Problem with Native Expanded Mod Files

[JuberBerry]

Good morning.

I just found this game a few weeks ago, and have been enjoying the heck out of it. A great mix of RTS, and FPS with a dash of RP thrown in for spice.

I just finished reading about the user created Native Expansion, and would like to try it out as it sounds like it has several very cool features , but I am having a problem with file corruption . 3 of the 4 files listed as downloads from this thread are reporting as broken with both the trial version of WinRAR, and 7zip.

Here are the specific errors:

If someone could point me to either:

• An alternate download location for these individual files.
• An alternate source for the ZIP/RAR files.

I would be greatly appreciative.

::EDIT:: I forgot to mention that I've re-downloaded the files several times, and the errors are consistent.

Thanks

Did you install the patches? for the expansion, that is.

This isn't installing ... this is just extracting the files that I downloaded.

The mod does work if I copy one of the other .dds files, and then rename it to the DDS file that was corrupted. Not sure what will happend when I encounter an object that USES that DDS file though LOL.

Basically if you download the .RAR files specified in the link I posted and extract them the action of extracting is what generates the errors .

Thanks

I don't know how to fix it but you should post it in Native Expansion
