Convert Gold Edition into Vanilla - For Mod Compatibility

By Antr4cite

This guide explains how to convert the Gold Edition (aka Lite Bman's Easy Mod) into the original version (Vanilla). This will make your game compatible with the community mods.

After converting your game you may want to try the complete version of Bman's Easy Mod.

The complete version of Bman's Easy Mod has more content and fixes some major bugs from the Gold Edition, like the game crashing when selling buildings repeatedly or the unlimited Desert Spirit vehicles exploit.

Steps

1. Optional: backup the following files:

UFO Extraterrestrials Gold\data\bman.xbg
UFO Extraterrestrials Gold\data\geoscape.xbg
UFO Extraterrestrials Gold\data\system.xbg
UFO Extraterrestrials Gold\UFO_ET.exe

2. Delete the file bman.xbg (and the bmaneaseofuse.ini if it exists)

3. Replace geoscape.xbg with the vanilla version.

4. Apply the official patch - patch2

Download Link 1[www.ufo-extraterrestrials.com]
Download Link 2[www.media-fire.com]

This patch includes all the fixes from previous patch1 and will copy the following files to your installation folder:

.data\patch.xbg
.data\system.xbg
patch2.txt
ProjectX.exe
UFO_ET.exe

ProjectX.exe and UFO_ET.exe are binary identical. So, if you want, delete ProjectX.exe.

Now, your game is no more the Gold version (EN-20091004 BMan’s Mod) but the Vanilla version (EN-20071001).

Antr4cite, Please change the link to the loader. Links are mostly invalid or blocked. I really need these files. And even better is the mod version 4.07

"isn´t it earth with bmans full mod?"
No. Bman's mod doesn't change the planet. For that you need the GrayFiend's-UniMod (http://ufogr.com/en/install/) . It's based in the Bman's Mod with lots of improvements.
