I need help with the "Reb Buglar's 3 days carryover".

Post by e.p.alexander »

I am at a loss on exactly where to add the carryover files. While I have played these games since the old CWBR days, I am not conversant in adding or creating mods. I am best served when the mod installs itself. In any event, i am unable to find the mods in the main menu of the game. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Please be explicit and remember you are speaking to an idiot!

Installing and playing mods for SOW are really a breeze compared to the classic TC games. Having said this, your statement that you can't find the Mods folder concerns me. The Mods folder is in the main SOWGB folder along with the Work folder, Base folder, among others.

Once you locate the Mods folder, all mods install there after unzipping. By install I mean by simply copying and pasting or just moving the mod to the Mods folder. Unless you deleted the Mods folder, it's gotta be there, or, you're just running the demo. Look again, and report back, we'll get you up and running.

OK, made sure 3 Days is in mods. How exactly do I activate game play?

By Main Menu, I meant the scenario battle screen. Would i have to restart computer to accomplish game play?

e.p.,

After you have installed a MOD following RebBuglersteps, go to the Main Menu, select 'Modifications' entry.
Scroll down to the Mod you just installed.
To Activate the Mod, click on it once to select it and now click again until there will be a yellow box next to the Mod.
After the yellow box appears, now click on the 'checkmark' at the bottom of the screen to 'save'.
Now you are all set, click on Scenarios and pick the one you want.

My Thanks to RebBugler and CHAMBERLAIN for their pertinent help!! I was probably over-thinking things, since I was looking for a *new* game start. Thanks again and Happy gaming!
