Bogdacutu Posted June 8, 2016 Author Posted June 8, 2016 yes, obb files are just uncompressed archives (in a special format), and they do contain upk files, although with a different extension and in most cases uncompressed too
dubiousintent Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Thanks. The included UPK files have a different extension? That must be confusing to novices. If you have the extensions that are used I'll put a note to that effect in the wiki article. -Dubious-
ExtraneousVariable Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Hi, having trouble with the game crashing after making any changes. Tried extracting the main obb using sewer and then simply compressing again using sewer and even that caused crashing (even though nothing was changed.) Any suggestions on what steps I'm missing?
dubiousintent Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Try leaving them extracted. At least on the PC, the game expects to use "loose" files as well as ones in UPK "packages". As pointed out above, "obb" is just another form of packaging on top of that. More than likely the "obb" file is using a different compression format than sewer's default. But Bogdacutu is the Android expert here. -Dubious- Edited June 10, 2016 by dubiousintent
ExtraneousVariable Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Got it working, thanks. Tried it on another pc and for some reason it worked better there. I must have missed some step the first time. I also found it easier to keep the ini tweaks the same size to avoid messing with the toc. Just delete some characters from a comment to keep the byte size the same.
quam31 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Need some help modding. I followed all steps minus using FixTOC because it keep crash game but doesn't seem like modes a working. I only did edits to the core.ini and none of the edits seem to work. I'm in the U.S so what is the correct region file to edit? So far I did a edit under DEU
dubiousintent Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) "DEU" would be German region. I believe what you want is "INT" (International = English). -Dubious- Edited July 1, 2016 by dubiousintent
Sazaam Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Everything worked perfectly nice for me, from sewer to decryptorã¡encryptor under note5 device, even recompressing into obb without removing the COALESCED_INT folder extracted from the .bin file from same name. Now for key settings they left voluntarily in the xcomgame readable .ini files its all ok, without trying to modifying things that wont make sense for the api. These tweakings helps you have a 50 damage simple pistol, a movable sniper squaddie, reorder perks in the soldiers tree or other quite funny stuff, buy in order to build something serious one would perhaps love to have access to the behavior of things, classes, logics. I still dont get how to make things human-editable, as well as manage to preview any kind of texture. Is all this only editable in UE the monster?If someone has even just a clue, i didny get it, from that forum or other places, a neat modding of the android version would be nice to forge somehow, i dont see xcom losing popularity yet Thx 4 advise~
Sazaam Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Ok im afraid the UE-visualStudio couple is the answer to what I just asked advise for...^^
Nanodoc360 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Anybody still doing mods or work for this? I doo not have a pc anymore and now i am forced to play on my nvidia shield android tv. Like this game but even easy mode is frustrating. I would love to find someone who has added mods or tweaks into their android version of the game that I could possibly download. Thanks.
