Questdog's Names Reminder

Questdog · 05-09-2014, 03:30 PM

For all of you who are using Questdog's name files, remember that you need to re-install the files after patching your game if you want to continue using them in new games you create.

You do NOT need to re-import them into any saved game that already had Questdog's names before the patch.

Thank you very much for the reminder, you just saved at least one person at least an hour of time.

I found it easier simply to copy the database folder to the desktop, then patch, and then replace the folder. I don't believe it breaks anything doing it this way, but someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

That is a fine way to do it, unless some of the other default files have been changed in a patch, although they rarely are. None were in this patch.

I'll try to keep an eye out for if any ever are and give a heads up.

Thank you on behalf of everyone, QD. I know I've said it before, but I think this is the best mod for immersion ever created, and its great that you did all this!

Where do I find your mod Questdog and how do I install it?

Thanks!

Thanks!

It is on OOTPMods.com, just read the readme inside and you'll be all set.

Quest did you find that the stats and addons folder were fine?

I think those would be the only things I can see that being overwritten would cause me to go on a **** kicking storm

Trying this out in 15 now for the first time. Thanks for doing this work.
Is it normal for the "re-importing" process to take quite a while......?

This was a full installation, not really a patch, so EVERYTHING that had the same name as a default file was overwritten. If it isn't something that exists in the base game, like the add-on downloads, it was not erased, unless you uninstalled OOTP and chose to erase everything.

Yes.

Creating a new game with it takes no time at all, but re-importing ANYTHING takes longer because OOTP has to rebuild the whole database.
