Look here regarding problems getting VanillaMod to work or to verify installation

Possibly, but currently focussing on that mainly.
If you have something to suggest though, please do let me know in the Suggestions thread.

ok guys, mod sounds good, im givin it a shot.
it took me a little longer than i thought it would to get all the files in the right places.
i had to pull the .bat file out of the vanillamod folder, and put it into the main one(!?)
thats what the picture shows, and the only way i got it to work. i just think you could have made it more clear in your step-by-step directions, if that is infact what was supposed to be done.
anyways, thanks for the mod.

Just as an FYI, so that I can keep using my normal config file I've made a couple small tweaks to the VanillaMod.bat that you may find interesting.

First I created a little file called VanillaMod.Hdr.
This file has only the following in in;
[features]
mod=TestMod

Second, I changed the VanillaMod.bat file as follows; I added
copy TestMod.hdr+medieval2.preference.cfg VanillaMod.cfg
before medieval2.exe @VanillaMod.cfg


This means any change to the existing preferences gets carried over.

I just figure that anyone who's interested will find this handy.

Very good find, I wasn't sure how to add a header, thanks
