OK! I got the maps working by extracting the tarball again and then recalled I had to disable
GL shading and realtime fx to get the maps up.
So now I can load a skirmish and kill aliens which appears to be OK thus far.
But now, I have the same save game problem as I had with 2.3.0: When I save to a slot,
I type in a name and the game is ostensibly saved as slot0.savx. If I save and leave the game
running, then try to load the save file, there is firstly no text in the slot, but the game loads
the savefile correctly although the console says the file header is corrupted.
If I quit the game, restart and reload it, the slot text is empty and the game will not load, but prints
the "header corrupted" message again.
If I unpack the file, it looks like fully formed xml to me, so I have no idea now.
Same problems as previous version.....
Now someone has ported this to Android, who's working on the IOS port? Ipads are screaming
for xcom!
