Stainless Steel 6.4 Released!

[Heartless]

This is my systemlog from my latest attempt to start 6.3 from a vanilla M2TW:Gold Steam install. I don't know what to make of it. Can anyone help? I just can't get Stainless Steel to work for me.

Can someone just release the folder as an install the installer refuses to work even with my ucc off

So I am relatively new to installing mods on my old 2003-ish pc (with the exception of TATW 2.1 and 3.0), so i could use a little help. I didnt know where to post this and I have limited time, so I just put it here, hoping one of you kind folks will help me out.

So I installed the Stainless Steel 6.3 files (I read I need that before I can download 6.4, I got the files from Gamefront or Filefront or something included in a topic post by Meneth), and they are in multiple parts. I copied and pasted them into my M2TW file, and when I try to launch the mod from the launcher, it says not enough campaigns, or We couldn't find kingdoms.exe, is it in your M2TW folder. I am not very tech-savvy when it comes to this old heap of a pc, so I'm not really sure where to go from here.

Nice work! I stopped playing MTWII a long time ago, but when I stumbled upon this mod I decided to give the game another try. And I really enjoy it now!
Keep up the good work, can't wait for #7!

Is there a way to toggle unlimited ammo?

So where do I get to play as the ERE/Byzantine Empire in like the 1400s?

[Chazz1225]

you don't, you only have the option of starting the campaign in either 1100 or in 1200

[kretian]

is there a way that i can have available all units like i do have in KCGM mod?
And not after dozens of turns?

[Chazz1225]

just disable real recruitment in the setup

I'm getting a really strange repeating error. The game loads and runs just fine (Steam, vanilla M2TW Gold, 6.3, 6.4) the first time I load it, but after I close the game and come back later, it won't run a second time. Either:

1. The game launcher launches twice but doesn't launch the game itself - clicking on the launcher.exe brings up the main launcher, but then choosing Stainless Steel brings up another launcher, so I have two launchers and no game. If I click on Stainless Steel on the second launcher, I get a fatal error message and everything crashes, though the two launchers remain open.

2. Clicking on any other way to open the game (Steam Launcher, Start Menu) just doesn't open anything, not even the Launcher. It acts like I didn't do anything at all.

However, if I remove a savedgame file from the game and move it somewhere safe, then delete the game files, and then paste over an identical copy of the game files (with the savedgame file also moved back over), it runs fine. But only once, then I have the same problems as before.

You probably downloaded it with the UAC enabled. You have to either disable the UAC, or (much easier in my opinion) give M2TW full security rites. This thread shows you how:

After you do this, reinstall SS 6.4, and go through the setup again. I had this same problem and this worked for me.

thanks man it worked

Glad I could help

I have CTD, and I installed SS 6.4 with UAC disabled/full rights

I even tried downloading a fresh instalation of 6.4, but I still have CTD

Hi this mod sounds great but I was wondering if The Battle Ai was improved in this mod ?
You are doing a great job, continue like that.
