-Guide: Making RS2 Mod foldered for steam

[TheEnforced]

When installed I didnt have the Bosporhus file any help?

[The Roman Republic]

just try re-downloading the file, and then try a different extracting software like Win-zip or 7zip.

I've done exactly like this guide said, but I'm getting the following error: ''Problem Checking Steam Application''. What am I doing wrong?

[Post Hoc]

How are you launching the mod?

I've done exactly like this guide said, but I'm getting the following error: ''Problem Checking Steam Application''. What am I doing wrong?

When it says that go into steam, on the top left corner should be a tab saying steam, click that and look for exit, then when it's properly closed open it up again and try from there.

After I did this the Mod keeps disappearing from my steam library.

[The Roman Republic]

could you be more specific, does it disappear when you load the mod, or after when you add the non steam game or after you quit steam?

Great thread, very useful. I'll make sure to follow this when the next patch releases. Will you be updating it for 2.7, because i'm unsure whether you will need 2.5 installed before 2.7.

[The Roman Republic]

To be honest I didn't know they were going to update, I'll most likely add it as a section below the lot, thanks.

[JonseyTHEGREAT]

OHH srry man It happens when I quit Steam.

[The Roman Republic]

i don't know why it's doing this, are you making sure that you follow the steps of adding the non-steam game?

When you say you quit steam, do you click on the steam tab and then click exit? if so then stop that and close it by clicking the exit on the window, it will then make steam run in the background and when ever you log back into your computer then steam will load itself.

I bought RTW gold and Alex during steam summer sale (didn't want my old disc sitting in the tray all the time ).
Your guide worked perfectly for me. Even lifted over saves and preferences from my "old" disc game.
Your guide only offers plat through the RTW.exe? I've noticed that Alex is in another folder in Steamapps, is it also possible to play via the Alex.exe?
Again, thanks a lot for a perfect guide!

[The Roman Republic]

I don't have the alx.exe for steam, however if you try following the guide but anything that relates to putting files in the Rome Total War folder, change it to the alexander. However it seems alot of messing around but its up to you.

Sorry for the late reply.

I tested and it works and you don't need RTW or BI in same folder as alexander just change the BI folder in this mod to alexander. Then you can probably only play with alex though. This video has better instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg_1iWpT-F0

[Sweavenger]

Ok, thanks for your replies. Will try and install the Alex.exe when I'm back from vacation.

Your Steam guide would probably work also with the new version, thats coming up?

[The Roman Republic]

When it does come out ill try it out and upgrade it, however it will only be replacing files,

[The Roman Republic]

Updated OP,

-adding the 2.6 patch.

[Sweavenger]

Downloaded the 2.6 and patched the existing 2.5 in my Alex folder - Everything works so far (havn't really played it yet, but it loads just fine!). No problem with finding Steam etc.

Looking forward to begin my new Campaign and the road the World domination!


Thanks for a super thread!

[The Roman Republic]

Sounds great, have fun .

If you have any steam related problems regarding loading or opening the mod then follow through the guide, thanks
