Yes, I am still adding content to the mod by way of Hot Fixes.
I put a note about this at the end of the last Hot Fix I released earlier this month.Long term plans for the mod are still best found here, given the current abandoned status, subject of course to change should saddog return.Hot Fix v05 Note said:I think for now I will continue to release Hot Fixes with new additions as I get them finished. I'm working on a couple more additions currently and then will pick another couple from the list. As you know progress is slow because of my available time, but I am enjoying the process of adding these things to the game as always, so I will keep on working at it. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. As always, let me know if you run into any issues.

So I am kinda confused. As someone who never played the original game, and assuming that it is truly abandoned like what seems to be the case, will an ending be made with this mod at some point or will the game forever be incomplete? as that matters a lot in deciding whether to play it or not. Thanks.

I'm sorry you're having issues with the mod.
Without posting your traceback error results, I can really only guess what is happening.But sometimes users don't realize this is a non-intrusive mod, meaning you don't have to overwrite any files when installing the mod. You take the full SAZMOD folder and place it inside of the game folder within The Tyrant folder so it looks like this:
- The Tyrant - Main Folder
- game
- SAZMOD
- edited
- music
- scripts
- SAZMOD
- game
Of course that might have nothing to do with the error you're getting. It's just something users have run into before because the installation is different than most of the mod installations out there, and it can be easy to miss if they don't read the installation instructions too closely.
If that doesn't help, you can post the error you are getting and I would be happy to try to help figure out what is going on as best I can.

Thank you for posting that. So when I've seen this error reported it's usually been because the SAZMOD files were in the wrong place. But from what you described to me, that doesn't seem to be the case.
I'm going to include a screenshot of the game folder just in case, but again, I don't think it's your issue because of what you said.

So I redownloaded the SAZMOD from the same link you are getting it from just to test it (I already have the originals of course, but I wanted to be extra sure the download wasn't corrupted) and I installed in on a fresh install on a couple test machines. It seems to be working on both of them just fine. So I don't believe it's an issue with the mod files itself. But I wanted to double check that first.
This leaves the other cases, where for some reason, it just didn't like the location where the game was installed(usually the default download location). There were a couple users that were running into this issue were everything was in place, but it just wouldn't load the mod for some reason, they fixed it by installing the game in a new location, like a Games folder or something like that. I have no idea why the issue was happening, as said, I can't recreate the issue on my test machines, but it just seems that certain machines have been picky on not having the main game in a default download location. I know that can be a pain and might not be worth it to you just to try a mod. I wish I could do more on my end, but where I can't recreate the issue, I just don't know why for sure it's happening on your machine.
I know that there have been problems with another game where the folder names or path are to long.. For TftUV (tales from the Unending Void) the name is so long that problems have been reported. I would recommend trying to make folder names SMALL and see if that helps.
Hope that helps.
P.S. Will we EVER have a Dev that has the COURAGE to add Chocolate Chip Cookies to a game??

Well Shiva0067, here is a little something for you, as requested(way overdue).
For now, if anyone wants to use it as an in-game phone background, just go to the SAZMOD > edited > gui > phoneback folder and replace one of the backgroundXX.png images with this one. Just remember to change the name to match the one you decide to replace it with as well. I'll be including it in the next Hot Fix.
