TE 5.1 + BI Features: Solvo Populus Add-On

[shadowdrummer46]

Well I know this Thread might not be frequented much, but im having the exact same issues as Rory.

I install everything for TE 5.1 then unzip SP to my Steam/steamapps/common/rometotalwargold, and when i click on TESP_instalprep.bat it brings up the cmd window for a second then closes.

I have steam so i dont know if that causes problems because when I try to make a shortcut using the .ico it says connot find steam and opens steam on a webpage. I can get TE 5.1 with the Ferres Roman unit skins mod to play, but I feel like im missing out with some of the BI features not included.

If anyone could help me figure this out id be in debt forever. I really like TE but this mod looks like it could possibly make it better.

Thanks in advance!!

Steam oh not sure on this dude. That way I am clueless on. Do you have to have steam???? The game instal,will run to a different directory by default,ie the normal c/program files/activision/RTW file etc...,but steam is a different directory. This is what I think is happening. I do not have TE 5 installed to check,as I use mod foldered TE Gold,if try SP it will override my RTW game and I have other mods in use so will wreck them. SP is a cool game,but not mod foldered,a pity.

Yea thats what I was thinking, some files might try to look for a directory thats not in the right place. I also changed the install directory to where my copy of Rome is and still no luck

I just gave up and am downloading gold with the fixes you can download. EDIT: Gold 0.7 wont run through steam either

And yea, Steam is a videogame Stalin. All games bought through Steam must run through Steam and aren't allowed to leave.

haha

I have no experience with steam, and do not plan to get involved with it.. sorry guys.

As for the UI, there is a MOD_1.pak that can be downloaded separately, mentioned in the OP.

Steam....O Steam.....

It cool to be able to shift tab and talk to friends and browse the internet in game; even though a good ole' alt+tab does the same (minus the chatting and friends list).

It managed to pull me in because of the cheap games i.e. Rome Gold for 9.99usd. Making it mandatory for Empire kinda solidified the deal. Its a love hate thing. lol

Agh so your vanilla game is via Steam,and mods have to use a steam directory to work,sheesh. I think it better to get RTW seperate,still cheap ie E-bay etc. Otherwise you are hampered by steam. Hmm Brusilov is best sorting this out. Try RTW technical forum.

Thanks for the advice ill check over there.

This should fix the CTD some people get when sacking a settlement:

Ok, I think I've found basis of problem, it is to do with the information text and graphics the game is trying to call when you sack settlement, these files exist in both BI and RTW but in RTW you are missing settlement_razed event.

In data/descr_event_enums.txt you are missing "settlement_razed" and in data/descr_event_images.txt you are missing

settlement_razed

Some Bugs To Report:

-After a end of a turn, on the Diplomacy report thingy Dacia's icon is the Swimming icon

To fix this, change Dacia's small_logo_index from 263 to 264 in descr_sm_factions.txt.

Any way you can update this to work for steam, as is it won't work at all, would really appreciate it, thank you in advance.

Simply change the directory in you're setup application to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\rome total war gold\data, should be extremely simple.

Hi, does anyone have a working download link?
Thanks

well, when I double-click on TESP_Installprep.bat, it opens command prompt for a second and then it closes. I checked whether I put it in a wrong directory, but I'm sure I have it in the correct one (in the RTW root folder, amirite?).

and then I tried opening the bat file in notepad and what I saw is just this line "del "Data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\map.rwm". is this the problem? or maybe it is something else?
