EMPIRE TOTAL FACTIONS...... (Last updated 17/08/2011)

[Condottiere SOG]

I like 1.1 the best...I like 2.0 as well...but in 1.1, if you remove the ETF pack files...you can still play all the mods you had originally and still get the benefits of multi-factional play. Is it possible to get a new version in this fashion or are you finished with this mod?

[husserlTW]

I have the problem too just cannot find empire.exe when i click late campaign or early campaign. when i look at in folder i have downloaded everything??

Make sure that you have installed mod in the right place.

the packs are not in the data directory under etf map.. the packs are in the data folder in Empire total war..

The packs are in ...\empire total war\ETF\files. When you start mod the related packs with the chosen campaign should been copied in ...\empire total war\data. If they are copied then is not possible not to see all factions available.

i tried that pack maanger ut my pak is alredy a movie.. so what do i do ?

[XxGREAT-BRITAINx]

Basically the two download links aren't working for me, would it be possible for you to simply reupload the mod to another website? thankyou.

Welcome.
After installing this add-on and turn the game window pops up "The Empire Total War has stopped working" and the game will automatically switch off. I have Windows 7 x64

Mod is great, but when i play warpath with united states i don't have 1st Maryland and 2nd New York special unit! Of course, i have all elite units for empire, and i build a Barracks in Maryland and New York, but units is missing.

Please help.

[husserlTW]

Some unit resources are missing in regions. Use the attached pack so you recruit any eua in any us region. Unzip place it in game's data folder. You do not need to edit user script for this.

[jasar]

Thanks, it's works now.

I can recruit all elite units in every region, but to be honest, it's better when you can train 2nd New York unit just in New York, because now you only need one barracks in whole continent to recruit all units you can have. Is there any way you can fix this?

Thanks.

[husserlTW]

Startpos needs changes for that so I'll do that in a next update. Here is how you can do that:

1. Find the file you will work with: it is in ...\empire total war\campaigns\11.

2. After you keep a backup open it with EsfEditor: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=303205 and go in the region you want to have the unit recruited, eg. New York:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

3. Go in RESOURCES_ARRAY, right click and select Clone. Enter there the... magic work. Which is that?

Open patch5.pack and go in units table. Find the unit you want and go in Region IDRef column. There you can see the magic word you have to enter in startpos.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

4. Repeat with the next region. Save your file only from menu File (there is a reason for this obvious instruction).

Have in mind that startpos needs to be careful. I suggest to use copy/paste so you enter exacrly tha same word, with no accident empry space character and such. Also do not make all units in on time, but make some, try and repeat.

If you make it you have to remove the pack I've made.

I have used this mod in the past. I had removed the game from my computer and the mod with it (studying for the bar exam without distractions!). I reinstalled the game off steam and reinstalled the mod. I see that a new version of the mod has come out. I ran the game a few times with no problems. Now it crashes to the desktop everytime I launch the campaign map. I have tried to launch from saved games, continue campaign and I have also tried starting a new campaign. Any ideas?

[Boatswain'sMate]

I was also unable to launch a campaign in the vanilla game, so I suspect the problem might not be the mod. I am reinstalling everything...

[husserlTW]

Because of a Steam update, now you have to login steam manually and then start the mod. If you miss that and steam starts automatically by the mod launcher then after the CTD you have to reboot. That is why you could not play even vanilla.

[Boatswain'sMate]

That's got it! Thanks!

Hi i have torrent version it's a solution for make this add to work?

[luciusETRUR]

if you play on Total Factions are you able to get the campaign achievements?

[husserlTW]

Hi i have torrent version it's a solution for make this add to work?

I cannot say because mod is made using an original version. If you do not try you will never know...

if you play on Total Factions are you able to get the campaign achievements?

I have never paid attention to that but I can't see why not.
