Title: Problem with Mods (all of them) + (We all Love Freebies!)
Post by: Chibi on September 17, 2008, 12:38:14 am: Concerning the many times when I've attempted to look at a picture or download a mod just to find that I have to pay to see it; please check if the fiscally-challenged (me ;) ) have access to all the wonderful content that you're posting. Thanks!

BTW, I completed all the steps I needed to do to play [TheBear]'s mod, but when I started the game, the background was composed of black squares with large red "x"s on a white background. I could still move Naija, but the map was an infinite desert (just a metaphor, if you're wondering ;) ). Thanks for the help!

"EDIT" the defect happens with every mod I do, saying that it can't read a "main.txt" document. >:D

Any way try this thread http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=569.0 (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=569.0) and if you can't find anything on it there try the other stickies :)

Post by: Chibi on September 18, 2008, 12:39:15 am: What are stickies? I haven't been able to find any, only vague references to making something a "sticky." Thanks :)

EDIT: found out what stickies were: (bold posts marked with thumbtack and paper)

EDIT: the problem was something with a "main.txt" document. Hope that helps.

Post by: Chibi on September 19, 2008, 12:55:30 am: Actually, I'm still struggling with the problem :( I've tried everything I could think of, but the mysterious main.txt document doesn't seem to exist. I'll try emailing Alec to see if I don't have the right files to play the mods. Thanks for your posts!

Post by: Danger Mouse on September 19, 2008, 02:52:49 am: Bummer, hopefully you'll have the issue fixed before a beta of my mod is completed and released.

That is a bummer Chibi,. but I really meant finding the right help thread... I hope that you get it solved soon.

Just one thing that I have just thought of, did you download the latest patch?
Title: Re: Problem with Mods (all of them) + (We all Love Freebies!)
Post by: Chibi on September 20, 2008, 12:19:35 am: Yeah, I have version 1.0.3 (and can't wait until v. 1.10)

Post by: silverflagon on September 20, 2008, 12:25:06 am: Then I have no other suggestions, except have you emailed Alec?

Post by: Chibi on September 20, 2008, 01:00:42 am: Yeah, but I've not received any return (to be fair, one of my previous complaints has been answered, and Alec's understandably busy)
