Error with TFTD TwoTS 2.22 and USOpedia

[gillbo]

Hi All,

Just rediscovered the old school XCOM's and playing them with my son.

Great work everyone.

I have steam version of TFTD, Open XCOM and just DL TWoTS mod.

However, when I try to read through the USOpedia, I get an error message:
OpenXcom has creashed: Sprite PULT2 Image not found, below is the log.

Without the TWoTS mod, it works....

Hi Gillbo,

TWoTS requires OpenXcom Extended (OXCE) to run... it will not run with vanilla OpenXcom.

You can download OXCE here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5258.0.html

Enjoy.

Welcome.
If you try to run TWoTS on PC, then you need only copy files from your tftd folder to the same empty folder inside download. Of course, first you need to unpack a whole archive TWoTS_2_22.zip
No other versions are needed, not nightly and no new OXCE.
You can of course update OXCE to a newest version, but all the features of mod should work "from the box".
Else, if you trying to run my mod on android, you should download and install OXCE for android, as Meridian says.
Have a nice play and beware of polyphs. :-)

Thanks for the reply guys, appreciate the quick feedback.

Where do I place the TWoTS folder once unzipped?

I have E:/OpenXcom/TFTD?

Or else my steam folder?

Thanks in advance, my 9 year old son is keen to play....

He has played UFO Defense, but likes TFTD better for some reason!!

Cheers

1. unzip the downloaded TWoTS package, anywhere (for example on your Desktop)
2. copy the original TFTD files from your Steam installation into a subdirectory ./TWoTS_2_22/TFTD

Nothing else.

[gillbo]

Cool, thanks. I was copying the TFTD folder to my OpenXcom directory.

I also tried copying the entire contents of the TWoTS 2.22 folder into the openXcom folder and allowed them to overwrite and I no longer get the crash.

Will this work long term??

Thank you for your promptness.

[Meridian]

No, it will not work long term... also you have just messed up your OpenXcom installation.

Please do not try to make TWoTS run with OpenXcom... as I said at the beginning, it does not work with OpenXcom.

Just follow the 2-step installation process described above.

[gillbo]

All good, I ,made a backup copy of my original Folder, so no harm done.

Thanks I will follow your instructions.

Cheers
