Hello, I recently pulled DS2 out of the bottom of my game drawer to replay it. I decided this time to play using some mods. I am putting the mods into c:/program files/microsoftgames/dungeonsiege2/resouce. As instructeded by the "read me" files. Does anyone know which application/program I need to install in order to use these mods? Thank you. blogs: |

i got lost on the "I can not get any program that I currently have installed to read them nor will MS seem incapable of finding any automatically by searching the web.." not sure when that comes about....
once installed in resources just run dungeonsiege2 and the mods should work.
if you are wanting to read the contents of the mods to see what they change you will need a tank extractor which should be listed at this sites downloads section.
Yeah... what Darkelf said. You don't open / use the mod files directly. They are used by the game to add / change content.
If you don't know about it already, you might want to check out Elys' Succubus Manager which makes using mods a bit easier (existing save game check-sum bypass).
Ya, thanks guys. Let me try to clarify...after I download the files and place them into resources and launch DS2, they dont work. The icons appear as white blank squares in the folder and my computer is basically telling me that it cant identify the files and wants to know what program I want to use to open them with. MS offers to search the web but then finds nothing. So what Im wondering is what program must I have installed on my computer for it to be able to read these mods and make them work with the game. I have tried notepad, explorer, adobe, java, word etc...Thank you.
The game reads the files directly. You'd use something like Tank Viewer 2 to open the files to see what's inside, but that is not necessary for regular gameplay.
What do you mean: "they don't work"? What mods are you trying?
Not tring to make anyone sound stupid, is this person tring to use ds2 mods or is he tring to use ds1 mods?
does the mod end with ".ds2res" or ".dsres"
this may be the problem with ds2 not reading the mod when game play
