WMMA Mods

[biva]

Hi people,
I'm new to this game and I do think it's great! Bt I've downloaded the Modern Warriors 4 and the taporsnap 10 mods. But neither work.

The taporsnap comes up with 1209 data defects and the modern warriors doesn't even get detected.

Any help cos it's pissing me off.

Cheers,
Chris

This is for TEW but it's pretty much the same for WMMA:

INSTALLING MODS

(This assumes that you are installing a mod that contains both data files and pictures; in reality you may only be doing one of those, or they may both come in different packages - the same principles still apply though.)

1 - Open TEW2008

2 - Go into the editor and create a new database. For this step by step guide we will use the name "Test".

3 - Exit TEW2008

4 - Unzip the mod that you have downloaded to your desktop.

5 - If the mod is an actual database you should see that it includes a set of files that end in ".tw8" (starting with alternate.tw8 and going to world.tw8). Highlight these and choose Copy. Now go to your Data folder (usually Program Files \ GDS \ TEW2008 \ Data). You will see a folder marked Test (or whatever you named the database). Go into it and Paste the files, replacing the existing ones. This installs the database.

6 - If the mod contained pictures, you should find that the content you downloaded has one or more folders containing jpg files. These folders will be named things like People, Belts, Logos, etc. For each folder in turn, open it and highlight all the files, then choose Copy. Go to your Picture folder (usually Program Files \ GDS \ TEW2008 \ Pictures). You will see a folder marked Test (or whatever you named the database). Go into it and you will see several folders. Choose the appropriate one (i.e. if you copied files from a folder called Logos, you should now go into the folder also called Logos). Paste the files in.

7 - When you have copied all the pictures, open TEW2008 again. From the navigation bar at the top, select the Database Options and pick the mod you have installed (if you cannot see if in the list, you did not install it correctly). Go into the editor and find Database Information. Open this, and check that the Pictures folder is correctly pointing to Test (or whatever you named the database).

8 - You can now play the mod.




If it still doesn't work, try downloading the mod again.

That's great thankyou, taporsnap is now working!

However, my previous clueless messing around seems to have merged the default database with the taporsnap database. Is there any way of restoring the default database?

Thanks again

Redownload the game and install it to a different spot then copy over the files.

I never have to create a new database.... I always just drop the Mod Folder directly in the "DATA" folder and when I change my database it shows up and works fine... But this is the second time I have seen someone say to create a new database first... so am wondering whats different.

Using the Create Database button automatically creates all the correct folders. Not every mod maker zips their database up with all the relevant folders, and so this method makes sure that the database will appear.
