Hi dude,you installed the Mod in the wrong place.
you have to install the Mod in your game directory.
this thread may help:

this guy had the same problem (incorrect installation),and the Mod is working well with him now.

Good Luck

[shootie]

ok will try it now let ya know if it works

[shootie]

ok tried it what it said on the post but till no luck same thing as the screenie above im gettin really p issed with this mod now

[shootie]

i didnt have the same problem as that guy when i installed it i intalled it to a new folder i made for it

[Lord Of The Knights]

that is the problem,you need to install it in your game directory (Rome Total War).

Good Luck.

nononono ive installed quite a few mods i know that what i do is i copied my clean rtw files to another folder THEN i installed my rome medieval to the copied one

[Lord Of The Knights]

Ok im wrong,do what you want.

[shootie]

well thanks for the help anyway your supposed to be creator of the mod and i showed you a screenie of a problem so if you dont know about it post the problem man it dosent work full stop the files are currupt. Should i try download it from a different place? Or is it a actual script problem?

[Jingles]

I've had this problem myself before (or something similar) and the cause was that I had not installed into a clean version of RTW.

If this isn't the problem, which I suspect it isn't, It may be something to do with vista, which from your screenshot I gather is your current operating system. Vista is well known to cause problems with RTW and it's mods, and this may be a new one we haven't encountered with this mod so far.

[Lord Of The Knights]

Hi,i told you what you need to do shootie! but you said nonono... and refused to listen,what i can do more??

anyway,i know every word in this Mod.
im ready to help you,no one in the world can help you in that more than me.

[shootie]

im sorry guys im so annoying its not like me but i really want this mod to work cuse it looks great!

It wasnt LOTK the topic u showed me the guy had a completly different problem i copied my clean rtw (i.e all the files of rtw copies and pasted) to another folder then installed rome medieval to that copied one . I would probally say what jingle bombs said is true and that its ing vista :hmmm: . Sorry if i sounded annoying guys! hmm do ya think i should download the 5-parts instead? just to see if the results is any different? (doubt it is but i really wanna play this mod)

[ttoommyy]

You may ask if any1 in this forum is able to play RM with Vista.
For me, I agree with LOTK. You may not install in the right place
OR
if it is right place, you may not change "two pathes" in the property of the shortcut .

[Lord Of The Knights]

with vista? i will try that now.
as i said before,the reason must be one of these:
1.RM is installed in the wrong path,you need to reinstall RM in your game directory.
2.your RTW1.5 maybe not clean (using other mods),so you have to install new RTW1.5 and then install RM.

about the files,the files are working well in all sources.you dont have to reDownload from another source.

i really seemed angry (maybe coz i had a final test that i had to study in one day).dont worry shootie,RM Team and i ready to help you.

[Jingles]

Oh, and make sure you install all the hotfixes.

[Lord Of The Knights]

right,thanks Jingle_Bombs

[shootie]

yeh i tried re-installing a clean rtw and the same thing came up.

Hotfixes? do i need them when the game starts to work in order to avoid CTD? or do i need them to get the game to actually work?:hmmm: and i uninstalled rome medieval already so do i need to download again?

as for the shortcuts i doubt it i was able to play S.P.Q.R and roma surrectum the same. btw LOTK its ok if you was abgry happens to the best of us lol

[Lord Of The Knights]

No,you dont need them right now,and the Mod works without them.
can you describe the situation clearly?i need to know if there is RomeMedievalMod in your game directory (Rome Total War).
and i need to know how did you install the Mod
(by installer/copy,paste ....),and what source did you choose?.

im waiting answer.

[shootie]

ok ok il tell you what i remember

well it downloaded ok and i installed it into a empty folder then i copy and pasted a clean rtw into another folder then i copy and pasted the data of rome medieval into the data folder of the copied rtw and so on with the preferences etc. and the extra data folder i got with the download too. Then i started my game and that came up i tried the -show_err and it said a script porblem in a line 17 or somthing in descr_skeleton

[Jingles]

Ok..that does sound like a bit of an odd installation.
