Additional Units Mod - Empire (AUM-EMP) 3.7 - updated 14.3.18

[Malakai1977]

i have a probelm. i've instaled AUM+language pack+graphics pack and the only thing that seems to work is graphics pack ( there are new flags and etc.) but nothing else,no new units,nothing. do you have some thoughts on that?

Could you be a bit more specific?
for instance: describe the steps you took to install AUM, did you use Modmanager to activate it, which version are you trying to install, are you using any other mods etc

The more info you can provide the better we can help you to get it working.

[arnas]

yes , my bad
well first of all i downloaded AUM 2.3 ,AUM graphic pack and AUM language pack EN, put it all in data folder and then launched Mod manager 1.5 ,selected it and tried to launch , result was CTD (btw everytime i try to launch the game through mod manager i get ctd). Then selected Aum on mod manager pressed SAVE and then launched the game directly from .exe . It worked ,but just the flag set part. So then i instaled family tree mode and again i get CTD if i try to launch it through mod manager ,but when i launched it from .exe no affection, it didn't work. then i tried to install darth mode, but it didn't work both ways - CTD.

I have Windows VISTA, AMD TURION X2 ULTRA 64 2.1ghz, 4gb RAM, ATI RADEON HD 3200 256mb up to 1918mb.

thanks

Check to see what your script file actually says. Sometimes mod manager doesn't input the filenames correctly.
Open:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts\user.empire_script.txt

For example, this is what mine looks like:

mod "CAPTAINCOX_LOADSCREENS_II_18thCENTURY_1280x1024.pack";
mod "darthmod.pack";
mod "sharpes rifles v1_7.pack";
mod "aum_mod_dm.pack";

You also always want AUM last, but I don't know if that would cause a CTD.

In my experience if any mod name is written incorrectly it will cause a CTD on startup.

Also make sure you are running Mod Manager as admin (right click 'Run as Administrator'), I know that it doesn't work for me unless I do.

[Malakai1977]

Also, do you have the latest version of Modmanager?

[Krisz87]

I know i'm not Swiss, but...
If you are talking about the African Guard Infantry, then yes, everyone can build them.
I think its safe to say that what you can recruit in custom games, you can also recruit in the campaign.

Hope this helps

thanks!

Well that is to bad, do not like that almost evreybody can recrut the same things

[Malakai1977]

thanks!

Well that is to bad, do not like that almost evreybody can recrut the same things

well there is a unit difference between western and eastern factions at least. and factionspecific units still remain.

Swiss i am wondering, the new units that you have added like the african infantry or what there name, can evrey faction recrut them or only hte Turks? Becuse when i lookt at the rooster for the faction evreybody could recrut your units in costum battles.

I agree with Malakai1977!

You can "de-activate" the "unit-to-faction relations" if you read the "How to customize AUM" section in my thread at the second post on the first site.

Here is all information about the "activated units" from my starting post:

52 ALREADY INCLUDED UNITS WHICH CAN NOW BE RECRUITED BY MORE FACTIONS:

These "already included" units are based on the "stats / costs / abilities / required techs / required buildings" from the corresponding major mod or from "vanilla standard ETW". If these units are "unbalanced" then it comes from the mentioned mod.

Arnas, did you add "mod aum_mod.pack;" to your user.empire_script.txt file?

yes i did, it rewarded me with CTD

Hello arnas, please try the following steps again:

Delete all AUM files except the "patch_aum_graphics.pack" from your ETW data directory.

> C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data

Download these two files again and unzip them: (because if the first download had an error, it would never work)

aum_mod.zip
patch_aum_en_loc.zip (if you use other unit packs too = patch_aum_en_loc_all.zip)

Make sure that in your "user.empire_script.txt" is only this written in there:
mod aum_mod.pack;

The location of the "user.empire_script.txt":
[spoiler]XP C:\Documents and Settings\(Your User Name Here)\Application Data\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

VISTA C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts

Important information if you edit the "user.empire_script.txt":
Whenever updating/saving the "user.empire_script.txt" make sure that the file is not being saved in ANSI format, and is instead saved in Unicode format, or else "Empire.exe" will not read the mod pack.

Try this for a test and then we'll see if another "normal mod" or "patch-type mod" is generating the conflicts.

Check to see what your script file actually says. Sometimes mod manager doesn't input the filenames correctly.
Open:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\scripts\user.empire_script.txt

For example, this is what mine looks like:
You also always want AUM last, but I don't know if that would cause a CTD.

In my experience if any mod name is written incorrectly it will cause a CTD on startup.

Also make sure you are running Mod Manager as admin (right click 'Run as Administrator'), I know that it doesn't work for me unless I do.

I completely agree here with trueshadow21 and thank you for this detailed explanation here for the viewers.

