Open-xcom Hotseat Battlescape Multiplayer Engine.

I reccomend that X-com player is allowed to see what Alien player does, while Alien player is not allowed to see what x-com player does, unless x-com player allows it.

The map vision gets reset because one can guess where units by seeing which doors get open and where items are left on the ground.

For Alien player, clicking the Psi Button with Ctrl pressed, will select the Mind control action. Otherwise it will be a Panic atack.

Later i will introduce score penalty for turns taken.

Installing.

1. It is required that you have OpenXcom directory in "(My) Documents/OpenXcom", which contains original UFO/TFFD game. Any Open-xcom mods you want to play with should also be in OpenXcom/mods folder of that directory.

2. Unpack archive anywhere you want and launch.

How to play with another player remotely via using "Steam remote play".
We are going to trick steam into believing that Open-Xcom is a Steam game.

1. Install any game you own on Steam that supports "Steam remote play" feature (I recomend free game Brawlhalla for example).

2. Copy contents of the archive to the folder where your Steam game is installed.

3. Remove ******.exe file(Brawlhalla.exe) .

4. Rename OpenXcom.exe so it matches the name of the file you've removed..

5. Launch the imposter game via steam library.

6. In Options->Video change display filter to any filter which supports OpenGl Hardware acceleration. (marked with *)

7. Now you can shift-tab and invite your steam friends. Enjoy.
