v1.70 DOWNLOAD LINKS AND CHANGELIST (Updated 19 July 2012)

**delpiero1234** · June 26, 2009, 04:03 AM

Game freezes by turning from Summer 1719 to Winter of 1719 (that should be turn 39 to 40) by playing with the Maratha fraction. I've finished the Grande Campaign with the French and Great Britian thus and it did not freeze.
The freeze occurs when it's the turn of the Iroquis Confederacy. I tried it a couple of times and it always freezes at that point.

The mod is amazing! Thanks for this great mod and hopefully you can fix that crash. I love playing as the Maratha Confederacy, so it would be pretty awesome if the game wouldn't crash :-)

Continue your good work!

This is a little bit confusin (from the installing instructions):

4) Go to:
[drive]:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data\campaigns\main

Make a safe back up of startpos.esf and scripting.lua to a secure location. You will need this file again if you wish to uninstall this mod.

5) Extract the startpos.esf to: [drive]:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data\campaigns\main

6) Extract scripting.lua to [drive]:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data\campaigns\main

Why should i extract the both files in ...\main when they are already in there ? And why there is a second folder named main2 with the same files (startpos.esf and scripting.lua) in it?

And i still get not: Regular line infantry ammo 12 -> 15; regular light infantry 15 -> 18; its still 12 or 15.

I don't care so much about the "odd" units here or there...I want those bearskin hats on the grenadiers baby!! good 'ol British granadier with a bearskin cap.....now thats a beatiful battlefield. Heck, thats why I bought the pack.

Sage,
I am definitely using your latest pack and I am almost positive the correct text pack is installed. Yours is the only mod I use so it shouldn't be conflicting with another mod. I will check later this afternoon to make sure the text pack is in fact there.

Please do try to incorporate the new units into your mod somehow, or at least let us know how we could enable them ourselves. I didn't pay money for them so I couldn't use them.

Ok! I think I've answered my own question.

I installed the new MoD version this morning and as far as Part 2 is concerned all the pack files were identical to the one I was using already.

However, I would still like to be sure this is as intended, if not, then the download link is pointing to the wrong file.

Incidently, I rather stupidly ignored your advice and installed v1.33 this morning despite being halfway through a French Campaign. However, I've just loaded my last saved game and so 'touch wood' it seems to be running ok, so hopefully I got away with it.

Hang in there, I've almost fixed it

First question: because these files have changed.

Second question: the mod is not loading.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying the mod so much!

I have had two unreproducable crashes now, one in the campaign and one in the battle maps. I have never had a crash previously, so it's something about 1.3.

I'm not at a location where I can re-install ETW, so I don't know if that would fix it or not.

If you've never used a version of the mod previously, you will not have about 1/2 of the AOR units available, since the AOR data is loaded at the beginning of a campaign. If you are continuing from a post 1.10 version of this mod, you will have no problems.

We already gave British grenadiers bearskins some time ago (and Spain, Portugal, Italians and Bavaria)

They still use the default model. Is the "Spanish grenadier" model more appropriate, you think?

**mikeCK** · June 26, 2009, 12:05 PM

Hmmm. well in a custom battle, when I recruit British Grenadiers, they have the old style hats. There is one of the new models with bearskin in the default loadout but I can't recruit anymore.

BTW, Sage...don't be to concerned with hrandom crashes. Many are experiencing this post 1.3 as there is an issue with the sound coding as it relates to certain motherboards and some such dribble drabble. I had it repeatedly occur mid battle but after switching to "2 speaker stereo" from "windows default sound" in teh sound options, I haven't seen it. (knocks on wood since I have only played 2 battle since) CA is working on a fix...again....uuuugghhhhh

Edit: I should say that TROM is installed as I can recruit both typrs of infantry in London and range is 90 for the infantry...plus I had a great naval battle....perfectly impossible with vanilla!

Ok, let me know when you find a way to fix it

**Johan217** · June 26, 2009, 03:04 PM

About British grenadiers: I mixed it up, we actually replaced the bearskins with mitre caps - which is more accurate.

I'm not sure it's anything I can fix -- I think it's a CA problem.

**delpiero1234** · June 26, 2009, 03:40 PM

Hh..
I see what you mean
I thought it's a problem that only occurs with the mod.
Well I hope that the Creative Assembly will fix it

excellent. Bearskins look silly for this period

Had the same problem...CTD after turn or with a quick save (repeatedly). I replaced the 1.4x startpos and scripting lua files with the old 1.3x version and it now works. Maybe a problem with the new startpos 1.4 file?
