No CD check not working
sara_dippity:
Okay, I tried to install AwesomeMod with the no-cd option before and couldn't get it to work so I just quietly gave up. Well now I want it again because of all the cd swapping my son is starting to do. I tried using helpermonkey and I tried using the framework. I moved the file around into different folders. Nope. Other parts of the mod will work. I have my shortcut set to the exe. What happens is the game loads, and then instead of letting me select a neighborhood, I get an error that no cd is found and "retry" or "cancel".
If this has been addressed, I can't seem to find it searching for disk or cd. One of the reasons I gave up in the past was I figured it was something that would be sorted out with time, but apparently it's just me with the issue.

AwesomeMod with the no-cd option
Just to be sure: The default option for that AwesomeMod field disables the no-CD check; changing the configuration field for that to "Disabled" would, in fact, re-enable the check. You say that the other features of AwesomeMod work, and the way you worded that sentence makes me think you might have changed an option in an attempt to 'disable' it. Otherwise, I've got no ideas. Sorry.

You have to make sure the "No CD" check option is enabled correctly in the configuration file, which you can create via a link on the same page as the AwesomeMod download. Do you have both the AwesomeMod file and the file called Aweconfig?

Ah I see logic has failed me again. I did think that "disabled" meant that the cd check was disabled. I have the fail.
J. M. Pescado:
There's a very simple convention to all AwesomeMod options: "Enabled" enables a behavior that differs from the default. "Disabled" turns off an optional change. Since NoCD is not the default behavior, the option to "Enable" NoCD thus alters the behavior, and Disabling it returns the system to default behavior.
