How to add blue marble?

[Hussarknight]

How does one enable blue marble with this mod? Furthermore, how can you change the interface to a black color?

If you use the installer, there is a checkbox for either of these. The black UI is called "Carbon HUD".

I did not, I got it from Github. I suppose the launcher does not have the latest changes like Github or does it?

Edit: nvm, got it from the sourceforge

Alternatively you can get it from a different repo, there's a link in the Welcome to DoC thread.

I'm having the same problem installing VD, I tried the manual installation but I'm not sure exactly what directory to place it in. Do I create a Modules folder or just overwrite everything? So far I've tried both but nothing happened, not sure what I'm missing.

 

[Leoreth]

The VD repository comes with an Assets folder. Its complete contents need to be integrated into the existing Assets folder, overwriting everything.

Well I got VD to work in the installer by relocating the install-destination onto the desktop so the path wasn't too long, but once installed (and moved back to the Mods folder), the game fails to launch, without an error. Task manager and Steam show the game as running in processes, but not in Applications. Anyway, it doesn't launch.

It seems VD won't run on non-gaming computers or laptops because the destination is too long.

It's a file path issue in Windows, the hardware is irrelevant.

 

[Pavel Chichikov]

Can you give advice on how to get around this problem? As it's on Steam, name-changing isn't an option. I'm using Windows 7 on a work laptop.

 

[Leoreth]

Someone posted here that they circumvented the problem by mounting the Beyond the Sword (or Mods?) folder as an additional virtual hard drive, thereby shortening the paths. But I haven't tried this myself, so I cannot give you any more detailed instructions.

Well, replacing your BTS exe with a non-Steam one will decouple your installation from Steam. I did that, but I didn't try to move or rename folders afterwards.

Oh, I found away around the Steam issue, but nonetheless it still refuses to launch even directly from a desktop folder.
Just Windows and it's terrible programming. Although Apple is even worse.
