Sometimes it would be necessary or just handy to have Multiple copies of Config manager installed. Some examples are listed below.


*You have more than one Close Combat game installed on your system. 

  ie; Close Combat II and Close Combat III

**YOU CANNOT have Zeppo's Configuration Manager for one CC game, installed in the same directory as a Configuration Manager for one of the other CC games. They have to be separated. One of the reasons for this is because inside each copy of Configuration Manager, whether it be for CC2 or CC5, theres a folder named "Plugins",  this is obviously where the plugins are stored. And obviously you cant use CC5 mods with CC2, nor does the config manager for CC5 work with CC2. Just take my word for it, they have to be separated.  :)

Another example is;

*You have a ton of map plugins for Close Combat II and would like to separate them from your mods for ease in finding the right plugin.


If you installed the configuration managers using the self installers I made, then it placed them in the following directories, and are thus separate, and fully functional.

CCII Config Manager = C:\Program Files\Zeppo\CCII

CCIII Config Manager = C:\Program Files\Zeppo\CCIII

CCIV Config Manager = C:\Program Files\Zeppo\CCIV

CCV Config Manager = C:\Program Files\Zeppo\CCV

And your Tree should look something like this...

Now if you installed the Configuration Managers manually, you will need to make those folders and place the correct Configuration Manager and its components in the correct folder, then redirect any shortcuts. Windows automatically redirects shortcuts for you when you use them. If it doesn't, just delete the shortcut and make a new one.


*In the example I used above, with using one Configuration Manager for Maps, and one for Mods, you will need to make 2 directories inside your "Zeppo\CCII" folder, one named Maps, and another named Mods.

Then place a copy of the Configuration Manager and its components in each folder.

Install any map plugins to the "C:\Program Files\Zeppo\CCII\Maps\Plugins" folder

likewise, install any mods to the "C:\Program Files\Zeppo\CCII\Mods\Plugins" folder

Now this is not necessary at all, I use this system just for ease. I have over 20 maps I've made into plugin form, and its just easier to separate them, rather than thumb through 15 mods, and 20 maps to find anything. Its totally up to you, I'm merely pointing out one way to organize them.
