I'm sure that's it! I recall now, that I had trouble installing Skitso's maps...didn't understand the instructions, and attempted to unzip it directly into the assets/tiles folders. That failed, and I ended up installing it (again) in its own sub-directory. So I'll try to do another install, then copy/replace the assets/tiles folders over to old install (don't want to lose my saved game). Thanks!

I don't presume to understand how these mods work, but I used Stinky's maps for many missions and they had no black tiles, and they're not even loaded in this new game I've started. The only mod I have active is Skitso's. So do I need to actually delete Stinky's maps? Could they be conflicting even though they're not loaded in this game? Also I've noted not only black tiles, but some obstacles that affect movement but do not appear visually. I assume its the same issue as the black tiles.

Thanks for the help! Your 'another way' option worked, once I stopped using the Win8.1 default "Opener" program and tried 7-zip instead. Love these new maps! But I wonder why I'm not seeing floors inside some buildings...just blackness.

I've installed Stinky maps with ease. They're .zip files. I can't seem to get this mods .rar to install. I'm on Windows 8.1. When I click on the downloaded .rar it unzips into the xenonauts directory, so now I see Skitsos Ultimate.... folder right in there with /assets and /extras and GCLevelEditor, etc. Now when I start the game, the 'load mod' pulldown still shows the Stinky map packs, but not Skitso's. If I click 'install new mod', I see the unzipped Skitso's folder, along with the zipped versions of Stinky Maps. If I click the unzipped Skitso folder I simply drill down into its component folders. No way to install it here. I even moved the downloaded .rar file into the Xenonauts directory, but again when I click 'install new mod' I don't see the .rar... I only see the unzipped version of it. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you Sir!

I have 1.09 and would like to try the latest version. Where are the instructions on patching the game?

While this must have been a non-issue for most, I couldn't get the game properly installed. I did a full download of the zipped version, and after unzipping to a folder on my desktop (XP SP3), I made a shortcut to the exe file, clicked, and the launcher window opens with the following error ... Can't load image from file 'assets/launcher/play-button.png': file does not exist. In looking through the folder where I installed the game, I don't see any subfolders at all... no 'assets', no 'launcher' folders. So I'm guessing I didn't install properly. Are there installation instructions around somewhere?
