3. From steam library , right click on Medieval ll and choose properties, then "set lauch options". Type this "--io.file_first @DarthMod.cfg" and OK.
when you start the game it will load dart mod.
iv'e tried this but there is no "launcher.exe" in my root directory , only a "Medieval2" , and a "launch_darthmod" batch file, Do i rename the batch to launcher or medieval2? and iv'e tried both now with the steam launch options. which results in the loading screen of darthmod but CTD with an unspecified error message.
2. Copy /paste medieval2.exe and rename it to launcher.exe
if this dose not work:
The new steam version uses the old mod-folder method for mods. There should be a "DarthMod" folder inside your medieval ii total war/mods folder, if so, make a shortcut to the medieval2.exe, rename it "darthmod" right click your new "darthmod" shortcut, select properties, in the target field add
--features.mod=mods/DarthMod
so it should now look like
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\medieval ii total war\medieval2.exe" --features.mod=mods/DarthMod
if your darthmod folder inside the mods folder is not "DarthMod" change it to whatever your folder is called. If your DarthMod folder is not in the mods folder leave the "mods/" out of the target line.

Same thing here. There is no "Launcher.exe" in my directory. Did Steam change something? (again...)
yes, ofcourse they have, steam likes to do that. They merged the old "Kingdoms.exe" and "Medieval2.exe" into a single "Medieval2.exe" and removed the Launcher.exe completely.

Oh, there is a cure, if I have to I will re-download this mod and find it.
