MA Technical Help

[ROFL Copter]

Well I am a bit confused as to where you place the MOD, the installer says something about the Rome Total War folder, but not which folder. Also Steam has broken Alexander XPACK into its own game, as if it is standalone.

So I was confused as to where to put the MOD, I tried installing into the Alexander Folder and tried launching the game with Desktop Shortcut, but it failed to intialize and said it could not find steam.

This may be a bit late, as you havnt posted in 3 months, but heres the answer to this one. You install the game into the steam/steamapps/common/alexanderTW folder, and then you should get a shortcut on your desktop. Right click it and go to properties. Under target it should say something like "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War BI\RomeTW.exe" -show_err -nm -mod:alexander\MA . Make sure you also have a shortcut to the normal game, AlexanderTW. Right click the latter one and click on properties. Where it said target, you should get "C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 4770 or something very similar. Copy this. Go back to the MA shortcut and paste this over part of the target so that it reads:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 4770 -show_err -nm -mod:alexander\MA

Or something similar. This is how to start mods on Steam.

Not that soon, I had problems with balancing that set me back quite a bit. Trying to get back on track ATM.

I hope for it soon the problem is resolved...

hi, really hoping to use your beautiful looking map for what should of been alexander; but after install and the data patch i tried to run, and i get a CTD saying something about eastern mounted archers having a range of 170 which was too high for their weapon (arrows with range of 130)

seems a little weird. haha

[rollinnse]

disregard =]

[Roman_Man#3]

[CAPTAIN LOKI]

It would help if you describe what kinds of problems.

[Kirbanator]

Sorry, the game exits out everythime i click on certain cities. I have to find out which ones. Sais i think is one.

[Roman_Man#3]

If you can find which cities it are that cause the crash, I can fix it.

[Kirbanator]

Sais, Ecbatana, Carmana, and Baktra are the ones that i know for sure. Will give any others if i find them.

[ROFL Copter]

Is anyone going to fix the broken script soon?

[Roman_Man#3]

It will be, I had to uninstall the release version because I was switching computers, but it should be out soonish. Could very well be delayed if I have other stuff going on though.

[Roman_Man#3]

K, got the script fixed and the cities fixed. Will upload either a full version or a patch soon.

[Kirbanator]

Cool thanks

[ROFL Copter]

How soon? I really want to play this.
