Each file should go in it's appropriate folder, rulesets have their own folder, and so forth. Just make sure you put the maps in the multiplayer folder not the one that houses the campaign. You should be able to figure it out with some trial and error at worst.ricino wrote:How do you use the extra units rule set mod?
I managed to get in touch with the OP and I sent him the ruleset and the maps, plus the modified english.cfg file and the drpack.exe program needed to properly use it.Echo 343 wrote:It's sad how many DR2 mod sites are down these days.

Can I get that too?Coyote Seven wrote:I managed to get in touch with the OP and I sent him the ruleset and the maps, plus the modified english.cfg file and the drpack.exe program needed to properly use it.Echo 343 wrote:It's sad how many DR2 mod sites are down these days.

I also found that I had the HTML and CSS files along with the images I used to make my web page, so I gave those to him as well.
Sure! I'll need your e-mail.Nielk1 wrote:Can I get that too?
I haven't been successful finding the other ruleset mods that used to be readily available. What were you wanting in terms of content? More maps? Different gamemodes, or new units?k00kev2 wrote:Don't mean to bump an old thread, but I never knew about the DR2 ruleset mod. I got a II-game pack a long time ago which introduced me to Battlezone II, Dark Reign II, Heavy Gear II, and Heretic II. Amazing games, if you haven't played the latter 2.
Anyways, I just wanted to know if the 2 downloads linked earlier were all that was available, or if there's more someone is willing to upload somewhere.

You are a god. I've been looking around and I couldn't find a fix for it. I got it running on my Win7 64bit, but that rendering...AHadley wrote:There's a fix to get the rendering issues on HG2 ironed out using the Application Compatibility Toolkit.

You'd have to pm Coyote Seven for a newer version, I must of found the old one. I might have some of those multi maps that are custom missions in my mediafire. Otherwise you're limited to maps, U.I. mods, and rulesets.k00kev2 wrote: As for the deal with DR2, I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just something new. It's a great game, but after you play it a couple 1000 times, the same ol' units and maps just get boring.
Does anyone know a fix for the unresponsive units thing? I don't know if it just happens to me, but after a certain amount of units are in-game (I normally set unit limit to 250) the units take longer and longer to respond to my commands. I'll tell them to move to someplace, and they'll start moving a minute later.
I downloaded that ruleset or whatever posted earlier in this thread. It's pretty great, I just need to go through and fix the unit names since I don't feel like looking for the download that has it set.
