Impalator Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 After installing last game patch (0.5.3.1) my mod configuration dissapered from the Game, so i donwloaded the latest Aislain Mod from http://aslain.com/index.php?/topic/2020-0530-aslains-wows-modpack-installer-wpicture-preview-v53007-2402201, tryed to install it but nothing happened, no changes in the game. So, what am i doing wrong? Do i have to perform a clean installation of the Game? Every time that WG release a patch do i have to make a clean installation of the game in order to properly install the Mod? Sorry i`m new with this Mod thing and this is my first mod configuration after a WG patch release. Thank you. Quote Link to comment
BirdForce Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Usually you have to wait for a new version of the mod installer that will have the mods that will work with the new version.. No need to reinstall the game. Just a fresh install of the mods when the installer is updated. Quote Link to comment
Kreole Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Aslain creates the specific folder by name that WoWS will be looking for. His mod tool is written to produce a specific folder name for that WoWS (a specific) release. So no matter how many times you try to reinstall, the mod tool will create the same folder name. Since WoWS 0.5.3.1 is looking for a folder called 0.5.3.1 in res_mods for any modding, it's not finding the (now) older folder of 0.5.3. It's not as simple as renaming the folder to 0.5.3.1, although with some experimentation you can do that and WoWS will find it and some mods will work The problem with this is that if you've selected a mod that the WoWS 0.5.3.1 update breaks, the whole game tends to break. I hope that helps you understand why you are seeing what you mentioned. An additional comment... ALWAYS have Aslain's modder do a clean install. This will prevent any possible headaches by removing everything from res_mods and providing a fresh folder with data. Quote Link to comment
Impalator Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks guys for answering, new question: Would you recomend uninstall the older mod and install a new one when available? Quote Link to comment
BirdForce Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 just leave it.. and select the clean res_mods folder when you install the updated modpack.. leaving the old stuff for now should be fine.. but if you need to.. go ahead Quote Link to comment
