GabrielCoghlan Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Got a couple questions... If you don't have a steam version, how do you use this? :P I would really like to be able to use this, but I keep getting this: 0:17:4 Startup0:17:4 steampath d:/program files/steam0:17:4 steampath d:/program files/steam0:17:4 checkcp return false0:17:4 steampath d:/program files/steam0:17:4 steampath d:/program files/steam0:17:5 File not found0:17:5 steampath d:/program files/steam0:17:5 steampath d:/program files/steam0:17:5 File not found0:17:5 path vars org: no way no way0:17:5 steampath d:/program files/steam0:17:6 steampath d:/program files/steam0:17:6 File not found0:17:6 updateres var: no way0:17:6 getmodfile: DefaultGameCore.mod0:17:6 done Is there some way to change the path for non-steam versions?

GabrielCoghlan Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Aha! I figured it out. I didn't realize that I had to copy the modpatcher files directly into my win folder of my install. All is working now. I apologize for any wasted time spent and anyone following this topic. ~GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alatar1313 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Is anyone having success using modpatcher since the update hit? Every time I try to modpatch my meddled defaultgamecore.mod, it crashes and I have to restore the backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endersblade Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) So I had a question. I made a personal mod way back in the original release of the game; just an edit of the defaultgamecore file within the EXE. I just today re-downloaded and installed XCOM, came here, and noticed all this talk about editing UPK files, running all sorts of installers/patchers/etc to mod the game...if all I want to change is what's in the defaultgamecore ini within the EXE, is this Modpatcher all I need? or do I need an additional step? I see the DefaultGameCore.mod is just the ini file in .mod form, cool, so I just edit that, run the Modpatcher, and I'm good to go? I used to use the Resource Hacker program, I'd just edit said file within the EXE and be on my merry way. Is that not possible anymore? I've read all...what, 17 pages? Of this thread, and I'm getting all sorts of mixed messages. Edited December 8, 2012 by endersblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other tools being developed, but at the moment Modpatcher should be the best choice for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since modpatcher hasn't been working for me today since the patch went through, I've been using Resource Hacker. It still works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of the Dunmers Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Yes :) Hopefully it works with the latest patch. It doesn't :wallbash: - you must go offline ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakous79 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 It doesn't :wallbash: - you must go offline ...I like Steam online, so using edited hosts to prevent phone home. It is kind of automatic thing for me. Is anyone having success using modpatcher since the update hit? Every time I try to modpatch my meddled defaultgamecore.mod, it crashes and I have to restore the backup.No problem here. Increased +20 health on kevlar armor and patched with Modpatcher fine.

It is kind of automatic thing for me. I also have 2 entries in my hosts file to block their servers and also have the game set to not automatically update through steam...but it still did it anyway.

Drakous79 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Because of new patch - Slingshot hotfix. Don't know, if Firaxis included anything other in it like teleporting aliens fix. What is not working for you with new patch and Modpatcher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
