i already made map_heights , map_regions , map_climates , map_trade_routes , map_features and disasters.tga .. only the radar maps remaining And descr_regions to

[Chlοë]

Nice work!

[Killerbee]

I have a little problem though can't seem to actually play STW ^^ Shortcut doesn't work , when i double click it , it opens up vanilla RTW :S

[Chlοë]

Is the shortcut pointing to your STW directory? Because Quetz has it set by default to C:\Program Files\Activision and some people have C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly. :hmmm:

[Killerbee]

Yea , i have already changed that , and it just shows Vanilla :S I'll try something else

great

this is the path i have for my sparta shortcut. change it according to your installation of course:
"C:\Program Files\MIKE MODS\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:SPARTA
instead of activision or the creative assembly i have created a folder called mike mods. replace it to the one you use and then copy the rest

[Killerbee]

have the exact same thing , still doesn't work :S

"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:sparta

[Killerbee]

It also does something weird . Everytime i start RTW , and then quit , there's a new map in my RTW directory called sparta (= the entrance i use in properties )

"... -mod:sparta"

When i use another ".. -mod:" directory , it makes a new file wich has the same name .

The file contains 2 other maps :

preferences and saves ..

[Agisilaos]

when i downloaded the beta, i unzipped it in my documents and then i cut the folder of sparta and pasted it in .../rome total war/"here". i renamed the folder to be called sparta and then i right click the sparta shortcut goto properties and corrected both paths. in the top path i had this:
"C:\Program Files\MIKE MODS\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:SPARTA
and the 2nd path was like that:
"C:\Program Files\MIKE MODS\Rome - Total War"
of course fix the path according to your rtw installation.
hope it will be fixed now!

[Killerbee]

So i'll tell step-by-step what i do :

1.I unzipped download in Program Files/TheCreative../RTW.

2.Then i open this file :

STW_III 1.0c

3.Then i open the "sparta" file

4.Then i copy all the files

5.Then i paste them in "STW_III 1.0c"

6.Then i rename 'STW_III 1.0c' to :

SPARTA

7.Then i change the property line to

"C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:SPARTA

This should work ?

[Agisilaos]

yes that should work. it worked for me the same way!

[Amorphos]

i hope you get it sorted ok theo, maybe add the mod to your main rtw folder then add the shortcut with ‘creative assembly’ instead of ‘activision’ in the command line.

new athenian sacred band!

*skin-flip feature* if you like the old version with three plumes on the helm, all you do is remove the semi-colon [ ; ] and add it to the line denoting the new skin.

texture seleucid, SPARTA/data/models_unit/textures/Athenian_Sacred_Band_II.TGA
;texture seleucid, SPARTA/data/models_unit/textures/Athenian_Sacred_Band.TGA

[Killerbee]

It worked !! I'll set up a new install instruction

*Mini-wave celebration in me* (friends)

Alright , i'll delete map.rwm and see if the campaign map works

Btw , i see there are still some text files to be done .. If u want , i can do those . i have edited them in Rohan-TW , and there it worked fine And i could also make some UI cards

EDIT : Here begins the "bad part" :



Should i use descr_strat and descr_regions of RS ?

PS : That Athenian dude looks great quetzl ! Expecially the Armor and shield is amazingly done !

[Mediteran]

i love the sacred band! excellent work

[Amorphos]

hi theo

great, glad you got it working ok ~ perhaps you can help me write the readme to help others with a similar install?

Btw , i see there are still some text files to be done .. If u want , i can do those .

i would very much appreciate that! the coding is killing me, i only really know skinning and adding units and a few tricks.

And i could also make some UI cards

i wish you were here a month ago, i done most of them now, but if you spot any then feel free to do them then post them in a zip as an attachment of a post, then i will add them. thanks

Should i use descr_strat and descr_regions of RS ?

be a good starting point!

PS : That Athenian dude looks great quetzl ! Expecially the Armor and shield is amazingly done !

cheers, i am glad someone noticed after all the hours it took. *snipes at other team members for not noticing!*

have fun with your map coding

new cretan archers

the old ones are still in there if strangely you prefer them.

[Killerbee]

Hey , i might just replace the coördinates instead of the whole descr_strat file , so you don't have to redo the whole file

i'll start working on the text files

EDIT : What should i change the descriptions to ?

[Amorphos]

good thinking theo!

descriptions? oh of cities and regions, are they not the same as what we need in the rs version? pm agisilaos, he can help better than i.

also there is a selection of maps of greece in the main rtw downloads section, or google them [greece at the time of thermopolae or something].

[Killerbee]

No i mean unit descriptions , i saw a description wich was used 4 times for another unit And also faction descriptions and such

[Amorphos]

faction descriptions are done ~ if you join the team you will find them in the dev forum!

i saw a description wich was used 4 times for another unit

haha is there, well i have had to do everything almost so i skimped it a bit.

latest file attached below [don’t use current as it is way behind all the units i have added since the last beta].

[Killerbee]

Alright , i saved it over my current file

EDIT : Great ! I did the whole descr_regions file , now only descr_strat remaining , but i'm waiting for that , because maybe you guys have already edited that
