Installation problems... Keeps crashing

[Josh131313]

Okay... So I THINK I'm doing everything correctly, following directions and everything. I'm using Mod Loader v1.7.3 and BTW v2.82 and I'm running Windows XP. When I get everything in its proper place, I try to start the game and I get the following message after I log in:


Mods loaded: 1
ModLoader Beta 1.7.3

Soooooo... yeah. No idea what that means. A little help interpreting that and hopefully getting this awesome mod to work would be much appreciated. :) If I didn't provide enough information, ask away.

Thanks for reading.

It looks as if your BTW zipfile may be corrupted. Try deleting it and redownloading, and then try to install it again.

[Josh131313]

Will do. Thanks for the quick help.

[Josh131313]

Thanks! I've tried that before.. Guess it just decided to work when you suggested it. :P But this time it worked fine. Thanks so much.

You do realize you can't install this mod simply by dropping the whole .zip into the mods folder right?

This mod does not support that ModLoader installation method. Even if it appears to be working, it is unlikely to function properly.

Yeah I realize that. I read through the forum. :P That wasn't the problem. Dunno what was, exactly, but it's working now. So I'm happy. Thanks for sharing such an awesome mod. Having fun with it now.
