Open Feedback / Re: Any word on openTFTD's progress?

Excellent news! I can find other stuff to keep me occupied until it's ready. Thanks for the prompt response too. If only customer service reps had the initiative this forum does.

Any general idea what kinds of bugs/fixes/tweaks might be included? I'd just love to see Coelacanth's and torpedo launchers to be usable above water. I can't' but help that restriction was just designed to torture us, unless it applies to enemies as well.

Open Feedback / Any word on openTFTD's progress?

Heya all. Loving the OpenXcom project. The mods and options are loads of fun to an already fun game. Even purist vanilla mode with bugs fixed is still incredibly fun. I saw an old thread from 2014 about openTFTD 1.0 but I was warned the thread had been dead for a long time and long story short I did not want to necro a dead thread. That being said, is openTFTD still in development? I'm eager to play through it after I finish my rerun of the original UFO Defense. I'm hesitant though unless openTFTD is still years away.

Troubleshooting / Re: Installing from the collector's edition?

Ah yes that fixed it. I went back to the disc itself and rooted out the files I needed. I had some sort of custom-made batch file that started the game. Once I manually sifted through my disc I found the files I was looking for and got it running. Got chills

Troubleshooting / Installing from the collector's edition?

« on: April 16, 2015, 02:46:57 am »

Heya all. I have the collector's edition of all 3 of the original X-coms. Unfortunately though there are not the whole bevy of sub-folders like the originals had. I just have 2 sub-folders of SOUND and MISDATA. I assume MISDATA is miscellaneous data. I can see a crap-load of .DAT files inside. I assume this was done to condense folder clutter. Unfortunately in this case it appears I must sift through these files. However, I don't know which data belongs to which sub-folder. I tried using the Windows Installer and it was not able to detect the files properly. Would anyone be willing to help me with the arduous task of sorting out which folders openXcom looks for and which DAT files need to be in each?
