Kanonier Reichmann Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I've just recently upgraded my CM:BN to version 1.01 with the patch but I now see that some of my precious mods aren't being loaded up such as Marco Bergmans UI mod showing basic unit penetration and protection stats and a wonderful less saturated countryside mod with grids. I don't understand why these suddenly aren't working when all we have is a patch to a new version that changed the exceutable file. These sorts of problems have never arisen in the past with the CMx1 versions of the game so why the drama's now? What can be done to get my old mods working again?

Juju Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 That UI mod should work. Did you temporarily disable/remove the 'Z' folder before patching, as advised IIRC? I did that, and I haven't had any troubles. Try removing the affected mods, start the game and close it again. And then put those mods back in the 'Z' folder. See if that works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hi Juju. Thanks for responding. I did move all the files out of the Z folder into another non CMBN folder before installing the patch but didn't remove the Z folder itself. When I moved all the mods back into the old Z folder after installation the UI & terrain mods weren't working for some reason. I guess I will simply delete the Z folder entirely and create a new one from scratch to see if that makes a difference, although I don't see how it could.

dieseltaylor Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I still have my gridded terrain and simply over-wrote the old game .... the bliss of ignorance : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoex Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, all of my mods seem to still work after the patch and I didn't remove them or anything before patching. Sorry to hear you weren't as lucky, KR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Sometimes people (I mean 'me') installs a mod then forgets to quit out and restart the game. Then I'm left staring at the screen thinking "Why didn't my mod show up?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 My Marco Bergmann mod doesn't show up anymore either My grids are still showing up! I did move everything out before installing the patch GaJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 My Marco Bergmann mod doesn't show up anymore either GaJ GreenAsJade, can you try the following: install my UI mod and see if the silhouettes show up (both our mods have those particular files). If they don't, there's a problem over at your end, if they do, the problem lies in Marco's mod itself. If the latter is the case, try re-saving some of those files so they have a more recent file date than the patch and check again. Hope this helps, Juju 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wego McPbem Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Marcos mod is working fine for me along with everything else. Didn't move anything before the patch except to install the update for jujus mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 G'day all. I've managed to get all my mods working again. What I did was delete my Z folder after moving all the mods out beforehand, then simply created the folder again and moved everything back. I'm not sure why but it seems to have worked!
