I would like help getting OpenXcom to install, then patches and mods

[gunnar123abc]

Ok I am going to go step by step. I hate computers. Windows 7

I would like people to show me how to do these steps properly, or to amend the steps:

1. Bought X-Com: UFO Defense on steam

2. Installed X-Com:UFO Defense.

3. Copied X-Com:UFO Defense from Steam folder, pasted to C:https://Games
(so I have a copy outside of Program Files)

4. Downloaded openxcom_git_master_2016_02_03_1738.zip from https://openxcom.org/git-builds/ (THE LATEST NIGHTLY BUILD)

5. Downloaded universal-patch.zip from https://openxcom.org/downloads-extras/

6. Created a new folder in C:https://Games called OpenXCom

7. Put openxcom_git_master_2016_02_03_1738.zip in the OpenXCom folder, and extracted. Removed used Zip file.

Now, I am confused. What do I do from here, and have I made any mistakes from here

Unfortunately I've gotta go to work right now. If this thread is still blank when I get home tonight, I'll give you a hand

ok, thanks!

also, I do not need to have a copy out of the program files of steam, It is just a habit because other old games I played they sometimes didn't like being in program files when modded. So if it is simpler I can keep it only in steam too.

now copy the contents of your xcom folder (ROUTES, TERRAIN, UNITS, etc..) to openxcom/ufo, then extract the universal patch over the top of that.

it seems to work now anyway! now to get some mods! (I was thinking to get some ufo mods to add extra, and maybe that "extra terror mission map" mod too!

if i have problems again, I will post here! and if there is anything i should have done differently as shown in image let me know!

yup, exactly like that. you can also install terror from the deep into the TFTD folder if you want to play that.
