Installation of UFO:AI game package

You will find all the data you need for settings up version 1.5 or higher of GTKRadiant in our svn at src/tools/gtkradiant. Your GTKRadiant installation folder will have a games and several folders ending with .game. Just copy the file games/ufoai.game to your games folder for your GTKRadiant installation. After that copy the folder ufoai.game to your installation folder, too.

Now you are ready to run the editor and start mapping. The first time you start GTKRadiant, it will ask you for the game you want to create maps. Select UFO:AI and everybody is happy :). You can check the checkbox at the bottom to prevent the display of this dialoge everytime you start GTKRadiant.

Installation of UFO:AI plugin

There is a plugin in development for GTKRadiant 1.5 and higher which will allow you to filter the different levelflags. This is currently work in progress. See TODO for more information about this topic.

Also see Compile and use GTKRadiant plugin
