Mod Manager [Updated 25/04/14]

[FreeMayk]

Use the checkboxes on the right. You're currently viewing all packs, untick it.

Mods works like a charm.
Tnx for help Mitch.

I'n having issues with mod manger, how do I manualy add mod in the text file? I mean I found it, but not exactly sure what goes in, and it has a wall of text that seem to be my settings?

[Hrobatos]

Yeah I was looking at wrong text file. Mods file is empty.

Edit: nevermind I found it

[oximoxie]

Everytime I start the mod manager I have to find the exe each time.

Also i have about 20 different things to check boxes for like data or data_rome2, do I have to check these all off? How can I get it to show only the mods and not the game files?

Updated this just now, added a button to fix the cause of all potential problems for those who are having trouble.
Cheers.

None of my mods work. Radious doesn't appear in the unchecked Data, only the Hellas Mod, and it doesn't work, Spartans still have cones for helmets. And No idea if Radious will work either.

[Ragi420]

Im having the same issue as the two above me...any ideas?

It seems the program is looking for the exe in C:\Program Files (x86) - I've got steam on another disk. Any chance to get the program always search for it in a specified location by the user?

This tool wasn't originally designed by me, but with that said that's what this tool already does.

It searches your registry to find where Rome 2 is installed, then if it can't find it it asks the user to point to the game exe so it knows where it is. It then saves that location to its settings file.

Is this not happening?

Nope. Every time it asks to locate the Rome exe. Getting through all those steam folders every time is annoying

Is there anyway I can set the path myself? (Close to no skills in this field).

[thebexa]

I put Mod Manager in both directories /Total War - Rome II/ and /Total War - Rome II/data . Also edited user script and saved with Unicode.
But still Mod Manager doesn't show mods.

Any idea ?

my game crashes when i try to launch the game with this.. D:

Any way to get the manager to save the directory for my TW folder? It's not in a standard location (D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II)

I like the program but it's not worth it to have to set it every time, especially when I"m having to open and close the game every couple of minutes while I'm modding.

Fixed this just now, added a second way that the tool remembers your path if the first way doesn't work. If it finds a file called "dir.txt" next to the exe it will take the path to the game from that for example: D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Rome II

You can create it yourself or let the tool create it when you first have to locate the exe.

Assistance would be appreciated... Whenever I download the tool and extract it, upon launch, it immediately stops working... Tried the old Empire tool from the original post... no problem. So the issue seems to be with the Rome configured one. Win 7, tried extracting it to data folder, primary folder, desktop.. no dice. Tried compatibility mode... nada. Insta-crash on launch, not even asking for Rome directory... Any ideas? Would love to get back to sampling the awesome modes about the community.
