Question-can you have multiple versions of TATW installed at the same time?

**Cannor** · June 21, 2009, 03:00 AM

Hi

Thing is, I like the vanilla TATW version and have modified it only with visual stuff like ve etc.
But I would also like to have a more chalanging game and I would like to try out RC/RR but I dont want to change my TATW version I have installed because I would like to keep using it.

So the qustion is; is it possible to have TATW installed two times that you can have two versions running? That would also be a great thing for comparing mods and ai.

So,thank you guys in advance

P.S: I am not sure if this is the right thread for this topic but I guessed its closest?

i guess it would have been better placed in bugs & technical help, but it doesn't matter
go to m2tw/mods and copy the Third_Age Folder. rename the copy to something, for example Third_Age2
now go to mods/Third_Age2/TATW.cfg and open with notepad

Code:

[features]
;editor = true
mod = mods/Third_Age

change mods/Third_Age to mods/Third_Age2
save & close

now right click Third_Age.bat and choose edit

Code:

cd ..\..
start kingdoms.exe @mods\Third_Age\TATW.cfg

change mods/Third_Age/TATW.cfg to mods/Third_Age2/TATW.cfg
save & close
go to desktop, right click an empy space, and choose new>shortcut
point to ../m2tw/mods/Third_Age2/Third_Age.bat

right click the new shortcut, choose properties and click change icon
click browse, and point to ../m2tw/mods/Third_Age2/icon.ico
