: I would really like to play these two games. Here is my original message:
: I downloaded and unzipped Arinthia 2 - The Rozarus.zip to C:\Program Files\Dink Smallwood, just like I do with all the d-mods. So when I go to frontend and click play this box keeps popping up saying Game dir "Arinthia" not found! What is going on? I have no problem playing the other d-mods just Arinthia 2 and 3.
: there is no folder within a folder the only folders are graphics, story, sound and tiles and it is listed in front end, I highlight it and click play and that pop-up shows up saying Game dir "Arinthia" not found!
: Now what do I do?
: Thanks
try to unzip it again in c:\program files\dink smallwood\arinthia2\ (or 3)

When it extracts, does it make a folder? if so, what is the name of the folder it makes? Also, does it have a diz file? if so, what is the name of the diz file? Once I had this problem, and it made no sense, I had to rename my dmod folder to the "default" name in order to make it work. Why? I don't know.
Good luck Bluerose. *fingers crossed something works soon* This gets so frustrating when things make no sense. And, I'm all out of ideas. *sigh.
: When it extracts, does it make a folder?
Yes
if so, what is the name of the folder it makes?
Arinthia 2 - The Rozarus.zip
I tried it with the hyphen out, and with The Rozarus off. It shows up in the front end, but won't play when I click on it that pop-up comes up instead.
Also, does it have a diz file?
What is that?

: What is that?
The Diz file is the "description" that you get when you click "about" instead of "play" from the frontend. The author makes this file so something comes up when you click that. You can find it in the dir that you unzipped the dmod in. Sometimes the author does not make the file tho, so it may not be there. If it is, you could try renameing the folder to the name that the diz file uses (without the diz part) like it might say arithia.diz and you name the folder arithia

Good luck *crossing toes now just in case that helps*

place it in C:\Program Files\Dink Smallwood\Arinthia 2.....make a folder named Arinthia 2
: place it in C:\Program Files\Dink Smallwood\Arinthia 2.....make a folder named Arinthia 2
And make sure the directory name *does not* contain spaces!!!

Thanks for your help, did what you said and it didn't work. So I gave up and deleted the file.

go to program files/dink smallwood and open the folder. make new folder and name it Arinthia 2. then extract the d-mod to this folder. you shouldn't have any problem.
