MedManager - M2TW Mod Manager

[undercovergeek]

hi, could you offer any help with the anno domini mod using medmanager - both youre program and that mod look amazing just needing a bit of help!! i do everything you suggest in the forum and start with the shortcut - i cannot continue my previous game so i assume its half working, the pictures on the load screen arent there so again i assume its kind of working, but when i start a new campaign its just the vanilla map

Great program! Thanks for the effort.

Sorry to be such a newb but I can not get MedManager to launch. I get the "encountered a problem and must close" message every time I run it.
My other computer runs it no problem but it doesn't have MTW2 installed.

I'm using WinXP Media Ed on the problem computer with all the possible updates from Microsoft I could get (through Auto Update).

Any help would be great. I can also post the error report if that would help.

thanks

Are you using MedManager 1.0.0.6?

Yes, error report would help. I assume the error occurs when MedManager is starting.

[Patton]

Thank you.
I needed this.

Yes, error report would help. I assume the error occurs when MedManager is starting.

That is correct. It's odd and Im sure something stupid I've done. I've attached the summary. Not sure how to attach the whole report, the one that gets sent to Microsoft.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

The error report says you are using MedManager 1.0.0.5. The latest version (in the first post in this thread) is 1.0.0.6. Please download 1.0.0.6 and try again. I do not think this will fix your problem, but 1.0.0.6 has more error reporting when MedManager launches. Post any error that it reports.

Thanks.

[blakwat]

Will do.

Cheers

Do you have to uninstall an older version, or can you just install the new version over the old version? Thanks.

Best to uninstall it first - only takes a minute.

The first mod i made with this worked fine, all the changes were there, but when i tried to fight battles the game gave error message. I reinstalled M2, patched to 1.1 and built a mod with same files but didnt change anything, encountered the same problem. Any idea where i went wrong (im guessing some simple thing i forgot)

Do you get a CTD if you play without a mod?

I don't think I'll be able to help much because it is either a problem with your vanilla installation or how you have modded it.

[thaurn]

Clean installation after an uninstall of m2. CTD? Unsure what you mean by vanilla installation. Played v1.0 no prob getting to battle map, played v1.1 and also had no difficulty getting to battle map. Only after i made a mod (with no changed files in mod) did i encounter a problem with battle map only.
The game ran fine, with mods, after the first installation for 50 turns, untill the first time i went to the battle map. thanks for your replys, your support is appreciated.
