Ok, now I'm really scratching my head. Completely uninstalled the mod, reinstalled the newer mod pack.....and nothing. I tired other mods and same result. I then tried it to another wows directory that was from another installation from a server mod. and then the mod works. Some how the name of my main directory changed to the name of the outdated directory I have never used since like July 2018. I have frequently almost daily used the same wows directory for all mods and flag customizing. Even made short cuts to that directory since I was in it almost daily. So how it happened no clue, this is very odd but hey it works. thanks again for a great mod pack
