[?] Patch 1.2 vs mods vs noob

LeBabouin · 05-13-10, 03:19 PM

I think I did a big mess

I didn't remove the mods I had and let the patch install itself and then I removed the mods thru JSGME (most of them were no longer effective in game but still in the JSGME right hand panel).
I'm afraid removing the mods removed many files installed by the patch. Im I right ? Should I reinstall ?

When you've reinstalled, its worth making a copy of the Dtat directory.
That way if any thing gets messed up, you can just copy the contents of the copied dir into the Original Data dir and overwrite the contents.
Gets you back to a working install without re-installing.

Thanks for your answers

and vital advice!
Was dreaming JSGME had some file versioning feature. Does that mean that if I reinstall the previous mods, based on 1.1 files, upon reinstalled and patched game, I will loose the update of the patched files ? ie any mod which files have been overwrited by 1.2 is now unusable untill they are merged with their corresponding 1.2 files ?

Depends on the mod. Most graphics mods are unaffected for the most part. Others might work since none of their files were affected. Some might still work, but parts of the 1.2 patch might not since new things were added by mods using older files. Just watch this forum to see when your favorite mods are declared compatible or get updated.
