Getting the mods to work

Postby Cnl_Death » Tue Apr 01, 2008 9:49 am

Ok...... new to online play, just got full version, decided to help myself to the joy of some new mods to make my Defcon more personalised. Now please try to hold back on the 'search for this topic before you post or whatever'. The mods work but not in the way that they were intended to I think. In the menu there is the mods list.... you pick one it works. With mine I cannot select a given mod...... The mod has replaced the standard icons excetera...... I'm not too fussed about this but would prefer to have it work 'properly'. Can someone help me out without too much technical garbage or insults,
Regards..... Cnl_Death

Care to elaborate?

Maybe it's just me, but that statement doesn't make much sense. Do you mean the ingame 'fleet/territory' icons et cetera?
In that case, some mods change those icons too - if you don't want them to, delete the files in question in the mods/modname/data/graphics and mods/modname/data/gui directory.

What? You're not making much sense. What exactly is your problem, and it is occuring with all mods?

That's what about 9/10 of the mods out there do, what mod are you using?

Sounds like you installed them to the wrong place, did you create a mods folder and place the mod folders inside of it?
