Mixu's unlocker+ doesn't work

[BloodBuster]

hey
I am now really trying to bring the mod Mixu's unlocker and mixu's unlocker unlocked to work but it just doesn't want to happen...
I tried to reinstall the mods, only having these 2 mods and deinstalled all other mods and i also reinstalled my game but in the end all didnt help...

Does anyone has the same problem and has a solution to this problem?
I would be thankful for any help.

Thanks alot.

What makes you say they're not working?

[BloodBuster]

They just dont show up when i enable the mods...
my brother and I had the same mods enabled and on his pc they work and on mine they dont but like 3 months ago they worked for me...

[Elitewrecker PT]

So, with both mods, you're only seeing the default factions available?
Tried checking the workshop folder after unsubscribing to make sure there's nothing bugged leftover and then resubscribing?

[BloodBuster]

yeah with the mods i only see the default factions and no others...
i checked it and they were removed before i reinstalled the mods and it didnt help...

[titanopteryx]

In a past update they changed the location that mods are stored. It used to be the datas folder within the main game folder. When they moved the location, they didn't remove the mods from the data folder. And the mods in the data folder overide the ones in the new location. So check the data folder and remove it from there.

Next, Mixus unlocker doesn't add new factions. It allows new factions added by other mods to appear. Like the mod Legendary Lords. Make sure you have the mod that adds a new faction installed along with the unlocker.

Regarding unlocker unlocked, it does have mixu's unlocker as a required mod. Make sure both are enabled. If you have both enabled, it may be a load order issue. Make sure unlocker unlocked is lower in the load order. If that is the case, you may have a conflicting mod that also edits startpos.

Also make sure the mods are enabled in the mod manager.

when i open the folder there are many folders in that order:

data
EmptySteamDepot
laucher

and after that there are some other .dll or .txt datas:

amd_ags_x64.dll
cacert.pem
d3dcompiler_47.dll
libeay32.dll
lua_mod_log.txt
ssleay32.dll
steam_api64.dll
used_mods.txt
Warhammer2.exe

This is how my total war Warhammer 2 folder looks like.
Where are the mods folder there? because when i open the folder i cant find them...


I just use the mixu unlocker and the mixu unlocker unlocked. is that right? because my brother also used them andhe can play all faction and i can only play the default ones...


and yes i have the mods in order, first i have mixu unlocker and then moxu unlocker unlocked.

Local mods are in the data folder, workshop mods in the steam folder.
Very likely a mod load order conflict. Unlocker unlocked is likely a startpos mod as well and should be placed above mixus then unless otherwise stated.

Make also sure that you don't have other startpos mods or at least that they are lower in priority. I recommend kaedrins mod manager for that btw.

[DasaKamov]

Also, use Kaedrins Mod Manager, not the in-game loader (never use the in-game mod loader).

I'm using all of Mixu's LL packs and they work just fine.

Under Steam > steamapps > workshop there are some fills which changes when i unsubcribe and subscribe like this one: appworkshop_364360.acf
But i dont have any startpos data in that folder.

In the Workshop folder there is the temp and the download folder which are emptsy and there is a content folder which contains some other radnom numbers folder.....

and in the data folder there are no mods. But under campaign there is 1 startpos data in main_warhammer and one in wh2_main_great_vortex.

but i feel like something is missing in the workshop folder right?

And the order in the mod manager is 1. mixu unlocker and 2. mixu unlocker unlocked.

You won't find the startpos.esf in the folders, all relevant mod files are within the .pack files, including the startpos.esf.
If you don't have too many mods, you can download both kaedrins mod manager (https://github.com/Kaedrin/warhammer-mod-manager) and the Pack File Manager (I recommend Rusted variant, it is far superior and much more accessible: https://github.com/Kaedrin/warhammer-mod-manager).

Kaedrins MM allows you both to show the contents of the Mod Packs without having to open them (right click -> show contents) as well as quickly opening them with the Pack File Manager (PFM).
Startposition files are always in campaigns\main_warhammer and campaigns\ wh2_main_great_vortex. So go through your mods with Kaedrins MM and show contents, usually those should be the top 2 entries if the mod has an included startpos.esf.

Or if in doubt open with the PFM and check manually, this also works, same folder structure as above.

You need to look in Content - 594570 (which is WH2's appid) and make sure you don't have leftover files from Mixu's mods (ids 1727923164 and 1863192072) when you unsubscribe.

When i unsubscirbe there are no leftovers there, but there is one folder 1399787504 with a TotalWarModManager.zip data in it.

thank you. now i know where these datas are.

[BloodBuster]

in this TotalWarModManager.zip is the kaedrin mod manager which i am now using. but when i enable the mods mixu startpos.pack and mixu_unlocker_enabler.pack and press launch. Then a message comes with:

Unable to initialize SteamAPI.
Please make sure Steam is running and you are logged in to an account entitled to the game.

Idk i am already doing that...

[Elitewrecker PT]

Are you trying to run it from where you found it?
You need to place it somewhere else OTHER than any Steam related older (usually desktop or documents).
