Wondering why that MOD you have won't install correctly? Let's take a look

Installing mods doesent work

Post by Zodiac »

I have installed EasyMod and when trying to install the arcade I get this:

Code: Select all

Installation Failed

EasyMOD encountered the following error(s). A general error could be ABC. A critical error means D and you should do XYZ.

The best solution here is that you edit those files that easymod could not do yourself cause easymod can not find the lines that are specified in the installation txt

I had a look a couple weeks ago (have been busy with work and school and such) when I tried installing everything and too my knowledge I could not find the line's in the files either. So either the line is missing or something else is wrong? Ill take a look tonight and see if I missed it last time.

Thanks for the reply.

Don't try and find the whole line.

Look for the key part of it such as {U_PROFILE} or {U_AGREE_OVER13}
That will put you in approximately the right part of the file. Then you'll have to use some common sense in working out the block of code it wants you to 'change'.

Save a backup of the files before you edit them.
