Help - CC3+ not recognizing addon

Gromek

Just bought the new trifecta - it's awesome - I'm having a technical issue however with DD3 not showing in the 'Tools -> Add Ons' menu after installation - DD3SetupForCC3Plus.exe was installed successfully without hangup. Thanks in advance for any help.

Make sure you downloaded the DD3 for CC3+ add-on, and not DD3.

Gromek

That is the file that I downloaded

Do you have an antivirus software turned on? Some have reported installation problems in that case.

I have the same problem
I installed CD and DD for CC3plus (CC3plus is on the installer exe name, so yes they are the correct installes for CC3+)

I have only malwarebytes and I have it disabled for the install.

I even set the executable for the installers as Admin permissions.

I do see the dll's in the folder which have CD and DD (CD2, XPDD2 and XPDD2_cc3) So I'm assuming these have indeed really installed. I even re-ran the installers to repair.

I still don't have them listed as addons in cc3plus. (and I set cc3plus to run as Admin as well.)
If I look at Symbol manager, I do see sconces torches for walls and portcullis' and other wall decor... so??

Anything else I should do? (Running Win7)

Have you run the latest CC3+ Update after you installed version of DD3 for CC3+ ? You always need to run the latest Update program after you install an add on so it can make any fixes to the add on and config the menus.

Magnatude

yes I have the plus update, it was the only way to get the addons to see cc3+ to install them. I shall run it again...

Which order should I install the 2 new updates - SS1 and CC+ update 2. Does it make a difference?

Barliman

I'll ask the same question as qwalker: I installed first CC3+ update 2, then SS1 for CC3+. SS1 isn't listed under Tools|Addons, nor does a button show up for it in the button bar. Should I do it again, but reverse the order?

Monsen

I don't think the order matters, there are no fixes in Update 2 that targets SS1 files directly (It does contain updates to core CC3+ files that is required for SS1 to work properly though, so the Update is important for SS1 to work correctly).

SS1 doesn't have it's own menu set, so it is correct behavior that you won't see a menu entry or toolbar button. SS1 uses the standard overland menus. Just use the new map wizard to start a new SS1 map (overland category), and you have everything ready.

Okay, Monsen, thanks.
