Hey, I need some help with mods for darwinia
I have beat the game, i have mods enabled in the preferences.txt
I downloaded the mods i want to the mods folder, and when i start the game
i can see the mods named for loading, i'll load the mod, and it'll take me to the beginning of the original game
meaning, the first map is the garden

Check the structure of the mods directory. You should see a file like "mods/[modname]/game.txt". If you see "mods/[modname]/[anythingelse]/game.txt", you have installed the mod with an extra directory. Make sure that the mod's directory is in the mods/ directory, and not buried any deeper. Also, make sure that you create a new profile for every mod that you use. Your problem is probably the first, but could be caused by the second.

Also, congratulations. I have not adblocked your avatar. That makes you one of a select group of people with animated avatars. That is not to say that I won't, later; but, for the moment, I like it.

Just out of curiosity: why did you get both versions? Loved the game so much you wanted it twice? ;)

Also, agreed. That is a nice animated avatar.

I own both too.
I bought Darwinia from Steam and later the tin box with both Multi and Darwi in it.

Yeah, i did the same thing, i bought the steam IV pack
and then i bought the Multiwinia tin
(btw, i am selling my steam version for $10)
(this is not spam)
;)
Anyway, thanks for your help, i know the profile problem is not the profile one
i have a seperate one for each mod
but i never checked the dir structer all the way through

Yeah, the glider is cool, i like the game of life, and it's also the hacker symbol :D

You do know you can't sell Steam games, right? They're tied to your account, and if you give the account to anyone it gets disabled.

Indeed. OotS is my absolute favourite comic in existence. The avatar is actually my original art, but it's in OotS style.
