Newbie Help:Tim Aste Content Pack

Help Meeee!!!

I have followed the instructions to the letter in the content pack one and put all the data where it needs to go, but I cannot use the contents or use the example mission, as it tells me I do not have the correct fps version or do not have the required artwork. Is there anyone there who can help a real newbie and tell me where things need to go and then how to get the contents etc.....

Dunno if this will help you, but you can go and look at the actual scripts either in various places in your game directory or in your server/scripts folder and see where the engine is looking for things and then put them in those locations. For example, if you are trying to get a specific map to work and it isn't loading the dts objects then you can edit your .mis file in notepad and look at the actual paths.

I would try to be more specific but you didn't specify what content pack you are trying to install. There are several content packs that Tim Aste has created...

Yeah sorry about that. I bought the combo pack number 1. After following the directions I also found the enviroment pack has lots of other folders, eg sounds etc and need to know where to put these. Do they just go into the same folders in the ../starter.fps/data folders or somewhere else?
