Arthurian: Total War - The Raven Feeders v0.73 (Complete - mod foldered)

[Cornelius the Noble]

How do you create a shortcut on the desktop? I have Windows 7, I created the new arthur folder like in the instructions, but a shortcut is needed. I tried pasting the shortcut to the desktop and then got an error trying to load ATW. BI vanilla works just fine.

Cornelius, head to the directory of your Rome Total War installation. For most people this is C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War. Here there should be a shortcut titled 'ATW' Copy this and paste it onto your desktop.

If you have the gold edition of Rome Total war, then the directory will be different and the shortcut will not work without a little editing. For those with the gold version of RTW, the directory is by default c:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War.
To make the shortcut work, right click on it and select properties.
Replace what is in the Target box from this "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -mod:arthur
to this "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\RomeTW-BI.exe" -show_err -mod:arthur (including the " at the start)

Also replace what is in the Start in box from this "C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War"
to this "C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War" (once again this includes the ").

Hope this fixes your problems

[Cornelius the Noble]

Delysid, thank you for your help. I had to do a bit of tinkering around but within ten minutes or so I was able to launch the mod. I also get to have vanilla BI too! Though I doubt I'll play that again.

[Delysid]

Good to hear you got it working
Also remeber to activate the script before playing to recieve the best out of this mod.

Not really sure how to solve the visual c++ issue but some searching around suggests reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ may solve issues. Something to do with the library corrupting that will be fixed during a reinstall? I don't really know, just some info i've found and best of luck to you guys with this problem.

Thanks a lot for the info....had a CTD issue during the AI-turn and its gone now (was the second turn of my campaign in 486AD, unfortunately )...so I can definitely recomment reinstalling Visual C++...



I'm not new to RTW & Mods but new to TWC ..so: Hi all & Greetings !
Originally coming from the (Hardcore) Simracing Community where I was active a couple of years (always been a little obsessed with realism in videogames) I found my way to RTW two years ago - with Emperor to which my partner introduced me . I wasn't much interested in Strategy Games at all but to my surprise I found it a very fascinating and pretty little game:that watching a virtual realm to grow and prosper can make so much fun.... Only problem: 2D and the battles with that tiny soldiers were a bit ridiculous (actually: to cute for my taste ). "Isn't there something where that whole thing is combined (virtual administration AND decent ancient virtual warfare) in one game?" I asked myself....et voila : a few weeks later I've got RTW Gold on my desk.
And another few weeks later the first mods (RTR and IB7) and, thank God , due to my experiences with racesims like GTR2 (mod friendly) or (a bit more tricky) RBR I wasn't frightened to make them work in case ( just getting used to the RTW file structure).

I have more problems to find my way through this huge TW Wal Mart (TWC) here ..

Thanks a lot for all this fine mods I had the pleasure to test and play so far - brilliant work guys, absolutely stunning.

This doesn't work for me whenever I try to run it tells me that it can't open the soundbase.

[DragonsWarrior]

i'll try installing the old way. is there going to be any future patches or a arthurian 1.0 coming out

[Delysid]

There is another patch currently being worked on.

[DragonsWarrior]

thats great cant wait

[Serapio]

@ DragonsWarrior welcome to the club. i think, we have to be patient... i hate those inexplicable mystifications of windows vista.

[DragonsWarrior]

i know same hopefully it will work on the xp

[Nicodemus]

This is an unofficial fix ( ie tested only by me that corrects the following issue:

1) In the script - Restoration of the "Arrival of Cerdic & Cynric", and "Unrest of the Bernician Foederati" mentioned by a few, including Dansk Viking here ( http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...=310881&page=2 )

It is a .rar file so extract to a new folder, rename the old ATW_Campaign.txt and then copy the new one in.

The changed file is:

1) ATW_Campaign.txt ( which lives in arthur\data\scripts\show_me )

This is save-game compatible, although of course, if yur game has passed the date that Cerdic arrives after installing the script, he won't turn up !

Many thanks to the ATW team, and also to Stuie for finally mod-foldering it !!

NB. The Gaelic Building recruitment correction was already done by Swabian (see http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...51#post5362451) and the first post in this thread.

[swabian]

I don't get it, people, i have corrected this bug ages ago. I'll leave this here though.

[swabian]

I have set this correct shortly after the 072 release.

I strongly recommend to use this and not the inofficial stuff above, as this is most likely unbalanced and ignorant of several aspects.

[Barbarian Roman]

Love this mod. What's really amazing is that there are 20 factions on a smaller map in this mod, leads to an action packed game!

[vassalofbahamut]

Ok....I might be doing this wrong...I extracted the mod to C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War, and I tried clicking on the ATW shortcut to start. It said that the path did not exist (C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War-BI) Am I doing something wrong with the installation?

[DragonsWarrior]

finally got vista and the mod looks great people

[TheXand]

Hmm, I can't seem to make the mod work it keeps giving me error messages when I start it up.

Edit: Never mind, my bad I had DarthMod installed and that was messing things up.
