the files from xcom:ufo defense are needed to play but the program we run is "new" in addition to whatever extras have been added by modders.

You are in the right place!
Follow the instruction for installing the mod.  OpenXcom uses files from the original game (maps, images, etc.) but ads a new engine.  XPirateZ runs on a branch of this engine called OpenXcom Extended Plus (OXCE+ for short).

So yes, you need the Xcom you bought from Steam to run this engine and this mod. :)

I suppose it's out of place, to hope for a pre patched instillation for simplicity's sake?

Yes, out of place.

Its not hard.
- Copy and Paste your STEAM UFO contents folder into the Piratez folder (open x com requires graphics and sounds from the UFO game).
- Profit

EDIT: Deleted wrong information

Thanks, that actually gives me what I need to know.  I tried doing it with just the xcom from steam and it didn't work now I know why.

- Download OpenXCom.
- Copy and Paste your STEAM UFO contents folder into the openxcom folder (open x com requires graphics and sounds from the UFO game).
- Copy and Paste Piratez into the OpenXCom-Folder (/mods, see readme)
- Profit

Although that will probably work, it is NOT the correct way to install X-PirateZ.
Please read the installation instructions!!!
You don't need to download OpenXcom at all, the X-PirateZ game is self-contained and comes with everything you need (except for STEAM UFO folder, which is the only thing you need to add).

What exactly did you copy out of the Steam folder and where exactly did you paste it into ?

This is how it should look:

The UFO folder is the one you need to grab from Steam

Complete installation with all needed files would probably be illegal. By copying your files you proof to have the original game.

Yeah distributing original UFO would be infringing copyright :) You need to either buy it or set sail under the Swedish banner :)

- Cannonballs now explode (radius 1) to be more useful

Actually, I thought the non-exploding Kind more useful as a close-combat support weapon.

It was changed because of arcing weapon hitscan glitches (it is fine if bows don't work from time to time, but a cannonball should always hit something). If that eliminates the tactic of firing from 1 tile away, 's all good :) I actually intended radius 0 (only a single tile gets hit), but radius code has changed. I'll try to fix it, if possible.
