Modded .exe wont launch. Assistance appreciated.

[Archimedes Warplight]

Good afternoon:

I decided that I was gonna try out this modding thing, so I downloaded the Art Revolution mod. I followed, or tried to at least, the instructions in the Wiki for adding, and running a modded Warzone. The instructions say to use the 'Config' folder, located in C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Warzone 2100 <version>\. I don't know if this is just me, but there wasn't a 'Config' folder, only a file, and there was no mods folder there either. So, attempting to improvise, I decided to check the .exe folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Warzone 2100-3.1.0) where I found a mods folder. I was going to add it to 'global' but the 'instructions' don't list how to adjust the command line for Global, only multiplayer (represented by --mod_mp). I used the Multiplayer command line, and changed the text accordingly for the AR mod. Figuring it to have worked appropriately, I go to run the shortcut, and nothing happens.

I've tried several combination of mod locations as well as command line adjustments, and I can't get it to run.

I'm running Windows 7 64bit.

Assistance would be much appreciated.

You're not showing us what you did (eg. what command line you wrote), nor how your file is called and where it is located after all (i don't trust words on this matter, please provide a screenshot with a file and a directory), nor what the error log says (see the same page to figure out where it is).

No, there wasn't supposed to be a 'Config' folder inside the config folder.

The screen-caps, as per requested.

The command line for the shortcut:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Warzone 2100-3.1.0\warzone2100.exe" --mod_mp ARmod_alpha

When I click the shortcut, the cursor changes to the loading circle for all of half a second, and then nothing happens.

Post your error logs.

What's the matter with me? I was 100% sure i replied here (that he forgot to add '.wz' to the command line).

Post your error logs.

He did.

I added .wz to the command line, and I still encounter the same problem. The loading circle blinks, and then nothing.

And also = (somebody update the cli page pls)

[Archimedes Warplight]

And where does the ' = ' go?

I mean, call me a noob if you like, but the instructions on the site are rather.... Vague.

Wrong information edited

Updated the wiki on cli, but i still do not understand why you use this method when you're not familiar with the command line (otherwise, yeah, you would've looked at --help first).

Berg: that's not true; "=" is currently mandatory, it were spaces that got obsolete.

Code: Select all

$ src/warzone2100 --mod paradise-1-03.wz
Unrecognized option: paradise-1-03.wz

[Berg]

Code: Select all

./src/warzone2100 --mod_mp=paradise-1-03.wz

Very good my mistake after testing on lastest stable.
I am familiar with command line I just got confused I checked with the wiki page.

[Archimedes Warplight]

Adding the '=' to the command line worked.

I am likewise familiar with the use of the command line in terms of modding. That's why I ended up asking the question here; I couldn't discern where the error was.

Thank you for the assistance.
