chroni13 Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 when i download mods like black templar armor, there should be .dazip file right?but in my case when i download the file and unrar it, there's only contents folder and manifest.xml please help me to get the dazip file
Thandal Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Presuming you mean this one: Black Templars Armor, the mod *is* a ".dazip". The true filename is: "Black_Templar_Arm v1_2-184.dazip" Your browser is <cough> helpfully <cough> re-naming it during the download because it thinks it recognizes the file type. Just name it back to the original one and install as you would any other ".dazip" file.
MagdalenaDwojniak Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 This thing happens with Chrome. Either rename the file as Thandal says (you will need the relevant rights, of course, so check your Control Panel first) or just use a different browser. Mozilla is free of this inconvenience.
chroni13 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 so which one should i rename it?before i unzip or after? or can you please give me how to do it?step by step or give me pic?thanks for the help
Thandal Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 You DON'T "unzip" it. You just rename it then install it using the built-in DAUpdater.exe utility, (or your preferred mod manager.)
chroni13 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 okay thanks , at last i can download it, thanks for the help
MagdalenaDwojniak Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Did it work for you? In case you don't know where to find DA-Updater, it is in your Bin_Ship folder in the installment directory of the game. If you need more assistance, I can try to provide instructions in the way most fit for you, just tell me what you are most comfortable with (written or screenshots).
TheCyberKnight Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Hrmm I wonder why it does this on half the files in chrome, the other half download as .dazip's just fine? So why would it not rename all of them? also to clarify if it downloads and says filename.zip I just change that to filename.dazip correct?

That is only one type of mod file, and is a special collection of compressed files designed especially to be installed with the DAUpdater.exe utility that's built into the game. Many, many mods are packaged as ".zip", (or ",7z", or ".rar") files and aren't ".dazip" files at all. At the moment, FF is the only current browser that reliably leaves the file extension alone when downloading. IE11, Edge, and Chrome all think they knew better. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f351/charonn0/ohgeez-1.gif
