Uh, again please and in (more) proper english.

Every time you click "ACTIVATE", you get a file access error popping up, and the prog resets your init settings to the last saved instance?

[Mohreb el Yasim]

yes the init settings go back to the default

the other thing i dont know how to make is that my dwarfs don't look like they used to be i copyed the files in raw/graphics but they stil get they colored wersions ... and cats and dogs too what shoudl i do?

Hey Sean, I encountered a slight installation problem. My question is, do I require any specific software to install it? Because it looks like I need a special unzipper. Thanks.

[Deon]

Did you try a common Winrar?

[magikarcher]

Thanks, the one I found has a 40 day trial period though, so are there any that are 100% free?

[magikarcher]

Okay, I successfully installed it into a clean DF. When I try to scan for mods, it says 'df_original.txt not located'. How do I fix this? Also, the DF folder's name is not the default installation name, if that matters.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Here are the things that matter:
(the folder where the Modbase.exe is located is <root>)
These folders exist: <root>\raw, <root>\raw\objects, <root>\modbase, <root>\data, <root>\data\init.
These files exist: <root>\modbase\df_original.txt, <root>\data\init\init.txt, all files in <root>\raw\objects.

If you extracted everything as it were, everything should work fine.

[Mohreb el Yasim]

how do you migrate maydays graph set to the modpack?

[Sean Mirrsen]

No way yet, at least no modbase-specific way. I didn't get around to adding graphic packs support yet. You can add tilesets, but you'll need to set up graphic tiles the old manual way.

[magikarcher]

sigh... I unzipped it like normal. All of that is accurate EXCEPT the Modbase>df_original.txt.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Can you check that the file is in the archive? I'm asking because I know it is. I simply want to know what kind of crazy extraction method you are using that doesn't place all files in folder trees. I'm using an expired trial of WinRar (which does nothing to prevent you from working, it just pops a message that you need to register every time you open it), and extracting to folder trees is the default setting, just right click the file -> Extract Here.

It says trial period but it lasts forever anyway.

[magikarcher]

Got it! It works now!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SEAN! I can't wait to try the Min+ and Martial Arts mods!!

Well, you need to enable graphics, via the builtin editor - open the second tab, find the GRAPHICS line in the upper list, double-click it, select YES, click Done, then Apply Init Settings.
