Cant start the game via mod manager

[Oneeyed]

I installed a mod and the game works well if I run with via steam. But for enabling the mod I need to start mod manager and click on the Launch button.

If I do so the game wont start but crashes instantly.

How do use mods with the Definitive Edition?

There are no mods supported at all for Empire Total War which makes any attempt to make those mods hacking secure files. Discussion n this forum on Steam will just get you suspended from the forums or banned for discussing topics often deleted, topics which start arguments, and discussing violating the EULA which you agreed to and allows you to play Empire.

What? Of course there are mods. Look at TWCenter or in Moddb:

https://wiki.twcenter.net/index.php?title=Empire:_Total_War_Mods

There are really big ones like DarthMod for Empire, Imperial Splendor or Colonialism Mod.

Also there are minor ones like Minor Faction Revenge or All Factions mod.

I personally try to get the more Rebellions mod to run currently.

You can mod via mod pack files, esf-file modding and some other way I dont remember right now. But you find modding tools and so on at TWCenter or heavengames also.

Modding is allowed for Empire Total War.

Just the Mod Manager wont work properly. I guess it crashes because it tries to start the Empire.exe directly and not via Steam.

I just need to know if I can simply put mod-pack files in the data folder without doing anything else in order to load the mod-pack or if I have to do something else in addition.

Sigh... NOT an argument but rather fair warning. It has nothing to do with what is discussed elsewhere on this topic, ONLY in this forum which is Valve, Creative Assembly, and SEGA run. Steam is a game hosting site and one of the protections of the copyright owners is discussing what is breaking the game's EULA (hacking secured encrypted files, which the right to use to play does not convey the right to open) is against the rules of THIS forum.

Stop spreading fear about modding!

Modding is allowed for Empire Total War. Its an official info on the FAQ of the official website:

https://www.totalwar.com/faq/#Mods

"Can I make a mod?

Yes, and we’ve provided the modding community with a number of tools to make it easier to do so."

The modding tools for Empire Total War are from Creative Assembly themself.

So there is no hacking envolved in modding.

Also the EULA doesnt prevent you from modding.

And since you have hijacked my thread about how to exactly install mod-pack I have to open a new thread eventually. Thanks a lot :-(

Your link is irrelevant to Empire Total War. There have never been and never will be mod tools released or endorsed by Creative Assembly OR Sega for Empire.

https://www.sega.com/eula/

PLEASE feel free to actually READ the terms which allow you to access the game files of Empire to be able to play. You see, you do not OWN anything to do with ANY game hosted on steam EXCEPT the right to play or use any tools released by the maker. Modding a game specifically outside of the rights granted under the EULA is Piracy under the laws of every single nation in the world.

Please, report my comment. It is 100% factual and will NOT be deleted. Do keep in mind, even in this comment I am replying to you are stating you will even break the rules again creating duplicate posts and spamming the forum to get an answer you might like better which doesnt exist.

Please stop posting not topic relevant things in this thread or I have to report you. I was polite till now but my patience is running low.

As I said, feel free to report me. I do not personally care if you get yourself suspended or banned from this forum, but I do take exception when it is nothing more than an attempt to lure others into joining you in getting suspended or banned. As well, my only comments to you have been 100% truthful and direct responses to your post or comments to me.

So back to topic. Does anyone know how to start Empire Total War via Mod Manager?

See the difference there.
Yes, there are mods. No, they are not supported.
That is why Empire and Napoleon do not have workshops, but later titles do.
There are no OFFICIAL mods for Empire.
