Default A problem viewing battles

I am C'Tis in the "Huntsman" shepards game. Whenever I try to view a battle replay involving a non-C'Tis pretender the game crashes with "myloadmalloc: can't open ./mods/./shepards/nereus1.tga" (or whichever pretender is involved)

When I installed the mod, it did not make a mods/shepards directory. I made one manually and copied all the shepards files there, but I still get the crash.

on my machine the mod creates a subdirectory called ".xvpics" in the shepherds directory.

There is a nereus1.tga among a few other files in there, so try if it works once you create the folder and move the files there.
The file in the .xvpics directory is much smaller(3.58kb) than the nereus1.tga in the shepherds directory(48 kb). So maybe you have the wrong one in the shepherds directory.

Hope it works so you can witness the awesomeness that my pretender is .

Thanks Turin - that was the problem. Whatever I used ti unzip did not create the .xvpics directory (and the XP GUI would not let me create a directory with a leading . I had to open a command prompt to make it)

Your pretender is, indeed, one badass mofo.
