There should be a guiborder.tga in dominions2.app/Contents/Resources. If there isn't then something has gone bad.

Bingo. DL'd the patch again, inspected the contents... not there. So I'm not going nuts after all... ooooorrrrrr........ am I?

I recommend reinstalling from the CD as the files can be found there.

Have already reinstalled (after trying Psitti's suggestion in post 2 this thread). Searched the CD for *.tga. Nothing. At least I seem to be asking the right questions (not my strong suit really...). Anyone else running into this problem? I even looked in the demo (on my soon-to-be previous computer) to see if that had it. No luck. I just can't figure where else to look, especially since I don't know what it does...

Are you sure? On my CD the file can be found at dominions2.app/Contents/Resources/guiborder.tga

I've looked on my CD. That folder isn't there. The item {dominions2.app} is marked as an application, not a folder with the attendant subfolders. (Always a problem looking for something when the place where it was is gone too...) I'm starting to get concerned that something else might be missing...

(Note: If I knew how to include a screen shot of the full contents of the disk, I would be doing so here... just to prove it.)
Update on previous search for .tga files... Changed the search to "ends .tga" and got a whole swarm of other .tga files but none named guiborder. So I must have been looking for it the wrong way the first time. But now I've searched right and still no success. Grrrr....
and yet the below is still true, as a concept...

I thought someone had mentioned this earlier, but you need to CONTROL CLICK on the Dom II application and then choose SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS from the contextual menu. This will open up a whole new folder in which you will find the things you seek.

For the result, look two Posts after (above) your previous post in this thread... But if I'm reading Johan's Last post correctly, the guiborder.tga file should have already been there when I installed from the CD the first time. And it wasn't.

Next?? This is getting to be quite a mystery... not that that's a problem, I like the odd mystery now and again...
