Thread: Res Gestae v3.1 full install (Released)

  1. #1

    Default Res Gestae v3.1 full install (Released)



    Finally, a new version of the mod is here. Special thanks must go to Florin for his hard work on it and Bladerunner, who has fixed several model issues and allowed us to recover the great Macedonian Companion Cavalryman that you can see above.

    Warning 1: This is a full install of the mod. So it is only intended for players that do not have version 3.0. People who have the mod already installed on their computer must only download and install the patch, that is featured in this thread:
    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=211377

    Warning 2: There are two versions of the installer: the one made by Hip, which is fully automatized and the one made by me, which requires some modification of the game's shortcut after the install is finished.

    FULL INSTALLER VERSION BY HIP63

    1. Download the mod from:

    http://www.megaupload.com/es/?d=UMUAGY5R

    2. Run the installer

    3. Once it asks you the destination of the install, browse your computer to a non-modded RTW folder, with the game patched to the 1.5. version. The most usual destination is "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War" although you might have a different path.

    That is all! Enjoy the mod.

    FULL INSTALLER VERSION BY SALVOR HARDIN

    1. Download the mod from:

    http://www.megaupload.com/es/?d=KUWCKMN6

    2. Run the installer

    3. Once it asks you the destination of the install, browse your computer to a non-modded RTW folder, with the game patched to the 1.5. version. The most usual destination is "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War" although you might have a different path.

    4. The mod will create a RG subfolder in your RTW install and a shortcut to the mod in your desktop. After the install is finished, you must make a small change to the shortcut of the mod that will appear on your desktop. There are two files in your RG folder that explain what you must do. The files are in .doc and .pdf format and are named "shortcut modification-very important before playing"

    Basically, the issue with the desktop shortcut is due to my lack of ability with installers. The fix, to summarize it, only requires to delete the words \RG in both the destination and the target of the shortcut.

    Now, what is new in this version:

    Added slave resource to descr_strat done by Florin

    New climates and map textures by Uranos

    Added more AOR units (cavalry and archers) to Sicily, Greece, North Africa and the East

    Added full armies recruitment to: Gauls, Germans, Carthage, Macedon, Egypt and Seleucids

    Fix pedites and equites extraordinarii recruitment

    Fix incorrect paths and add missing textures for Roman Samnites, Messagetae Lancers and Pontic chariots

    Minor fixes to Night Raiders, Mori Gaesum and Parthian Cataphracts

    Added new Companion Cavalry by Bladerunner and new Spartan Hoplite by Caius Britannicus.

    Expanded family trees in order to avoid faction extinction

    Changed Brutii to Valerii (names)

    Help for the Brutii (Valerii) when AI controlled

    Reduced Spain and increase Carthage in Spain when AI controlled

    Toned down Pontus, Egypt and Sparta

    Toned up Seleucids and Macedon

    Hope you enjoy the mod!

    Good work Salvor and Florin. I'm downloading the full installer now. I've been itching for a new RTW experience, and now that Empire has been post-poned, this comes at a good time. :-)

    Would you guys like me to rebuild the 3.1 installer so it will automatically create a proper shortcut?

    I'm out of town today but will be home tomorrow and I'm pretty sure have all my build files from v3.0 installer so it would not be great effort on my part. Could probably have it uploaded by next week or possible this weekend.

    That is a very kind offer from you, Hip. I will send you a PM with the details.

    And thanks everybody for the warm welcome to this new (and hopefully) final version of the mod.

    Version 2.0. was not modfoldered. Perhaps that was the reason?

    No, the 3.1 tried to overwrite my skins and models folder. I'll just backup and try again.

    IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!

    I have discovered a bug in my installer's uninstall routine!

    If you use the uninstaller to uninstall the RES GESTAE mod, it will delete your RomeTW.exe!

    I VERY SORRY ABOUT THAT! I have corrected the issue in a new installer but I am currently way from any high-speed internet access ATM so it may be a little while before I can get the new installer uploaded.

    IN THE MEAN TIME:
    There are two ways to work around this issue.

    Work Around 1. Manually delete the RG folder from your RTW folder and manually delete the shortcuts.

    Work Around 2. Make a back-up of your RomeTW.exe file. Once you have the back-up, uninstall Res Gestae using the uninstaller and then simply replace the missing RomeTW.exe file with the back-up you made.

    There is a third option too, never uninstall RG and play it until you die, LOL

    AND PLEASE don't let this stop any of you from enjoying this fine Mod!

    Again, I'm very sorry for this oversight and hope I have not caused anyone any undue stress.

    A corrected version of the installer can be found here:

    Just one word...FANTASTIC!
    I love the three faction system with senat missions of the vanilla rtw and i dont like these overtuned, "give me moooore realism", huge mods like EB (got no rtw atmosphere anymore for me). U did a great work! Epic battles since round 1 and much fun! That how rtw should be for me! Thank u
