Love this Mod! But Downloading Error!

[Grand Lord of Poop~]

Hello chaps,

yes I'm new, but I really like the looks of this mod, so full of hope i tried downloading it, but here is my problem: whenever i download the EB mod (not the patch!), i get a limewire (i know pretty crazy!! its a music downloading program) icon to replace the original exe file. so how do i change the running program from limewire to the exe itself?? because whenever i open the file i just get limewire......

[Dram]

well if it isnt the grand lord of poop!

one thing i can think of that might help is if you go to the folder options menu in the folder the EB program is in and make sure 'hide extensions for known file types' is unchecked.

then make sure the EB program has .exe at the end.

thank you for your help, Dram, i greatly appreciate any support . but I JUST downloaded the EB mod to my desktop, not in a folder.

[Dram]

you can just cut and paste it into a folder and then try it from there.

[Grand Lord of Poop~]

ok, i tried that, but it didn't work!! i coun't find any "folder options menu!!!" can anyone please help me on this. i really love this mod and want to try it out, i have tried almost everything but the exe file still doesn't open!!

[Dram]

go the to the folder you placed EB in and select 'tools' at the top of the folder window, then select 'folder options'.

when the new window comes up, click on the 'view' tab. 'hide extensions for known file types' is in the list that comes up. once its unchecked press ok then check if the EB file has .exe on the end as i suggested earlier.

well, thank you, i finally managed to get rid of the limwire program running it. BUT (I know this sucks) now whenever i try to open the exe file it says "encountered an illegal order"!!??

[Dram]

you might want to check to see if the file was downloaded properly, the eb 0.72 file is supposed to be about 136mb, so if its smaller than that it may be a corrupted/incomplete download.

is the file exactly named 'EBv0.7.2Setup.exe' ?

Joy to the world! Celebrate! Rejoice! Take out the beer!! i have finally triumphed installing the EB mod after many grueling days of hard work. But of course, I need to thank you, Dram, for being so patient with me and helping out all you could. I LOVE ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!

ps. now that i finally have it installed and running, I can start participating in the forums!!!

Glad to hear it. It should give you just enough experience to get you ready to totally dump it and download 0.8 when it gets here.

But before you do that, go to our website and download the v.74 patch. It fixes all the problems in v.72.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

*Many* of the problems in v.72.

[Grand Lord of Poop~]

yes! I have the 0.7.4 beta patch installed. but are there any other additional patches or fixes to download?? and are there any mods based upon EB?? What are some of the mods (for EB) you guys recommend??

no problem dude!.

0.74 is the latest version. the only other thing you need to install is the 'reinforcement CTD fix' which you can get here-
