Hi guys! Community of my site (and me) has been making big fable mod (as fable conquest) since last year. But at the end we'll have to import all our mods to one game.bin, finalalbion.wad etc. And give files to users.
So I have two important questions:
- how do you make new items with holded ID of CInventoryDef? When I import our fmps, I have to change wrong ID's to right by hand. But when I install mods of...modders from here, I don't have to.
- My idea how to give our "addon" to users - it's import all our mods to one game.bin (and give it them)...But when I move game.bin into game without any mods, big part of changes disappear. Maybe it's so because I installed mods by shadownet FE?
So I hope you'll help me.

Shadownet has a feature to merge fmp's.
I suggest you try that.
But beware: large fmp's tend to crash FableExplorer.
It's like with the newitempacks I made, they take forever to load and cause some sort of memory write corruption.
So you'll have to do a lot of testing.
I tested my mod packs very thorough, and they work for me and most people, but not for everyone.
Instead of using one single fmp, you can try to use a couple like I did with the first 2 version of the modpacks.
It seems to help.
Also you can include tng's in the fmp's, but the user needs an intact finalalbion.wad, and the tng's need to be inside an fmp of course.

This should work, but of course only for stuff that's affected by the game.bin
So no textures, models, text etc. ectc.
Also I wouldn't recommend that method. And we don't allow the described method, just so you know.
this is not an exit.

I have a theory on this. The most recent NewItemPack has like four mods in it, right? If anything in the graphics overwrites, it can cause that system.exception error. Overwriting textures, corruption. So... if it were to be carefully repacked into a 2.5.1, it might work just fine.

But how did you made fable conquest? Are there any other ways to pack mods?

You could be right. But you could be wrong. So I'm not gonna do it 
Anyway I vaguely remember discussing the problem with Hunter, and he didn't have a clear answer about it either.
I think it has something to do with how FE handles the importing of new entries in general. Cause I've never seen a corrupt texture with the newitempacks.
And the weird thing is; the latest version never gave me an error. And I dare to say that I have loaded it over 20 times at least...
Those itempacks contain a huge amount of entries, I think the problem lies there somewhere.

Thing is that fmp's can work fine, and can contain almost all gamechanges you want.
So why not use it?
You have two option; create a huge fmp by hand, or try the merging - the last option can be done pretty fast.
You only need to supply the tng's separate for the people who have ripped their FinalAlbion.wad
You can include the tng's in the fmp anyway, doesn't matter if the enduser uses the FinalAlbion.wad or not
this is not an exit.
