Mod Problem

Postby Sirthomasthegreat » Fri Oct 13, 2006 1:51 am

I've changed what I want a nuke to look like and what I want a city to look like but when I changed it back over to a DAT file and ran the game it said that the english.txt file was wrong, I've backed up the original so im not SOL but I still want to know what went wrong because I never even touched the english.txt file. Help?

Do everything you did, except DON'T repack the main.dat, it reads the extracted content first, and for everything it can't find it resorts to the main.dat
"Surely you didn't mean to press that button just then did you?"
"No, nor will i disarm the nukes."
"Oh well, I will have my Fighters shoot them down."
"Sure you will."
"Oh NOES, ITS BEEN PATCHED!!!"

yeah you do NOT need to repack the main.dat, this is just the default game data, graphics, et cetera. If you use or make custom content just put it straight in to the /data/ folder and Defcon will read these files with priority over what is in the main.dat
