TDM-ModPack 3.11

[Marco]

Please, can you post a new Version in the traditional zipfile format? I made some personal modification to some TDM-ModPack race and I want to prevent overwriting by the self-installing program.
Thanks.

Another small quirk with installer : I had a screen "hang up" at 100% completed ... ! it was in fact waiting for the "xcopy" DOS command window to be shut down, but this one was not visible ! Luckily I alt-tabbed and seen what happened !

perhaps this is due to some DOS-window option I've put so that they don't close automatically, can't remember ...

There is no need for a zip Version. Either choose "Single file install" just at the beginning of the install process or choose "manual install" when asked how to install. Both will install the pack or parts of it into the folder you choose.

Guess so but honestly I cannot do anything about this. I cannot give a command via the installer to close the window if it won't do it automatically. On the bright side, the only thing you miss is the "You have installed it" end window.

I had the same problem with the installer, it just sat there when it was done. Also I don't see 3.11 anyhwere. When I boot the mod launcher it still says the Version is 3.10??? How do you confirm that you have indeed installed 3.11 and are running it?

Thanks for the prompt answer Mephisto, I will download the .exe file this evening.

Darn, some small things one will always overlook. I have fixed the files now. The readme.txt is correct so you can determine which Version you are running.

Hi there,

I am having some problems with the installer too. Basically, I believed after unpacking all the files to C:\SE4TEMP, the xcopy failed to copy it to the directory I wanted. Xcopy start and stop almost immediately and making it hard to read what is the error message. My OS is WinXP Pro and I know xcopy is there.

The directory that I want it to be installed was in D drive instead of C. I thought that might be the problem and in the end, I choose to install it to C:\temp and I still encounter the same problems.

The thing is, xcopy starts and stop and fooled the installer to think that the installation is successful and thus delete the C:\SE4TEMP direcotry. Thus, I am unable to copy the TDM-Modpack directly.

I can choose "single file" options and extarct it myself. This is good, until I realised that the installer ignore the path of the files. So when I asked the installer to extarct all the files(via shift-click) to \TDM-Modpack directory, it puts all the file into that directory. It didn't create all those subdirectory (such as \Pictures\Races\...) when extracting some files. I don't really want to end up creating all the subdirectory myself and install the appropiate files manually.

Is there anything that I can do? or does anyone know where I can file the zipfile for 3.11 Online? I know the creator didn't think it is necessary, but I'm having problem with the installer.

Thank you very much,
-Joe
