Ok well, good to know you've got a base idea.

Games take time. Have fun first, then get serious. This forum is the best place to be for info. You'l be grand.

well my first attempt to install som didnt go..  it asks me if this: does c: / program files / KF specify a file name or directory name on the target?  then i tryed both options then it says access denied unable to create directory c: / program files / KF..  err what do i do? or is thee a place in forums to see what to do?  help lol

wimper whimper...  what do i do or where do i got to find out what to do?

Are you installing SOM from a disk iso or from the installer I made on the main page?

If you are using the latter, it might be blocking you from copying the files due to account administration in vista/windows 7....to get around it, just manually copy the SOM folders over to the proper directory yourself (thats really all the batch file is doing anyhow) and be sure to run the registry when finished...

If you change the base directory of where its installing then youll have to modify the registry file accordingly before applying it so windows knows where the base installation directory resides.

So you'l create a KF folder in your c drive.

If you need to modify the install location right click on the file with 'bricks' and click edit, if you need choose a program choose notepad.

If it asks to run click run.
