brian-o Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I was playing as floaters and my opponent said that my floaters looked like human civilians.. also the ethereal has a graphic glitch on top of its head when moving also.. when I chose to not save a replay at the end of a game, it kicks me out of ufo2000 without going to the game stats screen... also, for some reason I can only have 10 soldiers, when I reinstall the beta, the same 10 soldiers are there but only 10..

Llyr Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 your machine seems to be a real magnet attracting all sorts of bugs possible? you always talk about reinstalling the game... do you make really clean reinstalls? (which means deinstalling ALL old stuff before new install, and maybe even manually double checking if there are no files / registry keys left back?) or do you just install anew overwriting the old stuff?

I'll be doing that in a week or so when I get a new computer to install it on.. I have some custom map tiles I've been working on installed in my curent version, and I didn't want to have to reinstall every little thing like add on maps and map tiles and stuff, is there some specific files I should erase?

Kratos Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I have 2 speculations: 1) This has to do with your "new" problem in the other thread. Which could be being caused by your version of xcom?2) I am 90% sure that this is caused by the remote player's xcom version, which I believe is the xcom demo due to that not all the unit files are used in it, namely the ethereal/floaters. I know you would think crc check would prevent this, but since floaters/ethereals are in the internal code and not lua, it can pass it due to that both games (ufo2k beta) contain this internal code. The only thing it would not be able to process correctly would be the images, pointing to other images such as the civilian. Now if you notice "everybody" this happens to with you, then think about speculation 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or to install it some other place than before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Angel Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Could be a problem with your XCom version. The mods don't take kindly to piracy, so if you don't have a CD copy I can't officially tell you where to get it. However, cryptic clues are fair game. Google is your friend. Look for HOTU.

I'll give better hints, try local stores under the old software section, try ebay, if all else fails go for abandonware websites. No I won't post links... do you research . BTW, ufo defense, TFTD and Apocalypse are sold in a collector's edition pack or something so you can get them 3 at the same time. Happy shopping!

Guest Azrael Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Nothing easier than finding a copy of X-Com online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I was playing as floaters and my opponent said that my floaters looked like human civilians.. also the ethereal has a graphic glitch on top of its head when moving The 3 new units (Floater, Ethereal, Snakeman) all have a minor graphical glitch. Look carefully at the top of their heads when they are facing you. The Ethereal and the Floater heads have been clipped of their pointy top while the Snakeman's is taller.

Look for HOTU.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> no way jose... I own both xcom1 & 2 .. I've had them for yeeeeaaaarrrsss... my first computer came with both of them. the guy I bought the computer from said that the only reason he owned the computer was for x-com.. I knew I would have to try them after hearing that.. but I didn't install them normally on this computer, I copied a bunch of stuff directly off of my cd's because ufo 2000 wasn't seeing my tftd maps with a normal install. does the collectors edition with all 3 x-coms have any new features?

Hobbes Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 also, for some reason I can only have 10 soldiers, when I reinstall the beta, the same 10 soldiers are there but only 10.. Check this: open the ufo2000.ini file with Notepad and at the third end of it, where it says platoon_size, make sure it is set for 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exo2000 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) also, for some reason I can only have 10 soldiers, when I reinstall the beta, the same 10 soldiers are there but only 10.. Check this: open the ufo2000.ini file with Notepad and at the third end of it, where it says platoon_size, make sure it is set for 15. Is there an actual set limit of 15, or can it go higher? *curious* Edited December 17, 2005 by Exo2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporb Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 i think 15 is max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzen Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) The Collectors edition doesn't run on XP so I had to download a hacked version that was compatiable with XP even though I own all three games. Also, I keep getting weird crashes when I use xcomutil, and with regular X-com sometimes my guys dissiapear when I try to move them. ???Where can I get a copy of the latest UFO2000 Beta? the main site keeps routing me to a page that is written in some language that I can't read.???

I get 4 garbled screens when I run it. Nothing, but if it does come up garbled, download http://xcomutil.scotttjones.com/ (XCOM Util) and use f0dder's bugfix when setting it up. My own X-COM copy is heavily modified via X-COM Util... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
