error when loading animations

[Furin]

Great you found a new provider Maced0n! Really looking forward to testing it.

[JoeyJubb]

Hmm, looks very nice! As for the error loading animations, you'll need the IDX and DAT files from HSD to fix this. I only gave permission for HSD to be used so I don't actually know too much about this mod.

[pittsburghpenguins]

I must have installed incorrectly the first time. Working fine now, and very eager to give it a go!

[Furin]

I have 2 questions regarding installation:

Is it possible to run this MnM together with BI like the old one?

Is this version compatible with the CTD city fix posted in this forum?

[Maced0n]

Yes is it possible to run ,this mod didnt change anything in main data folder
No i didnt add that fix becouse i dont know how good it is....

[Furin]

Works like a charm so far, its obvious how much work you put into this . Even the installer is impressive xd.

Edit: Small problem with the installer. I reinstalled everything from scratch (1.2 -> BI -> 1.6 patch) just to make sure. The installer does not seem to recognize the BI 1.6 version correctly. It says wrong version but nevertheless continues with the installation. Some of the clickable features like no torches and no green arrows do not seem to work either (installer showed that he can not overwrite the preference file in the cmd window, the file is not write protected though), you can still remove both with the 1.6 additional installer and manually edit the preference file so its no biggie.

Edit2: My first Feedback after a couple of hours playing. Great new features, culture, new diplomats, the entire feeling of the mod became even more intense. The new culture sounds (horns) are also very nicely done, just had a battle with Gauls in the woods and it was very atmospheric. Non destroyable auxiliary buildings are a good idea too, so assimilating another culture will not raise your happiness to higher levels but instead fight the already existing culture level and bring you to a zero sum after some time. A minor bug I found so far is that the Phyrrus back to Italy event suggests that some allied reinforcements are placed at Capua, those reinforcements actually do not spawn. The general then spawned in the Phyrrusstack is a non named general, aka just the unit (both not a big deal). I will post more things as soon as I find them.

[Maced0n]

@Furin
Its good you give feedback
About installer- when i test him on mine PC it was working perfecly i dont know why you have problems like that.Installer is made to look for 1.5-RTW.exe, it dosnt look for BI.exe
About spawn army -I newer tested how is working , i take that from IMP2.

[Ronin]

Great mod that vastly improves RTRPE but it isn't the most stable of your versions, I get occasional CTD's.

However i'm willing to trade the stability of your last version for the many improvements of this version.

[KALI]

Hi Macedon,
I've been trying to edit your mod and swap some of the italian units for new units of other nations. So far I've edited the DMB, EDU, EDB, Models Unit, Models Units_textures and descr_rebel_factions. but now I realise there's at least one other file I don't know about as the games still trying to find the samnite spearmen.. I thought the descr_strat file might be the problem but it doesn't look like you've changed anything in there. Do you know where I'm going wrong .....

[Maced0n]

@KALI
I format PC before few days ,right now i dont have RTW installed on it,and i dont have a clue where ru going wrong...Italian units have same txt enteries like Candels mod.... do u have txt compare program its easy to find all diff with this tool
here is what i use http://www.scootersoftware.com/
if u like it pm me for r..........n

[GracchusTheGreat]

Great work! (based on the preview, at least)

For those who have played, I'd like to know what affect the perceived lack of moutains has had on game play? The landscape looks rather flat in the preview pics (especially in Macedonia), but is the effect mainly cosmetic or have the main passes been changed/removed? I'm going to play as soon as the D/L finishes, but I'm hoping to have some info before planning a long-term strategy (of which mountain passes forms a large part). Thanks!

(keep up the great work makedon!)

[KALI]

I have it now thanks for the link Macedon.
a very usefull tool. No doubt i'll be sending that pm shortly.

[romavictoria]

wow!

Impressive, can you play it with BI and with thoose fancy- add- -mod switches?

[KALI]

Yes its playable with BI,
and uses a mod switch

[squashsoup]

I'm playing as the Greeks and for some reason no matter what buildings I construct in Syracuse, I can't recruit anything but levy hoplites and standard hoplites. No cav, no missile units, nothing. Is there a chart anywhere that spells out the buildings and resources needed to construct each unit?

[Furin]

Dear Maced0n,

do you have any news/fixes for those CTDs during the AI phase? I can´t finish any campaign and i tried so many times. I really tried to understand what causes it but I have no idea. For now I will uninstall the beta because I lost so many challenging and fun campaigns to instability .

Nevertheless best mod combination I have ever played, I really hope we will see a more stable version some day.

[romavictoria]

Very Good mod but it hangs very often! =)

[Maced0n]

@romavictoria
@Furin

Sorry guys byt i havent look into MNM for a long time not even played....
For now no fixes ....
