no mod folder
 

got new computer installed dom 3 and there is no mod folder. tried to reinstall several times and same result. what the hell

Re: no mod folder
 

That's normal. New installation has no mods. Therefore no need for a mods folder.
Just make one.

I think that's right anyway. At least try adding a mods folder, putting a mod in it and seeing if it's available.

that does not work. i know i did not have to do that before

Re: no mod folder
 

Taking a quick look at my own setup, I don't have a mods directory in the main install directory. I do have one in my personal dominions3 directory (where savedgames live).

This is on Linux, so I don't know how it translates...

Re: no mod folder
 

the mods folder was always in install right under the maps folder. no longer there

Re: no mod folder
 

I don't know what to say.

My install doesn't have a mods directory. The install I just did in a temp directory also doesn't.

If making a mods folder doesn't let you use mods, I don't know what to say. Maybe someone more familiar with the Windows version can suggest something.

Re: no mod folder
 

The operating system and the version of it does many alot of difference.
Is this Linux. Windows, Mac? If its Windows is it WinXP or sooner?

Re: no mod folder
 

windows vista

Re: no mod folder
 

Didn't vista have some sort of rule that application could only do stuf in a strange folder? Like documents and settings/blabla/applications/dominions3/?

Are the savegames also stored there? Perhaps try to put a mod dir in the same directory as the savegames directory.

Re: no mod folder
 

(driveletter, i.e C):\Users\(your username)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\dominions3\mods

It may be hidden depending on settings.

Damn The Man.
