Trying to install Twice Born

Post by shmyeates67 »

I have Myth2 1.8.5 and I downloaded Twice Born; it is in my plugins. I also checked the High-res sprites box. However, everything is low resolution.

I believe that something is going wrong as I see Twice Born as a single file, while the twice born readme shows two files (HD Megapack 1of2 and HD Megapack 2of2) going into the plugin folder.

Am I supposed to open the download somehow?

Yes, the download is a .zip file that needs to be extracted. Did yours somehow download without the .zip in the filename? If so you can still try opening it with your zip extractor, but you may need to redownload if something weird happened.

Yep, that was the problem. I added .zip manually and was able to unpack it.

Unfortunately, my game is crashing at the start of Gate of Storms when this happens:

Most likely cause of that is having stuff in your local folder. Try deleteing your local and try again.

If it still happens, post your entire myth_log.txt here.

That was it exactly, thank you so much.
