Title: Transfer save games?
Post by: bedgar on February 01, 2016, 07:33:44 pm

Hi,

Is there any way to transfer or convert save games from the original game into OpenXcom?

Or is there a game editor where I can edit a OpenXcom save to match my old UFO game?

Thanks

Yes, but only for saves in geoscape (i.e. not in battle).

Just copy the whole save directory from the original game into directory where OpenXcom stores saves and you will be able to load it.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have a geoscape save and copied it over into documents\OpenXcom but it isn't coming up ingame.

Is there anything else I need to do?

I think it may only be available in Nightly Builds.
