Mod Manager 1.5 (fixed download link)

[Thunderhit]

Just got it and it asked me for the path, since it couldn't find it. Strange, since it is in the steam folder, anyways I told it the path and it detected the mods and packs just fine, but when I click on launch, I get an unhandled exception saying that the value can't be NULL, parameter name: path1.

Well it's in german, but maybe it will help. "Der Wert darf nicht NULL sein." means the value must not be NULL.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

It probably can't find it because the registry keys are in German or some crazy like that. Or maybe the SteamApp numbers for localized versions are different.

But I fixed the crash. I wasn't using the path the user picked when launching the game, only when finding the mods. I'll release a fixed version tonight, but you should be able to play even with the crash - it writes the script before launching the game, so you can just launch it externally.

Edit: found it!

[Kurushimi]

Uhm, everything looks fine only the check boxes don't appear, am I doing something wrong?
I read your instructions.

[LtChambers]

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

Fixed in 1.4.

Download doesnt work :-(

[dorinus]

It's possible you have already answered the question, however I didn't find the answer.
I unzip Mod manager, but the manager doesn't start.
I get these problems details:

The files are all together and I use Vista 64 bits. Thank you

[LtChambers]

Do you have .NET 2.0? Is that the entire error message?

[mud]

Wonderful tool, thanks for creating it!

A suggestion: At the top of the Mod Manager window, state whether the mods are prioritized in ascending or descending order.

[dorinus]

Do you have .NET 2.0? Is that the entire error message?

Yes, I have .Net 2.0. It's installed by default on my computer and that is the entire message I get. Any ideas?

[LtChambers]

Are you able to run other .NET 2.0 programs? Can you run the Pack File Manager?

[krzysgro]

Hej

Guys, download doesn't work

This file is currently unavailable. Click here to view this projects available releases.

Anyone has a working link?

Pack File Manager works fine. I've tried older versions of Mod Manager and I have the same problem. the program doesn't want to start

Unfortunately, I'm getting the same error message. Any alternative download destinations?

[LtChambers]

I've never heard of so many download problems from SourceForge. If you see "file unavailable" notice that at the top there is the following message:
Are you having problems with the download? Please use this direct link or try another mirror.

Can not get modmanager to run.

I have .NET Framework 1.1 and 3.5 SP1 currently installed when I looked.
2.0 will not run on vista 64

Any ideas? Not really a computer savy dude.. lol

Or perhaps run it through exactly how to run this mod manager

P.S. DL'd mod manager 1.4 and extracted it, then double clicked the .exe

I have Vista 64 and 1.4 works fine for me. What error does it give when you try to run the exe? BTW, I placed the unzipped mod manager folder in the main Empires folder.

[Munchies]

Well, I have 3 files: common.dll, ModManager (which is an application file), and ModManager.exe (an xml configuration file).

I click on the .exe and "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Applications" starts up. If I click on the app file I get a "ModManager has stopped working" message and option to close the program.

That's it, nothing more I can do.

[LawL_LawL]

Hi, I just downloaded this so I could use the smoke and effects mod and stuff, but it didnt ato detect empire.exe, and I searched my computer for it but couldnt find it, anyoneknow where empire.exe is?

EDIT- I just found it, problem is, Mod Manager still doesnt auto detect and it doesnt allow me to manually choose it as Empire as an application doesnt appear in the avaliable list of items from the data folder

Hello.


I don't know what's going on now. Earlier i had problem when i tried to launch the game via Mod Menager 1.3.

Now i have other problem.

When I want to launch the game by using a Mod Manager

The game starts but then suddenly I see white screen and information about error.

It asks me to send and repport or don't do it ;/

I don't know what should I do.

Maybe some one could help me? ;/
