It should not be necessary to change the install directory unless it shows 'MyProduct' in the path. This means that the registry entry could not be found - either the registry is faulty or you are running a 64 bit system.
The installation path has to end in the M2TW main folder (...\Medieval II Total War), nowhere else! Do not cancel the installation unless you get an error message or your hard drive light has stopped flickering – some files are very big and it might appear that the installer is frozen. If ‘MyProduct’ shows in the path, point the installer to the main directory of M2TW, not the mods directory!
Attention Steam users - this mod is steam compatible and can be started with the desktop shortcut provided you have installed the patch and quick fix summary from the second post.

My bandwidth isn't very big, it might take a while the first day or two until the download (initial seeding) is finished.
Uploading at 45 kbps...

Re: RodG 1.5 - Easy and painfree Installation
Please be patient with the initial download - right now the initial seeding is at 12% with about thirty people downloading. Don't forget it's a little over 5GB and at my ridiculously low bandwidth this will take a while.
Once the seeding is over the speed should rocket, depending on other members bandwidth.

Patch Notice - 001
While reducing and converting Kahvipannu's re-skinned settlements an error occurred with the converter which leads to a crash in siege battles. Check the second post for patch 001 to fix this issue.

I know, I feel with you guys. Just imagine how long it took me last time to upload 1.4.4 (not to count the multiple uploads because some were corrupted). :tongue:
I am going to do a reboot of my machine before I go to bed (after 22:00 here now), hopefully that will improve the speed a bit.

Re: RodG 1.5 - Easy and painfree Installation
I have one question. Is this planned to be compatible with newer versions of ReallyBadAI?
February 28, 2012, 11:23 AM
Gigantus
Re: RodG 1.5 - Easy and painfree Installation
How would I plan for that? This one has got Germanicu5's battle AI if I remember correctly.
If somebody wants to integrate the Really Bad AI then he\she is most welcome, I am just going to make sure this version runs as smooth as possible - text based sub mods are just asking for unnecessary pain, I am quite happy to leave that pain to whoever designs the sub mod.
This installation is purposely kept in a different path\folder then the original - it avoids problems and mix ups, so please keep that in mind if you are installing other stuff on top of it later.
