j'ordos Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 When I take a look at my soldiers list, I notice there are about 3 soldiers which are assinged to a craft called "alien-corpse-xxx" (x is a number) and when i look at the soldiers I can assign to my skyranger they aren't there!

Judge_Deadd Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 They're investigating reaper's digeation system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 (edited) hmm, using reapers as transport... Perhaps something for xenocide :wink: better have some crazy cowboys recruited then .They'll need more than a bullwhip to tame those Edited June 18, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted June 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 okay, so now I have this too with my skyranger, it's called the alien corpse-001, it has the image of a hyperwave decoder without the walls (looks like a UFO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted June 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 (edited) erm.. things are getting quite out of hand, When I launch my alien corpse, it just goes flying somewhere, until an ufo comes, it automatically chases the ufo, but never attacks it? if I even dare to click on it or open the intercept window, the game crashes. While it was chasing the ufo, I checked my fighters via the equip craft button, and suddenly my alien corpse was named terror ship 001, cool but the game crashed when I clicked it... probably been messing around too much with the damn thing... EDIT : wait I found out some more... So my alien corpse automatically receives the name of whatever ufo is flying around, so when my medium scout 001 was chasing the ufo without attacking it, I found out it was moving to the same destination of the ufo(pre-warning if they are attacking your base ). here's the savegame (n°4) if anyone's interested, but not sure if it works, and you might screw xcom... :whatwhat: EDIT : grab the .zip below instead...

Judge_Deadd Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Dead reapers can't attack other UFOs. Explanation to the "get-the-name-of-nearby-ufo" bug: alien corpse crew noticed that terror ship is far more powerful than hunk of rotting corpse, so they grabbed their tool kit and quickly build another terror ship.

Mark0 Posted June 28, 2003 Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 i doubt renaming your soldier wil ldo some changes.you need to chaneg the code. i once downloaded an xcom ( dos version) it had a saved game that you were the aliens, on a terror site against humans.so it is possible to play as aliens, but you must play with the code.

j'ordos Posted July 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 it's a .rar file, extract it with winrar...thanks btw i once downloaded an xcom ( dos version) it had a saved game that you were the aliens, on a terror site against humans.so it is possible to play as aliens, but you must play with the code. you can flip sides using xcomutil (but only in battlescape) BTW, what happens if your terror ship gets first? nothing, it just stays there using up fuel, but never runs out of it, just keeps flying around at 0% fuel...

c4t Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 yeahhhh, ok, your skyranger is named allien corpse. and you base baffles me... you have a lift and then every other grid is filled with living quarters. and you have 100,000,000,000 dollars... i am going to continue my investigations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4t Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 the money is real... it goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4t Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 sorry for my post spamming, but who cares? anyway, ommm...... i just was fast fowardign it by days, and you keep getting a terror mission, and eveyr time you try to intercept, as you said, it crashes. then i ignored that, and the month went by and il ost a bounch of points. then something came up and said my undefended base was destroyed.... this doesnt make sense because there were soldiers there. it does make sense now because i didnt notice that your "alien corpse" was in the air. ok, you can equipt your crafts with laser cannons... where the heck did you get those from? hehe, you can buy 250 soldiers with your huge living room space, but there isnt enough transfer force availible to trasfer all at once . i think thats it on my mission yo for no yo dawg. yo.

Oh yeah, I now remember I started that game by loading a savegame that's not there, if you get me (if not, just load a game where you haven't saved one before )You start out without a base that way, but not (don't worry, you'll get it if you try it, unless I'm the only one with that bug ) Edited July 4, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Ive had corpses appear in the pre-quip screen before starting a ufo recovery before, but never had my soldiers change names. Quite funny really, I gave the corpse to one of my men to test it and sure enough, there it was in his backpack on the fiest round. Also, talking of 'men' and soldier's name, I discovered that one of my best 'men' was actually a woman yesterday when 'he' got wounded. 'He' was called James Green, and I guess once 'he' was wearing a Power Suit I couldnt tell the sex. I just gave the soldier a name and carried on. I wonder how many of my soldiers have the wrong sex name? :whatwhat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
