SS FAQ, Problems & Solutions

[King Kong]

FAQ:


How do I install this mod?
1. Requirement is the official M2 patch 1.2.
2. Install Stainless Steel 4.0

Note: It is very important that you install the mod into the correct directory.
Normally this is ".../Program Files/SEGA/Medieval II Total War".

When you have installed the mod in another directory, just point it manually to the correct directory.


How do I launch this mod?
- Double-click the Launch_Stainless_Steel_Mod.bat file, located in the "Medieval II Total War" folder (where your medieval2.exe is)


Is this mod seperated from the original game and other mods?
- Yes.


How can I remove the additinal blood/new skies?
- Delete the "overlaytextures"/"globallighting" folder (in Stainless_Steel/data)


Possible Problems & Solutions:

Wrong character sounds and other sound problems:
- delete events.dat and events.idx from the Stainless_Steel /data/sounds folder. Copy events.dat and events.idx from your main Medieval II Total War/data/sounds folder and paste them into the Stainless_Steel /data/sounds folder.


The game freezes in the first AI turn(s)
- Probably not related to this mod. Search the technical help or the general discussion forum


Unspecific crash to desktop
- please look into your system.log file (In Medieval II Total War folder) and paste the last 2 lines here. This will help me to find the problem more quickly.


Known Bugs:

- A very rare bug is when you click around much in the building trees, it can happen that the symbols get messed up!
You should then leave the building tree browser, otherwise it can happen that the game freezes.
This is caused because of the new faction symbols, which need additional texture files and the game doesn't seem to like that sometimes.
This new files are also the reason why the Aragon and Kievan Rus symbols don't look like they should at some parts.

- Unfortuntely I didin't get the new unit sprites to work yet.

I will make a patch for those things soon...

Alright nvm I'm able to launch it, but now when I do launch it starts up the screen and then after like 2 seconds it goes to desktop before I get to the menu or anything. The system log says this

SUM1 PLZ help I want to play it so bad!!!!!!!!!!

[King Kong]

Hi Hounf of Culan,

The system.log shows only "normal" warnings that don't matter, so I can't be sure what's wrong.
However, this sounds like the mod isn't installed correctly...
Just make sure that you install the mod in the correct directory.

[vaevictus]

When given a mission to establish Diplomatic Relations, it seems that it doesn't give me a time limit and fails the mission automatically. This is while playing the Templar Faction.

[Mike13531]

really? all you really have to do is get a trade agreement or anything like those would do.. what do you mean, it fails auto.?

-----

Installed 1.02 successfully (been playing it a while), and the mod (3.2 Stand alone) is definitively installed in the correct directory. I've edited the descr_strat before, so I don't know if that is causing the unspecified crash to desktop.

[King Kong]

Hi Comrade Wiggum,

20:52:33.687 [system.io] [warning] open: data/ui/southern_european/interface/modpage.tga is missing

This message indicates that you must use another mod that uses an additional "modpage.tga".
Go the ".../Medieval II Total War/data/ui" folder, backup the shared.sd and strategy.sd files (which should come from another mod) and delete them.
This should actually solve the problem and you should be able to launch Stainless Steel...


Hi Burnt,

Try to delete the whole "animations" folder in Stainless_Steel/data.
I think this will solve the problem...

[Burnt]

I don't think there is an animation file in the Stainless_Steel/Data

Screen Shot:

[Burnt]

Ok, I'm trying to copy all the files that the log said I'm missing into Stainless_Steel folder. Will this make it work?

Is the mod flawed/corrupted? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

[King Kong]

Hi Burnt,

Oh, I forgot to mention that this animations folder was only in the SS3.2 patch, so when you have the stand-alone version this folder doesn't exist there, of course.

And the "warnings" of missing files in your system.log are actually all "normal" errors from vanilla game. So the mod is actually not flawed or corrupted.

The only unusual warning is that one:

AnimDB: Could not load - 'data/animations/engine/great_bell_tower_destruction.CAS'
00:21:16.968 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

Therefore I thought it must have something to do with the animations.

But unfortunately I have no idea at the moment what could cause this, and it seems that you're the first one with this problem...:hmmm:

[Burnt]

Then do you recommend that I removed 3.2 stand-alone, download 3.0, then patch it with 3.2?

[Burnt]

Ok, over a clean install it works. Superb... gonna try to edit it now, see if it still works...


Update: Cool, it works post edit. Superb mod.... love the new stuff.

[This Name Taken]

It doesn't work for me either.

Hi Burnt,

Good to hear that it finally works!


Hi This Name Taken,

hmm... are you sure that you've installed the mod into the correct directory?
The system.log doesn't show any "unusual" errors...

you said it is improperly installed... I know that 1.2 works, it's the official version, been using it forever, and I know that I installed the stand alone version on top of it and in the correct directory. Could having lands to conquer installed have anything to do with it?

wait, I think I just fixed it... in the .cfg file for SS, you need to remove the line "io.file_first= true" or whatever it says... it seems to work now... phenomenal mod. I love it.

Yes I've installed it in the right directory.
And 1.2 works perfectly.
I've even tried deleting "[io] file_first = true"

I've also reinstalled stainless steel but still no luck.
