i tried asking on steam but, i got attacked by an overzelous moderator again. i have downloaded some mods from moddb that i want to install but, they do not come with instructions. how do i install them?

hi, use this one here:
https://forum.spellforce.info/viewtopic.php?t=96

It has an own setup and game detection functionality that takes care of everything for you. Also comes with a Manual PDF.

Have fun!

i was a member of that or something similar long ago but, i left, because people wad being mean to me. it would be more usful to get help here.

that link also does not contain instructions on how to install mods, it is just a hosted mod.

hi, each mod has its own installment and apply method.
What i linked to you was a mod pack/patch that comes with an installer that takes care of everything for you.

Nothing more, nothing less. Have a good day!

the mod based on lord of the rings battle for middle earth have an installer, though it does not help. it installs to a folder outside the game`s framework. the other mod i downloaded is an undead faction. how do i install those?

hi, No idea what mods you mean and i have no idea about their fuctionality. Why not contact the mod-author or the place where you got them?

Greetings: NeoX

i can not contact mod makers directly, as they usually hide their contact information. just look ar moddb for information on the mods i mentioned.

hi, i am sorry, but you did not even tell what mods specificly you have issues with (link source) and also i will not contact them for you. You want informations from them, you contact them. Also on ModDB you can send PM's to the Authors/uploaders of the mod.

Greetings: NeoX

why do you have to be so mean? why did you answer in the first place when you had no intention of helping me? i told you what mods i wanted help with. just check post #5.

Not my business, but Unreal_NeoX wasn't mean to you, he was being practical.

In general, if you want help, you need to post as much information about your issue as possible. That means a link to the exact mod (not just the name, and expect others to google the name just to find a mod they don't have an issue with) and a description of the issue you have. It is your job to provide as much information about the question you have in order to make it as easy as possible for others to find the answer you seek. Be polite, that is basic netiquette.

Also, using and even installing mods can be a finicky and complicated process (looking at you, Cyberpunk 2077). Some mods have automated installers attached to them (usually .bat or .exe) but some are fully manual, where you have to find the right version of the mod, together with the right version of the framework that mod is based on, and both have to match whatever version of the game you are playing on. And everything have to be placed in a very specific place inside the game install directory.

And believe me, mods more often than not is trial and error and a lot of time spent googling the various issues that can happen. So if you want help, showing you have really tried on your own first will more likely get people to do more effort in helping you.

So please try one more time, starting by posting a link to the exact mod you have a problem with, and I am certain NeoX will sort out your issue.

P.s.
It also helps to be humble when having problems. Saying everyone was mean to you is not the way to go. And when it comes to anything SpellForce, Unreal_NeoX is the one who can help.
