dreadylein Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Hi Just put together a quick and dirty solution so people can start modding. Put the modpatcher.exe and the DefaultGameCore.mod in the Xcom\binaries\win32 directoryWhen executed it will copy the original file as xcom-modded.exeThen it will patch the new settings provided by DefaulGamecore.mod into xcom-modded.exe Download 0.1 outdated If you find a bug let me know, its a dirty way but it should work for now. If you are curious feel free to decompile it, no obfuscation. Edit: Found a heavy bug, back to 0.1 i guess :/ Update: The Patcher will backup the original file as xcom-orginal.exeThen the provided mod file will be patched into the XComGame.exeThis should solve the Problems with steam Patcher accepts mod file as commandline arg e.g.modpatcher test.mod will patch the provided test.mod into the binaryStart the Game within steam should work now Added sample Batchfile Download 0.11 outdated Update: Download 0.12 Fixed Backup Management so it wont copy a Modified binarie over the backupPatcher will now use backup files as modbase if it find an backupAdded Logging, will log to log.txt As there are many changes this version could make problems, if you encounter any please leave a message :) As requested Dropbox DL Download 0.12 Dropbox Edited October 14, 2012 by dreadylein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micalov Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 No clue if this works or do I have Xcom, but for any one worrying about downloading a strange file only linked on the forums but this is the results from online scan using multiple virus scanners showing no dodgy results. GL with the tool hopefully Xcom modding will pick up with extra tools being made :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreadylein Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks falloutbr :) @all the people who downloaded it, it would help if you could give me just a little feedback, if you encounter a problem say it, if you dont encounter a problem say it.Dont have a clue if this even works at other pcs which is quite frustrating after over 100 Downloads ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenLJN Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I get the "Error@copy" it seems it failed to mod, can you help me with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falloutbr Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well, the 0.1 version worked like a charm for me... I used it to change a few parameters like Skyranger capacity and starting soldier number and no problems so far. I am using Windows 7 with the steam version, along with the new patch that came out on the 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Really nice work. Any chance once you're comfortable you could upload it to XCOM Nexus? It would provide a central area for comments, download counts and stuff and make it easier for people to find :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadylein Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 I will upload it, but first i have to squash some bugs and add some more error handling :o @Owen Which Version do you use ? Whats the directory of your xcom installation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
