Title: Hey hey, a little help?
Post by: theohno on May 16, 2019, 08:57:48 pm

Just joined!

Trying to figure out how to install OXCE but the included installation instructions really aren't helping me one bit and I am totally lost. Probably tried about 5 different installs now and failed all of them. Pretty frustrating since I'm usually pretty good at this stuff. Even checked out the UFOpaedia installation instructions to no avail, nothing is clear and files are listed that I cannot find anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated! Just want to have some updated retro fun with just about the hardest tactical game I've ever encountered.

Screenshots and step by step instructions dumbed down would be ideal.

Hi

1. download the package
2. extract it on your desktop into a new folder
3. copy the original game data (let's say from Steam) into the UFO folder (UFO folder has a readme.txt which says which data you need to copy)
4. run
