I can not get this dmod to load. I get a message saying improperly archived file 'islndgnt/graphics/But 7-02.BMP, and one that says, improperly archived 'y'. skipping. I can't even delete the dmod to reinstall it. It won't delete all of the file. Can someone help?

Hmm... DFArc v2 is a bit less lenient when it comes to errors. It may have been improperly archived from the beginning. I'll look into this and reply later.

Edit: I'm assuming that you're using DFArc v2, anyway.

I think you don't have enough free space to install the D-Mod and when the D-Mod is not completly installed there are a folder with the game and one that's extracting it or something you need to delete both.

Hmm, you could be right, Erwin. I thought the .dmod file was screwed up, but it seems to be working fine for me.

All of my dmods were improperly archived too but they still worked.Although they also added that odd 'y' file which was 0kb I think.
I don't know if it was because I archived the dmod folder and it's contents instead of just the contents or, um, maybe it was the other way around?
Come to think of it, I don't know how to archive my dmods with the new Dfarc...I see a lot of 'y' in the future for me.

I wish you would have told me this earlier... I was having a similar problem with DFArc 2, but I thought I fixed it, and I assumed no Dinkers would be plagued by its evilness.
