Problems installing mods - can someone help me?

[mucker]

Hello! I've recently decided to start playing CTP2 again and try out some mods. I have no problem installing the patch or modswapper, but everytime I try to install the Craddle mod, disaster strikes. All the files get extracted to the ctp2_data\default file and when I try to play the mod, I get endless slc errors. An example chosen at random is ctp2_data\default\gamedata\CAI_ComImpSForAIsslc.24 0: No function named TileHasImprovement

That's an example, the errors apply to most everything in the mod.

These errors also prevent me from playing the default game, so I have to delete the entire program and reinstall to do even that.

Anyone know what is going on?

A classic case of Patch-Didn't-Install-Properly. I'm not sure why though.

What OS are you using, and what language version of the game?

[mucker]

I'm using WindowsME and the English version.

I've made several attempts at this, and got the same result. Would it be easier to just re-download the patch?

[Immortal Wombat]

Probably. It might be a screwed up installer on WinME.

Do you have the game in default directories?

[mucker]

Yes, I left everything in the default directories when I installed the game.

I re-installed the patch, and this time it worked. Thanks for your help!

[Immortal Wombat]

hmmm,weird. no problem, anyway, glad to help.

I'm assuming you did this too...

You need to make the following change in the userprofile.txt file located in the following directory Activision\Call To Power 2\ctp2_program\ctp

Look for the line
DebugSlic=Yes

and change it to
DebugSlic=No

[mucker]

Oddly enough when I checked the userprofile, it was already switched to no.

I have no idea what I was originally doing wrong, but since things worked out I guess I'll never know!

btw hexagonian, great mod!
