<t> I have the waspkeeper armor on most of my troops, but I have 2 soldiers who carry flamethrower/chemogun and they wear the desert tortise. <br/>

I agree that the top tier armor is not as good overall as the waspkeeper, which is sad. I also dearly wish there was a heavy particle gun ...

Okay, so perhaps I'm a dolt, but where can we find a list of the hotkeys that were implemented with the patch?

<r> From the main game menu, befor you click 'play', click on the button right below it that says 'update'. This will install the patch.<br/>
<br/>
Then you need to reinstall bman's mod, a good set of instructions can be found here:<br/>

Well, I'm not sure it will help you, but for the record, my serial number is 16 digits, and I entered it with the dashes.

Have you tried toning down the AI improvement? There are 5 levels to choose from in the options.

<t> Problems with the mod should probably be posted to the thread linked at the beginning of this one. I'm not sure Bman even reads this thread. In regards to changing level views, the mouse wheel works for me, and I believe there is a hotkey for it as well. Can't speak to the 2nd issue, I haven't ...

I couldn't find where you save AP's in combat though.

Just to the left of your 'left hand' box for your soldiers there are 4 icons in a vertical row. From top to bottom, they represent aimed shot, snap shot, burst ...

<t> Further clarification, the game looks in XBG files first for the data files it needs. So, as stated above, you don't need a backup of your original data folder, just a backup of your original system.xbg. If you later want to 'uninstall' the mod, all you need to do is replace the empty system.xbg ...

Ask and ye shall receive.

I don't believe so. However, if you use Bman's Ease of Use mod, there is a feature where you can set to reserve enough APs for various actions like aimed shot, snap shot or whatever.

Patch? What patch? Did I miss something?

<r> You know, it's funny you say that, because I was thinking about it this morning, and I thought that may have been your problem. You beat me to the solution. <E>:)</E> <br/>

Also, Bman, if you're reading this, good job on a fabulous mod! Thanks so much, the game is greatly improved by it ...

I followed Plodder's instructions as well and it seemed to work for me. The only thing I'm not getting though, is the menu to change the options. Any help?<br/>

<t> I believe the problem you are having with the batch file is that you have windows set to hide extensions for known file types. So what's going on is you have a file that is actually named whatever.bat.txt but the '.txt' is hidden from view. Thus, when you double click on it, it's opening a ...

Here's a copy of a post I made on the devs forum:(you might want to back up the data folder first). download xbig.exe and the empty xbig from this post:<LINK link="http://www.ufo-extraterrestrials.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1576"><s>[link ...

You know, I miss the old days of recruiting hundreds of guys, hand picking the best stats, sending them thru Psi training, and dumping anyone who didn't have a good Psi stat. Them were the days.
