It will show the files inside the package just like a zip folder and you can individually unpack them as you please.

The patch is luckily non umod, anyway.


Thanks a lot Dave! Got everything installed and working :D cheers!

A couple of months ago I replayed First Day (second release) on Unreal difficulty.
As usual my primary goal was to get the killcount as high as possible, without reverting to "kill and save". In fact there were only 2 maps where I needed a save. I can't remember which was the first map, but it was a a map where at a certain point I had to jump through a large valve into an area which was impossible to see but the sound clearly suggested the presence of at least 2 Skaarj. Eventually I did find a way to kill 1 Skaarj by blind dropping a couple of rockets and jumping in to kill the second one, while the third was still/or again at the end of the corridor.
The most difficult map in which I needed 2 savepoints is probably also the largest map. Just before jumping into an area with 4 (or more) large Skaarj running around a pool of green slime, and the next the area with metal stairways going up and round the area with many hidden Skaarj popping out of high metal constructions.
I've kept a printscreen of each map ending and will post them one of these days (when I get home).
Needless to say it was a really pleasurable experience and the changes compared to the first release are well done (one area though - which was a bit unfair in the first release, where a code had to be entered to open a door, and it's on a timer - has become a simple stroll on Unreal and was a bit of a letdown).

I had a crazy thought today. Play the final map on Unreal ("to the surface") and survive without destroying the teleporter.
The only cheating done was summoning all weapons, full health and full shield but on Unreal difficulty I can't manage it (yet). So switched to Hard and on the third try: success.
Funny enough, then activating the destroyer is useless because apparently the destroy sequence only starts if there are still enemies around so no ending sequence :(.

OldUnreal UTSP archive has Project Xenome First Day already in updated flavor and with Interloper slipstreamed in, thanks to UB's fixes gotten from the other topic. Look for:

PXFirstDayUPD for episode 1 alone
PXFirstDayUPD_Interloper for episodes 1 and 2.
