![]() ![]() The game crashes as soon as I choose to go to T'leth. There now is an option in the INI to disable error messages. Bomb_bloke wrote an updated splitter: see this discussion. TFTD Extender and XcomUtil: Crash/errors when leaving Geoscape/starting a battle Kyrub identified a problem with the way XcomUtil splits the executable. (2)Disable the option to skip the intro movie, especially if you are using a split executable such as with xcomutil. (1)This can be caused by not having the video options configured correctly. I get a crash message as soon as I run the Extender. Others may need to disable even the basic settings if they intend to use another mod program, such as XcomUtil. Some graphic cards have a problem with the initial video settings and require D3D to be enabled. It is up to the users to configure the INI file to their needs. The initial settings in the INI are very basic since user preferences and systems are so varied. When I run the Extender, I have problems loading or I get garbled graphics. Starting with version 1.07, a new way to play music has been implemented so mp3 playback should work despite codecs. See this discussion on how to isolate and resolve this. Problems with mp3 playing: Crash or no sound This is usually a codec problem with the OS music player. They are provided here: File:TFTDmidi.zip Some digital downloads are missing the midi music in the SOUND folder. ![]() Why don't I have music after installing the Extender? The CE version uses midi files for the soundtrack. Instead of running via Steam, just run TFTDExtender directly from that folder. If you have a Steam installation, locate the TFTD game folder and install there.The program looks for the file named "Terror from the Deep.exe" but this can be changed by editing the line under the section marked at the beginning of the TFTDextender.INI file. To run the game with the extender, use "TFTDextender.exe" and not the usual game executable.Look at this page or refer to ExtenderINIref.txt in the TFTD game directory for exact details on each option. Use a simple text editor (like MS notepad) to open TFTDextender.INI and enable the options you wish, usually by changing the number on the entry line to 1.Click "Yes" to overwrite the current file. Extract the full version first and then the patch. You need a program able extract zip files. Extract the contents to your TFTD folder where the "Terror from the Deep.exe" file is located.Download the latest full version and latest patch by clicking on the title above to get to the file section.This is not necessary starting with version 1.07 If you want to use the mp3 patch, you need to have Windows Media Player installed.You'll need the MS VC2008 runtime to use TFTDextender.It is not compatible with the DOS version nor will it run through DOSbox as the memory handling and offsets are different. Installation NOTE: This program only works with the Windows version of Terror from the Deep (usually referred to as the Collector's Edition (CE) or the Gold Edition). Tycho You can also reach me through the Strateg圜ore forum for TFTD Extender, where also I am called "Tycho". ![]() Changes will require you to restart the loader to have them take effect.įeel free to contact me with any questions and please don't hesistate to report any problem you encounter with this, I'll try to help you fix it. Some changes are recorded in a game's save files so be aware of this fact when you change options and wonder why some changes don't work on games already in progress. Of course, if your computer stops responding and starts chanting verses in an inhuman language, I don't take any responsability. It also means that any data mods that one may wish to use should not conflict. The advantage is that it won't change the file on disk so there is little risk of destroying your game installation (still, it is wise to do a backup of your game folder before using this). The extender patches the program in memory, it does not modify the executable. Almost all applicable fixes and mods that were made for UFO Extender have been successfully imported and new mods and fixes specifically for this game have been added since the initial version. When he became unable to continue development on his project, Tycho released another version called TFTDextender, which was based on Xusilak's original code and had more functionality than Kyrub's version. In March of 2012, Kyrub released an updated version called TFTD Extender, which had limited functionality. He made a lot of notations on various subroutines and variables used throughout the executable. Xusilak released a prototype, called TFTDloader, that offered players the ability to run the CE, or Gold, version without video problems in September 2010. This is a conversion of Seb76's UFOloader. ![]()
