Has anyone tried running the mod using the kingdoms exe?

If so, what sort of errors does it give?

[ElSypatiko]

i tried this and the error was "Put in the MTWII cd "
Will confirm this tonight.
Will you make an upgrade of this mod playable for kingdoms?

Just in case someone is wondering...

I have an M2:TW installed from discs, and Kingdoms installed from Direct2Drive. I have Kingdoms patched up to 1.5 with the patch provided by D2D, and this mod patched up to 1.15.

I installed the mod as per directions, mostly (screwed up and put the patches in the folder made by the mod the first time. But it was easy enough to fix) and the mod works just fine.

I haven't tried using the Kingdoms.exe, mostly because I'm clueless on how to do that. But, the game runs great as installed.

[AlphaDelta]

If you want to try with the kingdoms exe I would guess you need to edit the .bat file in a text editor to change the medieval2.exe to kingdoms.exe or whatever it's called.

Cheers

using kingdoms exe cause instant crash to desktop.

this i found regarding CTD on start:

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=143177

CTD on startup
Q: When you start the mod you get a black screen and the mod CTDs.

A: There is an erronous entry in the data\unit_models\battle_models.modeldb, normally a reference to an non-existant mesh or texture, or an entry is incorrect. You won't recieve any help in the log for this so you'll have to check your entries manually.


Also this could be it:

Loading CTD
Q: The game starts to load, then CTD.

A: This is usually caused by an entry in the data\export_descr_buildings.txt or data\export_descr_unit.txt, such as an incorrect entry. The log files should help.


game start to load, i see first screen,then before loading bar appear, game ctd...

[AlphaDelta]

Ok I see the problem now with the mount file. It's trying to read some mounts that PB added, but there is no model for. Those should be removed from the mounts file.

The other errors are strange, because those buildings are still in the EDB.

Cheers

what about delete all unused entries? You done use mailed and barded horses anyway, and same with all those unused units in EDU...

I hope this mod will work well with Kingdoms 1.5... I don't want to install everything once again...

[Grimmy]

I hope this mod will work well with Kingdoms 1.5... I don't want to install everything once again...

I have Kingdoms 1.5 installed over my M2:TW and this mod works fine for me.

I followed the directions and installed the mod to M2:TW main directory and use the provided .bat that starts the mod with the M2:TW exe and not a single problem or issue for me.

Well, not a single problem or issue other than not being able to keep my cities from rebeling, my army from geting it's tail whomped and my faction's economy going into financial ruin with a stunning quickness...

Other than that, all is well.
