LOT Install Problem - Help!

Posted by twitchie on 03/02/02 - 16:50:27

I unzipped LOT into a folder in the Dink Smallwood folder that I named LOT. When I start LOT, I get the 'Loading...' screen and then it goes black with just a yeallow 'v1.06' at the bottom. The game never loads. What's up with that? I have uninstalled it and re-unzipped it and get the same thing. I even downloaded the file from a different server thinking maybe I got a bad copy. Can someone please help me with this? Thanx!

Check inside the the new folder you made. Do you see all the normal d-mod files and folders?

GRAPHICS

SOUND

STORY

TILES

HARD.DAT

DINK.DAT

MAP.DAT

DINK.INI

The leading cause of this problem is accidently putting a d-mod in an extra level of folder eg:

C:\Program Files\Dink Smallwood\LoT\LoT\

instead of

C:\Program Files\Dink Smallwood\LoT\

if you do not see the normal folders, you must cut \LOT\LOT and paste it to \LOT, and overwrite the \LOT directory.
