Elemental Forums
Quickie out there, I am sure quite a few people may know this. Is there a quicke way to return to a default installtion of Elemental? Maybe a couple folders I can delete that will rebuild the installtion ro do I have to uninstall and reinstall?
Easiest way? hit the "Use Mods" option.
As for returning to a default... this is why i keep a default backup to be copied over.
20/20 hindsight, I dont mind doing a fresh install just didnt know if there was a faster way.
Doing a fresh install won't necessarily remove any mods (neither will deselecting use mods, if people have overwritten core files or graphics).
First, go to your install dir and delete the /Mods/ folder.
Then go to c:\users\your_username\my documents\my games\elemental\ and open each of the folders and delete everything inside
Some people may have put assets in the /gfx/ folder in your install dir as well, so while you're at it, delete that folder too
Then open impulse and shift-rightclick on elemental and select "verify installation". when it says there's an update, download the update.
edit: if you're just looking to disable all the mods and play vanilla, the simplest way would be to de-select "use mods", then verify the integrity of the installation. There might be mod files left in your install dir, but they won't affect anything.
Of all the mistakes with this game the lack of a mod manager could be the biggest.
