Sorting pack priorities?

[PROMETHEUS ts]

How does the game sort priorities in packs that changes for example the same files?

Wich onw will override the other ? or it will simply crash the game?

Assuming the basic setup is the same as Shogun 2 here (because I haven't got past investigations yet), there are two different ways

Mod type packs:
User\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Rome2\scripts\user.script.txt
entry:

mod mymod.pack

Only packs mentioned in the above file will be used, even if they are in the data directory. They will be loaded in the order mentioned in the script, with any conflicts being overwritten by each new pack.

Movie type packs:
Will be automatically grabbed by the game if they are in the data directory. User has no control over order they are loaded. Same as above, last loaded will overwrite previous data.

You can set the pack type in PFM when you're making your mod. It is highly recommended that mod type packs are used due to dependencies and the lack of overwrite control with movie

Actually, for movie packs you can set them in the order that you want them to override each other. For example, I am using Magnar's Mod, but I also wanted no special abilities, and 1 turn construction/research. Because they are all movie packs, I renamed them MOD1_x MOD2_y MOD3_z. They have to be in the reverse order that you want them to load. For me Magnar is MOD3 so that the other two mods will overwrite his updates with regard to special abilities and construction/research times.

so if I call my mod AAAAAAAA_mod it will load befoure all others?
