Checksums

from Sins Forums
Storytime.
A friend and I sat down for a good lan game of sins.
We weren't actually on a lan, so we opted for hamachi.
All in all, it went great, up until we wanted to use mods.
When we would install the mods and then attempt to join the game being hosted, we would receive a notice that our mod checksums did not match, and to check to be sure we had the same mod.
It didn't matter who hosted, same result.

We were using mods that are listed right on the front page of the mods section, nothing obscure.

Heres the first, the "WLd Combat Visual Mod"
and the second "Bailknight`s Graphic Mod ver 1.3 FIXED"

So, i'm wondering, what can i do to make this work?
modding

The reason why some people get a different checksum is because they also extract the readme to the Bailknight mod folder they make.If one of you adds the readme while the others do not, the checksum will be different. Once the dude who added the readme deletes it then disables and re-enables his mod, the checksum will be the same as everyone who didn't add the readme. I suggest that anyone who downloads and sets up the mod, do NOT include the readme in the Bailknight folder you make. Only add the 7 folders. Also, the main folder name doesn't matter. It just helps you identify the mod in the options menu of the game. The main folder name doesn't actually change your checksum.I can safely say this because a few mates and I tried it. They added the readme by accident because they extracted all to the folder, while I'd already set mine up before hand and didn't add the readme. Their checksum ended up different. I asked them to remove the readme after they'd notified me that they had added it, and when they disabled and re-enabled their mods, it worked.Anyway. I only just joined up to this forum in order to say this and one more thing:Bailknight, your mod is a work of art. Well done! I refuse to play this game without the mod, as the combat is extremely dull otherwise. You've really brightened up the battles, and made cinematic mode worth switching on. I applaud your genius.
