Yup, the description from your link says:

!WARNING!
DO NOT ADD THIS MOD MID-PLAYTHROUGH. IT REQUIRES A FRESH GAME!
THIS MOD IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY MOD THAT CHANGES THE ALIEN DEPLOYMENTS!
THIS MOD IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH OPENXCOM VERSION 1.0!
THIS MOD IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH TERRAIN PACK!
DO NOT ADD THIS MOD MID-PLAYTHROUGH. IT REQUIRES A FRESH GAME!
!WARNING!

Ah, I see. I didn't check the page carefully enough it seems. Late night eyes don't read so good, I guess. Thanks.

I ask you to attach the whole log file... you ignore me.
I ask you to link the mod... you ignore me.

Why do you even ask anything here if you don't want to cooperate?

Just guessing:
- your mod is zipped using Windows default zip tool... which will not work... use any other zip tool (winzip, winrar, 7zip, any linux zip tool, etc.), all of them except for Windows default zip tool work
- your mod is zipped without its folder... which will not work... if your mod is in a folder called for example Foo, then the Foo folder needs to be inside the zip file too, not just its content

My apologies, but here's the link to one that's giving me trouble. https://mod.io/g/openxcom/m/arsenal-expanded

When I try and load it, I get this in my logfile:

can you link the mod which wasn't playing nice?

It seems that it doesn't like mods that are still zipped up, for some reason. As long as they're unzipped in their own folder, I don't seem to have issues.

One that I am unable to load is Arsenal Expander. I get this error from the log when I try.

Actually, I figured it out after searching around in the forums here. Figured out how to do the verbose log, and it seems one of the mods I'd downloaded wasn't playing nice. Once I took that zip file out of the Mods directory, it works!

OXCE Support / [Solved] Trouble installing Arsenal Expanded mod

« on: August 03, 2024, 06:45:52 pm »

Hello! I recently got back into playing XCOM, so I wanted to try this out. It installed fine, but when I go to run the game, it gives me an error. The error it throws, in the openxcom.log file, ends in this:

[ERROR]   Need correct relativePath

I used the installer .exe to install the game, and plain OpenXcom works fine, but for some reason OXE doesn't want to work for me.
