Seems it's going to have to be a restart - I'd prefer either C'tis or Atlantis since I haven't played either in ages, if their original players have dropped out or otherwise choose a different race.

Otherwise I'll stick with Vanheim if I have to - suspect a negative 2 magic scale makes this _the_ most unpopular of the seven, especially with the difficult magic research being the norm.

I am currently Atlantis, and I am afraid I don't have any interest in switching.

Default A problem viewing battles

I am C'Tis in the "Huntsman" shepards game. Whenever I try to view a battle replay involving a non-C'Tis pretender the game crashes with "myloadmalloc: can't open ./mods/./shepards/nereus1.tga" (or whichever pretender is involved)

When I installed the mod, it did not make a mods/shepards directory. I made one manually and copied all the shepards files there, but I still get the crash.

Default Re: A problem viewing battles

on my machine the mod creates a subdirectory called ".xvpics" in the shepherds directory.

There is a nereus1.tga among a few other files in there, so try if it works once you create the folder and move the files there.
The file in the .xvpics directory is much smaller(3.58kb) than the nereus1.tga in the shepherds directory(48 kb). So maybe you have the wrong one in the shepherds directory.

Hope it works so you can witness the awesomeness that my pretender is .

Thanks Turin - that was the problem. Whatever I used ti unzip did not create the .xvpics directory (and the XP GUI would not let me create a directory with a leading . I had to open a command prompt to make it)

Your pretender is, indeed, one badass mofo.

Could someone please set the Huntsman game back to 48-hour forced hosting? Thanks!
