Proportions Mod: Multiplayer anyone?

Aargh! I can't get the pvkprop1 game to load

I've put it in the Savegame folder, but I get a generic "cannot load" error when I try. Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have the correct Version of the Proportions Mod installed?
Have you created you .emp file with the correct Version or maybe with an older Version of the Mod?

You have to unzip the file, have you ?

Edit: The file does not necessarily show up as a zip, but it is a zip. Right-click on it and send it to your zip manager program.

Yep, I've unzipped it, and yep, I have 2.0 installed - I pulled it off the Proportions website the day it was posted there.

Speaking of the .emp file - where must it reside? In the Savegames folder as well?

No, in Empires folder.

If you can't open the first turn it has nothing to do with your .emp file. It's probably the path.txt has not been changed to use the proportions mod. Normally this gives an error about not having the same data files, but in the case of proportions you get the genaric "Cannot open" error. Probably because of the changes tot the racial traits file is my guess. Any way, my guess is edit the path.txt file, or use the modpicker and you will have no problems.
