No Mods show up , followed all instructions to the letter.. no joy :(

April 11, 2009 2:48:14 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

hi guys as title says cant even get them to show up , tried a few different ones no joy what so ever. ived made sure ive downloaded the mods that are compataible with my game version.

 im running xp pro , and running the digital downloaded version of the game with entrenchment both fully up to date.

heres my path ive'd used as it says when i press the show path in the mod in-game menu

C:\Documents and Settings\Dame\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.02

 further note incase this is a issue , ive just reinstalled windows fresh everything fully updated. the game itself hasnt played , well ive started a random map and surrendered just to much sure the new add-on worked.

 any help would be much appreciated.

make sure you use the right entrenchment path, from what i seen so far every new version uses a new folder for some reason (unless this was changed in the last patch). also, did you install the mod corectly?

  thx for a quick reply. 

i had to make the folder myself , inside the Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire was nothing , ive also download the 7 deadly sins mod and put the in another folder \Mods-v1.16 although the readme says its compataible with v1.15 just whats to see it mods worked in the orginal version.

so inside the Mods-Entrenchment v1.02 i have the mods in there own folders ?

well essentialy just asking if you had all parts of the mod in a single folder. not 100% what would cause it not to show up at all. you just try creating a blank folder in your mod folder and see if it showed up (if memory serves corectly it should read anyn folders in there, although you might have to put GameInfo or something along those lines for it to be read.

damodamo have you tried my sins map updater?

it shows the current sins folders when you click on the local apps galaxies and the progfiles galaxies button. the program might help to locate the correct folderto extract the mods folders to.

hope this helps

my program is to show & fix galaxy files to version 3 but it also shows the folders which was why I suggested it.

also everybody with entrenchment and any sins after 1.05 has a digital version as it is the ONLY way to get them is by impulse download.

you have been extracting the contents of the archive to the Mods-Entrenchment v1.02 folder?

for archive managers I suggest either winrar or 7zip as they can work with almost all archive files, ie zip,rar,7z etc

hope this helps

i think you have to open the game up once before the folders will show up, once you have exit it, put the files in there and try again. I had the same problem the first I every tried a mod, and that was less than 2 months ago
