Installing Mod Problem

Post by paradox »

Can't download mods through the torrent system, it just says downloading and never connects to anyone. Can't play single player mode because I don't have any mods. I download a mod zip from springfiles2 but I don't know where to exact it. Any help on this would be appreciated because I would like to try this game out!

There is a directory "mods" in your spring folder. Just put the sd7/sdz files there.

only folder I found named mods was located here:

Code: Select all

/home/paradox/.spring/lobby/SpringLobby/downloads/mods/
Which I put the .sdz file there but still won't let me select a mod.

Smells like linux. Sorry, no idea how it works there.

Maybe try creating a folder:

Code: Select all

/home/paradox/.spring/mods/
Really just a guess.

Well I did:

Code: Select all

find / -name "mods" -print
which is same as doing search C:\ in windows. I will try creating a folder, but I think it would go in:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/spring
But I'm not 100% since I've never played this game, and can't find any doc on where the mod folder should be located. So any help would be appreciated. Using Gentoo-Linux 2.6.30-r4 KDE-4.2.4!

Ya just figured that out, everything works great besides on the UI where I can build units all the squares are red. I can't see what I'm building. Idk if it's suppose to be this way or not!
