How to make Res Gestae work with Steam

[Naja]

I'm considering buying RTW again off of Steam. If I downloaded Res Gestae, would it work on my steam version of RTW?

I guess so, as long as you install the mod inside the steam folder. Then, perhaps, you might have to edit the shortcut created by the installer following the instructions of this thread:

Please notice the large amount of conditionals that I am using in this message. I have to admit my complete ignorance concerning steam.

I just installed it today with a Steam version of RTW Gold and it works perfectly. You need to direct the installer to your Steam RTW install:

C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\rome total war gold

Next, edit the Res Gestae shortcut path to the following:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 4760 -mod:RG  -nm -show_err

Make sure you put your Steam install path if it differs from mine in both cases. The crucial part is -applaunch and everything after it.

I am going to edit the thread title in order to allow other users to have a proper guidance.
