Anthonyf Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 G'day to one and all,Been playing XCOM forever, (it's my favourite game, of all time).Just wondering if anyone has come up with a mod that would let me use the hats and helmets from ENEMY WITHIN and transfer them into ENEMY UNKNOWN?Help and Advice would be greatly appreciated.Cheers
Krazyguy75 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 That's borderline illegal, so for the most part, we avoid that. You could try it for yourself, but you'd need EW already.
Anthonyf Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 "Borderline illegal".Didn't know that, I do have both EU and EW bought and paid for from Electronic Boutique, all above board, so according to what you've written all MODS are illegal also?
Krazyguy75 Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 No, it's possible, it's just that it involves the adding of DLC to a base product. If you then took the necessary files and modifications and put them up for download, you'd be enabling a form of piracy. We take many step to get as close to "legal" as possible. None of the nexus mods for XCOM are the files containing the game code, only files containing new snippets, which our programs use to undertake modifications to the game. That way, we are only posting modifications, not the actual code; thus nothing truly illegal is being distributed. In your case, that'd still be true, but it's an area similar to multiplayer modifications: We can do it, but we avoid doing it because it could lead to other things we want to avoid.
Anthonyf Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 Krazyguy75,Thanks for that, all that because I wanted my sniper class to wear a baseball cap in EU? :blush:
johnnylump Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 If you wanted to do it yourself, you'd need to figure out which files contain the EW headgear, move them to your EU CookedPCConsole directory, and update your defaultcontent.ini (which has all the headgear assignments) to 'register' the new models with the game. I don't know that anybody's tried and not sure it would work.
Anthonyf Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Johnnylump,Big thanks for that, I'm not a Modder or programmer so the thought of what you've written terrifies me. lol :nuke: :confused:
