Discussion / Installling UFO on new(er) machine

« on: July 28, 2014, 03:45:33 pm »

Hello, I have a problem. I was recently 'gifted' with a Dell Dimension 8400 tower. I already had UFO: Alien Invasion installed my old Dell Dimension GX270. I'm in the process of migrating my computer stuff over to the new machine and wanted to install UFO. I saw that a newer version was available so I downloaded 2.5.
    I installed it, but when I went to start the game, it aborted. I'm running windows XP Home Edition on the new computer. XP Pro edition on the old. So I uninstalled the game and downloaded the 2.4 version. Again, it aborted when I attempted to start the game. I don't know what the problem is. Any suggestions?

Discussion / Naming Soldiers

« on: July 28, 2014, 05:55:14 am »

Is there a text file within the game listing the names of all the soldiers scientists pilots etc from which the game draws, and if so is it editable? I would like to go in and replace those names with my own custom names, instead of renaming them on the fly during game play. But I'm not sure where to look for the text file (if it in fact exists). Thanks in advance. Great game BTW.
