Generic Mod Enabler install questions?

[sandeja1]

Hi all!

This may be a "silly" question but please bear with me.

Don't know if this is the right forum or not but here goes.

I got the the "Generic Mod Enabler" installed and configured properly {I think, all the screenshots/pictures showing installation/configuration are "broken, could they be fixed?} and would like to use the "Unit Factory" graphics.

I have done do things to use the new graphics and am confused now. They are:

1. I followed the installation/configuration directions exactly (I think) by copying the folder "PzC_unitfactory_air to the "MODS" sub-directory under Panzer Corps directory. This didn't work though.

2. I made a backup of the "equipment.pzeqp" then renamed the copy (ALWAYS make a backup first as noted by several others! ) and then modified the original file (only the graphic name portion) as documented in viewtopic.php?t=31163 and it worked that way.

Am I/did I do it wrong originally or is the second way how I should implement the change I would like to make?

Sorry for the long post but this is the first game I have ever enjoyed enough that I am willing to try "modding" it.

What subfoldersfolders and files you have inside "PzC_unitfactory_air"?
Please remember that for GME to work, you need to have the folder structure after "PzC_unitfactory_air" must reproduce the original one.

For example for the units files must be copied into the folder:
MODS\PzC_unitfactory_air\Graphics\Units

bigunits:
MODS\PzC_unitfactory_air\UI\bigunits

equipment.pzq:
MODS\PzC_unitfactory_air\Data

efx.pzdat:
MODS\PzC_unitfactory_air\Graphics

I appreciate the help but I am obviously doing something wrong as I still am unable to get it to work.

After fiddling around with my "original" install since I originally posted this question and not getting it to work I un-installed and deleted all the directories/files for Panzer Corps and did a fresh installation that has been patched to version 1.22.

I have only the one mod "installed" right now: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Slitherine\Panzer Corps\MODS\PzC_unitfactory_air"

Under this directory I have: "Data", "Graphics" and "UI" (I created these myself) and then moved the files included with "PzC_unitfactory_air" into the appropriate directories.

Just to make sure that the "PzC_unitfactory_air" replicates the original structure I copied the entire folder contents of the original "Data", "Graphics" and "UI" folders to the new ones under "MODS"

I copied "equipment.pzeqb" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Slitherine\Panzer Corps\MODS\PzC_unitfactory_air\Data" (couldn't find a file called "equipment.pzq"

I copied "efx.pzdat" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Slitherine\Panzer Corps\MODS\PzC_unitfactory_air\Graphics"

I enabled the mod in JGSME but the new units don't show up in the campaign (yet). I would like to use some of the other mods as well but am not very confident that I can get them to work either.

Can you explain/help me figure out what I am doing wrong please?????

Did you start a NEW campaign ?

[sandeja1]

Sure did.

Complete un-install, reboot, re-install, patch to 1.22, started new campaign. Didn't install any of the DLC I have yet either.

I am running Win 7 64-bit if that matters.

I think it's better if you ask about your issue in the mod's thread.

[sandeja1]

Will do! Thanks
