Compatibility with other mods FMOD.dll

[Lethal8472]

After downloading the FMOD file from this site and installing it, ESF 1.2 worked fine. However, I have a mod called Sven-Coop, and when I try to play it, it gives me the same error I first got with ESF about not being able to open client.dll. To remedy this, i keep two versions of FMOD in My Documents, the one I downloaded for ESF and the one that came with Sven. If I want to play one mod, i copy the appropriate FMOD over to the half-life steam folder and play it. However, I dont want to keep copying FMOD's over every time I want to play a different mod. What else could I do?

Thats because some mods work differently with the fmod.dll, NS and Sven work differently...

No other way then to keep doing it.

SC and NS had problems together but SC made a batch file that switched between the 2 versions of the Fmod.dll

yeah its so simple like:
the batch file(*.bat extension file) should look like that:
(first of all make a folder named temp with the fmods of esf and the origianl one!)
-=WON=-

(for esf)

copy C:\temp\fmod_esf.dll C:\Sierra\Half-Life\
del C:\Sierra\Half-Life\fmod.dll
rename C:\temp\fmod_esf.dll fmod.dll
C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -game esf

(for any other mod)

copy C:\temp\fmod_original.dll C:\Sierra\Half-Life\
del C:\Sierra\Half-Life\fmod.dll
rename C:\temp\fmod_original.dll fmod.dll
C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -game "MOD_NAME"

pretty simple is it not?

(edit: make sure you really copy the 2 versions of the fmod
so that that .bat file wont del the fmod for nothing and then you will stay with no fmods lol)
