Mod pack is not working unless i set it to "movie" type - any clue why?

Hi everyone

I have a pack file that is not working unless i switch it to the movie type. Has anyone else experienced this?

Movie auto loads and can cause issues with other mods, its usually used for graphics mods.

If you are having issues with mod loading, rename the table fragments.

Dresden, no matter what I do...Some of the table just doesn't load at all. How to properly rename the table fragments to make it load?

I suspect that this is also happening to some of my steam workshop mods. What im doing (in frustration) is to manually change my steam mods to movie type so they autoload. Anyone else experience this problem?

Yes, I have the same issue right now (haven't tried setting the packs to movie type, but I can't get Radious mod to load for me).

If someone finds out how to fix it, drop me a note.

Ok, if even daniu asks, I should keep my mouth shut.

But what do you mean with "not working" or "load"? Does the game crash or are parts of the changes not in game? If, then which tables are unchangeable? I changed different db tables and all work fine. Also some variantmeshdefinition changes work.

Hehe... didn't have time for a lot of debugging, and tbh I don't really know where to start either.
What I did is pretty straightforward: subscribe to Radious Mod from Workshop, start game, his main menu change doesn't show up.

I didn't check if the db changes themselves (stats or anything), just the main menu.
Game does not crash on load, it does say "(modded)" though.

Variant mods (like chaos warriors with helmets) work fine for me. What isnt working are mods that change stuff like recruitment cost and unit combat stats (bonus hit points, melee attack).

Okay so for me it seems to be an issue of whether I start Steam as a normal user (which I usually do).

When starting as Administrator, the change is applied.

I cannot understand this difficulty. At least if you did what Dresden recommended, renaming the tables. You need (at least, I needed) to rename every single db table in your separate mod pack, even if you don't change it at all, to another name than the original table has. Otherwise my game did not start. I renamed f.e. the land_units_table file "data_core" to "xy_data_core" in my mod pack and all is fine with stats changes. If that is not your problem than I don't know what's going on, must be a different one.

Yeah mine is a different issue as i have the data core changed and i still have problem with the changes taking effect.
