Hello all!

I'd like to ask for some help regarding setting up LORD II Complete New World on Synchronet. I have recently installed the latest version of Synchronet, and was trying to activate the LORD II game that was already included in the installation. However, the game is just the vanilla Lord II 1.01, and it doesn't contain the CNW IGNs. I also understand that the one pre-installed in the Synchronet distribution is the JS ported version, not the original one.

I pretty much like the CNW that is installed in Vertrauen; I tried downloading a LORD2 v1.02 and a separate CNW package, but for some reason I am unable to succeed (maybe because I don't have the registration code for LORD2?)

Would appreciate all the help. Thanks!

Thanks! You're the (Digital) Man! ^_^
I will try this out the moment I get back home.

Hi Digital Man,

I tried doing this at home and checked the xtrn/lord2/cnw folder. However, upon checking, there are no .js files in that folder, so I cannot run lord2 from there. I'm using the latest version of Synchronet v3.20d using the Windows installer.

Please advise.

Just copy (or symlink) lord2/*.js to lord2/cnw/.

Just copy (or symlink) lord2/*.js to lord2/cnw/.

Just did it, now it works.

Thanks a bunch!
