Hey and thanks for the review! A Mac version may come out in the future

Hey and thanks for the review.
I have not heard about this issue before. It sounds like either a bug or the antivirus randomly deleting a file (common with avast/avg/norton). If you make a post on the SDTL forum thread (link at the top of this page) with some additional information I can try to help you out!
When does the error appear? Does it say anything else (along the error)? Does a fresh download of SDTL2 work? Are you running the game from a shortcut or a console?
Feel free to include any other information that you think could be relevant!

Hey and thanks for the review!
Adding mods is done the same way as without SDTL2. If you're new to SDT and don't want to fiddle around with files for hours (like I did), then I strongly recommend reading "Getting Started with SDT" ( https://www.undertow.club/threads/getting-started-with-sdt.7945/ ) as well as downloading a "Loader Bundle" (links can be found in the guide). You can use a Loader Bundle together with SDTL2 by replacing the "SDTL2/game" folder with the loader bundle folder (just make sure that the "SDT.swf" and "Loader.swf" files end up directly inside "SDTL2/game"!).
If you have any more questions you can post them on the forum thread (link is at the top of this resource's page)

Hey and thanks for the review!
I don't think I've had that exact issue, so I can't give you an exact solution. But you could try changing the order of the mods in Mods.txt or renaming the mod(s) to one of the following names: "Char.swf", "Mod.mod" or "Mod.swf". (since they all(?) get loaded when a character folder is loaded if my memory serves me right)
Loading mods has always been error prone in my experience (even before I started working on SDTL) and I've had quite a few problems/bugs related to it while developing SDTL and my other mods. But I would like to solve this issue, so please send me a PM with more details about your character folder & what mods are listed in your "Mods/$INIT$/Mods.txt" file! : )

Hello and thanks for the review!
I think this is a fair critisism and I remember having the same opinion when I first got into SDT modding. The documentation is still a work in progress so expect it to improve over time. For now I'm sort of assuming that all SDTL users are already familiar with the Loader (which is what uses the "$INIT$" folder btw). I'll update the resource overview to include a section for new users. If I'm not mistaken there is a great guide somewhere on this site for getting started with mods. Feel free to ask questions at the forum or PM me

Thanks for the review! Mods are loaded the same way with and without SDTL. Any mods you want to load on startup should be placed in "sdtl2/game/Mods/$INIT$" (and added to the "Mods.txt" file in the same folder). The "sdtl2/mods" folder is intended for SDTL2 specific mods only (it works just like the $INIT$ folder). If you have any more questions you can post them on the SDTL thread and I'll reply there (there's a link at the top of this resource's overview)!

Thanks for the review! I've made some changes to the "auto_character_folders" feature that'll make it work as intended (thanks to some feedback), they will be included in the next release. The increased/decreased framerate is an unintended side-effect of using a different flash player. It would be interesting to see how different versions of the flash plugin changes the framerate! : )
some_dude
Thanks! The improved performance was an unexpected bonus. If you have any suggestions feel free to post them on the forum thread or in a PM! : )

Hello and thanks! This sounds like something that could be caused by corrupt or malformed "flash cookies". You can delete the following folder to get rid of them "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\sdtl2\Pepper Data". If that doesn't help you can reply to me in a PM or on the forum thread at the top of this resource.

Hey and sorry for the long delay! Fullscreen support has now been added (press F4 to toggle fullscreen and F2 to toggle the sidebar)

Hey! The new version comes bundled with SDT and the Loader in the correct locations. This should make things easier to figure out!

Hello.
Does the error say "Game file not found."? If so, then it's either the "location" or "entry" setting that's incorrect.
Open the file "settings.json" and change the value of "location" to the path of folder you have SDT.swf in.
Example: "C:/games/sdt/"
If you're not using the mod loader, change the value of "entry" to "SDT.swf" (instead of "Loader.swf").
Let me know if that solves it, and thanks for the 5 stars :D
