NOTE: There is a sticky here that looks like it talks about this issue, but
the question is answered with a dead link, so I'm stuck. I've done almost an hour of searching but now I've just swallowed my pride and decided to ask.
Anyway, Hi, I'm new here and just bought all Dreadlords, DA and Twilight of the Arnor. The first two as the gold edition box from a store. Twilight of course as a download from Stardock Central. I dowloaded Twilight and all the recent patches to all three games, as well as the DA heightmaps and tutorials and updates to movies and music available. But I did it at work and I want to play at home, not here. I installed the boxed games and Stardock, and I guess Stardock installed Twilight here at work, and registered everything, because I have no internet at home, only here at work. But I can't really keep any of this on my computer at work anyway.
The thing is, I wasn't asked by Stardock when downloading/installing updates etc and Twilight where I wanted to save any of this stuff when Stardock downloaded and installed it for me. I checked off auto-archive, and see what looks like this stuff kinda scattered around. And they are not executables, but end in .sdc, so I guess I have to know where to put stuff myself? And I don't.
I
Like, I see a buncha stuff got stuck in my c:\programfiles\stardock\sdcentral\BACKUP folder, but I look around and am not sure where to put it. I see that the tutorials look to have been unpacked at c:\programfiles\stardock\totalgaming\galciv2\gfx\tutorials, so maybe I'm okay to cut and paste that into the same place at home.
But I have no idea where the other stuff went. c:\programfiles\stardock\sdcentral\temp I see gc2_heightmaps.sdc and gc2_tutorials.sdc. The first is a 256k file and the second a 238k file. And a file called mod_heightmaps.htm.
There is also Mod_Twilight, with a lot of subfolders. I see no other reference to Twilight anywhere.
Anyway, what can I do to get this going? I also have the sdcentral_setup.exe for installing Stardock central. If I install that on my home machine ... er... can I mess around with those sdc files or something -- without having an internet connection to check or register anything again on -- so as to get Twilight and all those goodies up and running?
Sorry for the length of this post. Just trying to be crystal clear. I would greatly appreciate any help, as I can't really play at work and have to get these patch file etc. and Twilight or the Arnor usable at home somehow or I will be greatly bummed out.
