Help Requested From Afar!

[Scythan]

Hello, to the Stainless Steel community, first of all let me thank all the apropriate individuals for this fantastic mod that breathes new life into M2TW, so much so I actually returned my pre-order of Napoleon Total War because I rediscovered this game due to your fine mod, and can wait for $19.95US prices for Napoleon!

It's that good.

That said, I am a bit of a control freak, I suppose and this has led me to want to tweak a few things with Stainless Steel, top of that list is enabling Jerusalem as a playable faction in Early Campaign. I've worked very hard at this but sadly have hit a dead end; the modder's equivalent of Writer's Block I suppose.

Upon selecting Jerusalem, and starting a new game there are no crashes, however the moment the game starts I see

VICTORY CONDITIONS FAILED

and my only option is to return to the menu.

I've gone over VictCond file and can't find the error, but I suspect it's linked to the removal of the Kwazem (sp) to replace them with Jerusalem.

I've started a threat in mod workshop with my decr_strat, win_conditions and logs here

and ask help of the wonderful Stainless Steel community to help me solve this error and conqueror the Holy Lands!

Thank You So Much!!

if you want to avoid all that effort you could check out the RR/RC sub mod. it has Crusader states playable in the early campaign. and it really is a must have. if you think SS is good check out the latest RR/RC

[Rat-tail]

If you do not want RR/RC ... I do not know why...

There also is another choice look for Kingdom of Heaven Sub mod. Adds in both Jerusalem and Antioch.

Only it is 6.1 and not RR/RC ready

According to your other thread, you decided to combine 6.2 RC4 with jman47's 2TPY mod. They are not compatable. Jman47's mod is designed for RR/Rc, not 6.2 RC4 but makes the Crusader States an emerging faction instead of playable. No wonder you've got problems. Then you tried your own changes. The best solution is to start over clean with a new installation of RR/Rc.

Hah! I forgot to subscribe properly to this thread, so I apologize for not getting back to you fine folk sooner!

I was under the impression the 2TPY modification was intended to work with RC 4?

installation:

Make sure you have a clean install of SS with Graculs 6.2 patch.
Then copy (drop) these files/folders into the SS data directory.
Overwrite all files (i recommend backing up your files).

I have never heard of this RR that does...exactly...what I am tryin' to do, HAH, wow I feel like a complete scrub and I apologize for this but I thank all of you for your efforts in helping me learn about these things, over in the Mod Workshop several folk and I have been beating our heads against the wall to figure this out!

You're correct about the 2TPY and my own modifications and I had the sneaking suspicion I might just be making things worse! I've learned much about scripting and modifications and how ME2's engine reads data, so I am thankful for that. I also hope I've involved myself in a fantastic community that continues to re-vitalize Medieval 2 and Empire so I can return Napoleon TW [money, etc.] and have faith that I've enough new content to fully enjoy the re-vitalization of Medieval.

I'll look into this RR right away, I've saved backups (not THAT new) of everything that was changed, so I'll be able to revert without reinstalling! Thank you all for your suggestions!

I'll be sure to keep you posted in this thread on how things turn out

Thanks Again,

Looking for A Signature,

Scythan

EDIT
Also I was unaware of the RR/RC (Obviously) component of the 2TPY-AISB mod, is there another 2TPY mod without this requirement that performs 2TPY for BOTH Early and Late Campaigns?

If so please let me know with a link!

Thank You

Still Looking for a Sig,

Scythan

Latest RR/RC has altered victory conditions.

Install latest RR/RC (Oct 30) files over SS6.1 with no options ticked, then install latest patch from today (Feb 27).
