Unit cards still vanilla or rebel peasant

**boofhead** · March 24, 2007, 04:21 AM

Hi guys I want to play this mod and I've installed everything as instructed and run the new_ui.bat but my unit cards are still vanilla.

I have run the bat file twice with the same result.

God I hope I don't have to redownload the entire mod again

.......

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.....

perhaps manually installing the.bat files might help. i'll try to find the guide that DVK gave me.

3. Go into (rtw)\data\paks\UI_1_pak\DATA.........there should be a 'UI' folder.
4. Take that folder and move or copy it to (rtw)\data\ (It should be in between 'tgas' and 'vegetation').
5. Copy the contents of '(rtw)\data\paks\UI_1_pak\Data_RS\UI' INTO
'(rtw)\data\UI' folder. (Some stuff should be over written)
6. Now go into the (RTW)\data\packs folder and rename UI_1.pak to UI_1.old.
7. Start Game.

hope that helps

don't thank me, thank DVK

hmm....I might have to talk to this DVK fellow....

I have done as instructed and it has worked for all units except Samnite Warriors, City Militia, Velites, Equites and the (unnumbered) Republican Legionary Maniples in Rome, which have all stayed as vanilla Brutii. The numbered Legionary units are correct (and look awesome I must say).

Funny thing is I had a look in C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\data\UI\UNIT_INFO\ROMANS_BRUTII and found the correct pictures in there for velites and some others.....I assume this is where the unit cards are taken from...

Oh well at the least the game is playable anyways

did you run UI.bat, or new ui.bat?

**dvk901** · March 24, 2007, 09:41 AM

Did you do this?

6. Now go into the (RTW)\data\packs folder and rename UI_1.pak to UI_1.old.

I don't thin so...

LOL I did it I am now sure my download was corrupt...thanks guys....I will redownload when I get a new RTW disc as I uninstalled and now my disc is screwed (not a scratch on it either) - freaking magnets or mobile phones or something..........

Thanks anyway.....later

what a nice fellow

Just by way of clarification guys I purchased a new copy of RTW, installed the mod and patch, ran new_ui_bat......and......

WORKS LIKE A FREAKING CHARM!

Somehow whatever happened to my game disc affected the game. Weird.

Thanks anyway guys...BTW I know it works because Pyrrhus just whooped my arse twice on medium battle difficulty

Seems I have found myself a challenging mod to adapt to

Cheers

And Patch10, coming out soon, will make it even better.
