    Question How to install multiple copies of RTW on same HDD

    Greetings All !

    Does anyone know how I can install multiple copies of RTW on my HD ? I'd like to install vanilla and a few other mods at the same time. Many thanks for your help !

    Make copies of your Data folder for the different mods.

    Or alternatively, save the space and use the Mod-Switcher (link in sig).

    Cool modders make their mods with the :mod command line switch
    If they don't, then Cool mod-users use the Mod Enabler (JSGME)
    Cool modders use show_err
    Cool modders use the tutorials database Cool modders check out the Welcome to the Modding Forums! thread Cool modders keep backups Cool modders help each other out

    better to make a copy of the whole RTW folder, not just data. If you only copy data you have to rename it every time you want to play a different mod (it'll read the files in the folder that is still called "data"). And the files that are not in the data folder are few in filesize compared to the data folder, so it's not like you'll be wasting much more diskspace.

    Mod-Switcher is a more elegant solution, but you have to be a little carefull with it cos if something goes wrong you still have to reinstall RTW (so keeping one extra backup folder could still be usefull)
