Making Vampire generals immortal

**Big Bear** · March 20, 2011, 10:50 PM

Hi, can this mod be adapted for RTW 1.5, only I'm fiddling about with a fantasy mod in which making some of the characters imortal, would be quite nice. A Samurai Vamipre clan to be more specific, a bit embarasing if they keel over from old age every now and again.

Thanks
Big Bear

I've edited the first post, so everyone can easily find url to makanyane's critical update.

Sorry for my distraction about testing Severin&730 all factions campaigns before posting this thread... makanyane's fix should surely help you.

I've applied everything correctly, including the fixes, my game keeps crashing once I click on a unit/general/agent...

**makanyane** · May 02, 2009, 02:11 PM

that sounds like when you made changes to the
eod2/data/text/export_VnVs.txt

it messed up the file type (therefore it's not reading any of the trait text translations anymore)
text files need to be saved as Unicode not ANSI, try again and check that is the option selected when you 'save_as' the file.

Thanks it was indeed this, plus another syntax error in the export_descr_character_traits.txt.

With this fixed, I'll try to rebalance units that have lost their shield walls ability (more shield points and closer fighting formation) then take a look into formations, so far there are only 4 formations affected by the change and this looks like it can be fixed.

Wow,does this really work? I had heard that Immortality was impossible to implement, if this truly does work you should contact King Kong or someone else on the Third Age team so that they can implement it for their Elves

not unless they're going to port it back to RTW to use the Alex.exe....

it's a feature of the exe - and as far as I know not included in M2

I know Wlesamma got immortal generals in his lotr mod but then that applied to EVERY general not just faction specific ones.

LOTR is on the Alaxander platform.

Sorry for awakening this thread but does the lyncan generals be immortal to?
I'm asking because i rather like to play this mod as the underworld series where the lyncans are immortal (or atleast have long lifespawn).

**Trajan27** · October 30, 2009, 05:05 PM

Download the mod in my sig. It has 2 files, 1 to make both Lycans and Vampires immortal, and one just for vamps.

Take Care!

**Mr. Sparrow** · October 31, 2009, 09:39 AM

Thanks! but for some reason the mod wont install i think its because my computer won't reconigse the Xcopy command
is there a way to pass that?

**Trajan27** · November 01, 2009, 11:00 AM

X Copy? I have no idea what that is. All you have to do is open the archive and extract the files to your Rome- Total War directory.

Edit: You need to use the winrar utility http://www.rarlab.com/

**Mr. Sparrow** · November 02, 2009, 07:27 AM

I have the winrar but every time i install the games shows an error at the start of the game:

Code:

Error! File name doesn't exsist: Data/models_buildings

And this is the inside of my installer:

Code:

REM BI Modfolder installation batch file idea stolen from Palantir faults are due to Makanyane tampering..
REM This batch file should be set to execute before installer exits
REM Your modfolder should be installed to the eod2 folder
REM Assumptions are made so please check the comments carefully

REM the below creates a eod2 folder in the install directory (i.e. the RTW directory):
MD .\bi\eod2\data\items\
MD .\bi\eod2\data\models_building\textures\
MD .\bi\eod2\data\ui\roman\buildings\construction\
MD .\bi\eod2\data\ui\barbarian\buildings\construction\

REM the below some needed contents of the bi data folder into the eod2 folder;

You need to download the settlement fix by Markanyane. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/attac...3&d=1233521778

You need this so you can use the Severin or Lycans. Just extract the file to your text folder where you installed EOD II.

**Lanjane** · March 21, 2011, 02:28 AM

It isn't exactly a mod, just a tweak that can be applied to any RTWAlexander-based mod or a submod that uses Alexander engine. Sorry, but immortality can't be adapted for RTW 1.5 because it is a hard-coded feature of RTW-ALX.exe. However, you don't need the whole Alexander expansion for immortality to work, just .exe file (and some tweaks in text files, as it was described in the first post)

Thanks dude, much apreciated, Alex is fairly simmilar to RTW, I'll give it a go and see.

It's so funny to read your posts guys, about Dracula

with immortality etc

. It is a fantasy guys, Vlad the Impaler wasn't an vampire, even the Castle of Dracula isn't his Castle, because Vlad Tepes (how us romanians know him) never ruled the Castle, he was our King (in my area) Wallachia and he got the name of Impaler after his rules of order, and he dissapear (not assasinated or lost in the dungeon of the Hungarian King how is other version,or decapitated and his hed sended to the Ottoman Sultan etc

). Nobody knows exactly where are his body, that,that British writer Bram Stoker , write about him the book, because he was fascinated about him
