Cant take off blood mod! Game crashing!

[Totalheadache]

I have blood mod 4 for 1.4 and when i take out the 2 files from my data folder game wont run. it's patched up to last update.

game runs fine using mod manager but why should taking the 2 files out cause my game to crash on load?

even when i dont load the game using mod manager blood mod and smoke trails mod is still working

after taking out the bloodmod from data,make also sure to delete your user empire script contents(all your mods there)
(you can find it here;C:\Documents and Settings\Your name\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts)

Its suppose to work. Delete the mod and all mod scripts, open the mod
manager ,and run the game without mods.Then reinstall the BS and run mod manager again , you will see two conflicts,its dont matter,keep going,it will work.Be sure u use the medium version to 1.4.

but wont deleting my scripts mean the game wont work. was i meant to have made a copy of the original scripts?

so something overwrites my original scripts when i install new mods?

(i want to run the game without the bloodmod).

No,you only have to delete the contents of your ''user.empire_script "" thats the script that shows all your mods
When you have taken out Blood from data,it will still be in you user script,thats why it crashes,and thats why you have to delete all contents


NOTE;Do Not take out the contents of your preferences. empire-script
screen;

thks for that morgan!!

dont mind the blood mod just smoke for me is ok on normal and the blood is ok but not amazing. ok it does add effects but cuts off fps a bit.

if u can recommend an extra gory bloodmod without the smoke. i believe since all the latest patches smoke has got better?

(have only got it working again recently...and i now think i know why it wouldnt work previously...it was perhaps due to the script file u have pointed out)

Just try the BSM light mod,thers blood and smoke and unit marching sounds,only the smoke has decreased so better for your Fps

install in data and tick all boxes again in MM(i reckon you have now deleted the contents of the user empire script folder)
First time start the game up through MM,after that you can just hit the Empires icon again
