Actually, if everything works you shouldn't get the EW/EU popup. TexMod replaces it, which is why you have to point to the exe of the version you want to run.

Unfortunately I have no idea what to suggest, except to ask have you have any anti-virus programs running? They've been known to cause problems with TexMod because of the way the program works, although usually this is obvious because it throws up an error when you try and launch.

Another update? Dr Vahlen and I thank you for your effort to support the XCOM project.
How about making the number of EXALT soldiers killed icon riddled with bullet holes like the alien one?

To be honest I haven't got far enough into the game to encounter EXALT yet... I've been very busy and most of my free XCOM-based time has gone on this mod hehe. I'll add it to the list

Neonin,

 

"Accidentally" found some weird work-around solution that allowed me to activate EW sessions with both Package & Logging modes. Package_Build mode might be validated also... haven't tested it yet.

 

Simply copied TWO TexMod files (renamed as XComLauncher.exe) in both (default_EU & XEW) Binaries/Win32 folders. While the "old" Launcher has been renamed too as indicated by your instructions.

 

Could get in EW through the usual folder-browsing for the proper target executable (XComEW - in this case). The Launcher was simply skipped away and the game began in TexMod fashion with packages available.

 

I suspect that getting everything into EU (only) would involve "deleting" the EW (TexMod-Launcher) file.

 

Very strange... but at least, i can now enjoy some stuff and even create mines!

 

BTW; I've been thinking about creating an additional package for the EVENTS LIST icons. (Wrench_Production, Beaker_Research, Interceptor_Transfer, Anvil_FoundryProject, Globe_Council, etc) -- highly possible since i can actually use TexMod.

That is very odd... but at least you got it working! Package Build mode works whether you've got an executable selected or not, it's separate

I never thought about doing those particular icons, though there's no real reason why not. I did attempt to change the next/previous soldier buttons in the barracks once but they displayed horribly jagged when I tried. I might give it another go though, I had that problem with the "menu" icons during the Tactical portion of the game but the EW update did something to fix that.

I shall look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Hey Neonin! Thanks very much for all the work so far. Really enjoying v2.3.

I've noticed 1 bug in the colour version though: the icon for the Support ability 'Rifle Suppression' shows up dark blue (in the color used for the Heavy class). Can it be that icon for Support 'Rifle Suppression' is somehow overwritten by the icon for the Heavy 'Suppression' ability ?

I shall look forward to seeing what you come up with!

 

Tell me about it! It's been quite a ride -- so far.

 

I have yet to build the TPF for these events... feels sooooooo good to be able to create stuff of my own (also!);

 

 

It's gonna get WILD & CRAZY.

Vanilla problem, they replaced Rifle Suppression with Suppression in EW. No fix for that.

*cough*

- Firaxis changed the Support skill "Rifle Suppression" into "Suppression" and reused the icon for it. This means with this colour version of the mod the Support skill has the same colour and texture as the Heavy skill. I do not currently know of any way to fix this.

Pay attention at the back!

Yeah, I don't know if there's a way of switching back somehow. Amineri and/or johnnylump probably know how to assign icons for skills as it would have been something they did for Long War, but I'm not sure whether it's worth trying to re-replace Rifle Suppression for the sake of one icon

Wow, that's some serious colour! Mind you, that's the advantage of being able to do all these yourself, you can make it exactly as you want
