DESCRIPTION

OpenXcom is an open-source reimplementation of the classic strategy
games "X-COM: UFO Defense" (also known as "UFO: Enemy Unknown") and
"X-COM: Terror From The Deep" by Mythos Games/MicroProse. It keeps the
original turn-based tactical combat and geoscape strategy layer while
adding modern conveniences, mod support and numerous engine
improvements. This is a native AmigaOS 4.1 PPC build using SDL1.

This archive contains only the OpenXcom engine. It does NOT include the
original X-COM game data, which is still owned by their original
publisher and must be supplied by the user from their own legal copy of
the game(s) (e.g. from GoG or Steam).


INSTALLATION

1. Copy the whole OpenXcom drawer to wherever you like, e.g.
   SYS:Games/OpenXcom/.
2. Copy your own original UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense data
   into the "UFO" drawer, keeping the original subfolder structure:
     UFO/GEODATA/
     UFO/GEOGRAPH/
     UFO/MAPS/
     UFO/ROUTES/
     UFO/SOUND/
     UFO/TERRAIN/
     UFO/UFOGRAPH/
     UFO/UFOINTRO/
     UFO/UNITS/
3. Optional: copy your X-COM: Terror From The Deep data into the "TFTD"
   drawer (same subfolder structure as UFO/).
4. Double-click the OpenXcom icon, or start it from Shell:
     cd SYS:Games/OpenXcom
     openxcom

Folder layout:

  OpenXcom/
    openxcom
    common/     - engine-internal shared resources (included)
    standard/   - engine-internal ruleset data (included)
    UFO/        - your own original UFO: Enemy Unknown data goes here
    TFTD/       - your own original Terror From The Deep data goes here
                  (optional)

Options are written to PROGDIR:options.cfg on first start (no
assign/environment variable setup needed for config/saves).


LOGGING

The game log is written to PROGDIR:openxcom.log. Please check this
first if something doesn't work as expected, and include it when
reporting a bug.
