Sorry for my english.. is very bad i know

So i think u understand for Priest?
I play with Francorum they color is blue.. so i conquer 10-15 cities.. and when i look the map i see one blue region.. in other Mods we have different border line color from the faction color..

and for the green triangles thanks

exemple :

[Diocletianus]

Can't start a new campaign either. I have disabled tu UAC and I was able to play Vandalorum 2.Should I check the config ?

This from a new install?

Yup. I have uninstall and install it 3 time yesterday. No changes : it still CTD time I start a new campaign and when I try to play a custom battle.

Try downloading a different download, the zip file instead for the installer dl we have had issues reported. I know it is confusing w/all these mods but report a mods issue on its correct mods forum in this case this should go in the Vandalorum forum ok?

Give it time, it can take a minute or longer for your first campaign to start.

Make sure you do not have any virtual( compatible ) files stored before loading up a new game.

I'm in the same boat as Ray Finkle - once I choose a faction and press "start campaign" it just freezes there. Music plays, cursor moves, but just sticks at the faction selection screen.

Regarding the virtual files, how/what/where? I've spent some time googling it, checking out stuff that comes up and google searching based on what I read in the articles, but nothing helpful came up so I've got no idea what to do.


EDIT: also, am I right in saying that I can download and install Africa Vandalorum into the same folder as I did with this mod and everything will be fine? I've deleted all my TW games off of Steam, which was always a pain for me to use mods with, and am using physical copies of TW games now, so I'm a bit rusty when it comes to using mods, especially more than one at the same time! I'm pretty sure that the IB2 mods are mod foldered and so should be able to be played when in the same M2TW folder, but thought I'd better check to be sure. Thanks!

Hi Aenima, Im not sure if I read you right but the IB2 mods(IB2 and IB2_Britanniae mods released ) are mod folded with each mod having their own separate folders as the other original MTW2 Kingdoms mod-british_isles, crusades, and Americas. So the IB2 Vandals is mod folded under IB2 and the IB2 Britanniae mod is mod folded as IB2_Britannia. Each are separate mods that are mod folded within this route Medieval II Total War\mods directory

Sounds good - does this mean it's safe to have both of them installed in the same place? I've got a folder called M2TW on my desktop that also has kingdoms installed in it, and that's where this mod is currently installed. If I download Africa Vandalorum, can I install it into that same folder and play both with no problems?

Also, on the Virtual Store front, I looked up Gigantus' UAC/Virtual Store guide, and when I went looking for my Virtual files, found that there were none. Apparently this is to be expected, since I installed it outside of program files, and in his own words:

If you install outside the program folder from the word 'go' you will avoid all the hassle as the VirtualStore doesn't back up stuff outside it.

I'll just try installing the mod again and seeing if it works then.


EDIT: still in the same boat =[

Yes in the samre place. It should look like this then: Medieval II Total War\mods\IB2 -for the Vandals Mod. Just make sure its placed in the mods folder and not in the Medieval II Total War folder. And do not put IB2_Britanniae in the IB2(Vandals mod) in the same folder. They are(all of our mods) all separate mod folded mods.

When you install the Vandals mod you should see an IB2 folder and also the crusades, british_isles, and americas folders all in the same place.

Ok - I uninstalled all mod and M2TW/Kingdoms files, deleted them, then reinstalled. Installed M2TW+Kingdoms into a folder on my desktop, patched Kingdoms to 1.5, then copied the folder, renamed it, and installed the mod there. In all parts of the installation (part 1, part 2 and the patch) I set the following target directory:

C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\M2TW IB

But still no luck when it came to the faction selection page, froze again. Did I do anything wrong myself, or is it just a mystery?

Your Executive.exe and Configuration files that are inside your IB2_Britanniae folder are set as:

Configuratuion file:
[features]
mod = mods/IB2_Britanniae

Executive.exe:
start kingdoms.exe @mods\IB2_Britanniae\configuration.cfg

I don't see a mods folder-C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\M2TW IB
Should be -C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\Medieval II Total War\mods\IB

[Aenima]

Should be -C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\Medieval II Total War\mods\IB

So is that what I need to set for the install directory for the patch, or for all of the installation bits?
