Can't install mods - WHY?

Post by P4NZ3RG3N3R4L »

Hi there,

for the first time I tried to install mods (PGII, Gran Campaign, The War Continues, Storm Over Europe) after finishing AO1943 in Panzercorps 2.
I created a file "Mods" and "Campaigns" in the games directory as described in the modding guides and pasted the unzipped and copied mod files there, but I can't find the mods inside the mod menu when the game is started. Also not in: New Game --> Campaigns.

I always get the popup-message: "Failed to load Plugin" - "File does not have a valid 'FileVersion' number... PGII/GrandCampaign/TheWarContinues/StormOverEurope.uplugin"

What am I doing wrong? Or is it not possible to install mods in PC2 anymore?
Installing and deinstalling mods in PC1 was much easier with the Generic Mod Enabler back then.
Help would be appreciated. :D

the mods need to be placed here:

...\Documents\My games\Panzer Corps 2

create a folder called "Mods" in this directory and place them in there. whoever told u to do campaigns as well lied.

alternative use steamworkshop one-click-install.

sers,
Thomas

Ah! THAT was the mistake! Not the games directory, but the documents directory!!
Thanks Thomas!
