Modswap.zip
Hi,

Just downloaded and tried to install modswap.zip on Windows ME and get the error "Wrong version of run-time DLL" when I run setup.exe. I have unzipped all contents into a temporary directory. What Dll do I need and where can I download it from?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Windows ME, I know why I bought Window 98 instead, however there is also a possibilty to setup the mods without ModSwapper.

1. After unzipping all the mod files into the right folder: Go to your ..\ctp2_data\default\gamedata folder. There you will find files called XXX_gamefile.txt. Every mod setup has a differnt prefix instead of the XXX.

2. Open such a XXX_gamefile.txt with an editor of your choice. (e.g. notepad)

3. Check the last lines of that file that will tell you the name of the mod setup.

4. If you explored all the XXX_gamefile.txt's and you selected one of the setups. Search for a gamefile.txt without the prefix rename it to whatever you like. (e.g. ORI_gamefile.txt for origianal gamefile.txt)

5. Reneame the XXX_gamefile.txt of your setup to gamefile.txt.

6. Replace origianal newsprite.txt and Great_Library.txt (can be found in your ..\ctp2_data\english\gamedata folder) as you did it with the gamefile.txt. Note the names of the according files are listed in the last lines of your XXX_gamefile.txt.

7. Afterwards you replaced the tree files with the according mod-files you are now ready to lunch CTP2 with the mod.

So now I explained you how ModSwapper basically work. Yeah it is easy instead of renaming every file. That is the power of a gamefile list.

So now we have here a nice little addition to the FAQ.
