Getting VanillaMod to work

Hi FH. I tried everything you said in your sticky about getting VM to work but it dident how id thought. When I started the game using the bat file the game started fine but no intro movie which i thought was weired and the menu background wasent the troops walking it looked like a unit of hussars but that was a still pic. Is this normal? Dident think much about as it dident really matter but when i went to start a campaign nothing had changed.

I then uninstalled/reinstalled and extracted the files straight into the M2TW directory and everything worked fine intro movie menu background and all.

So really theres no prob at the min as after completing my first campaign i doubt il play this game again without VM

but when the update is ready will i have to uninstall/reinstall?

Sorry for the long post but im useless with anything to do with files and modding and stuff.

By the way im not using any other mods its just vanilla fully patched. I have kingdoms but after uninstalling i dident reinstall just got the patchs off it.

Hiya,

Not 100% sure what you mean.

So, after you experienced problems, you uninstalled M2TW, deleted your entire M2TW folder, reinstalled M2TW, installed patch 1.3 and then got VM0.93 and the emergency fix? (that's how it should go, if you wanted to completely reinstall, which you don't normally need to do)

Yes thats exactly what i did. I couldent get it to work in its own folder tho??

That's odd. Have you tried having a look at the other player threads and the how to get VM running thread?

Screenshots help too

Sorry if this is making no sense. What iv done is put your files straight into the M2TW directory and over written everything it asked and it works fine. What I fear is the only way to uninstall your mod would be to uninstall the whole game. Thats not a problem at the min as im happy with it the way it is but when the time comes to install your update will I have to unistall/reinstall the game then install your mod or could i just extract the files of the update into my drectory and it will over wright the files its self and work fine?
