Hey guys

i don't mean to ask to be spoon fed, but just need alittle help

I have Rome, BI, Alexander installed

ill be honest with you guys, ive lent my rome CD to a friend i no longer see, i will buy it if i must, but can i run the game of the other two expansion packs????

im not sure what Romes patched up to either, thou im guessing if i patch it up to the required patch i can still play RS2 using the expansion packs, i will go out and rebuy it if i must, but if i can save a few pounds ill rather do that....

if possbile can someone answer me a question, i do have the legit version installed as any good TWC member would, but can someone list links for all the required patches,i would be forever in debted to you, thou all i can offer is rep

Thank you very much advance - cant wait to play with the legions

PS: keeping bittorrent open to help with people downloading, definately the easier option

Thank you for everyone help here, got it all installed and about to try ti now, think i hve followed the procdures correctly, not sure thou, tried to follow the setup in the reported bug thread to avoid missing skeletons

thanks dude ill check it out, i think fourth age uses a sub mod folder, not sure about the rome realism mod thou? but will check it out, thanks again marinm!!!

[marinm]

yea rome realism....it doesnt look good....lol...

The problem with mods that even 'mod foldered' ones sometimes change the files in the data folder or elsewhere. We don't know what they do.

You can try installing it and seeing what happens.

I suggest that you launch vanilla RTW and vanilla RTW BI to see if they 'work' for this iinstall. If they do then copy the folder to a new location and install RSII there.

However, the advice to install over a clean working RTW is there for a reason.

The usual advice for mods is to keep the original RTW folder clean and simply copy it to another location and then apply mods to there. I've been doing that since 2005 and have never had to uninstall / reinstall RTW ever since.

Ther is a mod foldered version of RTR PE if that is what you mean by 'rome realism' but there is also a non mod fodlered version.

hmmmm thank you very Brusilov for you very much for the reply, trying to work out which one it is now, seems to have darth formations, as a file, there, so im looking for him in the credits off one of the two, i think i will have to re-pick the game up this monday, totally forgot i was playing these mods at one point

thank you very much for your help guys, i know creating un-needed problems which could be solved by icking up rome again, just short on funds to the end of the month, sorry guys,

thank you very much thou, still have some sort of fighting chance atm! thank you!!

edit: given out to much rep Brusilov will rep you later thank you

[Brusilov]

No problems - if a mod is mod-foldered there will be a folder that looks like the 'TATW' one. I've forgotten what the RTR PE one is but it's probably 'RTRPE'....

I'd suggest buying a RTW/RTW BI/RTW Alex set and never loan it out to anyone. The good news is that they are quite cheap now.

There is always Steam but I think it's best to get the discs - I don't know if you can play MP with Steam using Hamachi or other things.

[Permenion]

Best way to avoid problems is making a copy of your folder each time you want to install a new mod..
That is... if you have sufficient memory on your computer ofcourse... (each folder is like 2,3 gig)
I have about 4 mods now running on RTW all on the same computer (RS 1.6, RS II, EB and LOTR mod)
But I guess you already knew that...lol

[AgentGB]

nevermind...... got it working!

[Brusilov]

OP has mod working.

Closed.
