Title: Help with Area 51 (oxce 8.0 compatibility)
Post by: Skullar on July 22, 2021, 01:41:53 am

Hello there, long time  8) so this afternoon I installed OXCE v7 in my Android tablet to have more XCOM in there, I'm trying to run the Area 51 mod but I have this error showing up :-\ :

I tried to fix it myself but failed miserably, I looked up in the mod portal for a latest version but wasn't able to find any trace of this mod anywhere, and it's one of my favorites   :(  if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction with this one I would appreciate it a lot, thanks in advance  ;D

For OXCE 8.x compatibility,
trailing whitespace needs to be removed from the original file `Area 51 v0.972/Ruleset/alienDeployments_Area_51.rul`
