Mods compatibility (v.1.5 updated 24th Oct)

[ignasigh]

Hi there

I'm always wondering...can I install this submod without having a CTD coz I've got another? The answer will be...well if they use the same files as the previous one, you will probably have a problem. Sometimes...it's not as easy as not sharing files...it's a mess!

So I decided to put a crosstable with the submods compatibility, what do you all think? Can you ppl tell me the submods and compatibilities? I'll take them and I'll post the table from time to time.

I agree, this is a good idea. Most mods will tell you if/what they're compatible with, but having it all in one thread would be handy. As far as compatible mods go, I'm running:

-Realistic Recruitment
-Byg's Grim Reality 3
-Stainless Steel Total Combat (With RAJ 1.3)
-Basilea Ton Romanian
-Y+Y's visual pack (Can work with any mod)
-Crimson Tide 4.1 (Can work with any mod)

I'd like to add in the Knights Templar mini-mod along with faction leaders and generals mod, but last time I tried I broke something. So not sure if those work with what I have.

Knights Templar are not compatible with BYG, so that was probably your landmine.

I thought Basileia Ton Romaion wasn't compatible with RR or Total Combat. That's why I hesitate to download it. Did you modify anything to get it to work ?

Errr...what? CBUR is incompatible with SSTC. As someone else already said, I would have downloaded it long ago if I knew they were compatible. Have you done some of your own tweaking?

Improved Burning Man effects (i use a version edited by myself but theres is a mod in the forums: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=167437)

i have tinkered with a few files here and there [eg Byzantium has the Yellow 2headed eagle as a CoA and campaign banner...did some minor skinning (recoloured some campaign models) and reassigned some models] but nothing that would affect compatibility in a major way -i think-...i have read through all the threads on each mod i messed with and applied some fixes/tweaks from players etc for some of them .It seems to be working 100%...





DEAD -seems so anyways-
Should work with any mod (that doesnt change the same files)
No further support from creator -seems so anyways since he doesnt seem to bother with the thread-

Will be uninstalling SS soon [i hope] in order to reinstall this time with 2tpy the way it should be... (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=190081) just as soon as the "Βασιλεια των Ρωμαιων" gets in there...so i'll post another list at somepoint in the near - i hope - future...

Good luck with ur project and +rep

Ok here it's the 1st preview...I wait for more info!

Sorry but this graph dont tell the truth :-(. Most major mods overhoul dont work with each other unless they have some fixes.

Errr... mighty Barser ...did you see that all white spaces are pending to define? I only put green in the ones that I'm (or people confirm me) that are 100% compatible.

battle for the baltic works with both total combat and bgr 3

Don't you need to do some specific compatibility work to make Battle for the Baltic work with BGR 3?

[Gwyn ap Nud]

True, is the chart including compatibility patches?

[ignasigh]

Of course it's, I think it's better to let ppl know that some mods are compatible (but after making some tricks and installing some patches) rather than thinking they are totally uncompatible.

[eggthief]

uh well there are multiple btfb files that can be downloaded for several mod combinations, sstc is installed the same way as always and bgr 3 has to be installed manually in the end.

[Tsarsies]

as far as i know, BGRIII works with any mod, including kingdoms and vanilla. Just dont select byg when installing Stainless steel or the 6.1 and then download the bygIII installer. It does everythiong for you. I also assume BGRIV will use the same installer...

[Lord_Calidor]

Knights Templar Mod is compatible with BftB, Garrison Script, Lower Terrain, No Borders, Real Recruitment, Recrutiment Limitations, Stone Forts, Total Combat and Xenophonia. That's it for now, for the rest of them it needs additional testing.

Edit: Tsarsies, do you know if BYG depends on the vanilla units names? So any mods that change them, like eg. KTM, BftB etc, could mess it up...?

[Tsarsies]

honestly i dont know, but i have up till now assumed that the installer made all the required changes...

[Barser]

Hey I think it is a nice graph and such.. Nice idea but it is just not as simple as this.

[-Ghost-]

It seems to work well for most mods, though. Since a lot of them make graphical changes, it's just the big ones that conflict. On a related note, what does the Faction Leaders and Generals mod conflict with, cause I always break something when I install it.

It is not just graphic changes. I dont overrite any files. Like putting in new skins instead of the current ones.
I instead added new content and therefor I pretty much had to edit the same entrys as the ones that makes new units since it is both located in the modeldb. That is where most conflicts occures with installing a bunch of sub mods.
Must of the times I can just add my changes from that file to another one to makes the mod work in some fix.
Oh yeah and some other stuff here and there.

Like I sayd it is not that simple but if the creators of the different sub mods here could just tell the changes they added then it would be easy enough to add it all into one package without major bugs.
