OpenXCOM supports Terror from the Deep, the script does not try to install it #171

The game content is expected to be installed into TFTD directory at the same level UFO one resides.

I don't know If this is a question or a bug 😅 PiKISS doesn't install game content (check the README.md) protected by laws in some countries. I'm compiling the latest code just in case, and it now appears 2 directories: TFTD & UFO. I guess now you can install both and choose the game you prefer (If you copy the game content from your original copy of the game, of course).

Sorry, my bad. The ticket is not exactly correct. I'm saying about the "magic air copy" part of the script.

That part works only if the source is a pre-made archive and not a directory. I cannot point magic-air-copy-pikiss.txt to a live installation of the game on my PC, for example. If it's /media/pi/EXTERNAL_DRIVE/games/UFO, where the directory contains common standard TFTD UFO openxcom.exe README.md CHANGELOG.txt LICENSE.txt the script creates ~/games/openxcom/UFO, puts everything into it (we have ~/games/openxcom/UFO/UFO, ~/games/openxcom/UFO/TFTD and unneeded ~/games/openxcom/UFO/{common,standard,openxcom.exe,README.md,...}.

So, it does not create ~/games/openxcom/TFTD and puts wrong content info ~/games/openxcom/UFO.

That may be applicable to Heroes3 too, for example. I have to have a local installation of the game on my PC and http-accessible archive of Data&Maps&Mp3 as well.

I believe it's better if "installation from directory" takes only required files and puts them into proper places.

Ok, so is working If you copy your game files into the game's directory manually, but not through a directory using magic-air-copy-pikiss.txt, right?

  1. It works if copying files manually,
  2. It works if magic-air-copy takes files from a premade archive,
  3. It does not work if magic-air-copy takes files from directory. First it takes more files than required, second it places them incorrectly.
