(Q) Why can't I open a new topic in the maps / mods forum?

(Q) How do I make CheatMod work with other mod X?
(A)
copy all the cheatmod files (with directory structure) from Program Files/Company of Heroes/CheatMod to Program Files/Company of Heroes/Mod_X.
add "-dev" (no quotes) to the target line in the shortcut (in case the other mod doesn't use -dev already).(Q) How do I combine two (or more) SGA packed mods?
(A)
assuming there two mods named "Mod_A" and "Mod_B", we are going to create a new mod named "Mod_C":
copy all the mod files (with directory structure) from Program Files/Company of Heroes/Mod_B and Program Files/Company of Heroes/Mod_A to Program Files/Company of Heroes/Mod_C.
if there are conflicting .sga file names, rename.
copy Mod_A.module to Mod_C.module
edit Mod_C.module in notepad:
find & replace all occurences of string "Mod_A" to "Mod_C".
under [data:common:01] and [attrib:common] add all the .sga archive references of Mod_B.
create a new shortcut to Mod_C (use -modname Mod_C, no -dev needed)(Q) I have the STEAM version of COH and I can't any of your mods to work.. What now?
(A)
you have to install the mod manually:
extract the mod archive (.zip usually) to the root directory of Company of Heroes. (for Steam this will probably be something like: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\..... )
Right click Coh in your steam MyGames list.
Hit properties
in the new box hit "set launch options".
Here you can add command lines for the startup of mods and such.
for options you should then type: -modname ModName -nomovies
(replace ModName with the actual name of .module file)
