New on mods installing.

The problem is that auotloot isn't the mod that contains dazip file. I know how to install these ; D And sorry, just didn't want to spam with a new topic :tongue:

 

Autoloot is a ".dazip" file mod. :armscrossed:

 

You're not funny. The package is made in ZIP file that I can unpack. There I find folder Contents and Manifests.xml. I'm asking You where put this thing?

 

Dazip file is one file that I pick in daupdater to install. This doesn't work like that.

 

 

You are suffering from a penalty imposed by a browser that thinks "it knows better." That mod is, indeed, packaged and posted to the Nexus as a ".dazip".

 

A ".dazip" is simply a Zip-formatted set of very specific compressed files (including a "manifest.xml") which the DAUpdater utility is designed to incorporate into DAO. You can't just "put" the manifest.xml file somewhere, since its contents have to be merged with any and all others (like the DLC, which was the original purpose of the file in the first place.)

 

But your browser's download engine thinks it recognizes the file type based on the file's header contents and "helpfully" renames it to ".zip" on the fly. Just rename the file to be a ".dazip" after you download it and DAUpdater will work perfectly. :thumbsup:

 

[EDIT: There is no Readme because, as a ".dazip" mod, it was perfectly obvious to the author and other players how to install it.]
