Alien Sight Range Indicator

I recommend that you install this mod with Long War Mod Manager (http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/620/). This mod has been tested with Long War beta 15d2 but it should work with any version of Enemy Within (Long War or vanilla XCom).

This mod displays a sight range ring around visible aliens, such as those revealed by a battle scanner. You'll be able to see how close you can move to them without being seen. No more tile counting!

Press Alt+V to toggle the sight ring on and off. If you use a game controller press the right stick in (R3) to toggle.

There are 2 version of this mod included in the zip file:

AlienSightRangeIndicator _InactiveVisibleAliens.txt This one draws sight rings around INACTIVE, VISIBLE aliens only (like those revealed by a battle scanner). My personal favourite.

AlienSightRangeIndicator _AllVisibleAliens.txt This one draws sight rings around ALL VISIBLE aliens.

If you installed using PatcherGUI you'll have to must modify your <SteamApps>\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\XComGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini file as follows:

Search for the section labelled "; TACTICAL binds"

It looks like this:

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; TACTICAL binds ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Bindings=(Name="Escape", Command="Escape_Key_Press | onrelease Escape_Key_Release | CANCELMATINEE 1", bPrimaryBinding=True) ; Confirm / Cancel binds, secondary . Bindings=(Name="Enter", Command="SpaceBar_Key_Press | onrelease SpaceBar_Key_Release", bPrimaryBinding=True) . Bindings=(Name="SpaceBar", Command="SpaceBar_Key_Press | onrelease SpaceBar_Key_Release", bSecondaryBinding=True) ... . Bindings=(Name="F7", Command="slomo 1. 0", Alt=True) . Bindings=(Name="F8", Command="slomo 1. 15", Alt=True) . Bindings=(Name="F9", Command="slomo 1. 5", Alt=True) ;Reset Map Rotation . Bindings=(Name="F10", Command="ResetMapCounts", Alt=True) ;Alt-F11 doesn't work; always performs window toggle ;Hard Quit . Bindings=(Name="F12", Command="ALT_F4_QUIT", Alt=True)

Add the following 2 lines to THE END OF this section (otherwise the bindings may not work):

. Bindings=(Name="V", Command="UIToggleAnchors", Alt=True) . Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightThumbstick",Command="UIToggleAnchors")

It will now look like this:

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; TACTICAL binds ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- . Bindings=(Name="Escape", Command="Escape_Key_Press | onrelease Escape_Key_Release | CANCELMATINEE 1", bPrimaryBinding=True) ; Confirm / Cancel binds, secondary .

1. 0a - Initial release 1. 0b - Added toggle option. Alt+V or R3 button on game controller. 1. 0c - Two versions of the mod are now included in the zip file.
