
    i.e.
    E:\Games\UFOAI-2.2.1\base\ufos

    Change log:
    Quote

    *reserved*

    TO DO:
    - add a power armour
    - get rid of most side-arms as they are not used at all
    - suggestions?

    The machine pistol really should be the standard sidearm. I use it to great effect all the time as a backup for a heavy weapon guy.

    I have never used the semi-auto pistol, and only once the cut down shotgun.

    That is exactly the feeling I get. I want to cut down all side-arms except the semi-machine gun as it is the only worth having. Later plasma pistol takes its role nicely.

    I like the machine pistol and I get a chuckle whenever I actually get to use it to gun down some alien mook. Works great on the Taman.

    Hey I am having a problem with sniper rifles. One mission my MK 1 rifle just disappeared before the beginning of the map (ammo stayed) and when I buy a sniper rifle (not sure which one) it is redded out.

    The Mk. II should only be producable, you can not buy them.

    A weapon is red when you have a piece of the weapon but you have not produced an ammo unit for it. I had a problem with the ammo Mk. II for bolter rifle. The bolter was red till I did not produced also one or two units of ammo Mk. I. Then in mission I could reload with the exploding ammo and use it normally.

    I will look into it this evening. In the middle of the week I usually have only time to edit things, no playing nor testing cause my wife needs the PC more.

    I just checked, it works on my machine. Did you have the corect ammo for it? It requires the 'Upgraded sniper rifle magazine', not the normal ammo.

    open ufos 7zip or something, its an archive file after all.

    I tried to implement your mod to version 2.3 (simply put your file into the extracted ufos dir) and i got a lot of undefined stuff and the error "maximum objects exeeded"...any idea how to make your mod work for 2.3??
