Not working for some reason

1.Just downloaded Rome:Total War Gold edition
2. Installed RTR 6.0
3. Deleted that map file

My shortcut path is F:\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 4760 -nm -show_err -mod:ExRM

I also have -show_err -nm -mod:ExRM in the launch options


RTR never starts..it just starts total war. What can I do to fix this?

RTR 6.0 is not compatible with RTW Gold Edition.

Also, EXRM is a full install, so you don't need any other mods in order to play it.

I suggest you reinstall RTW and install EXRM directly on top of it. EXRM is also mod switch mod so it wont overwrite any of the original game files, which will allow you to play vanilla if you so choose.

The -nm -show_err -mod:ExRM parameters for RomeTW.exe. I don't think Steam is smart enough to pass them along to the app you tell it to start. Try creating your own shortcut that goes directly to RomeTW.exe (or RomeTW-BI.exe). Probably would look something like "F:\Steam\steamapps\common\rome total war gold\RomeTW.exe -nm -show_err -mod:ExRM"

yes, Steam does have the potion to add those extra things

Alright I was being dumb, got it to work pretty easily. But now I'm getting a weird error... whenever I go into battle with greek militia. Generic error: Failed to find texture 'data/models_unit/textures/greek_militia.psd

Not sure why I'm getting an error at all...everything is fine. I've never even seen a psd file in TW before.

I'm not sure why you're getting this error. Post a thread about it in the EXRM forum and hopefully some of the folks there will be able to help you

[Caligula Caesar]

That is rather weird, since it should be 'data/models_unit/textures/greek_militia.tga'. BTW, you can ignore the gloss files, since they are optional and do other things

Try changing that line and see if it works...
