Mod Manager

TOTAL WAR - MOD MANAGER

Now works for all Total War games from Empire to ATTILA!

Information
An open-source project to support a brand new iteration of Mod Manager for past, present and future Total War titles.

NEW FEATURE V2.0: New 'Game' tab, switch between and manage your mods for any TW game since Empire all in one tool.

If you have any questions, suggestions as to what you'd like to see happen with the tool or issues with Mod Manager please leave a comment here and I'll try to respond when my time permits.

Technical
- If the tools crashes, report the error. If the game crashes, it is nothing to do with the tool but is instead a problem with your mods, this tool cannot make the game crash, it is impossible for it to do so.

- If you have an error, please report it along with the error message you receive and some idea of how to reproduce the issue, this is vital so that I am able to fix any problem.

- Requires .NET framework 2.0 or later to work. (Likely already installed on almost all computers)

Source
The tool is written in C# and the source is available at the SourceForge repository.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/twmodmanager/

Source is released under a BSD 2-Clause license.

With thanks to any and all previous testers.

When starting the program.

When trying to set game directory to any path. Defaults to C: after

Thanks Mitch, i was trying to find where you put the file preferences myself and had no luck, the debug code did fix the issue now, it detects and picks up my instalation/mods. Cheers

The tool boots but cannot find my attila instalation, trying to change the path to my hard drive with it installed manually ( G:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Total War Attila\data) leads to an unhandled exception error,Object reference not set to an instance or object error.

I'll look into the issues, it's clearly an issue of game installs not being in a standard location though and/or on another drive.

If you go to this folder:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\
There should be a file called 'mod_manager_settings.txt' where you can set your game paths manually.

If the file doesn't exist you can create it and put this in it, obviously changing your paths or leaving them blank if you don't have them:

GamePath:ATW=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Attila
GamePath:R2TW=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II
GamePath:S2TW=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War SHOGUN 2
GamePath:NTW=c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\napoleon total war
GamePath:ETW=
LastGame=ATW

EDIT: A quick glance at the source code leads me to believe it might be because I left a bit of debugging code in there too... embarrassingly. So I've reuploaded MM without that now.
