Re: 1914 download

Sorry to be a nuisance, but I followed the instructions to the letter, extracted the rar files to the 1914 directory, then the no time limit patch to the hoi2.exe file, then went to fire it up from there, and no go. It comes up with the message 'excel file not found'. If you try ignore, it closes down.

Any help is very welcome.

Same here.

I've tried to reproduce this with a testinstall and I think , I found the clue.

When you find a directory /1914/1914-0.43-dd , in your Installation, you have to move the complete content into the /1914 folder.
Then you sould have a running 1914

That's not what happened with mine. I downloaded the rar file to the 1914 folder (as I did with the Great War for HoI) and then downloaded from the rar file to the 1914 folder. It then creates 1914-0.43-dd within the 1914 folder. (unlike the Great War which integrates automatically).

What happens if you download the rar file to the desktop then download the contents to the 1914 file? Same result, or am I just wasting my time?

I'll give it a whirl right now and let you know.

Okay tried as i said, and it just downloads a file exactly the same. Are you supposed to manually unload the contents of the 1914-0.43-dd file to the appropriate folders?

Addendum:

Just looked closely at this, and some of the files included in those extracted from the rar file (1914-0.43-dd) clash witn those left from the fresh download of Hoi2 (renamed 1914 after removing files as instructed). So it's basically impossible to integrate the two from the instructions as given.

I'll redeploy the files tomorrow without the subdirectory to hopefully prevent any further confusion.

BTW , I'll try to reduce the filesize with this redeployment, too :)
 
The new one is an .exe file. The server will redirect to the new file if you try the old downloadlink
 
Any chance you could make one that isn't an exe, for our Mac and Linux brethren?

none are exe's. They're all rar files.
 
Damn. You guys have an exe now and everything. Allenby's legacy, unforunate gone, smeared into the pavement like old chewing gum..

The summer noon, the hot fleshy stench, I sit in my room only depressed.
I look out at your window, I see out the door, but the only person that really sees me is me: trapped behind a curtain and a mirrow, I can't look anymore.

Play as you go, go as you play. Skipping is for anyone that's happy, just show me the way.

You ran out to the icecream truck - ordered your favorite since you were a kid, you were a dime short, a day early, damn these quarters, but what is to be obtained by true happiness: you have yourself, and always have.

You always were a loner, what was I to you? You got yourself this far, days begin new. I had an extra quarter, I can learn to skip-- I see you out your front door, it opens just as quick. Out you came, out you came running, just to hug me with open arms. <---- back back back, the tape now plays in rewind what you would have wished for, you'll never ever find. Look out your window, there is no vanity, just some rundown house, that at night I swear it screams. Go back just a little further, what were you before that day? Nothing had nothing was nothing.. the only person that payed you attention went a skippin' along her way. Come on, let's go foward, noooo not to your known dream, as the train stops, the bedside rocks, nightmares fill your sleep. WAKE UP! 6AM... what what who's there? Nothing and everything, just a little reminder, you're permantly impaired.


*Downloaded 5 minutes ago* Gave me some time. With the exe you still have to erase those 6 folders, correct?
 
Are you guys talking about the ARM or DD install? :confused:

I want to make south american new claims as well I want new fictional events, could any one help me with this?? I want this with this mod aswell =P since I saw argentina with now claims...
