Yes, I know. I installed all the patches and the add-ons as the directions stated. There are no restrictions stopping it from replacing the files. How should the file look after copying over the data? Sometimes it showed the patch inside the folder and sometimes it didn't, but this really didn't matter, it didn't change anything.
Am I just out of luck here?
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
When I try to copy the patch data folder over the over CATW folder, it creates another folder inside the data folder.
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
Can anyone please help? I have been trying to download this mod for some time now and have had no success. After I have downloaded the main file (before I add patches), I click on the CATW folder and then the icon that is labelled CATW (the icon is in fact a simple blank page, like a document icon for word, with a small arrow in the top left corner)it presents the following message: "C:\Programmes\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe The specified path does not exist Check the path then try again". This is obviously the problem. What I have done is copied the main folder, which is The Creative Assembly\Rome Total War (anthology version), and pasted it on the c drive. This has worked well with other mods, so I do not understand what I have done wrong. Can anyone offer guidance on how to correct this problem?
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
Go to your rtw folder and make a shortcut of the rtw.exe. Then add -nm -show_err -mod:catw to the end of the target line of the shortcut.
After that, are you able to install the patches correctly
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
Excellent! I discovered that the file paths were incorrect. It seems that the default settings in the properties kept on listing it as Activision software, even though my version is made by The Creative Assembly. I rewrote all the file paths according to the correct locations of the mod! It works! I'll download the patches and hopefully kill off a few million Barbarians! Thanks for the assistance!
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
OK, I got the target lines in the exe file to actually have the right location for the data. I haven't been able to actually start a game though. I get onto the main menu screen, where it says 'Menu Options Disabled. When I try to play the Roman Campaign it crashes without warning and no error message.
On the plus side the music is outstanding, especially the Conan soundtrack!
Is there some thing I need to change in the settings or preferences to enable all the options or have I still installed it wrong somehow?
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
The last option should be the correct campaign, it is called "classical campaign".
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
If you did select that, you could try re installing it and seeing if the problem persist.
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
I got it, thanks! Been playing until obscene hours in the morning! Thoroughly enjoying it! However, it won't auto-save, keep forgetting to save it manually!
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
Auto-save can corrupt your save games and ruin your campaign by crashing it. It was an unstable feature in vanilla RTW and seems to be exacerbated in mods.
Therefore it's been turned off. IIRC
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
Sorry to "bump" this, but are there anymore suggestions someone could toss my way? I've tried this so many times and I am completely lost. I am basically stuck at the base game and I can't get any of the patches to work. I've tried installing it on two different computers.
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
You are likely installing it correctly.
You are likely adding the proper target line to your shortcut incorrectly. Read over the instructions for that in the OP.
cheers
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
I've created the shortcut but when I click on it I get vanilla RTW help. Thanks in advance
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
Change target lines for corrosponding exe.
Alexander.exe (Recommended! download patch here for it.)
"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-ALX.exe" -mod:catw -show_err -nm -noalexander
RomeTW.exe
"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -nm -show_err -mod:catw
RomeTW-BI.exe
"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -mod:catw -show_err -nm
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
First post updated with Resef's patch. Thanks to him !

By base game I meant the base mod game not the base original Rome Total War. I am able to run the mod, but getting the patches to work is the problem.
I have the target line and everything else involving the base mod set up just fine.

If your overwriting things I assume you did it correctly. Why don't you try the new 1.1.5 patch? I haven't gotten to much feedback about it but I'm hoping it works for you. Report back if it doesn't and what error appeared, thanks.
OP is updated with a very important fix for the descr_strat file if you are planing on playing Bosphorus or Epirus.
Paste the file into CATW/data/world/maps/campaign/mundus_magnus
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
What it tells me is you aren't putting the files in the right places. :)
unzip the patch0.85 and then copy all the files inside of it and paste them into your CATW/data.
Re: CATW - Current Version - >>DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION<<
I don't understand. I put the file in the CATW data folder as stated by the directions.
I did unzip it and copy all the files and paste it into the catw/data. I just tried it again, but still no.
