Finally!

Better, faster wiht more stuff.

Alas, the new armors didn't make it in yet, due to some rigging problems. 

[Rodo]

yeah, cool stuff happening over there, I'm starting a new game just to see what's new.

[Ravenholme]

I hope there are new default models for the characters to go with the improved armour models.

Also, getting weird slowdown/lag when my interceptors engage Fighter-class UFOs, it's very strange, reproduceable and limited entirely to that single type of UFO.

[TrashMan]

I do wonder..am I the only one from HLP that pitched into help the UFO:AI guys?

We have so much raaw talent there that we could push the project ahead considerably(especialylconsidering how simpler hte modelsand textures they use are).
Right now they are lakcing both modelers and textureres.

Is that the troopers from Ghost In The Shell? It looks like them.

Help the effort too guys!

I remade their sniper rifle once with more polys... but that was last year, and the school wipes their servers  I was just tired of having the scope be an effing rectangle.

Help the effort too guys!

Hmmm, I wonder.

Reading the thread you linked there is talk of UGVs would the team appreciate a buggy style machine with a rotary cannon in a inspired by
http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/UGV kind of look, though i am thinking tires rather than treads. 

If so what limitations does it need to follow and will you be able to do the file conversions/rigging they need?

Seriousy guys.

Contribute.
This community has got metric ass-tons of talent in EVERY department. And most of us love X-Com.

[pecenipicek]

maybe. is there a compiled list of things that need to be done? it'd be nice to break out of the "model ships ALL the time" mold...

[TrashMan]

YES..all in the link and their wiki

[Dragon]

I've downloaded and started playing it. Great game. I'm going to get the original X-COM someday, but this is all I need for now.

[TrashMan]

If you want more stuff, try downloading the nightly.
It's usually very stable and has all the latest additions.

[Dragon]

Would I need to restart the campaign? I'm quite far into it, at the point where supply ships started to show up.

[TrashMan]

not sure..
IF you copy over the save, probably not. Depends on how much was changed.
