Basically it say's: Continuing the installation of this mod, might have desastreous consequences on your game, do you want to proceed?
Of course I did not install it, so is this normal? or I just cannot install those 2 mods together? or something else is wrong?
Thanks!
Here is a picture from the warning i get but be advise ir's in french:
Thanks again!  |
That message is telling you that a previous MOD has already made changes to the file that is listed in the warning. You have to read the "readme" files that come with the MODs to see which ones work together. And in some cases they have to be installed in a certain order.
It could be something simple that won't matter or it could cause the game to crash. It depends on which files are in the warning.
For example if I write a mod that changes the picture at the beginning of the game, and you write a mod that changes the same picture, you will get a warning that the picture has already been changed. If you install my MOD last, the game will use my picture, if you install your MOD last it will use your picture. No harm done, it will still work just a different picture. Just a simple example.
But other times it makes a big difference. Another simple example. The US Naval bases are in a file called.....US_NavalBases.mis (imagine that). So I change that file and create a new Naval Base at Darwin,Australia and add a bunch of missions form there. Then you get an idea to add a Naval Base at Sydney, Australia. So you change the US_NavalBases.mis and add Sydney. Then you put in my MOD, then when you add your MOD you will get a warning that US_NavalBases.mis has already been changed by MYMOD. If you continue and add yours the game will crash because Darwin will no longer exist because your MOD changed the US_NavalBases.mis.
So make sure you read the 'Readme.txt" file if there is one. It may tell you what mods it works with or at least what files it changes. The "major" MODs usually will tell you which other 'major' mods they work with, but nobody could possibly tell you every single one.
