♥♥♥♥♥ dats a goood idea

...but isn't the ADVENT MEC still part of ADVENT?

Yes, but when you think about it, who created Advent? The Aliens. Besides, we are focusing on non-Advent units (besides the Mec of course). Plus, I think when people are searching for how to play as aliens. "Playable Aliens" or "Play as Aliens" will make this pop up more often, don't you think?

Any chance that since its going to be "Playable Aliens" you can sepperate the MEC? I want the MEC but not the Aliens. I would use your old MOD but you have refined the weapons and skills since then.

Having each alien is easily settable by changing True to false in the ini's. Coding in an alternate way to restrict certain units is not on the table as far as I know. Hacagnel: IF you wish, go into the mod's files, find the correct ini, and find the one that contains the aliens and a bunch of wording like playable=true.

You will see one for each alien. Just set them to false.

As for me, I'm taking a break from modding for now. It's up to dave and the other's to add more if they want.

@ Kriiden

Awsome!! That will do thanks!

how about Alien Insurrection?

My little Muton: friendship is magic

Sorry for the wait on the name change guys... I'm going to start looking for someone (again) to help us create a new banner, since most of the other Dev's are busy.

Lol...all these suggestions are great. Especially Belial's (I was tired the night I replied, and didn't get the joke. ) Spino, That is an excellent name, but I think we are going to stick with Playable Aliens, because in our code, we reference PA_(insert whatever here) With this name change, not only will more people be able to find it, it will make it all that much easier to code it into the game. (Or hopefully, no coding at all, since all we really use is PA instead of the full name when it's in the mods coding.) Theoretically, all we would need to do is change the name of the mod file and upload a new banner, but Dave and the other's are still need deep in code, but from what I've seen and been told, Playable Aliens would be doable, code wise.

So, consider this a callout to anyone who can create banners or art. We need something to replace Playable Advent. It doesn't have to be similar, or the same. I personally would perfer just aliens in the pictures (unlike the mec we have right now) but the final choice would be up to Dave and the rest. Right now, I'm just looking for a banner artist. Feel free to customize or add any flair to it that you want. It doesn't even need to be similar to what we have now. If you want, contact me or Dave through steam or Nexus, and send us your idea's or what you got.

Unfortunately, I'm the only one who can update to steam workshop (It so stupid Dave doesn't have more control over a mod he precides over, despite that he has "Author credit". Blame steam workshop.) So I'm the only one who has Admin rights on this particular mod page. Nexus has a setup so that we are both admins over the mod, and either one of us could make changes to description or upload a new picture or update. Here...not so much. >.> Something Steam needs to fix, and soon.

FINALLY. Changed on Steam and at the Nexus.
