RTW Alex exe for RTR VII

[AngryTitusPullo]

I'm going to change on a weekly basis now..

[Maurits]

Keep it like this, you've been called LestaT for ages. I don't like change

[Bull3pr00f de Bodemloze]

Tomorrow I'm changing my name to Lawnchair de Bodemloze. Just for you, Maurits

[Maurits]

I'll never look at your username again

[Nerouin]

Any updates here?

[Ballacraine]

Back to the old problems now Patch 1 is released.

I have been editing out errors in txt files & got as far as the Start New Campaign.

Can't start because I don't have 1.6 BI installed.

I just realize your problem. Some battlemap building and stratmap agents I believe uses BI files. If you don't have BI folder then the game wont run.

[Ballacraine]

I have the BI folder there too.

So that isn't it.

It is definitely something changed in the patch, because I had it running sweet before.

Balla.

[Caligula Caesar]

I can assure you, the game works with BI, so it isn't mistakes in the text files.

[Ballacraine]

Well those are the errors that it keeps throwing up in preference to running as it did before the patch.

This is after a clean install too.

I don't know what is up with it TBH.

Balla.

[AngryTitusPullo]

What is the exact error ?

I didn't have any in my own build though I have encountered unable to restart script after loading save game.

Need to check why hybrid Alex mod don't like script so much.

Maybe a real ci/bi type would work as Alex also have it's own script.

[Ballacraine]

Difficult to pin down, LestaT.

I correct one flagged error in a txt file, then it finds another.

I could try a second clean install, if it would help?

Maybe make sure the patched BI version work first, just in case it was wrong installed.

On rop of my head (I'm at the office now.. no file reference).

1. Make sure chat_filter.san in copied in rtrvii/data folder.

2. Copy barbarian_invasion folder and rename to imperial_campaign folder in data/worl/map folder

3. In the copied folder copy/rename file barbarian_invasion_campaign.txt to imperial_campaign.txt (you can use my files uploaded file as base or check from 'how to play EB with Alex' thread in EB forum.

4. in text folder copy/rename all barbarian_invasion.....txt to imperial_campaign.txt

5. in campaig description files copy foe_campaign faction line and rename to imperial_campaign faction line

6. to cure immortality add the approriate trait to the relevant files

7. in data folder add one section to prevent crash in the ai battle text file (forgot the exact name)

8. comment out horde line in descr_sm_factions.txt and also EDU.txt files

....

I think that's all. I'll add if any is missing once I'm at home.

i gave it a go and had no problem , possibly something up at your end ,best luck

[Ballacraine]

Righto, thanks for your efforts, I'll try again.

Balla.

[Ballacraine]

No still getting BI 1.6 not installed.

Very frustrating!

Balla.

[Ballacraine]

OK, I have done another fresh install & have it working with Alex without hotfix & patch 1.

I have nearly finished d/ling Patch 1a & will update after installation of that.

Balla.

Edit: Now will not load.

Script Error rtrvii/data/export_descr_buildings.txt at Line 833 Col 47
Unknown unit type specified aor thrace peltasts

[Maurits]

That must have to do something with the changes you made. I do know that that unit was changed in Patch 1, but the change was there in the first version, too. I didn't get the error, otherwise we'd have fixed it before releasing the adapted patch.
