One more directory down the line and it will work.
(=move contents of XCOM to UFO)

Ah yes I tried this with the janky DOS version and it didn't work but it did with the steam version I just got the files for thanks so much!

Move the *contents* of 'XCom UFO Defense/XCOM' folder *into* UFO folder
Make sure it contains, for example, the GEODATA  folder

I actually already tried moving the contents into UFO like this, still the same error.

Can you make a couple of screenshots to show, where are the files located?

Still a no installation error so I have to be just doing something wrong.

Troubleshooting / Mac OSX installation can't find files

Hey so i recently created a thread about trying to access the original game files on mac through steam, but instead i just downloaded the dos version online which has all the files accessible, I copied them into the resources folder where the readme txt file said to but once i hit run it still gives me an error saying it can't find the GEODATA/WORLD.DAT and earlier it said it couldn't find PALETTE.DAT but they're definitely in there I checked for both. Curious what I can do, perhaps i copied them into the wrong directory somehow or I'm using the wrong version of OpenXcom.

EDIT: Oh it also says "Failed to load UFO Enemy Unknown mod disabled for next startup" before it notes the missing files not sure what this is about.

Ah so it was just an oversight, maybe the directions should be changed to include steps using wine or something because as they are now it would be impossible to install the game. Thanks anyway

Troubleshooting / [Question] Can't install game through the Steam XCOM file

« on: August 10, 2018, 06:19:47 am »

Hey guys sorry if this question has been asked before

I was following the Mac OS instructions to install and XCOM's files are not in the Steam Common folder because Xcom can't be installed on mac through steam so i was wondering how to fix this, was this just an oversight? Should i use a different vanilla version of Xcom to complete the installation of OpenXcom?
