Установка мода Area 51 не отличается от установки абсолютного большинства модов для OpenXcom. Скачав актуальную версию мода, извлеките архив. В итоге вы получите примерно вот такую папку с файлами:
Ваши дальнейшие действия зависят от того, как вы устанавливали игру.
Если вы выбрали Portable установку, то папка для модов будет находится в папке с игрой по пути X:_место установки_OpenXcom_user_mods
Если вы устанавливали игру в обычном режиме, то папка для модов будет находится по пути: Documents_MyGames_Openxcom_mods или Documents_OpenXcom_mods
Это, кстати говоря, ещё одна причина, почему стоит выбрать портативную установку. Теперь вам просто необходимо скопировать или перенести всю папку Area 51 в папку mods
Дело за малым, активировать мод в настройках игры. Запускаем игру, нажимаем параметры, в самом внизу вкладка моды, в самом низу списка добавленные нами моды.
Приятной игры.
Извините, пока нету времени перевести:
