Released Mods / Re: [COMPILATION] Final Mod Pack (FMP)

@   jackts

I'm currently having the same issue with the Final Mod Pack.
I started a topic about it but have yet to receive any usable solutions.

I have reinstalled both the original xcom from steam and also Open Xcom but it dosent show in my mods list either.

I'm not sure what exactly solved it for me but I can give you the steps I took:

-Uninstall Xcom and Openxcom, search your C: drive (or wherever you installed) for "openxcom" and delete anything you find. Make sure you delete the openxcom files in your appdata folder. If you haven't done so already reveal the appdata folder (google this if needed) it's hidden by default. Skip anything it won't let you delete.

-Install the latest nightly of openxcom with the install executable. When it asks for the install location, place it in "my documents".

-Launch the game to the main menu then close it.

-Extract the mod pack folder to the "mods" folder in the openxcom folder in my documents.

-Launch the game. If it worked it will be at the very bottom of the list of mods in the game settings.

The only differences between this and every other install I tried.
- Installing openxcom to My Documents.
- Clearing all the appdata folders.
- Adding the mod before fiddling with any settings or config stuff.

Good luck

A complete reinstall, making sure to clear all openxcom files on my C drive, sorted it.
I deleted the obvious stuff last time but there was some stuff hiding in my app data after the uninstall.
I also made sure to add and check the mod this time before touching the openxcom options and config, but that's probably irrelevant.

IvanDogovich's video was one of the videos I troubleshooted with, but considering his instructions are literally:
-Run the install.exe
-Extract the pack to the mods folder
I doubt I got it wrong before checking it.

My best guess is that the problem was not cleaning up properly after the milestone uninstall.

Thanks for your help.

Never had problems installing a mod before. Can't get this pack to appear in the in game options menu.

Tried the Milestone, tried the latest nightly, reinstalled Openxcom, reinstalled UFO defense. Cannot get it to appear.
Everything else works fine and the mod pack is happily sitting in my mods folder of my Openxcom folder in my documents.

Any common issues that cause this? This pack not work past a certain build? I remember the main page saying it works past a certain 2015 build.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I can't find anywhere else, I've tried every guide and tutorial which all just translate to "Put in mods folder". I've been fiddling for two hours at this point.
