XCOMUFO & Xenocide

Moddability

Recommended Posts

When washing up today and thinking about TFTD, I was thinking: Many people think TFTD could have just been a mod or expansion for XCom. Now, what if there is a "TFTD-alike" for Xenocide? Like, Xenocide is released on its own, then you can download a "TFTD" Mod, which when unzipped to your xenocide directory, will give you the TFTD campaign.

 

Then there could be others.

 

Custom campaigns with custom geoscapes, custom weaponry, crafts, aliens, ufos, custom everything.

This is not a V1+ issue, Xenocide is already being programmed to be very moddable; for instance, right now all items, combatants and even the research tree are completely moddable, not to mention texts and music. Now a mod that changes the planetview, that would be a different thing and I don't think it's easily doable, but I could be wrong, since it'd need some coding to tell Xenocide what is land and what is sea, for instance.

Seeing as I have zero experience of programming (yet  :fingerscrossed:) would it not be possible to bundle together a file containing the geosphere's map and its properties (eg. water, cannot land here, land, can land here, massive clouds, cannot engage here etc.)

Yup, I guess it is, but I have no clue yet.
