Postby ben_lumumba » Fri Aug 29, 2008 7:35 pm

Hallo,greetings too all defcons...
Just started this great game.The same as "war games"
Besause I am new have no idea how to use all those great mods.
Should I copy .rar in my defcon dir. ?
I was playing with deep sea but that was all.
different mods are installed differently I gues.
Thanks for any help

Hi Ace,
And thank you for fast response.
But the problem is as soon I instale,i.e. unzip deepsee mods in c:\programe\defcon\Mods I get crush and can`t start defcon game.So it has to be some trick.
Thank you anyway,I must find that trick

best regards
Ben

Can you give some more details?

Like what OS, where exactly did you put the mod, which version of Defcon do you have? ...

~\Defcon\Mods\deepsea Should look something like that for Windows.

OK

it is MS Windows XP
Home Edition Version 2002
Service pack 2

Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.53 GHz
768 RAM

I was playing with "satcon" mode,GREAT,it was okay
and than next time I can`t start game
and got error message that defcon has problem and must end
I put it in:
d:\programm\mods\satcon\ or
d:\programm\mods\deepsea\ or any other subdirectory
installed with appropriate mod
that would be all.Sometimes works other times not.
It is strange

Best regards
Ben

By chance did you try to have two map mods activated at the same time? (mods that have altered territories, not just altered graphics)

I would suggest removing all mods in your directory and then put them back one by one making sure you don't have two map mods activated at the same time.
