    In the case of the mod you mentioned, you would go through the mod folders, changing the name of any folder named YOUR_TEMPLATE to the name of your denim template's folders, and change the name of the YOUR_ADMIN_FOLDER folder to the name of your admin folder. Then upload the folders and files according to the instructions.

    Are you saying you already have installed other mods which modify some of the same files as the Tracking mod does, or your custom template did ?

    Default Re: how to understand Override

    If you have two templates or mods that both contain an override of the same file, you will have to merge them. There is no other way to have them both work; if you were to have one override the other, the second one would not function correctly.


    To merge two customized versions of a file, you first need to identify all places where each of them differs from the original. Then you can merge the two together, bringing all custom code into the final result. If both of them modify the same line(s), you will have to understand exactly what they are doing and why in order to make a combined version. In some cases, it will not be possible to have both function at the same time.
