how do you get down loads to work properly I cant get them to
I am using mods like: forest of loren

[Endoperez]

You must download the mod file (packaged as zip or rar), open it using a program (winzip, winrar or something), and unpack the contents into your mods folder. The folder is in Dominions II\mods after you have patched the game and run it once, or you can just add a new folder named mods if one doesn't exist already.

After that, you have to enable the mod by going to the Preferences - Mod Preferences, and choose the mod you want to enable. Any pretenders done after enabling the mod will be done with the mod enabled, and any games started will be using the mod. If the mod changes costs of pretenders, you should always create a new pretender before using the mod. You cannot change a game to use or not to use a mod after it has been started.

I only have the evaluation version and I dont want to have to pay for proper winzip

[Endoperez]

Even the evaluation works, and both WinZip and WinRar have evaluation versions.

right I save it into the mods file, then I open winzip then what do I do???

If you've installed WinZip or WinRar, you should just right-click the file and choose the "Extract here" option. Alternatively, you open the file in the zip program, select all the files in it, then choose "extract" and tell it what folder to extract to.

Easy Edi, the guy's only 13. I'm pretty sure I couldn't operate WinZip when I was 13.

Hey Naresh - we have the same birthday! Pity I'm 22 years older than you, that makes me feel ancient.

There is nothing wrong in asking if one doesn't know. It becomes stupid only if you won't learn from it, and have to keep asking and asking and asking... When I first met a rar file, I didn't realize it was packaged.

ty I have done everthing that you said but I still cannot get it to work!

"...you see, that is why I installed Linux on the desktop for my retired parents: No Double- nor Right-clicking, no Winzip-Trials. Just click on it and it just works..."
