Mod: Nosophoros - The Vampire Lords

[XLegend]

Hey again guys,

Thilock, I copied the files in the UI folder to the dominions 3 folder in my computer with all the stuff in it for the game. It changed the bars that used to be brown to sort of marble (black run through with white). The mod itself still won't work because it can't find the flag for it.

(This was just tried with the latest version .82)

I don't know what your problem is. You're the only one reported it. It might be some kind of weird Vista bug

Try change the path of the flag in the .dm file or rename the flag etc.
It's in Nosophoros.dm line 3175
#flag "./Nosophoros/flag/flag.tga"

What about other mods, can you get them to work?

Yes I've had no trouble with any other mod I've ever downloaded. The only difference that I can tell between this mod and every other one is first the UI folder, and that the nosophoros folder (not the UI) has a bunch of other folders in it, like banner, commanders, flag, etc, Where as every other mods folder just contains
e.g Armored Lowblood 1.tga, Armored Lowblood1a.tga (Nephilim mod)

it just lists seemingly everything in the mod and then .tga and yours has folders and such.

Yep, that is right. There's a bunch of folders (units/commanders etc.), it shouldn't have any effect as long as the path is correct in the .dm file.

Note, it's only the UI folder that goes to dom3, the other files and folders goes to where you normally put your mods.
Have you checked if your extract software is extracting the flag folder + flag.tga correctly?

How would I check that exactly? When I put the Nosophoros folder in the mods folder it says that things like banner and such are already there so I have to skip all those things for it to copy, but thats the only unordinary thing about the regular folder going into the mods folder, and the files in the UI folder don't have any trouble going in the dominions folder they just copy and replace the regular files

[Thilock_Dominus]

If the the flag.tga is in the flag folder it's correct (when unpacked).

Okay, lets try something else;

move flag.tga up to Nosophoros folder ( ~/dominions3/mods/Nosophoros)
and change the line 3175 in Nosophoros.dm from

#flag "./Nosophoros/flag/flag.tga"

to

#flag "./Nosophoros/flag.tga"

(note, there's diffrence in lower case and upper case letters).
See if it works.


another thing you can try;

switch the flag.tga out from another mod and see if it have any effect.
