Sweet Thank you soo much!

from one of my posts in the mod updater thread

the mod updater 1.1 WILL UPDATE mods inplace ie will update all mods from mods-entrenchment v1.01 or mods-entrenchment v1.02 to the mods-entrenchment v1.03 folder and also from mods-v1.15 and mods-v1.16 to mods-v1.17 folders ie the WORKING mods folders older versions to the current version.

the plain english instructions for the mod updater are

1 have the mods in the folders where they work from older versions of sins/entrenchment

2 have updated sins/entrenchment

3 extract utility pack to a folder on computer

4 in said folder doubleclick on sins mod updater

5 in mod updater navigate into the folder that contains the mods that you want to update eg mods-entrenchment v1.02

6 click on the button 'set source to copy from'(by the way the program uses this path to determine WHICH of the convertdata's to use for updating the mods from as each of the convertdata's will only work on files processed with that version)

the button caption will change to the path that you had selected is step 5

a new folder browser window will open on the right which will default to the current version mods folder

7 in the destination folder view select the desired destination folder( it defaults to the current version for the expansion)

8 click on 'set destination to copy to'

the button caption will change to the destination folder

9 click on the button 'copy and update the entity files'

the program will now copy ALL THE FILES and FOLDERS in the path if they do not exist, and check whether the file is txt or bin if bin converts it to txt using the convertdata from the earlier version, then checks the entity file to see if it needs updating, updates it, then if the original was bin it then converts it BACK to bin with the later convertdata, reporting on the files copied, the files updated, and the files that would NOT convert to txt for updating

10 click either on the reset the settings button if you have mods in another sins/entrenchment version that you want to update OR the EXIT button

admittedly this was from page 4, but steps 5-10 are given on the program.

harpo

yeah forums lagged and it double posted

Thanks for the guide harpo, but i have one last question. I did a fresh install so i dont have the old folder. What should i do in that case?

ugh another problem.... whenever i do the steps in the guide i get a run time error when i click "Set source to copy from."

any idea what could be wrong?

yes, and right after i do i hit "Set source to copy from.". 

When i do i get the:  Run time Error '76':

                                Path not found                        Error.
