Lee1952 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Just curious as to what happens to my Z folder full on mods when I add the Commonwealth expansion. Will they still function? Or god forbid, will I need to delete them before installing the expansion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I don't know, but to be safe you could make a copy of your Z folder and then restore it if the module somehow messes it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I seem to recall that we were warned that "might" happen when installing CMSF modules, so the advice was what Pvt. Ryan said. Back it up just in case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Not sure about everyone else but I will be installing the base game into a new directory and then adding the module to it. I will be doing that because I have 5 PBEM games currently on the go that I will play using my current install. Yes, over time I will negotiate with my opponents to convert over to the new version but there is always one that does not want to and another one that will not convert. That is what happened with the patch (most opponents and games converted no problem). So, given that I will keep my current install (with all my mods) intact and then create a new install for the CW module. What I plan to do is make sure everything works sans mods. Then I will copy the various mods over a few at a time and verify that they still work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Bergman Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Pretty much the only mods that will cause a conflict ( and sometimes a crash ) are mods that change strings.txt The most obvious example of this is the Vinart animated text mod. Remove this mod before installing either Commonwealth module or v1.10 patch, and load the new version when it's issued. My Commonwealth module is running quite happily with all my mods and several others just left in the z folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faelwolf Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Backups are not just a good idea for your Z folder. Back up all your data regularly. Lesson learned the hard way a few years ago. Re-installing software is a snap compared to recollecting data, some of which can never be replaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
