yet another stupid question....

[+daddyairplanes 8,643]

maybe its cause im still up at 1:32 in the AM. maybe my brain is mush from starting up school again after a 16 year hiatus. i read the KB and know it can be done. however...........

how do i move a mods folder into an external harddrive? the game it's self is nice and settled in there just cant figure out how to get it to read the mods folder so i can add the new revised NF4+ thanks for the help one and all

Err, right click -> copy, go to external drive, right click -> paste, maybe?

actually tried that. no joy

 

 

core game is in a program files folder in my F drive(external). i set up a saved games folder in the same but the game isnt reading it as such and after each startup of the game to see if it took a new folder pops up in the C drive saved games folder. i also tried to put a copy ofthe options ini in the core folder. again no joy.

i also edit the options ini to read as being in the folder for the F drive

as my dad always says, there are no stupid questions only stupid answers

 

p.s i know it has nothing to do with the thread

um ok maybe that didnt work.

 

 

the game automatically adds the mods folder to C:\ myputer\Saved Games\ThirdWire\Nato Fighters when started. what i want to happen is for it to goto F:\ my book\Saved Games\Thirdwire\NATO Fighters. i changed the line in the NATO Fighters ini to direct the options folder there but still no joy.

nevermind all it did work. i might have wanted to change the name of the (install) ini when i made it something different. version i heard of the old saying xclusiv8 was there are no stupid questions only stupid people. guess i proved that one. thanks to everyone for the assist
