Okay, I have 1.03 bfme, and I downloaded Shadows of Evil and Haldir Mod, ran the installers.

I went to do a Skirmish, I get 97% loaded and I crash to desktop.

I am running no mods

But I do have a few maps.

The error that comes up is////

StringBase<char>::startswith+ox21ddbe

Module:gamedat

Runtime error.

If I recall correctly, Shadows of Evil is a compilation of Gothmog's other works, including Haldir. Mods also don't usually work togather, even if they are made by the same person. Vanilla version, which you had, could easily have been affected as it is with The Elven Alliance.

I will leave it at that. Just know that I'm not a member of the mod team and my information may have a flaw or so.

Kings of the West is the compilation mod. Shadows of Evil only affected the evil factions.

sorry, I really can't help with your problem. :p

I'm sorry for not seeing this earlier but incase you are still looking for a solution it should be as follows:

-Shadows of Evil contains my previously released evil side mods while haldir is stand alone. If you are using a vanilla version of bfme and want to combine the mods you can. I believe someone (maybe even myself) tested it and they are compatible. The catch is that when you extract the mods you need to manually combine the code from Haldir into the files in the Shadows of Evil mod. If you overwrite anything it would probably cause a game.dat error.

Also, I cannot say if they will work or not with anything else installed; even maps. But if you start with a clean vanilla version of bfme they can be combined successfully.
