Title: What is the best way to tackle LEX ?
Post by: Bluebeard on July 20, 2007, 06:06:03 AM
After getting the new computer and getting the game updated I think it's time to start downloading custom stuff.
   So how do you suggest is best and easiest way to download off LEX without getting lost or confused?.Thanx

i would say to download all the dependency packs first so when you download what you want from the LEX you dont have to worry about hunting down all the dependencies

Thanx Fil.
   It sounds like a good idea.So are the Dependency Packs all in 1 spot or is a little hunting required?.Thanx

BB, first you should download Wou's Downloader Manager Tool...  http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=841

Next, go to the LEX and click on the Power Search button on the top and select "Dependency Props" in the LEX category pulldown.  When you see the ones you want in the list, look for the "add to download list" link to the right of the text.  Click this.  When you've added all the files you want, launch the Download Manager, enter your LEX username and password and the software will download all the files for you in one chunk..You'll be amazed how much time this saves.

If you need any more help, just ask my friend.

Let me know if there are any broken links and what not.  I have found a couple, but nothing major.  If the links broken, but there is an MMP, try that too.
