Peculiar problem with FMP, read wiki and guides and tried several things [message #34961]

Hi, um.. I've spent the last few hours going through posts, using the search and just browsing, also reading through Wiki, but I just cant make "play as theresa" by morerunes work through the FMP, I have the correct directX, my computer meets the specifications and I have .NET 2.0

to top that I can modify things freely with Fable Explorer and they show up, most notably I changed the child hero to theresa easily, but it looks goofy as I thought it would reading from posts ^^

So.. I can modify the files myself, but I cant load an FMP and apply those changes.. I dont get an "apply changes" option from the menu in the lower left corner with the list of .bin's and .big's, my only option seems to be to either recompile or just "save mods and run".. I tried getting the FMP to work several times, and as 2.0 includes a patch, I tried the following:

- applied 2.0, ran fable through FE applying changes, then applied patch and ran again, all of this without the ripped wad files although I have no clue if that counts for anything

- applied 2.0, then the patch, ran fable through FE applying changes

- the same with ripped files and ini file changed to not use the wad file

Why can I use Fable explorer and even change things, but not use FMP files? Sad

sorry if I didnt explain the thing properly, I'm really new to this kind of thing..

you have to save changes and run for them to work Wink

p.s. thanks for your interest in my mod by the way Very Happy

but I did save changes! "Save mods and run Fable" works perfectly when I make edits myself manually, but nothing works when I load your FMP, or either one of them.. so um.. I guess I'm really an idiot, could you please tell me step by step what I have to do to get your fmp's working? the only way I know how is "Save mods and run Fable" after loading the FMP(s) (dont know if you can load more than one without saving that way every time), and that one doesnt work Sad

its obvious the program works, and "save mods and run fable" works since I already did make changes manually through FE

I hope I can get it working, your mod is the reason I got back to fable >.<

EDIT: I have tried several things now, among other things loaded the FMP's then saved changes and ran, also loading FMP's then recompiling and using those bins and bigs, it seems only manually editing works for me, FMP loading doesnt.. they dont change anything even if I go see CREATURE_HERO or whatever it is, nothing changed when I loaded FMP, so it must fail at loading somehow.. what can I do?
