Thus, if some mod instructs you to edit defaultgamecore.ini, for example, you need to locate and edit XComGameCore.ini file instead.

Open it (administrator access is required) and add two following lines inside:Д«oth Linux and Mac versions prioritize XCom*.ini files over default*.ini files. For Linux it is usually located at /etc/hosts. You can disable phoning home (automatic ini re-downloading) by editing hosts file. Both GUI and core utilities are open-source and are available via GitHub:Д«oth projects contain README.md file with description and detailed build instructions.Д«oth Linux and Mac releases do not perform upk hash check, so disabling it is not required. There are no pre-built PatcherGUI binaries for Linux and Mac, so you will have to build them yourself.

This approach is a bit less user-friendly than a final GUI tool with sliders and check-boxes, but modularity and flexibility allows for easier mods creation, distribution and maintaining: anyone can contribute and the next patch will not ruin the majority of the hard work of prior mods! distributing a mod's source code, which can be made compatible to all the game versions.

#XCOM ENEMY WITHIN WONT LAUNCH HOW TO#

Trying to solve the problem of cooked packages, the XCOM modding community eventually came to the idea of distributing not a package itself, but rather a set of instructions on how to modify local user's packages - i.e. So, to allow installation of multiple different mods, we have to distribute changed parts instead of full packages, which, again, raises inter-patch compatibility questions. Second, we can't simply distribute altered packages, as that would make it impossible to combine several mods into one game. But the problem of packages being 'cooked' stays and raises a lot of questions about inter-patch and inter-mod compatibility.ДЇirst, each time Firaxis releases a new patch, those packages get 're-cooked' and all the prior mods, written for each specific patch, stop working.

Fortunately, the PC version can read decompressed packages and hash check can be disabled. And those are compressed, 'cooked' and hashed (for EU). To make some significant changes to the game, we need to alter its packed resources ('packages').

XCOM doesn't have official modding support, so we have a bit of a problem here. (under Linux and Mac program should be built from source code). Cross-platform: works with Windows, Linux and Mac XCOM versions
