Installing VanillaTD

Toni Spets edited this page Feb 28, 2021 · 9 revisions

For best results, create a new empty directory to install VanillaTD into. Copy the build artifacts of your platform into this like the game executable (vanillatd.exe, sdl2.dll and openal32.dll on Windows).

The paths in the first column are relative to the root directory of your VanillaTD executable. Filename casing doesn't matter on case sensitive filesystems.

We currently do not support the unofficial v1.06c patch by Nyerguds.

Retail

If you have physical retail CDs you can copy some of the files directly from them when the CD is mounted. If you are using the freeware release you can use something like 7-Zip to directly extract the necessary files from their respective ISO images.

You also need a tool to extract files from SETUP.Z. It's an InstallShield archive.
