Mod Manager 1.5 (fixed download link)

[LtChambers]

@kesmai:
Edit the text file manualy. (go to any released mod thread and you'll find instructions).

@LTChambers:
There's something I don't get with loading order.
I've tried to do some compatibility "patches" for my mod to work with others but when they're in mod format they don't overwrite anything, they work fine in movie format through... (the script file was ordered like this: Base mod/My mod/patch)
Is there a limit for one db to be overwritten or something else I don't get.

It's possible there are some subtleties with the overriding system, I don't know many details about it. Maybe you can only overwrite a file once, or maybe you can only override a db file row once, or maybe you can only have the native db file and one extra modded one. Or maybe you put it in the wrong directory. I have no idea.

Thanks anyway,
I know this wasn't the good place to ask too (should have be in architecture primer).
I'll try to figure this out.
Thanks for answering

Question for you great modders :

I've done some changes that I'd like to keep by using PFM 1.9.9, only problem is with every patch it get overwritten and I have to do it over again. Modmanager should be a way to avoid this right ?

If so please help me figure out how to use it. After that I'll write a really simple guide in the Rookie thread about how to use it

Thanks in advance guys

Be sure the mod was saved as a "mod" type .pack file.

Jesus ing Christ, nobody even bothers reading the posts above them. Your question has already been answered, if you would just spend 30 seconds reading the previous posts.

[helmersen]

How do I download? (sorry for the noob question)

lt.chambers thanks for the advice .net is needed it works and runs and i´m happy again keep up your fine work you and all the other people at the modding forum are making this game tranforming into the masterpiece i´ve expected from vanilla. game is getting better day by day.

[Dayman]

Fixed in 1.3. You will be prompted to find your ETW directory.

I do not get the prompt.

[RodeoX]

The conflict detection is a great idea!

[LtChambers]

I do not get the prompt.

Does the application load correctly? If the list is empty you may not have any mod packs, only patch packs or something.

[SaDeR]

I need help with your manager mod thing, first of all can I have 2 mods running at once, second how do I change the game it launches from regular Empire total war to special forces.

I do. It gives me a "unhandled exception" error, where I may continue or quit. When I open the details it says:

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

According to your Windows registry, your game is not installed there. I doubt the uninstall in add/remove would work properly. Did you move the whole folder after installation? Or have you installed it to both places at one time or another?

I've added a case to handle your situation, where the path is found in the registry but it's actually the wrong path, so it'll be fixed in the next release.

I did actually. I just moved it back to the programs folder so I could fix this problem, but at least no one else will have it now

[TheNomad]

Nice program. I was wondering if you have to launch ETW through the ModManager if you want to use a mod pack, or if you could just launch it normally.

Already answered in the thread, but I updated the first post with the answer.
