Starting TFTD
« on: September 28, 2021, 01:56:27 pm »
I'm sure this is a very stupid question but... how do you start TFTD?

I have both OpenXCOM (latest nightly), and OpenXCOM CE (latest), and both work fine for UFO but I have no clue how to start a game of TFTD. "New Game" / "New Battlescape" are just for UFO.

I've copied the TFTD files over to both.

In either of them the only place I can see any reference to TFTD is the mods drop-down.

Nothing in the log file suggesting any problems (or any explicit successes either; an entry saying "Successfully loaded data for UFO" / "...TFTD" would be useful for debugging incorrect installs).

And there's nothing on the wiki or getting started pages for these either about it.

What am I missing?

Selecting TFTD from the dropdown menu under mods (see image) should suffice.
After clicking "OK" the game will restart in "TFTD-mode".

Seeing a mention of "terror from the deep" in that dropdown menu is evidence of correct installation (otherwise the dropdown would only list UFO).

Ah, that did it. Thanks, much appreciated.

Very non-obvious though.
