XcomUtil eh?

Where wouldst I be obtaining this... *thinks of medieval term* brave... piece of computer software?

I don't mind cheating with crafts, I just despise those who use money cheats!

P.S. does it work for the original UFO/X-COM?

[Jman4117]

It works with all versions of UFO/TFTD.

Holy crap that thing is AWESOME!

Woo now I don't have to bother fighting at night.

And the Heavy Laser is good, if expensive!

WOOOOO!

Wow... that is awesome. Go the Guass Weapons now! WOOOOO!

Sorry... ummm... yeah....

TfTD hint for the say: PWT is merde, apart from for defences. PWT defence is fantastic, get it, but have Sonic Oscillators on your ships.

WOOOO XcomUtil! :guns: Wooo Manta kicks behind!

Hi Guys..I am a newcomer to the X-com series..I am even a new comer for anygame dating before 1997 or 1998.. My first real contact with abandonned games was 2 weaks ago when i started downloading stuff form this site..This is why you will have to forgive me for a question about this game that might look stupid for "little experienced" players: i am playing this game now, didn't go so far yet but i am still unable to load tanks -or whatever they are called- to the Triton..So how to do this? Thanks for whoever will answer this question..

The tanks in this are called Golgumeths or something like that, they are very expensive and the torpedo ones only fire underwater.

For this reason, research Guass technology until you can get guass Golgumeths and also Guass craft cannons, which are quite good, especially compared to normal craft cannons.

They are just a normal item to load and it will tell you if there is not enough ammunition for the tanks.

They are listed under 'SWS' once loaded.

It's "coelacanth"
I don't know about you guys, but my TFTD game loves to jump out to windows so often, even when i'm running it from dosbox. Maybe it's just short of memory? :blink:

Mine's fine, but I use Windows 98SE with DOS, so I should be alright.

Shame yours doesn't work, it's quite a good game.

The original is better though.

Well, a tank needs the same amount of space as 4 people - look at the top of the "Ships" screen, and make sure you have space on your Triton (I think it's max is 14, so you can onnly use 10) and then add a tank in the Equipment screen.

TftD is far better than Xcom 1 - I much prefer the difficulty level. Added to that, the music is incredibly atmospheric!

If you want the game to be hard, use X-COM Util and make the original harder.

The original has better graphics and smoother gameplay, plus the research tree is way easier to get to grips with.

Thanks Jim6! This will eliminate a big handicap in my game..
