Help on downloading/using files

[Niedel]

I am running Glest on a mac OSx. I have downloaded several tilesets, scenarios, and maps, but I can't seem to implement them in the game. Where should I put these specific files?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't use a mac, but I assume that it's pretty similar. Glest should be installed as glest_* (such as glest_3.2.0). This is usually installed in a directory for programs (ie: program files). By navigating to this directory, you'll see a bunch of folders. In the techs folder, you can put new tech trees. New factions can be implimented into Magitech by opening the folders techs>magitech>factions.

Tilesets are found in the tileset directory in the glest directory, and scenarios in the scenario folder. Maps in the maps folder. That's pretty much everything, though feel free to ask if you're having more trouble.

I looked through my computer for what you are describing, but I can't find what you are talking about. I think I figured out the problem though. For some reason, when I try to download the glest32data, it is not working. I believe that the problem in this is that I don't have a GlestGame folder in my library. Would I need to dreaete this folder, or is it supposed to create on its own?

Where did you install Glest? That's the folder you're looking for. On my Windows OS, It's installed in C:/Program Files/Glest_*. I don't know macs, but there must be some similar folder somewhere for installing the programs. I suggest you go to the ports (mac and linux OS) board for more help. You'll find fellow mac users there.

I took your advice and moved to the ports board. I believe I may have found out what the problem is, so now I just have to find out how to fix it. Thanks for the help though. =)
