That's what I thought. Who said anything about renaming the folder? Don't do that.

In the game, on your profile screen (the same place you downloaded the gfx package) is a line called GFX packages. (below E-mail and above gender). That is where you put the folder address with the slash.

Very glad to hear! :D

If someone wants to try those German Firefox directions, I'd be curious to know if they work too.

OK I had to grab the Firefox browser to test some work I'm doing anyway, so I figured I'd get to the bottom of this gfx package thing. I hope this is of interest to some of you. It's a little complicated, but I figure mozilla users are a little more savvy than most.

Step 1: Find your settings folder.
On WinXP, it will look something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\a1b2c3d4.default
Note the sections in bold will be different for everyone. "YourName" is the name you log in to Windows XP with. And the other section is a random set of letters and numbers, but it will be obvious once you're in that Profiles folder.

On Vista you will see "\AppData\Roaming\" instead of \Application Data\ but the rest is the same.

Step 2: Edit or create "user.js".
This is customized settings, and we need to tell the browser that it's ok to look to your local machine for graphics in this case. It needs to be a plain text file, so edit or create in Notepad or some similar text-only editor. You need this code:
// Allow Kapilands to use local files
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://www.kapilands.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
If you are making user.js from scratch, just paste in that information and save it. (Make sure it saves as "user.js", not "user.js.txt" or something like that.) If you are editing an existing copy, just add these lines to the end.

Step 3: Restart Firefox

Step 4: In Kapilands, go to the profile screen, and on the box next to "GFX packages" put this:
file:///c:/kapiland-gfx/
Note the "file:///" in front, you need that with all 3 slashes.

If you unzipped the package somewhere else, adjust accordingly. but the directory you give should contain two subdirectories, "pics" and "styleman".

And then you should be ready to roll.

it worked but without any picture. just with white background and black text. a lot faster to load but not good looking.
Is there any way to make it good?

I use Opera too, and my quick test back when I wrote that only showed the same thing, white screen w/o graphics. There may be a way around it but I didn't find it. (I use Opera 9.2 btw.) Then again I didn't look all that hard either, and I'm afraid I'm not likely to do so soon. :(

If someone wants to figure it out and post their additional tricks, I'd encourage that.

(Just because I'm responding doesn't mean I'm here.)

Doesn't work for me.

Firefox version 2.0.0.9
Windows XP SP2

I followed the instructions:

1. Created a user.js file in the appropriate directory. It definitely does not have a .txt hiding off the end, the icon of the file is the special JS file icon for Visual Studio.

2. Copy + pasted the text above into this file and saved it.

3. Shut down Firefox completely, and checking task manager to make sure firefox.exe was not running.

4. Downloaded the graphics pack called "metropolis" off the forum, extracted it into "C:\kapiland-gfx\metropolis"

5. In profile page I put "file:///c:/kapiland-gfx/metropolis/" under GFX packaged input.

6. Clicked "change" button to save profile.

What happens is when I refresh the page it looks like there is no style sheet loaded at all. Everything is default white background, no images and Times New Roman font.
