Mod Errors

[Dertrend]

I tried to install two mod packs but I keep running into problems that I cannot overcome.  I have successfully installed OpenXcom and that works. 

I tried to install The X-COM Files and I have put it into the correct folder that the system uses in my users/documents/openxcom/mods folder.  OpenXcom can see the mod and when I try to active it in the mod screen I get an error that the mod is already in use which does not make much sense to me.

I also tried to install another mod pack called the Final Mod Pack however this would not load due to an error "Resources/FinalModPack/Weapons_Compilation/Minigun/Sounds/fire.wav:Mix_LoadWAV_RW with NULL src"

Does anyone know how to fix either of these problems as these seem to be the two big mod expansions with new content?

Thanks for any help you can give.

can you provide the log file?

This is the log information for the Final Mod Pack

This is not how a Final Mod Pack mod ID looks like... it should look like this:

Code: [Select]

[03-01-2021_21-30-35] [INFO] - final-mod-pack v2.8

Did you maybe extract it into a subdirectory?

It should be in `openxcom/mods/Final Mod Pack/` folder
without any extra subfolders between `mods` and `Final Mod Pack` folders

@Meridian - Thank you kindly sir.  You are a gentleman and a scholar.     The mod appears to fully functional!

Incidentally after my earlier failed mod attempt I took the time to play a regular veteran game as its been 2 decades since I last played.  Not a single solder made it 10 feet from the landing craft.
