The above step will automatically create a new directory (typically) with the following path: C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB along with 4 sub-directories: C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\configs C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\dlls C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\docs C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\scripts - Copy "UltraWorldBuild.dll" from the C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\dlls directory into the top level EDEE directory: C:\EDEE - Copy "UltraSoloConfig.ecf", "UltraMultiplayerConfig.ecf", and "Ultra1on1Config.ecf" from the C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\configs directory into the following directory: C:\EDEE\Data\configs - Copy "UltraAI.eai" from the C:\EDEE\Data\DB\Unit\UltraDB\scripts directory into the following directory: C:\EDEE\Data\AIScripts YOU'RE READY TO ROCK N' ROLL (You're ready now only if your top level directory for EDEE is C:\EDEE and you have not changed the names of any directories, otherwise you need to point the config files to your location of the UltraWorldBuild.dll as described below) <<<>>> When you start either a solitare game or a network game, be sure to select one of the game configuration files you copied over. These config files specify to use the newer unit DB files. Play -> Setup New Game -> Game Configurations -> Load a Configuration -> (Select "UltraSoloConfig.ecf") Then double check to make sure that the config is pointed to the UltraWorldBuild.dll map generator by looking in: Random Map Info (Tab) -> Advanced (Button) -> Use External DLL For Terrain Placement "Use:" ON (checkbox) -> "UltraWorldBuild" (display box) Click the "Find" button if you don't see "UltraWorldBuild" displayed in the grey box to find the map generating DLL and use it. This is not an option, attempting to play one of the Ultra config files without this DLL set will cause the game to crash. Then press the "Begin Play" button! <<<>>> *************** *************** ** Working on UltraDB has been a labor of love over many years. ** If you've enjoyed playing games of EDEE using the UltraDB mod ** please consider making a donation electronically via Pay Pal ** ** at: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/transfer/send ** to: empireaddict@hotmail.com ** ** or physically mail a donation to: ** ** P.O.
