Thread: A question

  1. #1

    Default A question

    I am new to this kind of modding (in MTW that is). What i mean I used a lot of mods in previous releases of TOTAL WAR but new to MTW2.

    I instaled LTC i saw that now in MTW2 you can instal a mod without losing the original data, so now i can play LTC and/or Vanilla MTW2 with one game instale.

    So is this mod instale like that or do am I going to lose my Vanilla game.


    And is all i need now RTJ 2.2 and thats it or do I nedd also that texture pack?

    You are correct, in M2TW (this was also done with some mods in RTW) all mods will install in their own directories and will not affect your vanilla game UNLESS it replaces textures. As of the most recent release the texture pack is included in the game because there are new units that will require it. I am pretty sure that this would affect your vanilla game.

    Even with the installed textures? if he play a version without them then it would be all right, but with textures, i thought that that affected your vanilla.

    no if you dont write
    [io]
    file_first = true

    in your game cfg no files from mods are loaded. so he will still have the vanilla textures (90% of the vanilla files are in data packs not in the folders)

    OK, as I said I am not quite genious with modding.

    I dont even know what are texture files, and no need to explain that I have no idea what did RAMMSTEIN just said there. My best bet is that I need to write that text in preference file so that there would be NO changes, not even in textures (still dont know what those are....is that texture in graphics, like changed colours of factions etc....?????).

    Am I right ?????

    yes,
    well what I wanted to say is vanilla(Original M2TW 1.0 or 1.1) is not changed by this mod, and I think also most of the other mods around
