OpenXcom is broken! Warboy, what have you done?

DON’T PANIC!

As of today’s code changes, all current installations, configs, and mods are now “outdated”.
The data folder is a thing of the past, so installation instructions for up-to-date versions will need to be updated to reflect the new changes.

In a nutshell, Xcom data goes in the /UFO/ folder now, not in the /data/ folder.

Mod installation and standardisation has also changed drastically, more details can be found HERE.

And i guess here’s some screenshots of TFTD to whet your appetites.

IMPORTANT: TFTD is still not fully supported, and cannot be enabled yet.

    Only screenshots? We want the real thing!

    Anyone got a torch?

    Unfortunately, the game does not start TFTD. It lacks a sound file (Sample 2.cat). The original is not available, unfortunately.

    mission scripting and some adjustments for depth on the geoscape are the main hurdles at the moment

    @Warboy1982
    But there is still plenty to do in XCOM1 (text alignment), I hope it will not be allowed. Otherwise, I admire your work

    So, bad news, mods need to be remade, good news, that much closer to TFTD.

    Net gain, I would say. Mods can always be rebuilt.

    mods don’t actually NEED to be rebuilt, there is a measure of backwards compatibility, lack of metadata is just assumed to mean “i’m a mod for UFO”

    Love the blue look of the “Mission Generator”.

    I hope underwater battlescape missions (since there haven’t been any “official” underwater screenshots) will look good too!

    I make the most translation for xcom1 here.
    So is there any eta to start with the translation tftd ?

    Yes! TFTD support! Amazing! Looking forward to it, as I like TFTD way more than UFO defence. Also looking forward for the bugs it would fix!

    This can’t be coming soon enough. I some ways I actually prefer TFTD 🙂 Maybe because I played it first. But I always loved the creepy atmosphere, despite the annoyingly large maps.

    OpenTFTD needs an Earth exclusive release first. Aliens can’t play this before we do!!

    Oh wait…

    Hello OpenXCom….

    At first: many many thanks for OpenXCom!!!

    Your partner site http://www.openxcom.com/ offers a ufo2000 server for multi-player games. So I wonder if you plan to integrate ufo2000 into OpenXCom!?
    Any chance to have server and client integrated/cooperated with openXCom?

    Greetz!

    Can’t wait for TFTD support. The Mission Generator has made me fall in love with X-COM all over again.

    not to sound pushy or impatient but is TFTD playable yet or is it still being developed?
