SCREENSHOTS (sorry for quality of pics):
HINTS: IF U HAVE A PC NEWEST THAN A C64, I HINT U TO GROW UP "GRASS DISTANCE" ON MED2 PREFERENCE.CFG FILE..
DURING THE BATTLE, DISABLE (IF U CAN) OR REDUCE USER INTERFACE THRU INGAME OPTIONS, TO HAVE A BETTER VIEW OF THE FLORA
THE GAME MUST BE UNPACKED!!!!!
HOW TO CREATE io.file_first, NECESSARY TO LAUNCH THE GAME WITH UNPACKED GAME:
to create the .bat alternative exe of the game, io.file_first:
To do this, copy your medieval2.preference.cfg file and name the copy "mymod.cfg"
Then open "mymod.cfg" with a text editor and add the following to the top:
[io]
file_first = 1
[log]
to = logs/system.log.txt
level = * error
This will tell the game to use the files it finds in the data directory instead of those in the packs.
It will also enable error logging to a custom error log, which is highly recommended, but not strictly necessary.
In order to be able to start your game using this config, create a new text file inside your MTW2 directory called mymod.bat
Open it (right-click, edit) and write this into it:
Congratulations. If everything worked, you should now be able to run the game with your unpacked files by starting mymod.bat
now open your data directory (inside your MTW2 directory) and delete or rename descr_geography_new.db and descr_geography_new.txt (this is important - if you don't do it, your game won't run)
README:
