drake8888 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Sorry for the total NOOB question here; but I have not found an A - Z post on how to use the wonderful tool, Modpatcher. I gather that you need to take and drop ModPatcher.exe in the following directory Steam/steamapps/common/xcom-enemy-unknown/binaries/win32 Then you also have to have a file in the same directory called: DefaultGameCore.mod Does one just have to open DefaultGameCore.ini in notepad ++, make a few changes, and then save that file as DefaultGameCore.mod? Do you then run ModPatcher.exe ....and you are good to go??? Once again, sorry for the NOOB question, but I thought that others might have the same question and I will take the bullet for all the other NOOBS out there. Thank you for your time and wonderful tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadylein Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Should work yes The Modpatcher needs to be in the same directory with DefaultGameCore.modIt shouldnt be needed to be in the xcom directory , but it wont hurt either :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drake8888 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thankyou both for the quick replies. I felt that a new topic should be posted because trying to read through 10+ pages of posts can be a bit time consuming. The purpose of this post is to give quick and easy reference for a beginner to MOD XCOM Enemy Unknown through the use of the Modpatcher. Dreadylein's comment above is correct and this is just a confirmation of how you can begin modding XCOM Enemy Unknown. I started by downloading and following the instructions in the UFO Rebalance MOD (by Asuzu). The install instructions are easy to follow. (Great MOD.... Arc Thrower as a pistol + much more) UFO Rebalance MOD To further mod the game, follow these steps. Copy DefaultGameCore.mod (this is a file provided by the UFO Rebalance MOD) to a backup locationRename DefaultGameCore.mod to DefaultGameCore.ini (with Windows Explorer)Open DefaultGameCore.ini with NotePad.... Make whatever changes you wish......Save DefaultGameCore.iniRename DefaultGameCore.ini to DefaultGameCore.mod (with Windows Explorer)Copy DefaultGameCore.mod back into...... Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Xcom-Enemy-Unknown\Binaries\Win32Run Modpatcher.exe (this file was placed in the ...\Binaries\Win32 folder in the UFO Rebalance installation) Play the game and enjoy your changes.... Must be in OffLine mode. I hope that this helps those beginners out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
