[[Micah]] Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 A few updates to xcomufo are long overdue, but I either can't find the stomach (Apoc) or the time (TFTD) to do them, so I'm soliciting assistance for the following pages: Apocalypse I have played this game a total of... 15 minutes, if you include the demo (12 of this was spent trying to launch a vehicle WITH soldiers in it) so I don't know where to start of most of these pages. Game Info Page - images and some commentary.Strategies Page - this can be a random collection of tips, or a comprehensive step-by-step survival guide.Saves Page - Just link to the forum? TFTD Strategies Page - this can be a random collection of tips, or a comprehensive step-by-step survival guide.Saves Page - Just link to the forum? Only the actual content (text, images) are needed. I'll do the layouts similar to the UFO Defense pages. I'll be updating all the faq pages with some of the recent fixes that have surfaced. Off the top of my head, I know I need to add info about dosbox. Can anyone think of anything else? Does Apoc work with dosbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo Dojo 58 Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I could help out with the Apocpaedia. I wanted to know, what picture format do you want? Apoc has over a hundred entries for it's Apocpaedia, so it's going to be huge. I could get the files in .PCX format, using Apoc's built-in screenshot feature. (Alt-P or Ctrl-P, I forgot which) Then .rar them and send them to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 If you want them as jpg's Micah I can convert them over for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) There aren't much editors for apoc, those there are can all be found here (well, almost all of them perhaps ) : http://www.dwcs.net/xcom3/ For the strategies, there's a 'beginner apocalypsts!' thread that has pretty much what you want I guess... http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2318 for the images I could recommend ACDSee, it has an 'explorer' where you can just mass resize/convert the images. apoc is runable with DOSbox, but it's not guaranteed to work. Check the compatability page here : http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/comp_list.php?letter=Xyou could check this thread for DOSbox : http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2989 Edited April 22, 2004 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J'ordos: I use a handy program called xnview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 yeah, I figured ACDSee wouldn't be the only one that would have that feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted March 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Yes, but xnview is freeware and still loaded with unbelievable options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robo Dojo 58 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Facehugger, Crus8r, and Supsuper are doing some really nice work on their online games. Maybe you should link the pics and commentary to their threads. Strategies are scattered all throughout the forums. Maybe a few volunteers could provide some links to those posts. (Especially NKF's posts. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 SupSuper's online flash game IS part of xcomufo. It's up in the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puasonen Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) SupSuper's online flash game IS part of xcomufo. It's up in the menu.I think he means the "forum members in x-com game POSTS" Supsuper plays enemy unknown with our names in it.Crus8r plays tftd with our names in it.Facehugger plays apocalypse with our names in it. You're in at least one of them so you should know about these Edited March 24, 2004 by Puasonen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl. Facehugger Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Well, I err haven't been able to get apoc to work the past couple of days. Not that it really matters as the only computer that will run it has no modem at the moment (stupid DSL not working! I'm stuck with a 56k until saturday! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
