TDM-ModPack v3.20 released

Same problem as on 3.11, the exe doesn't run on my XP system

Hey! My new computer runs XP. Does this mean I can't have TDM any more?

Ok, first of all: If anything isn't working with the EXE but it gives you an error message please be so kind and report this error message so I can help you. Thanks!

Troubleshooting list:
1.) DON'T rename the file except to the names specified in the links, i.e. TDM3xxto320.exe or TDM320Full.exe.

2.) Read the instructions during install carefully. The program has problems with very long path names (in fact the standard path for SE4 IS to long for the program) and there is a special install option if you encounter this problem. So read the instructions carefully and take the right bend at the right time. Just clicking "OK" and "Yes" will not do the trick for everyone!

3.) If the background "XCopy Dos Window" is not closing after installation (it should close if you haven't altered your windows settings) then try to close this dos box manually. If the EXE is still not proceeding, kill it too, the install process is already done, there is just a finishing message waiting for you that you don't need.

4.) It should work with standard XP. At least it does on the machines I have tested it on.

5.) There are 4 ways to get the files onto your system: Auto, manual, emergency and single file install. Make sure to check them out if you have a problem!

Thanks!

I run XP professional and I haven't had any problems. the EXE does take a while to find the xcopy.exe. you just have to be patience.

Maybe that's my problem. I have my SE4 program on an external hard drive. Would it automatically look at the C: drive first before going to another drive?

I love the TDM-MOD. Just a quick question. Any plans to make it compatible with proportions Mod?

Work is in progress If you check proportions' readme files for Pequininos, Soul Hunters and Nostropholo, you will see that the starting point for those races have been TDM Aquelinenas(sp.)/Pyrochette AI by Master Belizarious. The profound gameplay difference between stock SE and Proportions makes the transition very difficult. If you "adapt" any TDM race and turn it to Proportion style, we all will be very greatfull !

Mine won't install either. I'm getting "unable to copy" for the defensive AI politics file.

Any suggestions?
