No matter what i do it doesnt work

**Enossir** · April 17, 2010, 06:15 AM

Now first im going to start by saying this is how i downloaded and installed the mod.

first i downloaded 1.02 installed that
then 1.021 hotfix and english translation
THEN i downloaded the 1.03 patch from fileshack (the exe) installed then
then i downloaeded the patch for that.

i Have windows 7 64bit i am also the admin.
I HAVE THE STEAM VERSION of the game.

so first i changed tuetonic to oldtuetonic and left the warhammer mod as the tuetonic mod. then i deleted tuetonic and kept the warhammer mod as the tuetonic mod. still when i start it up it either goes black then to CTD OR sometimes it goes to the warhammer loading screen then CTD.

Tried to run it...screen goes black then CTD.
tried to change the set launch options to

"@Sprite_vkl " without quotes (that is all i entered no previous text before @)
and again with "@warhammer.cfg" then again with "@Sprite_vkl.cfg" then i did a combination of the
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\medieval ii total war\kingdoms.exe @<batch or cfg>" and
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\medieval ii total war\launcher.exe @<batch or cfg>" and
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\medieval ii total war\medieval2.exe @<batch o cfg>"
still CTD on start up after black screen OR instant fatal error.

I tried also doing all of these things in admin (steam running as admin) still nothing.

then i deleted mtw2 off of steam and kingdoms and repeated the process still nothing.

i have 3 different downloads of this mod and its patches all from different sites non work.

I have downloaed the "steam mod installer http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=334458" of course it seems utterly useless since it only has the retrofit and lotr mod (hell if i hit add mod it doesnt do anything simply pops up with a "Request registry access is not allowed" the best part is is that the readme doesn't actually tell you IF YOUR NEED TO ACTUALLY DOWNLOAD THE MOD. I do not do things i am not told to do because i am NOT tech SAVY.)

So can someone email me at tonyrissone@gmail.com or tonyrissone@yahoo.com or PM me. You would have to go step by step for if you skip a step i will not know.

I have tried everything (at least the literal directions and nothing else BUT those so if the posters skipped a step o well i wouldnt know)

Funnily enough previously i had the third age mod running. After installing this mod neither worked. Then i deleted installed 3rd age and it also CTD on start up.

Im really tired sorry for grammer.

Welcome to the forums Enossir! It's always nice to see new members in this community.

Have you tried the torrent? It is very easy to use, as it only requires you to extract one, yes one!, folder to your "mods" folder. Then you're done!

If you do not want to use the torrent, look here. It is a guide that'll help you with installation.

Also, since you are a windows 7 64-bit user (like myself), make sure that you turn off user account control. Info can be found here.

I hope this helps you. If you need more help, feel free to pm me and I'll do my best to help you

alright thx sorry for the doom and gloom post was tired of having to deal with MTw2 mods for about 6 hours straight and getting no were.

1: I used the torrent, fresh instal, and turned off user account control lets see how it goes.....ok so heres how it went

When it loaded up i got the old Teutonic loading screen. then after the vid which i skipped i saw a Warhammer loading screen with a quote i believe to be in russian, then on the menu there was nothing but 5 blank bars. i clicked on one and received a CTD. This is an improvement as well it actually loaded to the loading screen. Also i did rename tuetonic to oldtuetonic and them moved the warhammer mod into the folder...

So since i downloaded the torrent what else should i download any patches obviously a translation file but which one?

Now i downloaded and installed the 1.02 translation, and the 1.03 translation....funnily enough the loading video is the tuetonic video but i think its in russian? ? ? ? still nothing on the bars i think i opened up multiplayer option because i saw the world "gamespy" and i opened up the saved game area so i tried to load a random save game and it CTD....really have no clue why its doing what its doing. Everything is still in russian ( i think its russian) EVERYTHING.....theres not one english word except in the credits and the word gamespy also when its reforring to a-z on the controls settings. SO i installed 1.01 text, 1.02 text, 1.03 all the english translations still nothing....totally unplayable i cant even figure out how to start a game of anything.

I would take screenshots but when i hit Prtscrn i just get a black screen?

I finally got to the custom battle menu but all the factions are tuetonic, all in russian i think, all the units are also tuetonic ALSO all in russian

all i want it to do is work with English on my menu so i can actually change my settings and start a campaign.

heres a vid of my error

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoEkmYxTfUI

notice the old Teutonic crap...and ITS IN RUSSIAN WTF???..?? and the old Teutonic menu....WTF i deleted tuetonic so that means it has to be in the torrent idk im drunk. the lack of actual text.

also yes ive ran the game @warhammer.bat nothing changed, then @Sprite_vkl.bat my main thing is why are there RUSSIAN mtw2:kingdoms tuetonic campaign files in the mod files it confuses the hell out of me? Because i deleted MY tuetonic file.

edit: HAHAHA i finally got to a battle set up page by randomly clicking on blank ...things (look at my video) and to my surprise instead of warhammer units and factions RUSSIAN version TUETONIC campgain factions are there???? But when i started the battle it CTD.

Delete Teutonic, and reinstall without unpacking.

Extract torrent to a new folder, on your desktop or somewhere.

Change the name from "teutonic" to "warhammer". Go into the folder, change the name of the game .bat (not the sprite one) to "warhammer.bat". Open it up, change all references from teutonic to warhammer. Save and quit. Rename the none sprite .cfg file to "warhammer.cfg", and edit all references from Teutonic to "warhammer". Paste this at the very top of every unpacked modification folders .cfg you have made

Code:

[io]
file_first = true
disable_file_cache = true

Make sure that the [log] entry reads

Code:

[log] 
to = logs/M2TW.system.log.txt 
level = * trace
;level = * error

Save and exit.

Go up one level, and cut and paste the warhammer folder to your M2/Mods folder. Don't bother with any installations. If you're that keen to play it in English, copy and paste all .txt files from warhammer/data/text to a new folder somewhere, then place the translation files one by one, testing after each modification into the data/text folder.

If there are any errors, check the log. If you can't identify, just immediately paste the log to the translation thread, and we should be able to identify it, then just replace the error causing translation file with the russian version you backed up before test to see if it works, and continue in that manner. It's long winded, but it will be improved for 1.4.
