So do I need to download different patch files? I haven't done anything yet with the patch 4.5 files from the official download thread on here.

#14 on this helped: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...on-destription

but I'm stuck on step 5... no english text.rar file

**Rawz** · June 11, 2015, 07:54 PM

I'm going to bed now. Ran the game for the first time out of curiosity and sure enough it loads up but with no text on the menu buttons. No sound either but i suspect thats because I need to change output settings as I use an external interface for sound and can't do that without text!

I'll be back in the morning, determined to start my campaign...

EDIT: Got sound now, it sorted itself but game is running as vanilla just with no text

what I did to have the text is to download the 6 fieles of the second part of the 4.5 version. After put it in unrax you will see a "rar" file called ENGLISH_TEXT.rar then you unzip it and replace Lord_loc.pack in your data folder.
the rest is runing ok?

Ah ok thanks, I'll try that. At the moment it just seems like the game is still vanilla just with missing text

**Rawz** · June 12, 2015, 04:49 PM

I did the english text thing and I now have text but the game itself is clearly just vanilla. I haven't bothered to load up a battle yet as I can see from the menu that its vanilla. will have a few battles and report back. hope someone can help...

Try with the version 4, the campaign is working? and the battles? remember, don´t use the files Lord_LCP.pack and Lord_CP.pack

I played through some of road to independence campaign last night and it ran fine (no crashes etc) but the game is not modded at all. simply vanilla. I just removed the Lord_LCP.pack and Lord_CP.pack files and put them on my desktop. it seems to have made no difference at all

Daarth Mod NTW:

If you were having trouble figuring out how to get the campaigns working for the daarth mod I have figured out the solution. Depending on what campaign you want to play you must put that.pack file in NTW data folder and update the user.script.txt file in preferences and then put that pack in your advanced option dialog once you load the game.

Next go into the package contents->resources->data->data->campaigns

depending on what campaign you want to play depends on what folder you need to edit.

For example we will do the europe campaign. so go into DMN_Coalition->Standard

copy the startpos.esf file and paste it into the over dmn coalition folder(overwrite the existing file).

Finally I went into the daarth mod folder that i had saved onto my desktop and took the file called eur_scripting.lua (path is data-> DMN->dmn_scripts->lua
then pasted that lua file in the same place as the startpos.esf. also renamed it to just scripting.lua

Sorry if that is confusing but i was able to unlock every faction for the daarth mod campaign, including every minor faction such as sicily, oldenburg, etc.
let me know if you have questions.

I have put the TROM files in my 'data' folder as per Athenian's instructions

I have also put in the lua and ets files in my override campaign folder under main and main_2

I have gone through all the steps on this webpage but cannot figure out how to properly run TROM.

Whenever I put the mod script into advanced options the game crashes.

I have tried adding in the mod script files into the script itself in the preferences.empire_script
as:
mod "patch_aum_graphics.pack";mod "trom_battlesounds.pack";
mod "trom_ornamentum.pack";
mod "trom_core_part_1.pack";
mod "trom_core_part_2.pack";
mod "trom_loadingscreens.pack";
mod "trom_text.pack";
mod "trom_blood_smoke_medium.pack";
mod "trom_flags.pack";
mod "mod_grandcampaigngraphics.pack";

And then put this in 'advanced options' so it is activated. The game crashes.

When I play the game without the box ticked there are small changes that have occurred to the vanilla game (different skins on the faction leaders) but none of the major changes of TROM.

Can someone help me ?

Hi Zanzibar, I have not tried the TROM mod but you say "I have tried adding in the mod script files into the script itself in the preferences.empire_script"
did you create a user.script.txt by opening a new TextEdit file and placing this in:

mod "patch_aum_graphics.pack";mod "trom_battlesounds.pack";
mod "trom_ornamentum.pack";
mod "trom_core_part_1.pack";
mod "trom_core_part_2.pack";
mod "trom_loadingscreens.pack";
mod "trom_text.pack";
mod "trom_blood_smoke_medium.pack";
mod "trom_flags.pack";
mod "mod_grandcampaigngraphics.pack";

then save as user.script.txt in your scripts folder.

try to change the order of the different mod in the advanced options.. it might be the problem. first, launch only the game with mod "trom_core_part_1.pack";
mod "trom_core_part_2.pack"; and then add others one by one and launch the game each time, when it crash, find an other order.. (I don't remember well but I think ornamentum need to be first)

I have a problem with instaling Empire Darth Mod. It seems that there is a manual needed like with Napoleon, which I have installed successfully. Can someone help with DME please? Advice that is already here is not working for me and it looks oversimplified.

Thanks
