Just answer the question. Do you or do you not have an antivirus or other security program installed.

The installer takes a while to start up. Just be patient, and wait approximately 15 to 20 minutes for it. You will then be rewarded with an awesome mod for your patience. You can also try redownloading the installer if this still doesn't work.

You did? No way! If your operating system is Windows Vista or 7, try right clicking the installer and running it as an administrator. Then, wait again for approximately 15 to 20 minutes for it to run. If these steps still don't work, then try redownloading the installer. When waiting for the installer to start up, go do something else or you'll be tempted to click on the installer again and cause problems.

This should work. But an alternative solution is to turn off UAC filtering, at least while you install the mod.

My friend had a problem similar to yours, only with the convopack too. When he tried to run the .exe the computer froze and had to be turned off. I know that there was nothing wrong with the installer since I moved the installer I used for my BF2 to his computer and still no luck. I think he had something blocking it because my brother has the exact same computer and it worked just fine. Eventually I just ran the exe on my computer then manually moved the files to his.

Halo!
Actually, I was looking for something new and wanted to get an interesting mod. In fact, this one looks nice!
But, I prefer taking action carefuly to doing it without prudence. So I have 2 questions:
1) Does this mode changes normal units in Clone Wars mode and Galactic Civil War mode?
2) (more important) Is there any civilised way to uninstall this mod? I might not like it, so I would like to know, how to remove it from my computer without installing the whole game.

1) No it doesn't.
2) Yes, remove the mod's folder from your addon folder.

So, the only thing to remove is this folder from addon folder?
Don't need to change or remove any other files?

Hi Mav! Now I'm sure you have gotten this response a lot from this mod and it probably doesn't mean anything anymore but I'll say it anyway.

This is amazing. I don't feel like writing an essay on it's awesome-ness so I'll just use this: :runaway: <-- AMAZING!


I actually had a question. In Control mode (my favorite new mode) what are the bonuses that you can gain from taking control points? I know there is hero and bacta, but when I was playing Kashyyyk: Treetops as the IMP's the Rebellion had a shield bonus and I never was able to find the control point that gave me that bonus. Does it change for each map? Do both factions get a bonus no matter what control points they possess?

You can read about control mode here: forums/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=21868

The short answer is that the bonuses each point gives are rerolled at the start of the map, so even on multiple playthroughs of the same map, you may not see the same bonus in the same place every time. There are five possible bonuses: AI hero, health regen, shield, energy regen.

Glad you've enjoyed the mod!

I have a bug report. On space Raxus Prime icons float.

I don't know if you will ever do another version with bug fixes but I thought I should tell you in case you didn't know. :wink:

I suspect that's an issue with your configuration, not with the mod. Space Raxus Prime is unchanged from Dark Times 1 (and has no floating icons).
