Mod Manager [Updated 25/04/14]

[Outcast]

I am having the same issue as some people. The mm wont launch at all with or without mods, it just insta crashes with black screen and thats it.

[The Black Ghost]

I am a newbie and I have a few questions. If anyone can answer it would be greatly appreciated (a guide for installing mods is needed greatly on this site)

1. If a conflict is detected between mods--does it only load one of the mods, or does it use both mods but overwrite the data of the mod which is further down the list?

2. Can I launch mods without using this Tool after I initially load them with the mod manager? (for instance, I have checked off all of my mods in the mod managed and saved the profile...do I need to start the game through the mod manager still or can I use the default launcher now?)

3. Is there any way to tell what mods are running in-game?

[Enasteron]

Million thanks. Amazing tool +1 rep

[Optio82]

WHy does my download of Mod Manager keep asking me to find the Empire.Exe?

[Man of West Gondor]

I'm loading my mods with mod loader, and for some reason the units on the battlefield clothes are colored all pink. What is going on?

[ProfJingles]

Please someone add some persistence to the path config. As I have a none standard installation path dumbass Mod Loader asks me to point him to the TWR2 folder each and every time

[CsDarKnight]

When I try to launch with Mod Manager, my computer says Rome 2 has stopped working and goes to black screen. Any solutions yet?

[triptyck]

aw man. i wish i hadn't pressed FIX ANY PROBLEMS. before, i could sort and toggle all packs, now it only shows MOD format packs.

any way to revert?

[unto_the_locust]

whenever i try to start the mod manager it shows me this The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) am i the only one with this problem

Oh my, can someone please answer this question that multiple people have posted asking (maybe I'm insane or have glossed over an answer somewhere but I'll reiterate the question here anyway); Must we use the Mod Manager to launch the game every time for the mods to work? Or can we just do it once, and then launch normally through steam every other time? Or must we create a save game after launching with the mod manager first and then we can launch normally? etc., etc. Please answer if you could, thanks very much.

Launch once via mod manager, the manager creates the neccessary scripts, you can then launch via Steam, the scripts will be there to activate the mods forever, at least until you launch the game via mod manager again with different or no mods or remove them manually.

I receive that when I start the program. Going to look into it tomorrow hopefully I can find a solution I am sure there are others with the same problem.

Hi,

My modmanager simply stops working immediately when started. I mean the modmanager window wont even open. It worked before the third patch, but not sure if it's cause by the patch. At first I thought it was a problem reading the file names of my mod files or something like that, but even when removing all mod packs it doesn't work.

I ran it with procmon and noticed modmanager.exe periodically looks for modmanager.config or modmanager.exe.config in the Rome 2 folder, and I don't have this file, which begs the question, should I have it permananently there? Or if not, then where is the configuration that modmanager creates so that the mods are launched right with Rome? Because I'm afraid even if I delete modmanager I cannot add new mods because theres a config file somewhere.

Launch once via mod manager, the manager creates the neccessary scripts, you can then launch via Steam, the scripts will be there to activate the mods forever, at least until you launch the game via mod manager again with different or no mods or remove them manually.

Thanks for that help Mitch. I haven't added any mods since Rome 1. I have all of these games, I still miss Shogun 1.. I spend a lot of time playing them, that being said, I have never been more than a "normal" setting player. Maybe cause I'm 61? Nah.... Anyway, I hate to ask stupid questions, or ask what others have asked as well, and this is exactly the question I wanted answered. Unlike a lot of people, I spend a lot of time digging for those answers before posting.

So, just to let you know, Thanks.

[gibonez]

Just an FYI Leitchy30 messaged me saying this fix worked for him:

"put a file called dir.txt next to the exe and in the file put your path to the Rome2 exe in there. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II"

Didn't solve the issue I bet its on my end. I'll try to figure it out myself and if I find a solution I will post it here

[Skiller4gods]

I am sorry if this was written before but how do you add mods to the mod manager? I extracted it and opened it but I can't find a way to add mods to it please help.

[Skiller4gods]
