Merging mods on mod manager

[coatsey111]

Hey I was wondering any way of explaining the merge mod section abit more cause I can’t seem to get it to work at all, no Matter how little or big the amount merged constant ctd , and am I meant to take it out of the merged folder and place it in my data folder thanks .

[Shazbot]

Try version 1.26.3

[coatsey111]

Yea ive tried it with 1.26.3,exactly the same issues

[Shazbot]

ok, can you try subbing to this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1929748031 merging just that mod and running with just the new merged mod if it crashes can you upload the merged .pack and the my_mods.txt file in the WH3 steam folder

can the mod manager find the merged mod if you restart the app without you moving it to data? if it can't can you try deleting the WH3/merged folder (note that it's not in data anymore) and creating that folder manually, then try making a new merged file

[coatsey111]

Owner

The mod manager cant find the merged mod without it going to data folder ,but ill delete and try again manually adding it .

[coatsey111]

No still no luck unfortunately

[Shazbot]

ok, can you upload the merged pack with just that mod I linked above merged? and the my_mods.txt file, you can drag them as attachments

[coatsey111]

my_mods.txt

[coatsey111]

not letting me send the pack file over says dont support that file type

[Shazbot]

hm I think you can just rename .pack to .zip

[coatsey111]

merged-19-10-2022-21-45-13.zip

[coatsey111]

have another file its a json file above the pack file is that normal ?

[coatsey111]

[Shazbot]

yeah, the json file is normal

can you run the game with 0 mods activated? and if you use the WH3 launcher?

[coatsey111]

Yeah pure vanilla from warhammer launcher starts no problem

[Shazbot]

I tried with putting your merged pack in data and using it and it does work ingame for me, I checked the pack file contents and they're fine, it shouldn't crash as an incorrect pack file.

Can you check if you can run the game if you have 0 mods enabled in the mod manger. And if you have only that merged file put in data and enabled, no other mods enabled.

[coatsey111]

Yeah that worked for me

[coatsey111]

But with larger merged packs dont seem to work is there a limit or what type of mods you can merge?

[Shazbot]

If it's in data you must disable other mods that are in the merged pack since it checks the .json file to find out what mods are in the merged file. If those mods are enabled it'll crash. I think that's the problem.

[coatsey111]

No it crashes if those mods are either enabled too or disabled being just the merged mod enabled like the one i just tried

[Shazbot]

it could be it merges some mod incorrectly and the merged pack isn't correct, if you can isolate the mod that fails to merge or upload the merged file that crashes I can maybe find out why

[coatsey111]

Thats okay can you check even if its quite a big list if i upload the merged file ?

[Shazbot]

Yeah I think so

[coatsey111]

files too big dammit

[Shazbot]

ok, can you enable all the mods that you'd merge in that pack and go Other Options -> share mod list -> export to clipboard and paste that here

[coatsey111]

like that ?

[Shazbot]

can you also upload the merged pack somewhere like https://www.zippyshare.com/ ? may be easier for me

[coatsey111]

wont let me on that site for some reason

[Shazbot]

is the size of the merged pack 7,15 GB (7.681.890.859 bytes) in file properties?

[coatsey111]

yea around about that

[Shazbot]

Ok, I'll look into it but it'll take a lot of time to parse that thing. There are some things with submods that could be a culprit.

And as a note, I don't think you gain anything from merging all those packs, since you're not hitting the mod limit. If you want higher performance from data mods you can use Copy To Data every time before you start the game.

[coatsey111]

No my mod list isnt finished the one i usually use is over the limit and want to add more but cant cause of the limit that one i sent was part of my mod list

[Shazbot]

that's 105 mods enabled in the mod manager? and the game works? it's possible I have corrupted download packs, but the game crashes for me with those mods

[coatsey111]

That’s strange works no problem for me just those 105 with no merged mods included

[coatsey111]

Got it sorted thank goodness,thank you for the help appreciate it!

[Morabert]

it could be it merges some mod incorrectly and the merged pack isn't correct, if you can isolate the mod that fails to merge or upload the merged file that crashes I can maybe find out why

What would be Fantastic for doing Just Exactly that is if the Mod Manger published a Crash Log, Like with Minecraft Launchers.

[Shazbot]

such issues won't produce errors or crashes until WH3 tries to use them (and the game doesn't do useful crash logs)
