Is it only this mission that doesn't work? Or did you encounter the same problem with other ones as well?
Good, that's what it says for me too. And all of the levels have the same problem.

Oke, lets try something else.
If you execute demo0.bat and demo1.bat, in the FSCommand folder, does the game run properly?

I wonder if thisis the problem; I don't have a demo0.bat or demo1.bat in any part of the mod. If I open the FSCommand folder, the only thing in it is another folder entitled "game".

The demo? I got that from gameshell. Why? Would that make a difference?

Yes it does; most sites host a demo of 215 MB, but there are also others that have one of 185 MB or something (like GameSpot.)

The weird thing is that I modified the demo from GamersHell (the same one you have), so there shouldn't be a difference in our version. :?

It keeps saying that in the folder FSCommand should be something called DEMOIMPERIALGLORY.EXE. Is it possible something happened to that during sometime of the provcess of installation or downloading.

And I have already downloaded the mod 3 times to see if it was different.

Can you make a screenshot of your FSCommand folder please? If you don't have a place to upload it, simply send it to my e-mail address (see my profile.)

Press 'Prt Scr' (print screen, right from F12) and paste the image in paint and save the image.

I don't know, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't get the stupid thing to take a shot of it! I'm clicking it but nothing happens.

The only thing in my FSCommand folder is another folder called "game". What should be in it?

I am not sure if that helped but I thought perhaps it could. Maybe I put the downloaded file in a bad place?

Did you installed the mod to "C:\IG_demomod" ?
If yes, then you're doing something wrong. You have to install the mod to the same folder as the installation folder of the demo.


If printscreen isn't working, try Alt + Prt Scr instead. Now launch paint and press Ctrl + V, then save it. :)

I got is sorted , all I did was overwrite files in pyro studio thingy and then clicked on map i wanted to play . Nice mod hanover is very hard lol. Okay also you extract the files from the mod file to pyro studios . You overwrite everything it says to . But do not start game with icon you have to click the name of the map which is a file . For instance hanover austria file and it loads that battle.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! And here is how if you need it too:

The DemoimperialGlory that should have been in the FSCommand folder is just a copy of the demo itself. So I copied that and put it in that folder. Then it said I need a file called vorbis.dll, so I found that and put it in. Then it need another called ogg.dll, and ANOTHER called blink32.dll. After all of those were put into the folder FSCommand in the ImpieralGloryDemo mod it worked.

Thanks for your help, though, Sick!

Nevermind it doesn't work :cry: . Well it does but everytime it begins to load the battle, it stops with this error message asking if I want to send a report to miscrosoft! It will begin to load but that's it. Atleast the British level loads and plays now.

And just so you know, whenever I choose to play Hanover as the Austrians, it makes me play Cryenaica as the Brits. Is there something seriously wrong or is it just me?

I didn't ask "Where did you download the demo" but "Where did you installed the demo" (so not the mod!)

dont change anything when installing...clikc next all the time. so then it will be in "C:\Program Files\Pyro Studios\Imperial Glory Demo\. then put a mod in the same folder.
