:::OK, that's fine. I don't know how much work I'll get done on TFTD, but I do want to get it to the point where all of the basic UI upgrades are done. Since you're not interested in working on it, I may just release it independently as a separate project on my own user page here, if you don't mind. That way it won't interfere with your other work. I will credit you as the main developer of it, of course, and continue to contribute original X-COM patches to UFOExtender as I develop them. --[[User:Xusilak|Xusilak]] 17:33, 2 April 2010 (EDT)

Maybe you could publish the TFTD patch database on this site, as it evolves. Initially it will have a lot of gaps, but if you publish the gaps people will know what to look for. You will probably get volunteers who will hunt down the patches for the things that they are particularly interested in. The work will go faster with collaboration.

Feel free to discuss anything related to my projects here! --Xusilak 15:42, 24 March 2010 (EDT)


I'm smiling for a reason.

Potential Projects

Good set of potential projects, I like! Spike 19:28, 24 March 2010 (EDT)

Especially looking forward to the TFTD patches! By the way, xcomutil already allows you to set the difficulty value to any number you wish. J'ordos 08:40, 2 April 2010 (EDT)

Interesting; I didn't know that. However, my experiments with high difficulty levels showed that exceeding the defaults will break certain aspects of the game, like spawning arbitrary numbers of aliens in missions. My primary goal there is to make those difficulty levels fully functional, with expected results for spawn numbers, capping overflows, and so on. My secondary goal is to make it easier to use those difficulty levels by adding the Advanced Difficulty configuration to the main difficulty screen. Thanks for the tip, though.
As for TFTD, I have a few usable patches implemented already, but I think I'll leave it up to Seb to compile and release it with his current patcher, if he wants to. Seb, if you happen to see this, let me know how you feel about the TFTD patches I'm working on. I'd prefer if you compile and release it alongside the X-COM patcher, to ensure compatibility, as I use VS2010 RC for developing right now. Either way, it'll be a while before that happens, as I'm working on testing and adding more functionality. Thanks! --Xusilak 13:18, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
I do not work on TFTD mainly for 2 reasons: first, I don't play it; second, redoing the same things all over again is not that much interesting to me. If you want to make it happen though, I'll gladly take the opportunity to make that available for everyone in the loader. Also if you need some help analysing some bits of asm don't hesitate to ask; I'll help if I can. Good luck and have fun! Seb76 15:46, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
