The ToolBox - The Universal Mod Launcher v1.204 (Latest Steam Update Compatible)

[Absolutex]

I couldn't launch any more of my custom M2TW .bat files after updating my computer. This tool fixed that. Thanks!

[Gigantus]

Much appreciated. Spread the news if you hear that someone else has the same problem.

Hi,

I have logged the following error message:


[Universal Mod Launcher by Guan Ziyang - Copyright 2014] started on Sun 05/03/2015 12:57:07.94]
[12:57:07.94] ERROR - Medieval II installation (Medieval2.exe or Kingdoms.exe) was not detected in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\KingofRiverandHills...

However Kingdoms seems to run perfectly through steam. Some help would be much appreciated.

[Gigantus]

The mod\launcher is not in the correct folder. The path should be ...\Medieval II Total War\mods\my mod - did you duplicate the mods\my mod path like below? If so move it into the right folder position and adjust the desktop short cut accordingly.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\KingofRiverandHills\mods\KingofRiverandHills

Thanks for your reply. I have adjusted the directory accordingly. However, after running the launcher the following error message was still logged:

I think you misunderstood me - I assumed you had installed into a double path, not that you should do so.

Please copy here the full path to the launcher file that you use to start the mod. It should be here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\KingofRiverandHills

The path to the data folder of your mod's installation should be here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War\mods\KingofRiverandHills\data

If both is the case and either the Medieval2.exe or Kingdoms.exe file exists in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Medieval II Total War folder then the game will start.

hello after having (good) how to install sought (and succeeded !!! ) mod Deus Lo Vult of steam when I start the game it will not launch a fullscreen. I'm having looked everywhere I can not find how to settle this problem. a solution ???

[Gigantus]

Check in the CFG file of Deus Lo Vult, in the [video] section. See if it has these lines:

windowed = 1
borderless_window = 1

If yes, change from 1 to 0 (zero) and save

[flo463]

hhhheeeuuuu... or can I find this file? and what program should be used to open it? (I'm a noob computer )

[Gigantus]

From the opening post:

Both are compressed in 7zip archives. Programs like 7zip can extract these archives. (You can get 7-zip from here: http://www.7-zip.org/ or commandline equivalent p7zip from here: http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/ )

[flo463]

thanks you

[Gigantus]

One is glad to be of service

[flo463]

hello the noob is back , I come back because I have a problem, I did as you told me, but when I opened the file I have not found the line borderless_window = 1 (I added by paper / paste) and the other line was indicated windows = false ??? I did not understand why elsewhere. despite that there is still no change the game always starts in reduced mode . help???

[Gigantus]

false = 0
true = 1

the line needs to be windows = true

[flo463]

ok a thousand thanks

[flo463]

good I tested and it's still not working. any ideas because there I dry?

[Gigantus]

Other option:

Check the resolution of your desktop and write it down
Now open the CFG file and add the following to the [video] section (replace numbers with your desktop's resolution):

[video]
windowed = 1
borderless_window = 1
battle_resolution = 1920 1080
campaign_resolution = 1920 1080

[flo463]

I tested at the time ..... and still no change. I begin to think I'm cursed or null it depends

[Gigantus]

Please tell me your desktop resolution and then copy the content of your mod's CFG file here.

[flo463]

my destkop resolution: 1920*1080
