Convert Gold Edition into Vanilla - For Mod Compatibility
![Post Post](./styles/UFO2style/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
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.
