yeah paste it one line at a time into it. but i still have some major miss-understanding here... i have read everything and still i am having the same problem. do i have to do something to the .Big files other than just putting them in the data folder? do you need to change the "start in:" line under the "target"? "C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Data"-mod Planetpack.Big,SWSOUND.Big,SWMUSIC.Big,GENHODS.Big,PLATHODS.Big,IMPHODS.Big, REBHODS.Big,PIRHODS.Big,CORE.Big -luatrace -hardwareCursor i have gotten so confused from reading all the posts on how to fix this issue so i am pasting my path here... there isnt a good answer to where to put the ( " )'s that i can find. i think my problem maybe resting right here in my target line ( \Data"-mod ) but i have tried so many variations... will someone take a little pity on me?
