Beta Installation Problem

[Ran]

I usually have problems installing mods, the only mods I was able to play successfully were RS and XGM. Anyway, so I made a copy of my clean RTW folder and then installed RM from Filefront. After that, I tried running the mod with my RTW copy folder but when the game launches, I get vanilla, not the mod. So how can I get RM to replace the copy of RTW?

Thanks in advance.

Hi ran,you installed the Mod in the wrong place that is the problem,you have to install the mod in your game directory,after that,run RomeMedieval from its shortcut.
try that and tell me,i hope it works.

[Ran]

I'll try one more time:

I installed the game on my local disk (C:), but I see 4 folders on RomeMedievalMod, not two.

[Lord Of The Knights]

what are the four folders names? and did you try to launch the game?

[shootie]

i had a similar problem to you Ran just copy and past all your files that you got with the download into the creative assembely folder. Then right click your shortcut and cilck propeties and write and the end of it. -MOD:Rome:medieval or whatever the file name is called that has Rome medieval files in it. then click on the shortcut and enjoy!

[Lord Of The Knights]

Thanks alot shootie,i hope that works with him too,the folder name is RomeMedievalMod so you have to add this in the shortcut's target line:
-mod:RomeMedievalMOD -nm -show_err

[Ran]

I have copied and pasted all RM folders into the original CA folder, I've also replaced all the vanilla folders with the RM ones. Am I doing it right so far? And thanks btw.

This is what it ALREADY says in my target line: "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -mod:RomeMedievalMOD -nm -show_err

So does this mean I don't have to add anything?

Alright, so I launched the game and the cool loading screen shows up, however, after waiting for a couple of minutes a message came up saying that there are some files that weren't able to load. Ballista blah blah blah. What am I doing wrong now?

[Lord Of The Knights]

This message?


i supose yes,that is a known problem,RM2 files are not in their right place,shootie had this problem but now its working with him,where do you have RomeMedievalMod (folder)? it must be in your Rome Total War (folder).if no,you have to copy the two RM2 folders and paste then in Rome Total War (folder).

[Ran]

I did, they're in the original RTW folder, but I do have a copy, should I delete that one? Also, that's the message that appears. I'm sure it's in the right place, but there seems to be a problem with the descr_engine file.

[Lord Of The Knights]

No,the descr_engine file is working perfectly,as i said,RM2 files are not in the right place.

go to : RomeMedievalMOD\Data\animations\engine\ballista and see if there is Ballista_idle.CAS file or not,if yes,that means RomeMedievalMod folder is in the wrong place.

Rome Total War folder must be like this: (you must have these folders (in green)).

[Ran]

I have the gold edition, does that make a difference? Also, the RM shortcut you circled isn't on my folder.

[Lord Of The Knights]

with the gold edition,you have to but RM folders in Rome Total War folder in creative assembely folder (simple).

go to : RomeMedievalMOD\Data\animations\engine\ballista and see if there is Ballista_idle.CAS file or not.

Good Luck!

[Ran]

I went through a search on the data folder and the computer didn't seem to find it.

[PanchoRocks]

I'm having the same problem, can some1 help me out a little?

[Emperor Alexius IV]

Well i have an other problem with the installation..

The game runs normally, but by the time i choose the compaing, it sends the message: please choose from the list, and it doesnt even open the compaing map to choose factions...

[ttoommyy]

I don't think you installed the game properly. Do you have other mods?

[Emperor Alexius IV]

i have the Extended greek mod, but it is installed to BI...

[Emperor Alexius IV]

I ve reinstalled Rome total war again, without mods and 1.5 version.
Installed also RM2.
Now it's opening everything, but still cant play. There are messages appearing telling that the system cant find some archives like above....

[Emperor Alexius IV]

OK... i ve checked everything and the ballitsa_idle.CAS is into that folder... What do i do now?
Also i dont have the shortcut of Rome medieval into the folder, nowhere....

[morfeasnikos]

You must find the shortcut...maybe it is in the main game folder
