I updated every single weapons_gc file with the new attributes but it still doesn't work. I'm not sure what's overriding the update at this point. I literally did a search in the entire xenonauts folder and checked every single weapons_gc file. I changed the attributes in vanilla and CE and no dice.

Alien: "Whats in the flares"
Xenonaut: "Its the unmatched power of the sun xeno"

For those who can't get the mod to work - go into the mod folder, open up the weaponsgc.xml. Copy the stats of the weapon over to the vanilla flare in weaponsgc or if you're using XCE, use that one. Done.

You can now unsubscribe to this mod.

Yeah, I'm giving up on this - and on the game, too, I think. I couldn't figure out your link, and even after uninstalling the game and re-installing it again (which meant I had to resubscribe to all of my mods, for some reason), I still couldn't get THIS mod to download. But that's OK. It's just one of those things, and this game just isn't as much fun as the original X-Com, anyway. But thanks for the reply.

Thanks, Doctopus. I'll try the manual approach.

@BillGarthright
Could be a steam issue, I had steam fail with workshop mods downloading after I defragged my hard drive some months ago. I fixed it by reinstalling steam (this means all games will be uninstalled, so beware!).

You could try downloading the mod manually through this.
{LINK REMOVED}https://steamworkshopdownloader.io/

Then find the mods folder and put super flares there, make it high priority on the list.

Why doesn't this mod show up in my mod list? I've got 14 other mods which work just fine, but I don't even have the option of activating this one. I've unsubscribed and subscribed again, re-started the game multiple times, nothing seems to work. It's just not available to me. Any ideas?

nice! before this mod i just airstrike every night mission

Baisicly "We accidentally orderd thousands of aircraft flares but we're going to use them anyways"

Is it a plane? is it a shooting star? is it a star? NO its a Flare!

love it =P

Hahaha I love this mod

SCP **** is a flare of approximate flare length

A class 10 explosion ocurred during a raid to a crashed UFO. Sattelite recordings show the source of the explosion, a flare. Scientists are still debating the amount of power in that flare, but it's estimated to be enough the ionize the athmosphere creating an equivalent to 235 megatons of TNT.

Great mod by the way.

I keep coming back for that picture. The head just makes me think of that staircase SCP that has the white head follow you.

Ginormous quasars man. Drop one of these bad boys inside the alien mothership and the uber praetor wil be instantly roasted to a crisp, along with half of the solar system.*

(*Does not actually happen in this mod)

mclarge huge

pocket fucking super novas

super flares? no, these are pocket stars

i used to brink a vehicle for the soul reason to use theire headlights to see far. i think its a nice tactic and not something you need to mod.

I have to come back just to look at that thumbnail

PRAISE THE SUN!

This mod should just make dropships put random flares everywhere


NO NEED FOR TU TO THROW FLARES

V Nice idea.

I guess it wouldn't be unreasonable for the dropship to set off flares, the sky-hovering-kind, as needed?

Yeah i hardly even use flares too

Thats true, it is a cheat.

This does essentially make night-missions become just day-missions with a tiny TU penalty. Normally I would avoid night-missions at all costs because they're too bothersome, so this changes that aspect of the game to eliminate that invconvenience and annoyance.

Ya i think the disadvantages you have at night is far to great in the vanila game, but this flips it the other way giving you way to great of an advantage.

I am your fa.... *light burns*

NO *throws flare*

Come to the dark side!

Cheating what? The darkness of its power?
pfft

NIce mod but don't kid yourselves, this is definite cheating! Easy-mode

Dark ahead,
Therefore try Sun!

praise the mother flipping sun!

Oh dude you should make a second viewable image for this mod.
Like photoshop the sunglasses dude on to the front of a star or something

I love how this mod shot to the front as soon as it was uploaded. Personally I never really had too much of an issue with night missions since I advoided most of them by careful planing. The ones I couldn't were ethier poor planing on my part (like 90% of the time) or a mission I just felt I had to do no matter the time of day. Even when I did play them I just planed smart and completed them with out too much added pain.

Of course none of that changes how silly the image looks. I also love how the face of that guy with sunglasses reappears. Makes him feel like some sort of black market cheat salesman.

Thank you, I really enjoyed making that image. I'm happy others like it too. : )

I love that fucking image though

Gigantic Radius of Light

i dont even know what you are talking about chicken freaking nugget, are you new to the internet?

what the hell is it to you hugo?

PRAISE THE SUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More like 'Solar Flare'.

personally, i think this is just a fancy way of cheating, if you dont want night then dont do night missions or remove them and make a mod out of it

Is it just me, or is downloading a mod then activating it in a mod menue give you a sense of unmatched power?

: D Heck Yes

PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE THE SUN
PRAISE PRAISE- PRAISE THE SUN
PRAAAAAIIIISEEE
PRAISE! PRAISE! PRAISE! PRAISE!
P-PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE THE SUN
