Guest Azrael Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) Finally made the darn thing work, thanks to Mark0 (http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=841), so I'll make the game in Easy, since I haven't played in ages and only beat it in Novice, just for the fun I'll have it be simple, so, who wants to save Mega-Primus? I'll play Real Time, and will try to tell it someway like SupSuper used to do, which is very fun . About the game, anyone knows how can I run it in window mode? I can't seem to make it do so, and is there a quick way to take screenshots? or just with Print Screen and then copy/paste to Paint?

[NKF] Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I would recommend converting any screenshot into a jpeg, or a 256 colour png/gif file before you post it. Pcx or tiff files tend to be quite large. Resizing or cropping the picture so that you can focus more on certain points of interest in the action would be nice as well. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Azrael Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Do dual weapons work? I remember I used to equip my soldiers with dual toxiguns, but I wasn't sure if they used both at the same time or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j'ordos Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 In real-time they do work together, in turn-based mode you get the same effect as in UFO and TFTD: you can fire 'em both, but not at the same time, so you only get the disadvantages of dual-wielding, while not getting any of the extra firepower.

[Mad] Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) And how are you supposed to get them?Good question... Maybe they are available some day just like the plasma rifle is available at the beginning of the 2nd month? Might be a side effect of the trainer I downloaded this morning to get every entry in the Apocpedia so I could remember all the available weapons. Hm. Cannot remember how it was when I actually played Apoc. You'll have to wait and see... tell me how it ended. For the time beeing I'll take a normal grenade...

j'ordos Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Psi grenade, along with many other items were dropped from the game, the only way to get them is by using an editor (exception would be the mind shield, which you can still get by raiding marsec buildings)more info here: http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~xcom/x3x9.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
