Turbocharged AI vs Humanities Last Hope - Running

Doo · #1 January 30th, 2011, 04:47 PM

Gandalf has informed me of the game being ready for our pretenders.

I've emailed or PM'ed everyone the log in details, please log in and upload. Note the game starts as soon as the last person uploads their pretender, can I ask whoever that is to post in this thread that the game is underway please?

Good luck everyone. NT Jedi has told me he's betting on a human win but is expecting the AI to be putting up globals and giving a strong fight.

NT Jedi is betting on us, lets not let the rest of humanity down, lets kick the AI back into the 286 age!

Sorry guys. Just can not get the mod to get recognized by Dom3. I've downloaded and unzipped like 5 times now both directly into the mod file and not and then manually moving it over after extraction. Any ideas on what Im doing wrong. I used to run mods on WoW so I've done this type of thing before. Not sure what I'm bungling right now.

What operating system?
And when you connect to the game, what does it tell you?

Win Xp and it says i need the Mod installed. When i look for it under options the game isnt seeing it.

Very strange.
Dont be offended but my first question is... where did you buy the game from?

You shouldnt HAVE to turn on the mod manually. But you might try going starting Dom3, going to Preferences, then to Mod preferences. You should now see a list of every .dm file that the game can see in your dominions3/mods/ directory (notice that its mods; not mod, Mod, or MODS)

if you put this in your web browser
file:///C:/Program%20Files/dominions3/mods
does it show you the .dm file? Can you click on it and view it?

Endo, can you .zip up your Dom3 mods folder and upload that to the forums here (attach it to one of your posts with that paperclip button)? Then we can see what you've got in there.

Also, do you have more than one install of Dom3 on your box? Ie. did you make a backup copy of your Dom3 install when you went to patch up to 3.26 (or at any time previously)? Basically, you should confirm that when you're launching Dom3, you're launching the instance of Dom3 that you've been installing the BI mod to, and not some alternative copy of Dom3 (check the path in the Dom3 shortcut you use to launch the game).

The *.dm file should exist within the Dominions_3\Mods folder and then another folder should list the mod itself. When Dominions_3 first starts click "Preferences" and then "mod preferences" is where you should see it listed.

If my work was not so busy I would release a new version of my AI mod and also finish my Arabian Nights nation mod.
