Hello everyone.
First of all; let me congratulate the developers with a great game. I am impressed, and have had allot of fun with it.
I am thinking about contributing, and to test the waters I decided I should do a small patch (I hope that is the right term..)
Right now all my soldiers grabs their gear when a UFO is approaching the base... but then they go and hide in the bathroom.
, so I want to make a small patch that moves the soldiers from the inside to the outside during a base attack.
I started following the mapping tutorial, but immediately I have ran into a problem; my uforadiant file is not an executable! It is a 46MB file without any file extension, and simply adding the .exe gives me a windows error.
I hope I don't need to download all the required software and compile it myself, as this was only going to be a small project to familiarize myself with the basics....
//edit ; Found a working map editor on the downloads page - the link in the tutorial doesn't work...
//edit 2; And that was the new maps complied
Once I figure out how to package the patch I'll upload it
