[RELEASE] Westeros: Total War v0.53

[Darkstar]

It's Vista 64bit.

Do you have any experience viewing or editing the registry? If so, can you search for where these keys are stored in Vista?

[Stormraider]

I knew a bit with XP. I'm pretty much a newcomer to Vista though as I only updated in November. I've seen a few different ways to make Mods work using Steam's Launch Preferences menu, but all of those crash my game.

Nominally, if this worked, where would I see Westeros? In the DropDown "Play" Menu alongside Crusade, Teutonic, MTW2, etc?

Yes that's correct. If you can find those entries in the registry, just make a similar one that points the Westeros folder and cfg file.

[Stormraider]

Alright, I'll try to find those then. VISTA's reg I'm really unsure of.

[Stormraider]

Yah I cannot find the Vist Reg for it.

Stormraider...

I found an alternate install method for Steam from another mod. Try following the steps in this post:

Please report back and let me know if it works. If so, I'll re-write the instructions to be Westeros specific and include them here.

Any luck with sound issue?

Any luck with sound issue?

I have campaign sounds but no music. When I extract the sound files. I think the sound files we included are empty. Maybe try deleting them (make a backup first) and see if the game will use the vanilla sounds.

They are located in the medieval ii total war\mods\Westeros\data\sounds folder.

Any new about a fix for the non-english version?

[VonLowe]

Did we have sound/music in last westerous release I want to say we did

[stormbringer951]

Nope. BattleDrumz hasn't done it yet (dunno if he's still working on it).

[Stormraider]

I've managed to make it work with Steam by renaming a campaign (Americas) to something else and calling Westeros Americas. Works like a charm.

Good to know

I quite like the idea, should be interesting to get hold of the literature.

You might want to polish your map a little bit. See attachments.

Thanks for the suggestion gigantus. I'm not much of a mapper but planning on delving into it soon. Is this the best technique for smoothing the coastlines?

[Gigantus]

That is the technique I used for that stretch of coast. And a little intuition.

I never realized how tedious mapping was!

Any other areas you see that need to be polished other than the coastlines?

FYI, WTW works on Windows 7 64bit.
