Cheez, check out the
last section of this install guide - the errors you get sound like you're not installing the mod to the correct folder (but I haven't even had Civ3 installed for more than 2 years now, so my memory may be a bit vague on that).
If that doesn't seem to fix the problem, you may want to run through the entire install guide:
For best results:
To avoid potential problems, you should follow this procedure when installing the DYP mod.
Note: Reinstalling Civilization III is only required if you have had other mods installed (but it is still recommended).
- Back up any files you want to keep (modded files, savegames etc.)
- Go to the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel
- Uninstall Civilization III: Play The World patches listed there.
- Uninstall Civilization III: Play The World.
- Uninstall Civilization III patches listed there.
- Uninstall Civilization III.
- Manually delete the Civilization III folder (by default located in C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive)
- Reboot your computer
- Install Civilization III (no need to patch, as patch 1.29f for Civ3 is included in PtW).
- Install Civilization III: Play The World.
- Install the official Patch 1.27f and verify that you can load the game
- Install the Double Your Pleasure mod.
Make sure the mod is installed to the directory where you installed Civilization III: Play The World.
The installation program defaults to C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Civ3PTW\Scenarios.
If you didn't install Civilization III to the default directory, you'll need to manually change the path in the installation program, making sure that the mod ends up in the Scenarios folder located under the Civ3PTW folder.
@Achim: Thanks for putting up the files - have they really disappeared from all sites today?
