Noob Question

[Breeze]

I have several mods that I just placed into my game mostly that use the --io.file_first switch in the .bat file to start the game. I have since added the real arrow mod. So now the .bat file to start the game looks like this,,,

medieval2.exe @REAL_ARROW.cfg --io.file_first

my question is all of the other mods that previously only required the first switch will they be used or do i need to place those files with subsequent copied directories into the data folder for the real arrow mod?

Moved to modding questions.

That depends. If the real arrow mod uses a mod folder (i.e. a subfolder of your mtw2 directory) you'll have to copy the relevant files to your data directory. Otherwise it should be ok.
It might be best to ask the mod creator for instructions.
