Epic Heroes Mod MA game(finished)

[Xietor]

Gandalf has said this concerning the problem with a windows user:

The quirk with windows is that it might have problems with paths that have spaces in it or are longer than 8 characters. In older windows what WinXP handles as "C:\program files\" the olders ones want "C:\progra~1" (6 chracters and a ~x for the numbered occurance of those 6 characters).

Dragon, do you have windows xp? Or an older version?

That is not depending on your windows version, but on the file system that you are using. FAT and FAT32 have those abbreviated things as compatibility mode (since you are backwards compatible to MS-DOS 2.0 or something, lawl), NTFS may have the compatibility thing or it may not. Maybe not.

Dragon - being as you get similar errors for lots of the units in Epic Heroes, I reckon I know what your problem is. It's nothing to do with the way the files are named (unless you have a very unusual setup, or Windows 98 or something), but I reckon you don't have the Epic Heroes graphics in the right place.

Within your mods folder you should have a folder called 'ehspr' with lots of .tga files in. I suspect you don't. If that's the case, then open the Epic Heroes mod zip again, and make sure you extracted all the files, and put them into the correct folders.

If you do have an 'ehspr' folder, then perhaps some of the files are missing. Check you have 'flytrap.tga' for instance.

If you do have an ehspr folder, and it is in the right place (dominions3\mods\ehspr) and it has all the relevant files in it, then I am a bit stumped. One final thing to check in that case - make sure the Epic Heroes mod file itself ('Epic Heroes.dm' or something like that) is in dominions3\mods, and not in the ehspr folder.

Hope that helps!

It may also be in a folder within a folder. The first time I extracted it, I think it made an "ehspr" folder within another "ehspr" folder where all the files are.

[Xietor]

can someone make a screen shot of how the 3 folders should look properly installed?

There are 3 files that have to be drug manually out the yellow folder that is named Epic heroes 1.4. You can just drag them to your desk top if you want, then delete the now empty yellow folder called Epic heroes 1.4.

Then drag the 3 files into your mod folder and you are done!

The only 3 files that should be in your mod folder are:

1. A white dm file called: Epic Heroes Mod
2. A text file called :Epic Heroes Mod-read me(which has nothing to do with how the mod works).
3. A yellow folder named: ehspr

None of these folders should be inside another folder. They should be visible to you as you view your mod directory.

Llama could be a genius. Quick thinking Llama!

About the heavy cavalry hero... no worries for Pythium. I looked at
my heroes and decided that if I wanted a fair test of Pyhtium in Dom III,
I better go without. :-) So I do have misforture 3.

I am trying to play Pythium as if I did not have a hero UNTIL I start
fighting a player with one. For now, my angel is casting smite and
banishment, and that's it.

The problem still is not resolved?

[Xietor]

I have sent him pm's and have heard no response. If I have heard nothing by tomorrow, unfortunately I will have to seek a replacement for him. While I am extremely sympathetic to his plight, in the face of silence, I cannot hold up the game for 11 other players.

Though I will note the Rlyeh also seems to be milking this extension for all it is worth. Does it really take 72 hours to determine whether you want to take a water or a land province? just kidding.

Sorry for the delay. I did as Llama suggested and it worked. The problem was the ehspr folder was inside the e.h. 1.4 folder. I sent my turn eight in. Let the games begin...again...
