Re: [MOD] Descent into Darkness - a major game overhaul

I believe I found the problem. With some minor digging it was a simple error on how the folders are in the mod's .ftl file are set up.

I'll do my best to run you guys through the process to fix it.

When you freshly download it, open it with WinRAR/WinZip. You can open .ftl files with those programs after double clicking and "choosing from a list". Just choose WinRAR/WinZip.

-You will need to open another instance of the mod in WinRAR/WinZip to fix it. Once opened you will see a folder called "Decent into Darkness for AE".
-Open this folder in only one of the two windows. After this drag both the "img" and "data" folders to the other window of the .ftl file.
-After this step the one you copied the folders to should look like this. After that simply delete the "Decent into Darkness for AE" folder so only the "img" and "data" folders remain.
-You should now be able to use the mod as it was made to be used. Enjoy!


Apologies if the guide was unclear. That was my best shot at explaining it. without overloading the post with pictures.

So I thought I'd take a peek in. Looked over the last few pages of comments.
I find it quite flattering that you guys would go to the effort to update this when it's so old and all that.
So, just to add in my 2 cents:
I am prefectly fine with you guys fiddling about with it and trying to update it, so long as:
a) it's kept clear that I made the original mod (i.e. dont go posting it in a separate thread as a new mod)
b) it's kept clear that I had nothing to do with the AE stuff (pretty obvious)
That said, I am entirely done with FTL so don't expect me to do anything else with it. Haven't even played AE to be honest.
All ships I have created include custom weapons, graphics etc:

Second download link please. Dropbox and Google Chrome don't get along very well. :|

They don't? They work just fine for me. The hell is your problem with Dropbox anyway?

Try removing the s from https at the beginning of the download link, or use a different browser, for example Firefox, or even IE (assuming you're on Windows, you'll likely have it pre-installed), just to get the file from dropbox.
Also check the links below, maybe some of the tips mentioned there will fix your problem.

DryEagle stated that he does not want this mod to be re-posted in a separate thread, which you did here: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=27343
You are acting against the explicit will of the original author, and re-posting his mod ike that could ultimately be perceived as you stealing other peoples work. I recommend you delete that thread.

The file you posted is the exact same mod and you don't even give credit to DryEagle in the thread. You are deliberately appropriating a mod made by someone else and this is not ok. [Thread viewtopic.php?f=11&t=27343 has been locked.]
