wow, I am a moron.  Awesome!

Thank you Yergnoor and Solarius, that was exactly the obvious thing that for whatever reason I failed to see/recognize.

cheers!

Help / any mod installation instructions?

« on: August 12, 2023, 02:35:02 pm »

Hello,

Longtime (old) player that recently grabbed XCOM and TFTD from gog and after beating UFO Defense found OpenXCom, OXCE and XCom Files here.  Decided to try them, but having a hard time figuring out the right way to extract XCom Files and get OXCE to recognize it.

I extracted the XCom Files from the Zip folder to This PC>Documents>OpenXCom>mods but when I run OXCE XCom Files is not in the mods list nor can I figure out how to select it as a New Game (and in fact, it does not appear to have an option to select TFTD rather than the original).  It has a Mods button, but XCom Files is not listed.

I am rather unskilled when it come to these things, but I did install mods to NWN, NWN2 and even the massive Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate 2 mega-mods back in the day so I figure I should be able to figure it out.  The instructions in the README just made it sound rather simple and apparently I am missing something.  Is there a thread somewhere that gives any more detail about how to install and get mods to run?

Thanks a million, have a great weekend!
