So I'm running BWS and am having trouble downloading mods for the standard package

 

It seems like a lot of mods are a different size that what the GUI is expecting and it will not recognize the file once it is downloaded by it or myself.

 

What can I do about this?

Bump, seriously, someone has to know what the hell is up with this or where to point me to an answer

I had no problem with that and i installed 2 days ago

If you run the script without admin-rights (e.g. you click AutoIt3.exe and select BiG World Setup.au3) you may manage to don't have access to the config-files and thus create yourself some problems.
Or you could have problems with wget, which could also result in errors.
Or wget presents the stuff but AutoIt3 fails to read the stdout-stream.

To make it short:
When the download is finished, you can provide the files. If you're sure that those that you got are correct, tell the BWS to just take them and not check size/names.
If that still fails, something is likely wrong will file-permissions. The best bet to not have problems is to put the BWS-folder onto your desktop.

Dude, holy shit that's it

 

Thank you so much

 

I couldn't find a guide that was for the current GUI and had no idea I was supposed to run that instead of big world setup.vbs

Huh? The vbs should just run the script with admin-rights to get rid of those problems.
Alien also removed the notes for Windows7/8 since he was sure that it works correctly.
If it did not, there's a little bug in the vbs-file or maybe he should put those notes back in the help-texts.

That's years outdated and doesn't cover using autoit3.exe or the current GUI

 

I was going by that to begin with

I had tried running the vbs for months now and randomly decided to give it another shot and ask here

Is there any kinda readme or something that I just can't find? It seems pretty standard of a thing to include but all I see is a faq and about links which are useless in regards of how to start it

[dabus]

Errors are usually at different places, so there's no troubleshooting section in it now.
It has also grown quite big, so putting every possible combination / errors into one text that's good to read would be a little challenging.
Maybe another section in the faq about errors would be helpful.
