Compatibility between Long War and other mods

[wghost81]

pat_sch, since LW inserts pause into different function, it remains compatible with Geoscape Pause mod. I don't know how to better classify this one: may be an alternative mod, compatible with LW?

[DAOWAce]

Notably beta14c(2) doesn't stop when :

1. notification soldier's ready to go into mission again

2. planes repared and ready to intercept UFOs.

 

With the mod installed, Geoscape pauses even with those notifications.

It pauses only when there's active things on the globe (Abductions, terror, base assault, etc).

 

Otherwise, it's really really disruptive having to repeatedly click on 'scan' when 40 soldiers are coming out of fatigue/wounds.

 

I like it auto pausing, but I'd rather it not pause on soldiers, as I'm now at a point where I need to craft a skeleton key to assault the base I discovered and now it's pausing on every single thing when I'm just trying to progress time.

I think that's why LW has other logic for pausing the game. :smile:

Thanks to help me complete the unknown compatibility status.

Hi again.

 

I'm here to point out that the names of the classes in the barracks can be changed by creating a .txt file which can be installed through PatcherGUI.

I tested it and it works perfectly well.

More, Zyxpsilon provided his chosen colors matching with the overall choices he made in his mod and recently posted as well the colors for the armors in the thread (of this mod).

 

XMarksTheSpot provided the code lines, in a discussion between wghost81 and Zyxpsilon.

Here"s the original link : http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1454050-xcom-interface-tweaks/?p=17986229 (click on the Spoiler "show" button).

Use a text editor and paste into the example file furnished with PatcherGUI.

You only have to change the color values in the .txt file before applying it wiht PatcherGUI. Very easy, and PatcherGUI makes it very ergonomic with the "unpatching" possibility (to test different patterns of colors).

 

When downloading ReCoLoRing project, the .txt file is included (with Zyxpsilon's choice of colors).

I provided the link for people who only want the names colors change (without Zyxpsilon mod, but I recommend highly this one).

To wghost81 :

Yes, I know it's compatible, I use it ! :smile:

What I wanted to point out is a clarification about it being inserted (partially) in LW, as it was stated in yellow color (without comment in the brackets when I posted the original message).

 

To DAOWAce :

This is a choice. I only wanted to make clear that Geoscape Pause is in fact only partly inserted in LW B14.

My little brain needs the pausing when soldiers become available for missions, as I delay some of them to wait for some leader/psi trained soldier/officer to be present on the battleground.

Clicking repeatidly doesn't bother me, I prefer that to missing an event.

 

The discussion is not, I suppose, about the preferences of the players, but about, as said by wghost81 above, "LW inserts pause into different function, it remains compatible with Geoscape Pause mod". Not really included in LW.

 

To lexo1000 :

What about inserting the urls in the list to give instant access ?

{url=http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/474/?}XCOM Interface and Gameplay Tweaks{/url} becomes XCOM Interface and Gameplay Tweaks if you replace the {...} by [...].

Yes, I know, some work... But wouldn't it be so practical ? :smile:

 

Sorry for the approximative english.

 

PS : when starting my first LW campain after having played vanilla, I longed for such a thread. Great idea !
