How do you install mods to Twilight of the Arnor

from GalCiv2 Forums

Been playing Dark avatar for awhile now, and been using mods quite easily. However I recently purchased Twilight of the Arnor, and it doesnt seem to recognize any of the Twilight Mods I downloaded for it, in fact the directory for the mods doesnt even exist on my computer. Ive looked everywhere but the only instructions I can find are for people using Ultimate edition, I purchased twilight seperately so it has completely different directories.

The game says all mods need to be installed to C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Galciv2\Twilight\Mods\Default.

Well I went into the twilight folder and the mods directory didnt exist, I even manually inputed the file path into my browser and my computer told me the directory didnt exist, So I went a step further and created the Mods Directory, into the twilight folder, the game still didnt recognize my mods, they dont even show up in the list of mods. So then I went EVEN further and created a default folder in the Mods directory, and put all my mods in there, and they STILL dont show up in the list of Mods within the game. What the hell!! Why is this so frustrating?

 

So to re-iterate

After installing the game I was able to find this directory:

C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Galciv2\Twilight

 

This file path did not work:

C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\Galciv2\Twilight\Mods\Default

 

So I went into the Twilight directory and created the folders in order for that file path to exist.

and it still doesnt show any of my mods in the mod list.

The mod list still has the "no string" flaw... whatever directories you have created are simply shown as *selectable* empty fields - and they ARE active. Next update, probably.

In the meantime, you could always "copy/paste" the BrowseWnd.dxpack from DL/screens folder into the corresponding place in TA directory structure... AFAIC, both files perform the same task while the former simply doesn't use the same UI graphics.

alright I can work with that, I only have one real mod pack that I want to work with, so i wont have to guess what hidden string to select. Thank you
