No Icon

[Navajo Joe]

I have just loaded Original, then each of the patches, but there is no icon to hit to bring up the game? I have had a brief look on threads, so sorry if this has been asked million times

The icon is in your M2TW folder.

create a shortcut from the king or country bat.
then

After creating the shortcut from the bat you will see this;



Drag that shortcut to your desktop.

If you wish to give it the proper icon:
1.Right click it
2. Click 'properties'
3. Click 'change icon'
4. Click 'browse'
5. Direct it to the icon in the Medieval II Total War folder (fkoc_icon.ico)

[AlphaDelta]

One is a .ico file, one is a .bat and one is a shortcut.

Click on the shortcut or the bat.

Hey Guys,
Still no luck on this one, no icons. I have tried installing 4 times now, to no avail. I think one of reasons below could be the root cause.
1. I have Stainless Steel Mod on or
2. When I downloaded mod and two patches, I did from the local library as my work Internet does not allow access to game sites. The library internet did not allow access to Filefront. Therefore I used Moddb link, which is US based and used Europe option, which may be Eastern US. I of course have Euro non gold version.
Which one of these is the problem

[AlphaDelta]

Can you paste in here the exact directory you are telling the installer to install to.

Cheers

The prob is I am at work and PC at home is not on internet, so can't do now, but I can do. However what I can tell you is that I have WINRAR and by extracting All files and replacing in C Drive/SEGA/Medieval2 with mod and two patches. On checking the Med2 folder under programmes it stores the Mod and first patch in folder and then creates a new sub folder for 2nd patch.
It is patched to 1.5, tell me can i install a 2nd copy of Med2, but call it something else in C Drive. As far as patches could I use the patches in Kingdoms 1.2 &1.3 and then stop Kingdoms installation

[AlphaDelta]

It shouldn't be creating a seperate sub folder for the 2nd patch. 1.0 1.1 and 1.15 should all be pointed at your MED2 folder.

Cheers

I direct the Mod and two patches at Sega/Medieval2 by Extracting and Replacing the Files.
I am thinking of creating a second version of Med2, but calling it something else in C Drive and patch it to 1.3 only
