Masterbase and Themes FAQ
Posted: 28 May 2008, 21:22
Here's a small FAQ which can help you if you have problems.
1. Download masterbase. Go to http://www.slightlymagic.net/base.shtml and click on the corresponding link. If you see strange characters on your screen try another browser or right click link and select "Save link as..." You'll get an .rar file.
2. Unpack masterbase. RAR is an archiver similar to ZIP (but with much better comression). You'll need WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/), 7zip or any other program which can unpack RAR archives.
3. Replace Master.mwBase and Data\Sets.dat files in the MWS folder with the new ones. Make sure to replace both files.
4. That's all. Now you can run MWS.
5. If you're using Vista and have problems - disabled the UAC.
If you want to install themes:
1. Download them.
2. Unpack *.mwTheme files to the Themes folder which is inside MWS folder.
3. Run MWS and change graphic theme (Tools->Preferences->Interface).
4. Sometimes MWS just shuts down then trying to change the theme. It's not theme's problem. It's MWS bugs. There's a solution from GTAkito. Try to delete the sample in the "custom sets" folder, then open the program and change theme under interface as directed.
If you still have problems - feel free to ask me in the forum or via e-mail.
