	This is a conversion of Seb76's UFOloader. Xusilak released a prototype, called TFTDloader, that offered players the ability to run the CE, or Gold, version without video problems in September 2010. He made a lot of notations on various subroutines and variables used throughout the executable. In March of 2012, Kyrub released an updated version called TFTD Extender, which had limited functionality. When he became unable to continue development on his project, Tycho released another version called TFTDextender, which was based on Xusilak's original code and had more functionality than Kyrub's version. Almost all applicable fixes and mods that were made for UFO Extender have been successfully imported and new mods and fixes specifically for this game have been added since the initial version. Version 1.02 was released in June, ~~2014~~.		This is a conversion of Seb76's UFOloader.

	The extender patches the program in memory, '''it does not modify the executable'''. The advantage is that it won't change the file on disk so there is little risk of destroying your game installation (still, it is wise to do a backup of your game folder before using this). It also means that any data mods that one may wish to use should not conflict. Of course, if your computer stops responding and starts chanting verses in an inhuman language, I don't take any responsability...
