still need 1.3 for hotseats

[G-Spike]

Hey,
im participating in some hotseats, which still play 1.3 but i want to play 1.4 in singleplayer.
is it somehow possible to have two files, one for 1.3 and one for 1.4?

i copied the complete third age file with patch 1.3 somewhere else, patched to 1.4 and copied the 1.3 file back so i had two files. but it appears that both files have been patched.
it seems like the changes are made somewhere else..

does someone know a solution for this?

Check which batch files your shortcuts call.

The default batch file contains,

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

As you can see, the batch file refers to the default directory install location. So if you don't change these, they will start whatever you have in the mods/Third_Age folder. You will need to change the contents of this batch file in the appropriate folder to reflect the correct folder, ie something like

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

Oh yeah, the .cfg file also starts with,

[features]
editor = true
mod = mods/Third_Age

So you will likely want to change that in TATW.cfg as well to reflect the correct folder.

yay i made it!!

at first it didnt work but i found out that you have to edit the tatw.cfg file, too.
there it says " mod = mods/Third_Age "

but it has to be " mod = mods/Third Age 1.3 "


edit: lol you were faster, but i really found this out by myself.. and im proud of it
