downloading comunity mod fail

[nababu]

i recently reinstalled the game on the pc and when installing comunity mod, it goes up to 35%( sometimes less) then the download speed drops to 0 and it says its failed. other mods they installed without problem. what can i do?

That's a bit strange. Depending on your Operating System, you might check if there are leftovers of the mod that were not correctly cleared.

My knowledge of this kind of stuff is pretty limited. I’m playing on windows. The message I get when it fails is that the amount of data was stored before failure. In the folder of mods, the community mod is empty

hm, maybe try deleting that empty folder, and anything else in the mods folder that might be related to the community mod.

I had a similar observation a while ago - no mod would install and just break after a it downloaded telling me it failed (folder was empty afterwards).

The reason was identified (thanks to @Vantha!) that I had remainders (= saved games) of an old installation (0.25) on my harddisk and this conflicted with the mods somehow. Removing them solved the issue.

@nababuSuggest to have a look as well, maybe it helps!

I don’t think so because I reinstalled windows recently. And that com mod folder I’ve deleted and still no results

Similar cases that I have heard about were caused by existing files or folders that blocked writing the new community-mod downloaded files. There are three separate storage locations that have user data related to 0ad. I would advise backing up and removing each of them in order to troubleshoot this issue. The logical process is to start by removing only mods, then test downloading community-mod. If that doesn't work then proceed to removing other 0ad user data.

This webpage describes the storage locations of 0ad user data.

If you need help with this, you can talk to me on IRC.

@nababuDownloading it from your browser then installing it manually seems a quicker solution to me. I think it should work for you.

1. Download:

https://g-5.modapi.io/v1/games/5/mods/2144305/files/4964810/download

2. Unzip in mod folder:

System Default location for the /0ad/mods/folder

• Linux: ~/.local/share/0ad/mods/
• macOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/0ad/mods/
• Windows: ~\Documents\My Games\0ad\mods\
