Am i the only one (other than Hekk) who seems to be having the same problems as Hekk is having?

Do you also have the game installed to a path other than the default? If so, then your problems are seemingly related.

Also does your error log end at this line:

19:45:23.645 [system.io] [info] open: found mods/PDER_1.0/data/descr_names.txt

Which is always the last line of an error log from a vista user...

What language version of the game are you playing btw?

[Dutchpower]

That's bizarre...is this a custom battle? If so, what battle map?

A quick battle? What? Can't be a campaign battle...

Custom battle yes. And its the standard battle map cant remember the name.

At first i thought it was just my game but the vanilla doesnt do that, and the vanilla has music dont over see that error because its a big one.

[fuglefot]

I have the English version installed to a custom path.
And my log ends the same also, in case you missed my previous post.

[hekk]

Hmm. Try changing the path specified in your Launch_PDER_1.0.bat file to point to the folder you did install to?

cd ..\..
kingdoms.exe @mods\PDER_1.0\PDER_1.0.cfg

How do I change that in the bat file?

Also to be more specific, this is how my M2TW is like

I installed vanilla M2TW and Kingdoms like this "D:\Games\Medieval II Total War\" and installed your mod into there and it looks like this now "D:\Games\Medieval II Total War\mods\PDER_1.0\". I also have other mods, but they work completely fine.

Sorry that I can't be anymore helpful in this, because it is a weird problem.

I have the same error on the systems log, default path running Vista. The error only occurs AFTER I copy the sound patch into the sounds folder. I can run the game normal before then, just without sound.:hmmm:

This mod is the best by the way, hope this gets figured out soon

What language version are you playing? Also don't copy those files over and just copy over your vanilla sound files to the PDER data/sounds folder and see if that allows you to play the game with sound. The accents will be wonky though

[Robert der Grosse]

Im running English version, still get the crash. But the log error is diffrent. See Below

1] What language versions are you playing?
2] Are you using VISTA (not for you Hekk)?
3] Are you using a STEAM copy of the game?
4] The crash is occuring after the Splash Screen? The first loading screen?
5] Please either post your system logs somewhere? Or paste the last few lines here?

1- English
2- XP
3- Yes
4- Loading screen appears then black screen comes and when i push any button, I return to Windows

[Dutchpower]

Ok sound problem solved, but what makes those textures not show up? In the campaign for example the mountains are not showing up and the water is really ugly.

If you're using STEAM, try this:

-Open steam to the "My Games" area.
-Right click on Medieval 2: Total War and click "Properties". Click on launch options.
-Paste this in there - @mods\PDER_1.0\PDER_1.0.cfg (Don't include the dash)
-Next time you launch the game from STEAM it will run whatever mod you have it set to launch.
-If you want to play vanilla, remove whatever launch options you put there.
-The M2:TW directory is here:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\medieval ii total war

Lemme know if that works for you, a'ight?

[Socal_infidel]

@Robert der Grosse

Robert, did you happen to try adding the following line:

[game]
allusers=1

to your PDER_1.0.cfg file?

[Socal_infidel]

Mind posting a screen of this matey? I'm beyond befuddled, believe you me, I'm bona fide bewildered, brother.

[Robert der Grosse]

Yes, also removing the copied sound files still results in a crash after they have been removed. Guess I will play without sound for a while

[Scolot]

I have the same problem:

I added alluser string in cfg file and still the same problem.

I have unmodded M2 (russian localization), Win XP.
All another mods I've installed are working correctly.

[Socal_infidel]

If you're using VISTA, might also want to check out this thread

I'll be back in a bit...have some actual work I have to get to

[Dutchpower]

Btw it opens kingdoms.exe with me, should it not open medieval2.exe?

Ill make a screenie soon.

Edit: I just changed the boot sequence from kingdoms.exe to medieval2.exe and then i got the same "medieval 2 will now quit" error as the guys above. Maybe something helpful?

19:22:13.890 [system.rpt] [error] Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified error and will now exit.

That's the last line from my error log, I'm using the English language version and i have in on XP and my PRER_1.0 folder is 1.39 GB (1,496,893,842 bytes)

Here is the screeny of my campaign.

[ImKyleJames]

So, about that HRE bug, I kinda want to be The HRE so is there a quickfix or maybe tell me exactly where it is I need to change it.

Also, that map screenie up above, I've seen that before like on battles where all the aztecs were chrome and the roads look all white. Most people dont get that problem so it might just be a compatibility issue. Dunno, i'll let u know when I try it when i get home =)

[Venta Icenor Um]

Packs folder and preferences folders are both empty, is that supposed to be?
