mod there but no scenario,maps

[bairdlander2]

need help.Im useing Vista.I installed mod(commenwealth summer),copied and pasted maps in COI map folder(not sure if that is correct method).When I go quick start to game all maps are from COI,scenarios are COI,but dates are CS and units and flags CS.Also need to know what happened to vanilla COI.Wont start on quick start,goes to CS.Usually when I installed mods from other games made a copy of original.Is it the same here?Thanks in advance for any ideas,suggestions.[&:]

Did you use ModSwap to install Commonwealth Summer.. that is the correct way.

When it is installed with ModSwap you can play CS Operations and the Normandy Campaign... scroll to the bottom of the campaigns list.

The maps are included in the plugin to play the first operation of the campaign.

If you want to continue the campaign download the mappack and unzip all the maps to your maps folder


To play Stock CoI use ModSwap to uninstall Commonwealth Summer

yes I used modswap.As for the maps,copied all into map folder.Some scenarios for CS are playable,but a lot are not(stock COI maps)the dates and names of scenarios dont match(june 44 with snow map etc).Any suggestions?Download maps again maybe and put in map folder?

[Andrew Williams]

that sounds like it is correct.

play the Normandy scenarios (recommend the Villers Bocage operation)

Play the Invasion Normandy Grand campaign

ok,I uninstalled COI,when I reinstalled command centre was showing I had WF mod installed(which I did previous)When I attempt to uninstall no pop up nothing.Also the WF is highlighted blue in list of installed mods.I downloaded CS with all maps(including Longues,village etc)when I attempt to install gives me pop up WF mod is using cc3 exe path?When I go quick start regular COI starts,but in saved games all previous are there.I uninstalled though.Any advice.I realized from posts here CS was not working right because of corrupted maps,that was why I uninstalled.Also uninstalled cuz WF would not uninstall.Thanks.

OK

You have installed WF first.


You have then left modswap open and then opened a new instance of modswap and uninstalled WF

You closed Modswap  (still leaving one instance open)

CoI still thinks WF was installed.

At a lter point you installed Commonwealth Summer.


So now you have a mish mash of files installed.


THE FIX

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Close Combat\Close Combat III\instmods.ini

Open instmods.ini with notepad

Edit it to read

[InstalledMods]
[ExclusiveFiles]


and save


Re-install CoI


You should now be good to go installing any mod you want.


NOTE: You must close modswap after installing or uninstalling a mod.

opened the inimod file,deleted all there and put [InstalledMods] [ExclusiveFiles] when I tried to save got error "cannot create the C:\program files\close combat\close combat III\instmods.ini file make sure the file name and path are correct"

[Andrew Williams]

was CoI opened?

Was Modswap opened?


NOTE: You must close programs if you want to make changes

[bairdlander2]

modswap wasnt opened,had to open COI to get to instmod file.

[Andrew Williams]

You navigate to instmods.ini   using windows explorer.


You can't save it if it is being used by another program... like any windows file.

Can you copy and paste the contents of your instmods.ini  here?

found the problem,when I uninstalled some files remained so I went and deleted them from pc.going to reinstall again.