After my upcoming release of AUM 2.4 I will update my new created "FAQ" on the second post of my thread with a detailed "Troubleshooting-Guide" for AUM. As I did mention already above in this post, I will create a detailed information list of all custom AUM units and ships soon.

As I now have a second post in my thread I can provide much more information.

My first post had quite reached the size limit and therefore I had to shorten my post to the really needed things.

I will read through my whole AUM thread and gather all information/posts together I've made about problems of AUM.

Thank you very much Malakai1977, trueshadow21 and HellFell for your support here.

trueshadow21, Malakai1977, Swiss Halberdier huge thanks for the help so far.

Yes, Malakai, i was using latest version of mod manager.
Thats what i did lately, i re-instaled the game,tried it if it works, it did. Then re-downloaded AUM 2.3 and language pack put it in data directory, then created user.empire_script.txt in scripts directory wrote mod aum_mod.pack; there and saved it in unicode. i was not using mod manager this time. At last i tried to Launch the game and i get "Empire total war has stop working". It's kind of frustrating...

[Gadadngor]

Damn I can't wait for this 2.4 AUM! Well I will but I'm exited! Keep up the good job my good Swiss men!

Does your Empire load without any mods activated?

Hello to all AUM fans,

unfortunately I need some more time for finishing my AUM 2.4 release and I will release it tomorrow evening.

I've received in the last two days several awesome "graphical additions" from my "texture contributors" which I want to integrate into the four "aum_mod***.pack" versions.

Some additional info about the upcoming release:
3 new cavalry units
8 new infantry units
2 new artillery units
5 new ships

The waiting time will be fully worth it!

In the meantime I suggest to you that you check out the fantastic new "Ornamentum 1.1 Unit Pack" made by Danova, Ahiga and Johan217.

I've made a special balanced "Darthmod" version for "Ornamentum 1.1" which is downloadable at this site below and fully compatible with AUM.

Does your Empire load without any mods activated?

yes, it does load. As i've mentioned i re-instaled it checked if it works and then instaled AUM,no other mods.

p.s. knowing that there will be AUM update doesn't make it easier

[Gadadngor]

This new info make me more exited! That will be good addition to great mode! Thanks for the work Swiss!

[kyler721]

What is the latest patch to this mod, and when was it released. Could someone please post a link. Thanks in advance!!

[pajomife]

I cant play without your mod,after have so many units nothing will be the same,but I dont understand something,yes I'm a half noob, why the patch_aum_graphics.zip is so big,I note some diferent units ,and the new flags ,but 400 MB? There are any secret ,more hidden units for a late Era?

It will be quite the hugest release until now.

yes, it does load. As i've mentioned i re-instaled it checked if it works and then instaled AUM,no other mods.

Hmmm... very strange... I guess you have all recent updates from Steam?
Sorry I have to ask this but we don't come any further without this information I guess.

Could you please show some screenshots:

+ one with the content of the "user.empire_script.txt"

All links are on my first page > AUM 2.3 (last release 27.6.09)

Thanks, it seems that you are AUM addicted great!!!

Please read the whole section "Information about the included textures" in my first post.

The "patch_aum_graphics.zip" does contain only re-textures of vanilla textures and nothing else.

Here is the link to my "AUM Graphics Pack Album" with a few screenshots. But there are a lot more than in my album shown.

Sweet mod and awesome units! +rep

[Mr Tom]

I was just wondering if that in the next version or a later version the elite late line infantry could be faction specific, so it'd look like the Infantry had Shakos in some cases and look well more 1800s era Line than 1800s era Light.

[Swiss Halberdier]

Arna hate to ask this but you arent using a cracked copy are you? reason i ask is you say above you have no updates (when the game auto updates) and the screenshots above show a picture of your 'empire total war' folder inside your program files (x86) folder, whereas it should be in steam, steam apps, common etc etc. Where is steam???
Forgive if im wrong, just had to ask

Arnas,
well, that's the reason why you can't play mods. Get a legal copy and have fun.

lol Arnas, utorrent's helpful isn't it..

Hmm... I agree with the messages above. I never saw Empire in that folder? Where is Steam?

On your screenshot of the "scripts" folder there is shown "user.empire_script"
It should be "user.empire_script.txt". (but probably you have disabled the "file extension" that it isn't shown)

Sweet mod and awesome units! +rep

Thanks CHUCK!!!

Yes it will be definately replaced by another model.

Darth Vader has released today his new "Darthmod 2.4" and the APE:TI-team has released the new "A Proper Empire:Terra Incognita 1.0.5".

I have to download both files and re-balance AUM 2.4 according to them. This needs some more time.

[Preussen Gloria]

Hallo Swiss!

i just wanted to thank you for the last release of your mod,the new units are really nice,i'm really looking forward to any update of this nice mod.
