brtran Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 To teleguy, I am a bit confused about your answer with the problem of invalid game folder thing. Do you mean that I have to go create server and set NO to pure server? Please tell me step by step, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleguy Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I had the same problem. When I hosted a games on the zone my friends couldn't join cause they got the error message invalid game folder (since they are americans and I'm german the name of their game folder was different to mine ). Then I noticed that I had activated pure server, when I disabled it everything was fine. To create a non-pure server start multiplayergame, click on play, then on create server, after that on advanced, set pure server to no, click on done and begin game. I know that will only help when you create a server ( especially when you mostly play p2p games like in the zone) but not when you join one. The pure server option was implemented to prevent cheaters ( = people with modified files ) from joining, so if a server is set to pure and your gamedata doesn't match the server's one you can't join . I can't think of a way to change that (maybe Raven knows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-25331- Crisis Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 You must have the original un-edited .pk3 files , so basically if you add some mods that need to be placed in assets0.pk3 file you will "corrupt" the file and that gives you the "Invalid Game Folder" error, so copy the original .pk3 file from the cd and replace the one that has been modified... This process will of course uninstall every mod that you have put in the assets0.pk3 file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not supposed to mod the assets0.pk3 file, mods should either be in thier own pk3 file or install themselves in the correct folders under Gamedata/base. But this kind of sucks, essentially you can't play with people who have a different version unless you make it easy to cheat? I hope Raven/Lucasarts will fix this at a later date.
