Image[/img]Bill, I have tried for years to install TRP into my campaigns. Always unsuccessfully.
I have it on Steam and go to browse local files and install it in campaigns, as per instructions. But trying it tonight again. I noticed that there is no _before the file like all my other campaigns that do load up? Is this why I cannot get it to show up? My PC was custom built so the pathways to get to SC WIE are not the same as the path in the download descriptions on the forum. I would greatly love to be able to play this MOD.
If your ever in Texas? (DFW) I will buy you a steak dinner.

You did not follow the instructions. As soon as you said you put it into the Campaigns folder I knew exactly what the issue is.

Read the instructions and watch the youtube video.

There are 2 campaign folders. The one above is the official game dev one.

The one for mods is in a different location, typically under a 'my games' folder.

Thanks for the offer Craig!

The place the campaigns files need to go are here:
%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - War in Europe\Campaigns

Looking forward to hearing that you've got it sorted!

And yes I did unzip the file. Could it be I have too many games on my play campaigns? There are now 13 of them?

No, it's too deep move those unzipped files directly under the campaign folder and delete the TRP zip folder.

Those two files need to be directly under the campaign folder.
You have them in a folder one level too deep.

Move the files and delete the TRP 1.11c folder

I just do not understand what you are saying? One to deep When I put the file into campaigns per the instruction. How is that too deep? Then I add the files too the page and of course it doesn't woork?

So according to my understanding. This screen shot is one step away from me playing this MOD. Bill what do I need to do with my files to make it work, or what am I getting so wrong? What does under the campaign folder mean?

You changed the name of the directory, go to my youtube channel it shows you exactly how to install it.

Bill! Finally figured out the one mistake that I have been doing for years. I was copying and pasting the file VS sending the file to the destination. At this juncture I realize all these years I had what made sense to the human mind was not making sense to the computers mind. Thank you for staying with me to help me solve this true dilemma for years for me. Could I buy you dinner in Columbia via gift certificate or is there a book you want on Amazon? You have literally just opened up hundreds of hours of playtime for me. And before this interaction I had never taken a screenshot or use this particular method of transferring files! Despite appearing in this case to be an ID10t. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks, though I cannot take all the credit here as others saw your posts before I did and jumped in to help.

A real team effort, which is great!
