    Well... haven't I just told that this game is all about endless customization? I feel like a messiah

    TFTD Extender

    I'm still getting crashes to desktop during Battlescape missions. Although it's happening a lot rarer than in Beta 9 it's still there. I have a theory though - it might be something with grenades interacting with other objects such as landscape. I got this problem couple of days ago during USO recovery mission when alien grenade exploded on a sunken galleon wreckage. Also in last mission (Terror Site) when a threw a smoke grenade to cover my soldier from aliens fire. After the end of my turn grenade got off on one of those really small hills. Immediately after that the game crashed with message "application failure". It happened while using last version and when I reverted to 1.0.7.2. Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot but I've attached my save game file. EDIT Another crash couple of minutes ago while I was trying to finish terror mission mentioned above. This time I've managed to capture a screenshot with a crash info, though I don't know if it helps. EDIT #2 While setting up production of Ion Armour I've found such a glitch: GAME_5 Aliens Terrorize Tonga.zip

    Glad to hear it, cause it's very useful function. TFTDextender users would be grateful

    Yeah, I already have tried them as I prefer OGG Vorbis over MP3. BASS plays them without any problems. I've checked it and they control music volume but only in Battlescape and only in DOS version (it's not a future of DOSBox). As I understand Your post it'd be very hard to implement this function to CE version?

    X-COM on Windows7

    Guide that Wolfyy7 posted isn't there anymore so I thought I'll update this topic with some, in my eyes at least , useful stuff. OK, ladies and gentleman I've found out (thanks to the tip from Tycho) how to run TFTD Collector's Edition from Steam on Windows 7 64-bit system. So let me just share this knowledge with You Step 1) First things first You have to find TFTD install directory in Your Steam main directory - for example in my case it's: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\X-COM Terror from the Deep\TFD Step 2) When You're there You'll see many subdirectories and files, because it's a strange hybrid of DOS and Windows versions, but the one You're interested with is called "Terror from the Deep.exe". It's got a nice icon as You can see on my screenshot below: Step 3) Now run it and You'll be playing Collector's Edition (a.k.a as Gold Edition) of TFTD which You purchased from Steam. You don't have to be logged in to Your Steam account to do it. Et voila! Very simple isn't? But that's not all because probably You've noticed that there's another file - Terror from the Deep_patched.exe. This is a version of f0dder's loader which fixed some TFTD bugs but it's very outdated. Tycho with his TFTDextender is light years ahead so why we should not use it? How You ask me? Just read on. Step 4) Download latest version of TFTDextender (1.0.7.3 Beta 11) from here: http://www.strategyc...&attach_id=7662 Don't worry if Your antivirus software screams it's a virus (ESET32 classifies it as "probably unknown dangerous software "NewHE virus" so really scary ) - it's perfectly safe. Step 5) Extract contents of downloaded archive to Your Steam TFTD directory. Step 6) Configure TFTDExtender.ini to Your liking and run TFTDextender.exe. You don't have to be logged in to Your Steam account to do it. Now You can enjoy the game Final words? Personally I recommend copy whole TFTD directory from Your Steam directory somewhere else, then apply TFTDextender and run the game from that other location.

    Actually, I've found out it's very simple. All I had to was copy Extender files to my Terror From The Deep Steam directory and run TFTDextender.exe. It works like charm, although I don't have time right now to test it further. Besides I've created backup directory of TFTD Steam directory and I run Extender from there. Ok, thanks for the answer. I did quick test and in my current game, after researching Ion-Beam Accelerators, I've finally got Ion Armour (although I've already researched live Deep One). Also in my new, test game everything worked as You described. So thanks again! Yes, I meant MP3 music. Would it be possible for OGG files (which actually I'm using from some OpenXCOM mod) as well? They have the exactly same names as MP3's. I've found out that in Steam DOS version "README.txt" it's written as follows: So maybe it'd be a good idea to use those keys?
  8. Oh man, it would be Super Cool! Guys, please do whatever it takes to make it happen!

    Yes, it works! Thanks Tycho for the tip! I haven't been using Steam version because it's very strange DOS / Collector's Edition hybrid. Instead I've been using CE version downloaded from some abandonware site. Yesterday I've applied TFTDextender on my Steam version and it worked. So I guess it's not that bad anyway It's been a pleasure Thanks Tycho - You're THE MAN! One question about new version though. In my playthrough I'm at the beginning of March - so to finally have Ion Armor I should just copy Your updated files or begin a new game? And last but not least - would it be complicated to add a functionality of increasing or decreasing the in-game music volume? Right now music is very loud and there's no way to change volume. Besides it'd be cool for example to play UFO: Cydonias Fall soundtrack There was such possibility in DOS version but I think only in Battlescape.

    It's Diabolic Plan I say!!! "We'll give people customization, they'll love it and they'll be customizing endlessly, doing customization mods etc. Only couple of die hard fans will play the game way it should be." I was there and I saw it with my own ears!
  11. Actually, I wasn't referring to Your post ('cause I think I understand motives behind it) but to those which came after it.
  12. Zombie, sorry it took me so long but thanks for checking it for me. It seems that structure of TFTD PSX CD is different from that of UFO Defense. Anyway I've got the music from OpenXcom mod so I putting my plans for buying PSX version on hold. Maybe someday... when I'll figure out how to tell my wife that I've just spent 40 euro on some collectible

    TFTD Extender

    Thanks Tycho! Testing it right now and everything seems to be working fine in Battlescape mode. Although I've still have a problem with Alternate Tech Tree mod but this may have something with my stupidity To test this mod I've started a new game with Option 2 selected and using an editor I've put into my stores a Deep One corpse and small amount of Aqua Plastics. Next I've done the research: - first Deep One corpse which unblocked Aqua Plastics, - after researching Aqua Plastics I got Plastic Aqua Armour, - now to obtain Ion Armour I should research Ion-Beam Accelerators but after researching it I get nothing. I even tried researching Accelerators before Plastic Aqua Armour but result is the same - I don't have "Ion Armour" topic. I know I'm missing something but what? I've attached my savegame -seems that "7z" file format is not permitted. GAME_10.zip
  14. For Christ sake! Could You people stop playing Your puny little wars (that's how it looks like for on outsider like me) and concentrate on solving a problem?? Yes? No? Maybe? Anyone?

    I can't say for Nox but... I'd rather see developers spending their time and precious resources not on "Sims 4 style" soldier customization and rather on making combat more like special ops style. By that I mean firefights with RANGE because right now this is like shooting in 15 meter sandbox. Of course I might be mistaken - maybe soldier customization took them only small amount of time spent to develop whole game.
