General Question

[Hms-Clan]

I love installing mods and everything but is there a quicker way then me having to uninstall and reinstall then download the patch. I`ve tried unstalling the mods but files wont go away so.

Oh and please don`t refer me to a link because none of my questions been answered.


Thanks alot

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking how to uninstall mods so they are completely removed or do you need a mod switcher?

If you're having issues with multiple mods then you should make copies of MTW2 so that you can install the various mods on these different versions. this'll take up a great deal of room though so I suggest sticking to one version number with mods that contain their own module and exe.

I think he's saying that every time he wants to uninstall a mod, he reinstalls M2TW. You don't have to do that man. The major mods now, at least the ones I know, have a uninstall.exe. Besides, the mods don't even touch the main data folder and if they do, just be sure you have a backup of the main data folder so you can put back the original files if they were overwritten. In most cases, the mod will just add files to the main data folder instead of overwriting so you'll just have delete them. Now, that's just if the mod doesn't have a uninstall.exe.

I think Trajan is right, but I'd like to add some instructions:

If you have mods that install in your "data" folder, it is a good idea to backup the original files in this folder (as Trajan said). The files you ABSOLUTELY NEED to run the game are:

animations
cursors
fmv
sounds
world

If you keep these original, you can (if needed) clear out your entire data folder, throw the above folders back in, and have a fully functional game. This includes the patch to v1.2 or v1.3.

I reinstalled my game several times a while back, just cause I didn't know how else to undo many of the changes. Luckily I'm now a wiser man .

Happy gaming,

Matz
