Go figure - I do tech support as well, and have the Nick Burns episodes in .avi on my PC Must be where we all get our love of logistics in SE IV!

I've actually types up pages of documentation (along with screen captures) for them, so I got a chuckle when I read SJs first response

GrowlTigga:

Yeah, hate to replay that thread!

The next TDM-ModPack might feature an "Install Shield" and with some luck it might be even capable of finding SE4 on its own. No more hassling with the pack...

Hrmph. Here I was, thinking that the shrapnel forum was down (I could see any other site, and even shrapnels homepage), when it is just IE that refuses to load it.
Netscape 4.7 slogs through a slow transfer, and a few broken images, and here I am.

To start with, go here and download TDMv3.00.zip, unless you can find a TDM Version 3 on your CD, then just copy instead of downloading.

Images: (interlaced, and kept down to 50Kb each, so some look better than others)
#1.gif: Starting Download from the SE4 AI file-posting thread..
#2.gif: Save to a nice place.
#3.gif: Find your download.
#4.gif: Open Zip with Winzip.
#5.gif: Open Extraction dialog.
#6.gif: Find SE4 directory, and press extract.
#7.gif: Extracting TDM
#8.gif: Open "My Computer"
#9.gif: Browse to SE4, and note "TDM-Modpack" is one of the folders.
#10.gif: Open Path.txt
#11.gif: Change the path, and save.
#12.gif: Close Path.txt, and Run Se4
#13.gif: SE4 loading, with TDM text in the corner.
#14.gif: TDM races are available.

SJ,

Does it seem around 11-12pm the Last few nights, the shrapnel forum has been down? It happened to me Last night too. Every other site works fine too. Are you using rogers@home?

I have the same problems. Must be the server.

Anyway, I have posted the TDM-ModPack with an Install Shield that should be capable of locating the right directory on its own.

Grab it here.
