how to apply a mod (Win 7)

Hello everybody.

Could someone please tell me how to apply a mod using the command "./ufo +set fs_gamedir mymod"? To be honest, I don't know how/where to enter it (OS: Win 7).

I know how to start a mod from the game menu.

Thank you in advance.

DarkRain:
You need to either:
A) Open a command prompt window navigate to the game directory and run it with ufo.exe +set fs_gamedir yourmod
B) Run it from the windows run dialogue: navigate to  ufo.exe, select it then add the +set fs_gamedir yourmod part once the exe is on the text box
C) Edit the program's shortcut: Open the shortcut properties and add the +set fs_gamedir yourmod after the path to ufo.exe that appear in one of the text boxes (not the working dir one!)

Disclaimer: I haven't used windows in a good while, that is how I remember things working, instructions might not be 100% accurate...

AntJam:
Actually you need    ./ufo +set fs_gamedir yourmod

I use the shortcut method because you can easily switch between different mods by creating multiple shortcuts

Thanks a lot, guys. :)

I'd like to provide the details for all enthusiastic beginners, like me (starting with the quite cool mod ajguns - I recommend it, works perfectly with 2.5 stable):

WIN 7

Starting a mod via command line:
- WIN + R
- enter: C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.5\ufo.exe ./ufo +set fs_gamedir ajguns
  (without quotation marks)
- hit ENTER
=> Here we go.

...via Shortcut:
- right-click the standard UFO AI shortcut on the desktop
- select "properties"
  In the register "link/conjunction/assignment" (?)
  there are two spaces that can be corrupted:
  (1) Target: "C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.5\ufo.exe"
  (2) Execute in/ Working area: "C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.5"

(I translated the terms from german, so don't burn me if they're titled a bit different in the english win version).

- change the entry in no. 1 exactly - including the quotation marks given - to:
  "C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.5\ufo.exe" ./ufo +set fs_gamedir ajguns
- save the amendments   

=> Here we go.

Ubuntu:

 ;D No idea ;D

Have fun.
