Title: Am i too dumb to install it? ^^
Post by: AgathoN on September 07, 2004, 04:03:52 pm
Hi guys,
interesting project over here.....i, by myself never played sc2, but my older brother told me to give it a try :P

My poblem is, i got the 4 files

uqm-0.3-win32-installer.exe
uqm-0.3-content.zip
uqm-0.3-3domusic.zip
uqm-0.3-voice.zip

now how do i make the installer use the zip files? everytime i start the installer he wants to get content and music and so on out of the net....or do i need to uncheck content music and voice in the installation and extract it afterwards?  :-/

The installer isn't that sophisticated yet. What you should do is indeed uncheck the content, music, and voice in the installation, but then put the .zip files still packed (!) in the content\Packages\ directory of the dir you installed the game to.

Unzipped files override files within .zip files. So you'll run into problems if you want to install add-ons.

On the Starbase around Earth, Go to "Shipyard", not "Outship Starship".

That button has been very confusing for me at first. There's only one ship you can outfit, and that's your flagship. The button gave me the wrong impression that you would handle multiple ships there.

Well, you do. The thing is, adding fuel is something you only do to the main ship, while adding crew is something you do to any and all ships.
