Game File Bug Fixes and Exploits
Game File Bug Fixes
Cash Rollover Bug Fix
If you have so much money that it all of a sudden it becomes negative (eg: $-2,168,000,000), you can delete the LIGLOB.DAT file and replace it from a new savegame. You cash becomes approx $4mil which is what is available from the new game.
Research Bug Fix
If your research progress has become corrupted due to the bugs in the research tree of TFTD, replace the RESEARCH.DAT, UP.DAT, PROJECT.DAT, PRODUCT.DAT, BPROD.DAT with files from a new saved game if you don't want to use a hex-editor.
Game File Exploits
Bottomless Money Pit
Insert a LIGLOB.DAT file from an old game that has lots of money, into a new game. You will inherit the cash balance of the old game. Or you can copy the file from a new savegame, in which case your cash becomes approx $4mil (the amount available at the start of a new game).
Enlightened Xcom
The Research Bug Fix (above) can be abused by inserting old files from a completed game into the save folder of a new game. The files to insert are UP.DAT, RESEARCH.DAT, FACIL.DAT and PRODUCT.DAT.
